Editorial Reviews

Twista silenced the critics with his 2004 release Kamikaze, which on the strength of Slow Jamz and followup scorcher Overnight Celebrity, moved 2 million units. Riding high, Twista rang in 2005 with The Day After, his 4th album on Atlantic Records. In 2006, Twista’s collaboration with Kanye West stole the show on the Mission Impossible III soundtrack. Now after a full decade of global prominence, Twista is unleashing album 10 years in the making: Adrenaline Rush 2007. Make no mistake, 2007 is a statement piece. It provides the canvas for Twista’s broad musical palate, born of his mature understanding of, and dedication to, hip-hop. Adrenaline Rush 2007 spans the gap aptly, ranging from the requisite radio fare to unexpectedly sinister, savage spit-fests Trappers’ Delight with Jazze Pha and Cee-Lo is an overt nod to the seminal Sugarhill Gang single of 1979. Its playful melody smacks of the essence of Slow Jamz. Lead single Give It Up pairs Twista with Pharrell; set to Skateboard P’s uniquely whimsical production, the two woo women of all colors. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

2.0 out of 5 stars More Of The Same, September 19, 2007

This review is from: Adrenaline Rush 2007 (Audio CD)

Twista came out in Chicago in the early 90's with several interesting albums including Adrenaline Rush from 1997, which is the reason why this album is named like it is. Twista remarkably fast flow was listed in Guinness Book of Records as the fastest in the world, a record he later lost but in mainstream he is still the fastest rapper and it works excellent for funny cameos on other artists albums and that's what he's mostly famous for. However, in 2003 Twista appeared on Kanye Wests's #1 single "Slow Jamz" and completely stole the show with his rapid tongue delivery, West also produced another song for Twista called "Overnight Celebrity" #6 and when his album Kamikaze was released that year there was more interest for Twista then ever before, he also appeared on songs by R. Kelly, Faith Evans and Anthony Hamilton and Twista had successfully became integrated into the A list of Rap artists. Personally I think he works best with commercial Hip Hop songs with alot of swagger, not so much the darker hardcore songs. In the recent few years I heard a bit less of him and his album The Day After wasn't too hot, but his work on Bone Thug-n-Harmony's album was good and he'll be touring with them aswell. My expectations on "Adrenaline Rush 2007" would be more hit potential, hopefully some really good productions to make that possible. How does this one measure up? Read on to find out.

This album got everything I was hoping it wouldn't have. That is the usual annoying songs from mainstream Hip Hop these days. Plenty of songs about his "street credability" (No Pistols, I Aint That N*gga, Seven Day Hustle, Charged, Trouble) Women songs with very explicit lyrics (Say, Say, Pimp Like Me, Love Rehab with R. Kelly) Club songs like (Wrist Stay Rocky, Whip Game with Lil Wayne and Creep with T-Pain) The R. Kelly doesn't sound like everything else here but, but it sounds like something better suited for his last album cause Twista sound more like a guest artist then everything else. On the "Come Out" Twista's voice was slowed down and he's rapping in slow motion, diffrent but not too cool. The same tecnique is used on Whip Game and Wrist Stay Rocky but only as the hook. The Neptunes song "Give It Up" is b-grade club song and sound like the typical lazy Neptune song these days. The standout is however "Ain't No Hoes" with really strong smooth production and Bone Thugs-n-Harmony appearing, it reminds me of a song from their last album Strength & Loyalty called "C-Town". It's about not messing with them.

Overall, We get more of the same and it ends up sounding like almost every other Hip Hop album these days, without a real album concept, no vision and more of the usual themes (streets, women, clubs). I'm also dissapointed at the production that I find quite boring. Very Few hits singles for radio actually but instead we get some bad collaborations with R. Kelly, Lil Wayne and T-Pain (only Snoop was missing to make this a perfect 10!) Some songs sound like 1993 others with that annoying slow down voice and far too many explicit songs dealing with the usual stuff. Don't get me wrong I like Twista and for that reason I was hoping for something better cause he's one of a kind and deserved a better fortune that he got. Unfortunately this isn't the case with this album and I would only recommend it to die hard Twista fans.

1.0 out of 5 stars Worst Twista Album to Date, September 25, 2007

Scottie Bon "ScottieBon" (Indiana, United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Adrenaline Rush 2007 (Audio CD)

Time and time again....it almost seems that success kills the musical passion for something better. This sounds like any other club music out today. Nothing original here. More of the same. I was really disappointed with the last one, but this is even worse. Twista really had my hopes up with the Adrenaline Rush title to the album and everything. I thought he might just come back with something special, but it turns out to be just more of the same sounding radio junk. Maybe cool to play in the club, but nothing I want to listen to in my spare time.

For the youngsters or people who are new to Twista; go get the original Adrenaline Rush, it's a straight classic.

2.0 out of 5 stars The Day After 2007 (2 and 1/2 stars), October 28, 2007

By 

Nuisance "the rebel" (Miami) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Adrenaline Rush 2007 (Audio CD)

Let me start off by saying that Twista's potential to be something great surfaced when he came out with Adrenaline Rush. Adrenaline Rush was a classic but the quality of his albums started to decline starting with Kamikaze. The Day After was garbage and now we're here. This album sounds like Kamikaze and The Day After copulated and had a premature baby by the name of Adrenaline Rush 2007. For starters the production is most handled by Toxic, whose production can only be described as predictable.

The Good: Aint No Hoes featuring Layzie Bone and Krayzie Bone is the best song on the album period. I Aint That N**** is somewhat like the old school Twista and Charged was an okay album starter. Creep Fast is cool and even though Im not fond of T-Pain, he did that hook some justice. Love Rehab feat R Kelly is the type of joint that Double Up should have sounded like. It consists of Twista busting some decent verses for that significant other while R Kelly sings his heart out.Trouble is an average joint but its better than most of the other songs Im about to mention.

The Bad: The first single, Give It Up feat Pharell is catchy but its forgettable and Pharell's awful verse partly why. Say Say(feat Jazze Pha and Big Zak) is yawn-inducing. Speed Knot Mobstaz are getting worse and it shows in No Pistols and The Come Up is a boring screwed song with a chessy wannabe exotic. The skits are stupid attempts to recreate the original skits off Adrenaline Rush.

The Ugly: Whip Game Proper(feat Lil Wayne) sucks off that Lil Wayne mixtape I heard it off of and its sucks now plus that beat sounds like they jacked an ice cream truck. Seven Day Hustle is corny and the sampling of The Shirrells is grating and the Galaga sounding Wrist Stay Rocky is the obligatory ode to ice that fails miserably. Pimp Like Me is humorously bad and sounds like an electronic dance record gone wrong.
Bottom Line: Twista's Adrenaline Rush 2007 is another dud by a rapper who is capable of much better work. The production was bland, the guests(with the exceptions of Cee-Lo, T-Pain and Bone Thugs N Harmony)were weak and Twista sounded like he was bored most of the time. To call a lukewarm album Adrenaline Rush 2007 as if it was a continuation of Adrenaline Rush when its really a continuation of The Day After is a slap in the face to anybody who remembered how great Adrenaline Rush was. Twista's hunger ended with Kamikaze. Let's face it, Twista doesnt have what it takes to make a good album anymore.
