So the Twista is good? I'm surprised he is still around.

'tis good. Very solid

and my 26 is the 8Ball and MJG and I might switch that out so

i'm not much of a rap fan, but i like what joe tangari had to say about a twista song on his blog this month:

I’ve never much cared about virtuosity. I think it’s great when a musician manages to elevate his craft to a truly elite level, but it’s what he then does with that skill that’s important. Musicality before virtuosity—that’s the standard, I think.

Twista is a virtuoso. I don’t think there’s any question he has otherworldly talent—I think he’s actually in the Guinness Book of World Records for fastest rapping—but I don’t think that would amount to much if he wasn’t so bloody musical when he wields that prodigious skill.

This is my favorite hip-hop track of the year. I’ll be the first to admit I have a very casual relationship with hip-hop—I think with all the other things I’ve devoted myself to really thoroughly exploring and learning, it’s just lost out because I don’t have enough time to really follow it and work my way through the history. Consequently, my hip-hop collection and knowledge is a weird patchwork of gaping holes, sketchy knowledge and random things I heard once and happened to like.

I’m also not much of a lyrics person, so I suppose there’s a reason it’s never been my chosen area of focus in the same way that I’ve never really listened to much Bob Dylan. I think the reason this song is a top ten lock for me is that, while it’s certainly got a lot going on lyrically, it also sounds brilliant. My relationship with music is first and foremost a relationship with raw sound. It’s what I respond to, and this song hits so many pleasure centers in that regard.

First, there’s the matter of Twista’s rapping. I love the way he constantly varies his flow—one second he’s on the one, the next, he’s syncopating across the bar. The emphasis never stays static. And Raekwon is a good foil, with his more paced, heavy delivery. And then there’s the chorus, erupting out of nowhere with that great-sounding guitar (is that a sample? If so, of what?). Everything about it is tight and on-point. This is what you should do with virtuosity.

sorry, the track is the heat (ft. raekwon) from the perfect storm album.

why do you bother only listing 'commercially released' albums, chris? do u think adam cant figure out how to get the others? i struggle to understand

I just make lists of commerically released albums because i'm confident I can hear 80%-90% of commercially released albums and take a hard stance. I usually don't hear mixtapes until they reach some critical mass (though obv I like Big KRIT, Roach Gigz, Fabolous, Tyler The Creator, Freddie Gibbs, Playboy Tre, etc.)

Also, I like to own CDs, I like the "album" format, and I like to listen to music I can keep forever instead of stuff that I'm gonna put on a harddrive that I'm not gonna back up for 20/30 years.

I'm a rap fan with rockist tendancies, so sue me
