Twista wants to try something new.
The rapid-rhymer from Chicago asked for some assistance writing his raps during an exclusive clip that premiered in Friday’s DX Daily.
“Everything I’ve rapped is something I’ve wrote,” Twista says. “I’m going to have one or two songs where I like what was happening creatively so much that I use the song…That’s something I want to get into more is somebody else writing me some stuff.”
Twista then took a moment – on camera – to ask Do or Die’s AK to write a song for him. The two have been working together extensively– alongside the rest of Do or Die – to complete their forthcoming joint-album, Withdrawal.
“Right in front of ya’ll on Hip Hop motherfuckin’ DX, I’m going to ask AK can he write me a song?” Twista says with a grin.
AK and Twista laugh in the moment but Twista appears to be serious.
“He’s trippin,” AK says before agreeing to do the favor for Twista.

I can dig rapping bt a rapper with a ghost writer,What the fuck happened?
read the article, son said he wanna try something different
its not a big deal at least hes straight up with it. You dont get mad at pop artists or actors who dont write their own tracks or scenes. Twistas been dope.
If you don’t write your own shit, you’re not MC. I don’t care how many rhymes you wrote in your career. If you don’t have the where-with-all to write your own rhyme, then you forfeited your MC title. I don’t wanna watch a fuckin’ ventriloquist show, sorry. That shit is waaaaaaack. The foundation of Hip-Hop is lyrics and expression. You gon’ spit what someone else wrote from their mind and heart? I know he doesn’t care what I think, but I don’t care, I’ll the one Hip-Hop traditionalist that thinks that shit is mad weak. I know, it’s all about money now, blah blah blah, he’s got more money than me, or whatever you groupies are gonna say, but I believe in integrity, imagine that.
THIS REALLY HURTS TO HEAR MY TOP 5 MC say this. I appreciate his honesty but i expect someone writing your shit for a new artist who anit going to here long, but TWISTA is a legend c’mon my guy don’t do this to the fans
