Honestly, as a long term fan of Twista's, I considered this CD to be a bit of an under achievement to himself as well as his fans. Although there were a few interesting tracks on
the album, the majority of the CD was exceedingly dull. In addition to that, Twista is still one of the top rappers alive no doubt, but this album was not at all usual for him.
When compared to his previous multi-platinum CDs such as "Adrenaline Rush" and "Kamikaze," this was indeed his poorest output. It showed very little of Twista's outstanding rapping ability.
Primarily, compared to his solo debut album "Adrenaline Rush" released in 1997, his latest CD is almost the opposite. On "Adrenaline Rush" he seemed to be more focused and serious, while still including some lyrical word play, whereas his most recent CD seemed to be a less intensified approach from him rather than the usual level of forcefulness he comes with. His first album had passionate tracks such as "Adrenaline Rush," "Death before Dishonor," and lastly "Emotions."
Secondly, comparing this album to his second most recent album "Kamikaze," makes fans wish the "The Day After" would have never come forward. Nearly every track on the "Kamikaze" was a hit, even the singles that were played on the radio proved so. Just to be certain do the math, match Twista's first single from "Kamikaze" called "Slow Jams" featuring Jamie Foxx and Kanye West to the first single of the new CD called "Girl Tonight" featuring Trey Songs. Which one received more radio play?? Exactly, "Slow Jams" obtained more radio play and assisted his CDs sales.
In conclusion, Twista is still one of the best rappers in this day, but this day after was not at all worth-wild to his fans and it did not show the genius of Twista's lyrical style. Unarguably, this was his worst album.
ALL ADMIT, EVEN THOU THIS CD IS STILL TIGHT, IT'S NOT AS GOOD AS HIS OTHERS. HE DOESN'T COME WITH THAT FLAME OF ADRENALINE RUSH, HE PROBABLY HAS ABOUT 3 HARDCORE TRACKS, AND THE REST IS FOR THE LADIES, AND THERE'S NOTHIN WRONG WITH THAT. BUT I'M JUST USE TO THAT FIRE HE SPIT ON ADRENALINE RUSH.
I love Twista. His rapid-fire style is fresh and just plain awsome. He has a great appeal and knows how to keep his listeners entertained. Heres a play by play of his latest and greatest CD yet.
1. Day After (Feat. Syleena Johnson) - 4/5 - Kind of an intro, letting us know that Twista is back with a vengence...get ready to kick @$$
2. Check That H** - 5/5 - Great song, not as awsome as KIll Em All from Kamakazi, but it's still dope
3. Chocolate Fe's and Redbones (Feat. Johnny P) - 3/5 - Not a big fan of this track, I kinda skip it. It's a song for the ladies, which isn't bad by any means, it's just not as dope as his otha lady ballads
4. Get It How You Live - 5/5 - Great, great, great song about rising up in the world of hip/hop...hustin and all that it takes to get to the top
5. Lavish (Feat. Pharell) - 5/5 - One of the better lady lovin' songs...not the best, but maybe second best
6. Girl Tonite (Feat. Trey Songz) - 4/5 - This song got dissed by a lot of Twista fans as too comercial, and while it is it's not any more commercial than, oh should I mention 'Overnight Celebrity' which is the worst Twista song EVER
7. Do Wrong (Feat. Lil' Kim) - 10/5 - OH MY GOD, It's the queen bee and the hip/hop King at it again. Everytime Twista and Lil' Kim colabe you just know it'll be off the chain and here it is, their best colabo yet. I love K.I.M...you know, gotta represent Broklyn even though I'm stuck here in TX now...my heart's still up north
8. Heartbeat - 4/5 - All right, not to hot, but then again, not too bad neither
9. Holding Down the Game - 4/5 - same as last one
10. When I Get You Home (A.I.O.U.) (Feat Jamie Foxx and Pharell) - 5/5 - Good song, nive lady lovin' beat and Jamie Foxx is tight here
11. So Lonely (Feat. Mariah Carey) - 2000000/5 - MY FAVORITE TWISTA SONG EVER AND THE BEST LADY LOVIN' SONG TO EVER BE MADE. I love Mariah, but she hit a slump a few years back, but lately she has rose to the top of her game and she is just ON FIRE!!! And so is Twista on this INSTANT hit...
12. Had to Call (Feat Snoop Dogg and Sleepy Eyed Jones) - 5/5 - Anything Snoop Touches is golden, and so is this song
13. Out Here (Feat. Juvenile and SpeedKnot Mobstaz) - 4/5 - This has the dopest beat of all the songs on the LP, and if it weren't for Juvie F@#$ing things up, well this may have been one of favorite songs..I just can't stand Juvie and he ruins this song for me
14. I'm a Winner - 5/5 - YES YOU ARE...I sing this to my wife and it's actually my ringtone for when she calls...GREAT GRIND ON SONG
15. Hit the Floor (Feat. PitBull) - Fans dogged this song...not sure why. I like it alot. I blast this song in the car. Pitbull has better rymes than Twista on this song in actuallity. Has a very Ying Yang Twins vibe to it. I love it.
So there you have it...Twista's latest, and greatest CD EVER...He's a rap god so buy this CD and be very very happy you did!
I'm from the Chi and Twista is one of my favorite rappers of all time. Every since I first heard Adrenaline Rush back in '97, I've been a die hard fan and I've been waiting for him to blow up every since. I was glad when Roc-a-Fella signed him. I must have bumped Champions a hundred times that summer. While I was happy he'd finally made it, I knew it would come at a sacrifice. He's not rapping like the same Twista from back in the day. Don't get me wrong, he still has the skills. We see evidence of it in songs like Check That Hoe and Heartbeat, but the rest of it sort of falls flat. I'm waiting for another album where we get 10 to 13 tracks of fire, like Overdose, Adrenaline Rush, and Mobster's Anthem. Come on Twista, get back to the mobster pimp s*!t we fell in love with and show them how we do in the Chi.
If I told you I could have seen this album coming I would be telling you a lie. Adrenaline Rush was a classic,Mobstability was almost perfect and Kamikaze was a flawed but good album. So what happened here? Twista obviously rushed this album after the success of Kamikaze. The Good: Check That Hoe reminds you of the hungry Twista of the Adrenaline Rush days as he rips it over an eerie but dope beat. Twista teams up with Pharrell on Lavish and I know it sounds hard for a lot of you to believe but Pharrell's verse was sick! Lil Kim FLOORED Twista on Do Wrong where they both talk about cheating over the old Al Green sample Love And Happiness. When I Get You Home featuring Jamie Foxx is an alright song for the ladies and Heartbeat is not bad also. The Bad: The Day After is horrible song to kick off the album with and as much as I like Syleena Johnson, she does not complement that song at all! Get It How You Live will cure you of insomnia as Twista raps normal over a decent beat by Scott Storch and So Lonely(featuring Mariah Carey) is a lukewarm song for the ladies. The Ugly: Chocolate Fe's and Redbones is an awful song for the ladies over a terrible beat but as bad as it is its not worser than Girl Tonite featuring Trey Songz. Why does the song blow? The horrific lyrics by Twista, the frightening and confusing chorus by Trey Songz and who in their right minds samples Ready For The World? As a matter of fact Jarule's Mesmerized, Jadakiss' U Make Me Wanna and Sheek's One Name are all distant memories in comparison to Girl Tonite. Holding Down The Game sucks and so does the depressing Had To Call(featuring Fiend and Snoop). Out Here is hot garbage and Juvenile made it worser than it had to be with the worst verse of his rap career. Im A Winner, which poorly uses R Kelly's One Me as a sample is tied up with Girl Tonite as the worst song for the ladies and Hit The Floor which features Pitbull will clear any dance floor with the quickness(yes its that garbage). Bottom Line: The Day After is Twista's worst album period! too many songs for the ladies, weak street anthems and he makes more references to backshots than Dmx said s*** my d*** on Grand Champ. If You didnt by this album based off Girl Tonite, you did the right thing. Pat yourself on the back because you dodged one hell of a bullet!
