Twista grew up in the K-Town area on the west side of Chicago. He started rapping at the age of 12. However, before starting his professional career, he worked at several other jobs including working at a factory, selling shoes, working at McDonald's, working as a security guard, and even cutting hair.
Twista was one of the first artists to sign with Loud Records. In 1991, he released Runnin' off at da Mouth under the name of Tung Twista. Due to his rapid-fire pace of delivery, he was listed in the Guinness Book of Records as the world's fastest rapper. Despite this recognition, the album achieved little success. Tung Twista dropped the "Tung" off of his name in his second album Resurrection, which was never released outside of Chicago's underground.
In 1996, he teamed with fellow Chicago act "Do or Die" on the track "Po' Pimp" leading to a contract with Atlantic Records. He released Adrenaline Rush in 1997 followed by Mobstability in 1998. Twista then formed his own Legit Ballin' label which has released two compilation albums Legit Ballin' in 1999 and Legit Ballin' Vol. 2: Street Scriptures in 2001. The label later released Respect The Game,Vol. 3 in 2002 and Volume 4: Tha Truth in 2006.
Twista developed a good reputation in rap circles leading to work with Mariah Carey, P. Diddy (then Puff Daddy),Lil kim, Drag-on, Jay-Z, Timbaland, Ras Kass, Ludacris, Royce Da 5'9", Shaquille O'Neal, and Da Brat. However, it would take him until 2004 to achieve a platinum, number-one record under his own name.
On his website, Twista stated that he made Kamikaze to show that he was still true to the ideals that he had when he started out. "I represent for the MCs that have skills, not just make music for the hell of it. I take the time to concentrate. Otherwise, I could have 10 albums out there, easy. I could sit down all day and write something. But I write when I get in a zone more than writing because I’ve got to do this. I represent the artists that keep it true to what really is, to be able to make rappers want to write."
"I want to show the streets that I’m back and that I’m true to the game. Musically, I want to show that I’m still out here doing my thing. After all the people that were out when I was out years ago fell off, I’m still out here competing with the shorties. I also want to gain platinum success. It’s something that I haven’t done."
The first single, "Slow Jamz", featured Kanye West and Jamie Foxx. It topped the Billboard Hot 100 and world R&B charts in early 2004, and eventually reached number 3 on the UK singles charts. Kamikaze built on the success of "Slow Jamz" to reach the top of the Billboard 200 album chart upon its release in January 2004 and went platinum by March 2004. The second single, "Overnight Celebrity", became another top 10 Hot 100 hit and a UK top 40 entry, while the third, "So Sexy" (featuring R. Kelly), made the top 40 of the Hot 100. In the UK, the album track "Sunshine", which featured R&B singer Anthony Hamilton and lifted its chorus from Bill Withers' "Lovely Day", was extracted as a third single and became a big hit; this track received comparatively little exposure in the U.S., perhaps because rapper Lil' Flip had a huge hit there at the same time with a different song of the same title.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Mean difference of ways still I can light you like an arsonist
Put my heart in this particularly funny when we start to kiss marvelous
How I see you in the cut chillin' with your homies gettin' fucked up
I got fantasies of you carrying me home
I hope you stayin'alone I'm into givin' pleasure
Echoin' rhythms of my manly moans
Don't be playin' me wrong I'm too grown for games,
'Cause you see I don't be really quite comin' on the same
Boldly and bodily fluids with every word that 'curs
Girl you deserve some herb and company to be with,
Fuck whoever you were gonna leave with I'm the one you should see shit,

Stick through the sheets are your arms and see don't be alarmed

The opening verses of Twista's song "Get It Wet" express the artist's love and desire for a girl he's been seeing. He imagines carrying her home and giving her pleasure, asserting that he's too old for games and manipulation. He promises to make her feel good all over and that he's able to learn and experiment to find what really turns her on. He acknowledges that she may be hesitant, but expresses confidence that she wants him and that he's the one who can "get it wet."
Throughout the rest of the song, Twista continues to make his case, incorporating fast-paced rhymes and clever wordplay. He raps about wanting to pleasure her, saturating her body with honey, and exploring every inch of her. He also references previous experiences with other girls and dismisses them in favor of his current flame. The chorus serves as a repeated invitation to the object of his affection to let him "get it wet," and he promises to make her feel true love and affection if she gives in.
Overall, "Get It Wet" is a sexually charged song that speaks to the insistent, confident tone of many R&B and hip-hop tracks. At the same time, it emphasizes the importance of listening to and learning from one's partner in order to offer the best possible experience.
