This was a great time in Hip-Hop.
Twista was gonna sign to Rocafella and even dropped the he had signed to it on a song. It just never happened officially and it fistled out in the end. He could have been bigger bro.
Damn how did I not know this?
I think Overnight Celebrity slightly clears Slow Jamz. Twista was rapping his ass off and the beat is better.
Both classic tho.
Miri Ben-Ari was snapping on the violin
Overnight
Damn how did I not know this?
Important Hip Hop history that most forget about. There's interviews with Dame Dash and interviews with Twista about this.
Found an article from January 2004.
"Twista Rocks NYC, Earns Roc-A-Fella Chain"
"Dame Dash made a surprise appearance at New York club S.O.B.’s during a performance by Chicago native Twista.Dash bestowed upon the rapper a platinum and diamond Roc-A-Fella Records necklace.The performance took place last night (January 21) "

also found a picture but dont know the date of it:
and of course, he drops the line about being signed to Rocafella here with an intro from Dame Dash and a beat from Kanye and a feature, as well as Beanie Sigel and Camron on it. Camron also talks about being signed to the Roc here so Twista and him make this song even crazier as how both deals ended up. Legendary song.
Absolutely it's a Hip Hop nerd take it'll be popular here
ehhh overnight celebrity is really good but its slow jamz
I feel like it shouldn’t be. I agree personally.
