What Happened To Twista?

Rap is by nature, fast rhythm and rhyme. Have you ever wondered who the fastest rapper in the world is? Well, a quick google search of “fastest rapper in the world” reveals a list of the world’s top ten rappers as ranked by Guinness World Records. While the title has over the years been held by: Daddy Freddy, Twista, No Clue, Rebel XD and most recently, Eminem, Twista is considered the most consistent fastest emcee. On average he raps 12 syllables per second.

EM put a bigger attention to fast rap, but Twista and Tech 9 can not be forgotten 💪 but it is cool how Kamikaze albums both for Twista and EM brought them more recognition 😅

[@deshonebonyrowland-ward4552]

The irony is when you're different it can work forever or for a season... Twista's worked for a season... To say he couldn't rap is offensive because he absolutely can... the style of rhyming fast began to slowly fade out and he was basically one of the very few that had that style ... I'm almost sure he could've slowed down but that went against everything he had always done... So he just remained true to himself and realized his time was up... Hopefully he stacked his money etc.. Because when he had it he was everywhere and collabed with legends... Hopefully he's living off the fruits of his labor.

[@bobbyanderson5601]

Dude Twista is still putting out great music. Twista can switch up his speed to his flow.

Favorite album, " Adrenaline Rush". To me one of the best hip hop albums of all time. Favorite songs from Twista are " Overdose", " Unsolved Mysteries", "Adrenaline Rush", " Kill us all" and "No Remorse" and " Charged" to name the few. I like a lot of his harder stuff.
