it's gonna be a hot album for sure. We shot a video for "Pimp Like Me" a little over a week ago and the video turned out hot and we definitely got some love from Chi-Town cats and you'll see some of them like Sean Mac, Minister Seamore, and the track's producer Cuzo in the video too. A lot of people don't realize that makin' a video isn't the easiest thing in the world cuz you gotta be on set for a minute and they just be shootin' hours and hours of video even though they just gonna be usin' a few minutes. This video gonna be hot though and I'll be puttin' it up here for y'all in a little. I got some pictures from the shoot all through the blog so enjoy.
I'm sure y'all know by now, but the homie, Kanye West's, album leaked out and so I just wanna say to everyone out there that don't forget to support your favorite artists. Make sure if you like what you hear that you still go out and support it. Album leaks can be a good or bad thing, so it should be interestin' to see what this leak does for Graduation, but with it bein' Kanye and all, I think he'll be ok. It just isn't cool to see your album get out there like that in the first place though, but I think Kanye's sales won't be all that affected by it.
Artists be puttin' music out there for the fans, but it's important that fans respect the artists too and buy good records. If everyone stops buyin' even the hot records, then artists won't be able to put out any more of them. So make sure if you like the album, you're still goin' out there and buyin' it cuz that's how the next album from that artist is gonna have a chance to come out.
I'm glad y'all were feelin' "Creep Fast" featuring T-Pain and definitely need everyone's support, so get behind the record and get your stations to play it, so we can make this a big record!

Tdot, I'm glad you were feelin' that video for "Give It Up." The video has that different feel to it and has that artistic feel to it, so I'm guessin' you're more of the creative type like myself.
Woah Nelly! I know the video is different, so I can understand if it's not your thing, but definitely appreciate you showin' love for it anyway. I'll have more little freestyles for you comin' up, so definitely be on the lookout for those if you were feelin' that "Crank That" freestyle I did.

Q-York, you commented on thinkin' that Pharrell may have fallen off and I want to make a point that each producer and artist has his time where he's at the top of the game and then after a while, you still be makin' your noise, but you may not be in that number 1 spot necessarily cuz you got different cats that are there now. But Pharrell ain't lost it, the Neptunes still some of the hottest producers in the game and they spent a long time on top and with hip-hop being like it is, they'll probably be in that top spot again soon.
Omen, definitely hope the video get some love on TV. Be sure to call in and show some support big homie!
Reckless, it ain't nothin' for me to put out exclusives for y'all because I got to hold it down for my fans. Without the fans, there'd be no Twista and no one would care about what I was doin', so I gotta make sure I share what I'm doin' with my fans because y'all are the people that care. I can't be puttin' up that much every week though, but you know, I'll do it when I can. Sit tight for the "Pimp Like Me" you gonna like that.
Lost Angel, thanks for keepin' it real and lettin' me know even if you don't like a track. I always like to hear both sides of it for all my work, so that I know what I can change. No worries though the album's gonna be that old Adrenaline Rush/Kamikaze Twista so you'll be feelin' it, trust me!
Erick G. if you thought "Creep Fast" was bananas wait until you hear the entire album. I told y'all I was takin' it back to the Adrenaline Rush feel and so here it is, Adrenaline Rush after all these years. So it may sound a little different, but it's still got that vibe that it did before.
Here's the coverart for ya'll.
Yak OG, you be showin' me love every week, and I really do appreciate that. Thanks for the support fam.
SF, you gonna have to wait for the album to hear the tracks you heard at the listening session, but September 18th is all you have to wait for, so sit tight and you gonna have all the tracks you heard that day and more.
