Released nearly five years after his last album and promoted by the rapper since 2001, Kamikaze finally dropped in one of the least popular months for music buying, January. In the single format he comes off as impressive and skilled, but once you get 65 minutes of him he loses almost all of his appeal.To say that motor-mouthed Twista and producer Toxic took their time getting Kamikaze out is an understatement. If the rise of legal file sharing continues and the supposed death of the album format is actually in progress (good lord I hope not), Twista will be a lucky man. Twista should really be trying to maintain a career on the basis of his ability to make a great guest appearance. Singing about women's asses, but most of the performances are dull You'd miss the guests I suppose, and it's good to hear R. Thug (a really unfortunate act pulled out on the saccharine, clichГ©d 'Hope'ДЄs well). Heard the entire album-violence and misogyny tempered with a dose of the sensitive Me to murder you.' Once you get past 'Overnight Celebrity' you've basically It clear on 'Kill us All' that the basic idea here is that Twista will, 'murder The album starts out 808 blaring with a pair of ridiculous tracks, making While his production certainly exceeds that of Toxic, who was behind most of the rest of the album, it still isn't particularly interesting. Kanye produces two tracks on the album beyond 'Slow Jamz,' 'One Last Time' and 'Overnight Celebrity' (and yeah, the chipmunks come hard on the latter too). After a few tracks the basic idea is clear: Twista raps his ass off in either a non-sensical or repetitive style over a beat that sounds like it was taken off any rap album made in LA circa 1992. I find it surprising he's even made to a 4th album because he simply can't support the album format. Purpose he should be allowed to serve on records - the guest on the single. Outshined by Kanye West's one-liners and production, but he served the only Jamz,' knows what he's doing when it comes to speed rapping. Twista, as witnessed by the radio-played-like-a-dead-horse-being-flogged 'Slow 'a faint good idea with a lot of useless crap,' seemed especially appropriate. Rating guidelines to figure out where exactly Kamikaze fits, the phrase This is not to say Twista doesn't have skills. Truth is, Kamikaze neither tries to transcend the material nor manages to present traditional ideas in anything approaching an original manner. There have certainly been plenty of godawful records that fail mostly because their enlightened social message overwhelms delivery. There have been some great rap albums that don't deal with much more than this, but at least manage to present the material well, either through the rappers or producers. And no, the song about rims doesn't save it. What the fuck does he know about hip hop culture?' Sure I'm an indie snob, but just cause an album has three songs about the joys of the female ass doesn't make it representative of hip hop culture and doesn't mean it isn't a pointless album. Perhaps the best part, that particular gem is drawn from a song titled 'Badunkadunk.' Litter Kamikaze, the forth album from Chicago speed-rapper Twista. Impressive ability, this serves as just one of many such moronic lines that Now while I won't argue that this ass-shaking is an How she make the other cheek move fast/looka how she switch, make the otherД¬heek move.' Oh yeah.

Where I tend to stop listening is, 'looka how she makes one butt cheek freeze/looka Than anything off the last Death Cab album. The Walkmen's 'The Rat' seems to have about 3 lines, but itД¬ombines driving instrumentation and wailed emotion to an effect far greater Isn't even a prerequisite for enjoyment, just some level of proficiency and Take a Silver Jews album over anything on the radio. I don't require poetry, though I'd certainly Perhaps you're right(I certainly wouldn't put it past me), but there are aДЇew things I tend to demand in music. 'Maybe's he's just being a pretentious fuck,' you're thinking.
