So that is why this cd is receiving such a low score, because to release a greatest hits cd, you need to have hits and this cd lacks them. Instead, this cd is premature by about 5 years and it shows, as there is a lot of unnecessary filler. I guess that just proves that at the moment, Twista does not have enough material to warrant a greatest hits cd. For all the tracks on this cd, 23, there are just so many bad songs. Add in the fact that the track listing is wrong and we have yet another problem. With all the features on this cd, more than half of them suck and I would never be listen to them if I had a choice. The only good songs are taken from Twista’s solo, “Adrenaline Rush”, and for people who already own that then there is really nothing worth listening to. _To call this a greatest hits cd is an insult.
“In the middle of the night” featuring Eightball and MJG and “Time” featuring UGK provide some decent material with a down south flavor to it. Other classics such as “Po Pimp” featuring Do or Die are on here, but that’s expected as this is a greatest hits cd. The quality on this track isn’t great but Coo Coo Cal matches Twista on this one as they both do that classic rapid fire flow Twista is known for. Another song that’s tight is “Ride Till We Die”įeaturing Coo Coo Cal(?). Only 2 minutes long, both Twista and Da Brat come tight. A big surprise is a track Twista did with Da Brat, “Intro For Unrestricted”. _For all the bad there are a few decent things doing for this cd. Timbaland is also featured on a track, but fortunately he does not rap, and in fact its a decent track. I have never liked 3-6 Mafia and this only helps straighten those thoughts. I would tell you right now how bad these songs suck, but to tell you the truth I didn’t even listen to them. Let’s see, two, once again, two songs featuring everyone’s favorite thug Puff Daddy. And since I’m at it, I might as well tell you about all the other wack guest appearances. Well I don’t mind Busta Rhymes or Jay-Z, but the minute Missy starts to rap, the next track has already begun. Then we are hit with another classic “All My Niggaz”.
Needless to say, she makes this song unbearable. As Sole tries to convince you just hard she really is, taking about killing people, its all done with tight lyrics as Sole delivers clever lyrics as she just repeats the word shit over and over so it rhymes. All I must say is her verse ruins the song as now there are only 2 verses, instead of 3 from the original.
Instead they leave you with a tight verse from Twista, but they also keep Sole’s verse. After that we got “Straight Thuggin” which was taken off Kane & Abel’s album, but Kane nor Able are anywhere to be found on this track. _This cd starts off the same way Twista’s solo, “Adrenaline Rush”, did, with a tight song by the same name. Only if I had known what I was about to get. And if that wasn’t a good warning sign, maybe the fact that no where on the cd is there a name of a record company. But one look at the features on this cd raises some issues, as Puff Daddy, Jay-z, Missy, and Timbaland, to name a few, all grace this cd. Boasting that it has Twista’s greatest hits(ha) and unreleased material, this would surely get any Twista fan’s blood pumping. The tongue twisting master, Twista, is back again with a greatest hits album of sorts. Twista - "Adrenaline Rush 2000 (Greatest Hits)"
