Twista had an album out before this called "Runnin Off At Da Mouth," but on that, he was all about rappin as fast as he could. On this album, he steps up his lyrics AND flow to the perfect level. He enunciates so well that you can understand almost every word he says, even when he's rapping at his fastest. On the title track, Twista is just downright amazing. In fact, it would've been better if he were on this track alone, just tearin it up for 4 minutes. "Overdose" has a slow, almost lethargical, yet eerie beat. "Mobster's Anthem" has a beat reminiscent of the classic "Nuthin But A G Thang." "It Feels So Good" & "Emotions" are both a nice change of pace. On any other rapper's album, these may sound like 2 sappy tracks, but Twista's flow saves them both, and actually turns them into some nice trax. But the stand-out track on this album is one of my favorite trax of all time, "Unsolved Mystery." Traxster's beat and Twista's signature flow are just undescribably dope on this track. This is in my top 15 trax of ALL TIME. Overall, this album has to be considered a classic. If you're a fan of gangsta rap, fast flows, or even just rap in general, this is a must have.

Twista remains one of the illest mc's to ever breathe into the microphone. His swift flow and knack for harmony is nearly unmatched in the hip hop community. His mic presence is amazing...when he starts rapping you just KNOW it is about to be some straight fiya. Twista's music is both hype and chill at the same time and his ability to tell stories just adds to his catalog. Twista can be listened to in a myriad of moods. His beats bump like none other making this TRUE music that you can ride to. He is BY FAR the best `fast' rapper on the planet. He rhymes so fast yet you can understand each word he says. His multi's are amazing and he rarely ever gets monotonous or boring on the mic. In fact his rhymes are so great that you MUST use the rewind button. He's that good.

Adrenaline Rush was my first introduction to this mighty talent and is one of my top 20 albums in my collection. The beats on this album are nothing but top notch. In the ride....the bump is glorious....crisp and clear sounds from Chicago's Finest. Forget about Common...he's just aight compared to Twista. He even has the music that you can rip through a fine female with. `Feels So Good' is just so PIMP. The beat is slow but the flow is quick. Amazing song. This playalistic feel continues on the cut anthem "Get It Wet", which is another slow bump & grind song that is gangsta enough to ride to. So Ill. The title track has Twista getting everybody hyped with his aggressive flow. Overdose is 4 straight minutes of TRILLNESS. Twista is ripping every song and there is not one weak song on the entire album. Emotions, although it sounds similar to `Po Pimp', is still a great song and rocks the same vibe as that classic. Unsolved Mystery, Death Before Dishonor the list goes on...the album is that fie fie delicious gangsta music that is oh so refreshing.

My review doesn't do this album or this rapper enough justice. This is a diamond in the rough that most people don't have yet because they ain't ready. Ask yourself this question; Are you ready?

Classic! Period! I play the cd from start to finish... I don't skip any tracks 'cause all of 'em hot!

This debut from Twista shows his true skills on the mic and on this album he kept it underground and I like that a lot. The production is great and if you have a system then this will hit hard. The lyrics are on point and his fast rapping makes it that much better but if you can't keep up with him then it is hard to understand him but this album is still worth having. His last two album were a little too bubblegum but this album should be in your collection and also look at the album he did with The Speedknot Mobsta's that is another album worth having.

twista has great rapping skills, lyrics, production, he raps at the right pace and you can tell what he's saying atleast 90% of the time. I like it feels so good, unsolved mysteries, emotions and overdose, the disk is worth it just for those songs. those songs need to be on the radio every day!(even though they're old).

check out other classic cd's like the art of war by bone thugs ~n~ harmony, or if you want mo gangsta get east 1999!
