The tongue twisting master, Twista, is back again with a greatest hits album of sorts. Twista - "Adrenaline Rush 2000 (Greatest Hits)" Main| Reviews| Links| Opinions and Editorials| Interviews The Pharrell-helmed "Give It Up" is the only thing here that smells of money, but it's the typical Starboard P malaise from a man who doesn't seem very determined to make hit records anymore.Twista - "Adrenaline Rush 2000 (Greatest Hits)" Boomin' Words From Portsmouth And it doesn't matter if you rocked a shiny suit, khakis, or camouflage back in 1997 longtime collaborator Toxic and a cast of producers who aren't Kanye or Timbaland will help you remember any brand of filler from the era of mandatory 79-minute albums. Instead of famous friends, he gets a single detuned voice to spit the hooks on both "Whip Game Proper" and "Rist Stay Rocky" as if they didn't have enough trouble being distinguished from each other. In a moment of sheer "remember me?" desperation, Twista promises seduction to all manner of ladies by replacing the quiet storm chestnuts of "Slow Jamz" with the likes of Melle Mel and Sugar Hill, foolishly believing that shit could work.Īt the very least, Adrenaline Rush 2007 achieves its goal of recalling Twista's profile of a decade ago. "I Ain't That Nigga" sets the tone for the rest of the hour-plus runtime, with Twista mostly fumbling to find more things that rhyme with "desert eagle," "Impala," and "kush." At this point, you really start to wonder when someone else is finally going to show up, but to your dismay, it's Jazze Pha and Cee-Lo at his most Electric Circus-aspiring. The album is pretty much fucked from the jump- in between two skits you'll swear you heard elsewhere comes "Charged", an "Oh Boy"-like experiment that uses a far less versatile word to place after every line. Don't worry if that's where you fit in left to his own devices, he goes heavy on the thug talk and in true Twista fashion, you find out how boring that is awfully quick. 2005's The Day After tapped out the hitmaking formula of having Twista play the slick-talking straight man to cartoonish horndogs, and now Adrenaline Rush 2007 has the unenviable task of reintroducing his hardcore hustle to listeners who've likely never heard one song he's done entirely by himself.
