What has happened to Twista these days? He used to go really hard with Ruff Ryder’s on that gangster tongue-twister shit (video posted below). I guess those days are over for him. Joe Budden said it best when he pointed it out on his 15-minute track with “Twista is still tryin’ to recreate Slow Jamz.” I miss the pre-Kanye Twista and I am sure most of his male fans are missing him too. He still has a strong machine gun flow, but he won’t give up the single hunting. Roughly half of his new album is a single of some sort and aimed directly at the ladies. There is nothing wrong with making songs for the ladies, but Twista used to be a really hard MC. All I can hear when I listen to this album is: sell out. The standouts on here were Jump Off, Yo Body, Talk To Me, Misunderstood, and a Bigger Gun. This new album Category F5 (tornado reference) seemed more like a light breeze, 3/5.
