I support these niggaz and though they so underated and slept on(Speed Knot Mobstas) They keep it real as far as wutz goin on and really can't sell cuz they ain't always bout 26's and ice like tha rest of these clowns but I hope all works out. My nigga Twista (Get A Different Chain) I hate that damn chain. Reminds me of Pharrell skate boarding azz. I know he can do betta, album sales can't b that bad.

Honestly B, who can tell me where else Twista is remotely relevant outside Chicago? …I though so, don’t get me wrong son is nice, but he’s no record executive nigga. Didn’t this nigga have he’s own corny ass label before the ROC signed him? And when did he go platinum again? You damn right he had other cats calling shots for him, deciding what beats to rock & who to roc with,…Listen being a record exec ain’t a walk in the park. This is the problem with the industry now; you have Mc’s trying to be Record Execs & Execs trying to be Mc’s. Everybody wants that quick gwap, who’s purely just an artist now? Man honestly Twista shouldn’t expect a buck from me…
And as far az Rahzel goes, son is a legend he will go down in history (if he’s no already), I will copp his work heavy, fuck what you heard,…I can’t wait for this joint.

thats good to hear, but i dont expect much out of it twista is so underrated when he is one of the most lyrical and nastiest on the mic in my opinion, hope he can manage a label
