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 Iβve 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 Iβm back and that Iβm true to the game. Musically, I want to show that Iβm still out here doing my thing. After all the people that were out when I was out years ago fell off, Iβm still out here competing with the shorties. I also want to gain platinum success. Itβs something that I havenβt 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.

Make a Movie
Twista Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I got a new one for ya
Lets make a movie baby
Twista got cars
Big swagger
I'm a rock star like Mick Jagger
And I got bars that I spit faster
So let me take you on a ride
On a journey with the one that you call daddy
Who gon' make you giddy with
But this time we gon' do something romantic and different
I'll take you for battle when we get on the movie stage
I was thinking that we could just make a sex tape
Plus I think yo face cute when its a HD
Maybe I could tape you and you could tape me
When I pull my h2 up to your h3
You look like you want to be in this movie
So don't be acting like a trippin' with a stranger mission (stranger mission)
Recording you while you lovin' me down below
Switching the camera angle when we change positions
You could be the director aiming the camera down at me
Feeling me licking and do you say cuh
Ready for any footage you wanna get
I got call nobody 'cause
I do my own stunts
Its the X rated version of a box office hit
I see you ready to strip for this
So let me get the music in, get the tape in, get the cameras in (oh oh oh ohh)
Baby we don't need no script for this
I'ma throw a couple thousand baby strip for this
Let me pull my camera out and make a movie yeah
Starring you and me yeah
Baby we don't need no actresses
Let me see what I'm workin' with, I'ma break your back with this
Let me pull my camera out lets make a movie yeah
Starring you and me yeah yeah, girl
Shanty we gon' make a movie
Got me lovin' it when I'm feelin' on the booty
Especially when I can blame it on the alcohol
'Cause it do some thing to me
She looks better than any chick in my perimeter
Sexier, wish I could film every bit of her
Kissing right down to her stomach and then I'ma
Tell her we could be in Russian cinema
I let you hold the camera first and then I hold it then
'Cause I wanna see how its coming out and goin' in
Let you see such a freakin' me, I hope to step on your team this is fifty world star or CNN
Baby girl you kick the world off the axis
I'm no director, filming you for practice
And you know I think you a hell of a actress
Especially when I'm shooting you on a mattress
Shanty straight to the top that's where we headed
And I'ma see my name in the credits
And be the shit if you let it
See somethin' that you not really feelin
Then we can always go back and make an edit
I'll be sippin' on patron platinum
She knew about the rapping
But didn't know I'd be on acting
Our personal reality show
So there, get the tape in, get the cameras in (oh oh oh ohh)
Baby we don't need no script for this
I'ma throw a couple thousand baby strip for this
Let me pull my camera out and make a movie yeah
Starring you and me yeah

The song "Make a Movie" by Twista featuring Chris Brown is a sexually charged track with the artists talking about creating their own adult film. The duo wants to take their sexual encounters to the next level and turn it into a cinematic experience. The first verse begins with Twista bragging about his cars, swagger, and bars, while Chris Brown intros with his smooth vocals. They both then explain that they want to make a movie from their sex tape. Twista raps about wanting to be romantic with Chris Brown and take her on a journey. He then proposes that they film a sex tape, but in a romantic, different way. Chris Brown is on-board and takes control of the camera by switching angles while they switch positions. They both explain that they don't need any actresses and they can make a hit movie together just by themselves.
The chorus repeats throughout the song and is about them getting the cameras, music, and tape in the right places to make their movie. The second verse begins with Chris Brown singing about Shanty and how he loves to feel on her booty. He talks about how he wants to film every bit of her because she's sexier than any girl in his area. He then talks about holding the camera and playing with angles to see how everything is going in and coming out. Chris Brown suggests that they could make it into a personal reality show, and if they don't like something, they can make an edit. In the end, they both suggest they don't need any director, just their own creativity to make a hit movie.
