It's another one. Oh, that's right. It's the Sin cast. Yo.
Amazing. Blazary Phasingly tasing these waistfully tightened seats with Revolution 09 right around the last quarter event. I'm feeling giggleish. It was a solid, solidified successful success.
Right now we got none other than Twister with us today, and we plan to take advantage of this by asking him questions like we do from time to time. Twister, what happened? Uh, you know how we do ask him questions. When did you fall in love with hip hop and what was it that made you fall in love with hip hop as far as a record, an event and era hit us?
Oh, man. I first fell in love with hip hop in the early days when hip hop started. So, you know, definitely I was influenced by the Sugar Hill Gang and the Grandma Flashes, but it really didn't start hitting me until the Run DMC era, like the Crush Groove era, when you had Run DMC fight like Fat Boys. Yeah, Dougie Fresh and all that, but not Dickie Fresh.
But yo, Word, how old were you when you wrote your. When I wrote my first rhyme, I was about 13 years old, so. 13 years old, but I'm sure you were spitting off the top for many years prior. Right?
Right. Yes. Word, were you always an MC or did you DJ, paint dance? I mostly was MCing.
Like the only time I got was in the dancing is when the break dancing and pop, like it was real heavy. So I used to break a little bit and pop a little bit. That's about it. From that point with shit to hip hop.
What is your favorite five year block in the history of hip hop? Probably from. From 88 for the next five years. That's actually my favorite too.
How did the insanely fast rapping come about? It actually came about with me saying, you know what, I got the metaphors down pat. I'm killing them in the battles in the street. I want to do something different because I'm pretty good with the rhythm.
So I think I want to change the style up and like rapping certain patterns and things like that so I can make myself have style and not just lyrics. So the whole twisted thing came about first for me, wanting to do different styles. The very first time that you heard yourself on the radio or that you got the call from someone like friend or family member that had heard you on the radio, I can't remember exactly what went down, but it definitely was a while back around about when I was maybe 16, 17 years old. I had to hook up with a few radio stations and a few conversation, and I was with the homies with the crew, and we heard the music.
What about the very first time one of your videos was featured on YT Raps? In fact, it was Mr. Tong twisted. Were you watching?
Yeah, definitely, I was watching. And then when I finally went to go get on yo TV raps, it was Dr. Dream was actually. Yeah, I was actually watching that episode too.
When they played Mr. Tongue Twisted and I was like, what? Uh, oh, time to change the diet. That's crazy.
I had a knapsack on my head and everything. It was like. On your first record, who were you talking about when you said I'm speaking? Who was that?
Uh, I don't know. Yeah, I guess I shouldn't expect you to recognize that. I used to rap along with that record, man. I love that joint.
Anyway, here, we'll play a little sniffle from your record. So you know what I was trying to ask? See what I'm saying? So you know what I'm talking about now?
Yeah. Cool, cool. So who is it that you were talking about in that part of the song? Oh, there was a guy back in the days that I used to battle, and his rap name was Aztec.
We used to just coordinate each other hard. I was beaten to Islam at the time, and I was just born in on telling him what he is and find out later on I was kind of incorrect. What is cool, though? Word, dude, that's dope that you'll actually say, yeah, I was wrong about that because most of us wouldn't know one way or the other.
That's integrity. Gotta respect the integrity. Right now I'm gonna jump into a joint off my man Braille's album Shades of Gray. Repetition.
And now a message from Jeremiah Bonds. My favorite MC of all time is Rockham producer, probably Dr. Dre. This is a good one.
This is a good one. I'm gonna probably have to say Jazzy Jeff and his producer. I definitely. That's the first one that comes to my mind.
Just the one. Jeff. Jeff. Nice big party.
On tv. I would have said Dave Chappelle, but it's not on TV no more. I still. Saturday Night Live, man.
Respect. I know. I'm trying to figure what. I know a little bit.
Something about Get a minute, the shield. Let's play some bills, play some gemstones, and we'll pick up right here where we left off. You work hard. It's been a long day.
And your hands are dry and calloused. You want something to keep your skin healthy, but all you can find are bottles that reek of raspberries and cucumber melon. We understand. That's why we've developed man lotion.
Man lotion? No fruits, aloe, moisturizing beads, or any of that nonsense. Man lotion is a practical combination of motor oil, gunpowder, finely shredded leather, and pork chops. The days of applying hand lotion when nobody's looking are over.
Slam that bottle down on the table and slather it on because you're a man. Man lotion is how can weight blinds or fighting canceling the hands on this is the syntax. Ah, yeah. This is my summertime ease back lemonade sip and tight joint right here.
You must have faith, you must have home but the greatest, greatest is love. Love, yeah. You must have faith, you must have the greatest gift the greatest gift is love. To do.
The loving marinating on your. Back in the day when I was young I'm not. Yo, what's up, y'? All.
This is Ahmad. You're listening to the Sin cast. Don't touch the Dao. We're back with the one and only Twister Twist.
Do you think the changes in this industry have been good or bad for artists? And why? Both good and bad? Yeah, the reason I say both is because the things that are happening good are things like with the Internet, where you're able to promote yourself on YouTube, Foxbase, all this stuff like that.
When you have to wait in line to get a video playing, you can put a video on whenever you feel like it. I can go from it. Word. I feel you.
It's like it's the value in the music, right? Yeah. It's over there to the point where the music is almost for free and you almost gotta just put it out there and figure out how you can make money a while with promotion of your music. Of your music.
What's your favorite album and why? And what's your favorite track and why? Okay. My favorite album I've ever done is Adrenaline Rush.
The favorite track I ever done is Adrenaline Rush. Adrian Rush is the first album that solidifies of the two FC and brought the type of light to the midwest that I wanted to bring. And the reason the trilogy was my favorite record is because the first record on my album, I got to do it with my buddy Youngbuck who worked at the other dopest MC on the west side of Chicago at the time. And it's just like considering one of the classics by a lot of my peers in the industry right now.
That's what I'm saying, how many guest spots do you think you've done up there? Between 3 and 500. Yeah, I didn't actually think you'd be able to answer that. That's on Mailbox Money, am I right?
Yeah, it's up there. It's definitely up there. So will there be any further collabs between you and tech9ine? Yeah, the funniest part about it, I laid my verse to Tech9ine's record that I had to do with him two days ago.
Any MCs, producers, DJs that you love to work with but you haven't had a chance to work with yet? Definitely, I would love to get in the studio and work on Beast or MCN with Eminem. That could be fresh. That could be fresh.
Is there anybody else also? J Kiss, too. All right, all right. Anybody else?
Anybody else besides those two right on top? It's a lot of them. Let me pick one. Yeah.
Y. Can you pinpoint the key to your success and your longevity in this industry? The key to my success is their, hands down, the fact that I'm actually a true real MC who loves music to the point where no matter how much it changes, I will do anything to still be a part of it. Because I love you that much.
Word. Favorite artist or album that your fans would be surprised to hear. You're a fan of the blues singer with the glass, Eric Clapton. No doubt.
You Got me on My knees. Layla. Eric Clapper. That's a good one.
Word. He's fresh. You have any plans beyond writing, recording and performing? Like as far as in the future behind the big screens and the big scenes?
I actually love music, man. There's not too many things I'm really into. Y' all probably start a few businesses and things like that when it comes to financial thing, but it's why music is to take young guys that's trying to get into this game at school. And whether it's in the studio or whether it's paying for the business or whether it's just how to handle yourself, you know, from a day to day year to your basis when it comes to being in the music industry.
What's next for you in the immediate future? The new record definitely coming out on June 16th category of. But with the new record, it's probably become a new big diamond charm. And nine times out of 10, a new car with a new color that nobody else got.
When history looks back at you, Twist of the artist. How would you like to be remembered? I would like to be remembered as the artist who bridged the gap between the industry and the midwest. Also the artist who done it the longest.
Make sure be aware you said it as a James Brown rap. Not all the other stuff though, you know, the whooping on the chick and all that. Not all other stuff, just the music word. That's not actually too much, right?
Let's jump into a couple softball steamers. Kids spend their whole life pop expensive shortcut and more cut and got consequences Take for instance the dude that's unfaithful the one that can't wait to bow break and eat cake too. The breakthrough daddy had a wife when he cheated the first wife was treated second one's greeted with open arms and they both agreed it they should have a kid and when she dropped deceit changing me even though kid would have cheated but again God wanted went unheeded he fooled around, she fooled around since pools of busting in that pool they drowned the sun that they love so much but not a bunch of sex man just a dust frustrated she ended all that with a knife slice of dice but my only reply that's right. Smile.

If you had to give someone the recipe for Twister, what would the ingredients be? And I'm talking, like, what food ingredient best represents Twister? It'll definitely be hot. It'll probably be some hot Mexican food, man.
It'll definitely be something very hot on the Mexican side. Some jalapeno pepper. Yeah, yeah. Jalapeno pepper.
