Kamikaze [Explicit Lyrics]

Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
Seven years have passed since Twista's last solo joint (1997's hood classic, Adrenaline Rush), and that's about three career cycles' worth of evolution in the swiftly moving world of hip-hop. The Chicago speed rapper's managed to do well for himself in the interim, retaining a strong following among the thug-life set and accruing new listeners via judicious appearances on splashy commercial releases like Ludacris's Word of Mouf. The long-delayed Kamikaze plays to both sides of the fan base, presenting a fair mixture of old-school Twista style with enough formulaic stuff thrown in to keep the kids happy. On the "OG" end of things you get tracks like the R. Kelly-produced round-the-way ballad, "So Sexy," and "Pimp On," a player's anthem featuring 8 Ball, Too Short, and the legendary Don "Magic" Juan. But it's the trendier tunes like Kanye West's parody-within-a-parody, "Slow Jamz," and the hustler's anthem, "Higher" (featuring the aforementioned Luda), that make the most noise. --Rebecca Levine

The last good album you'll hear from Twista........2006-09-12

Standout tracks: GET ME, KILL US ALL, ONE LAST TIME(first Kanye West beat that wasnt a sample), HIGHER, ART AND LIFE, HOPE(Ceelo's version is way better than the Faith Evans version!), STILL FEEL SO GOOD, BADUNKADUNK, SNOOPIN, SO SEXY(its okay), FREAKALEEK REMIX(barely made it)etc. Filler: Like a 24(doesnt make any sense), Overnight Celebrity(nice beat but its still a dull record), Slow Jamz(Kanye West's verse made it corny), Drinks(YAWN!), Sunshine(Again YAWN!), Pimp On(mandatory pimp record) and So Sexy chapter 2(this song belongs on an R. Kelly album!). Even though this album is kind of commercial it has enough good songs to make it listenable unlike THE DAY AFTER or The Gay after(as some reviewers call it) which sucks dookie!

Standing up for black Americans.......2006-08-05

I was disappointed with the track "Slow Jamz" which states "got a black skinned friend, looks like Michael Jackson. Got a white skinned friend looks like Michael Jackson." When black Americans were dying in New Orleans, Michael Jackson started to take action but what did Twista do about it? What did Kanye West do about it? Michael Jackson cleared the way for black artists who can now appear on MTV, thanks to Michael Jackson. Twista should show more respect.

This Album is my Favorite Cd from Twista "Kamikaze".......2006-03-23

This is Twista second album where he proves that he is the world's fastest rapper. Twista is the most overated artist from Chicago,Ill. This Album is a 4.5 and Twista is worth 5.0
just cuz he raps mad fast in this s***.

Cop this Cd which is in stores now.

Twista finally getting that money!.......2006-03-10

Ever since his classic "Adrenaline Rush" album, which went gold eventually (I think) fans were eager to get a new solo album from Twista (he did a few compillations with his crew, which weren't bad at all). For some reason, Atlantic Records weren't in a hurry, so Twista kept his name alive by doing a lot of guest appearences on high-profiled artists' albums. And finally, in 2004, his time arived. With the Kanye West produced "Slow Jamz" Twista became a household name and he just blew up, and now he's one of the biggest names in the rap industry (this album went double-platinum!), making millions as he deserves. "Kamikaze" is very different from "Adrenaline Rush". It doesn't have that gangsta-mobb feel to it. It's more of an up-to-days'-standarts album. It's evident that the label wanted it to be much more of a mainstream album. But that doesn't hurt it at all. Musically, the production is flawless: Twista's producer Toxic produces 8 songs (and he does a great job), Jazze Pha, Kanye West, The Legendary Traxter, Lil' Jon (The Freek-a-leek remix) and R. Kelly all contribute some hot beats. The album is more about having fun, more songs about the ladies, sex, living well. However, Twista's lyrics are still better than your avarege mainstream rapper. Twista's lyrics are smarter, sometimes have a bit of humor or even depth in them. And you know he's got that untouchable flow. Indeed, on a few songs he slows it down a bit, but on quite a few songs, Twista is just on fire (check out song #2 "Kill Us All", #11 "Higher" or #16 "Chi-Roc" and you'll see what speed-rapping is all about!). This album features a LOT of big names: R.Kelly, Eightball, Too $hort, Ludacris, T.I., Freeway, Kanye West, Jamie Foxx, Jazze Pha, Memphis Bleek, Jernaine Dupri, Danny Boy Skee-Lo and a few others. They all do a great job, but of course Twista outshines them with ease - it seems that being on a song with another rapper brings the best out of Twista. Anyway, this album made Twista a huge name, and with songs like Slow Jamz, Overnight Celebrity and Hope, Twista menaged to cross over. However I don't feel he sold out, since he still stayed unique, both in terms of music and in terms of lyrics. You still get to hear the harder, or deeper Twista, while enjoying the lighter songs, which feature some great beats, hooks and guest appearences. I'm glad Twista got the reccognition he deserves, because he deinitely paid his dues!

This Kid Crazy!!!!!.......2006-02-27

I love this album one of my favorites from Twista. From "Runnin Off Da Mouth" to "The Day After" this is my favorite. He's one of my favorite albums in the Midwest Rap Game. The best tracks are "Slow Jamz", "Kill Us All", "Overnight Celebrity", "Hope" and "Like A 24".

Happy now?.......2004-07-06

Deke Leonard is as much a national treasure (if I may call a Welshman `national`) as Ian Dury, Richard Thompson or Ronnie Lane. The tracks Hard Way to Live & I Just Can`t Win are rock classics of their kind.
What makes Deke such a vital force in rock is his driving intensity tempered with the irreverent wit always shown by the Man band and its various members and offshoots. He can sing like a man possessed, but he (and Man) are always melodic, witty and brilliant musicians.
Deke should have been more than merely a contender. Hell, he is! Why, the man`s a big hunk o` rock!
Settling in?

This is a great recording. Don't pass this one by!.......2003-09-27

I just finished quite a scathing review for Man's "The Welsh Connection", which I ordered with this one. Unlike that one, this CD has had great care in preparing the recording for CD release. If you like the Man band, do not pass up these two solo albums by Deke Leonard. Recorded when (I think) Man was at their peak. Great writing & tight playing. Even if you've never heard of this guy, I bet you'll like it.

Two great albums. It doesn't get any better than this........2002-01-23

This 2 cd compilation of Deke's first two solo albums truly contains some of the finest music ever recorded! I know that sounds a bit over stated, but over the last 25 years or so since I first bought these albums on vinyl I find myself returning to these albums again and again. The songs are concise little slices of life. I think I can safely say that there is not a second wasted. The music jumps out and grabs you by the throat right from the start and doesn't let go. Deke's guitar playing shimmers, shines and dances around the songs. His solos are short and to the point, not a wasted note to be heard. His lyrics are excellent throught the 2 disks. It takes a real gift to write lyrics like those in "Jesse", "Nothing Is Happening", "Broken Glass And Limejuice" and "April The Third".

Iceberg an all time favorite of mine.......1999-09-19

One of the most brilliant recordings ever! Heard this first on an underground station in B'ham Alabama in about 1974 or 75(maybe even sooner) Have had the "iceberg"lp for all that time but the 8-track of "kamakazi" self destructed many moons ago.I plan on ordering this package and can't wait to hear it on cd. Also check out Deke singing &playing on Man's "Welsh Connection" . I thank "Father Tree" the Birmingham fm dj who turned me on to Deke and so many others who never got their just dues!!!!

intense and relaxing all at once.......1999-02-25

I listened to this only in tape version twenty years ago and have not heard it since but it has stayed in my "jeans all these years" I have to have the cd. I looked for it for years after I wore the cassette out. Life alltime favorite!!! I could use the maximum space allotted for this review but hopefully you willget the message and if this arrives in stock you'll get your copy,too!!!

Naxos' "Music of Japan" Series Hits Paydirt.......2005-07-20

Interesting stuff. As might be expected, Hisato Ohzawa's music is derivative, and as the notes to this recording indicate, the sources of inspiration are different for each work. Piano Concerto No. 3, subtitled "Kamikazi," celebrates a fast Japanese commercial plane that flew well before World War II. The music's chief influences are clearly Ravel and Prokofiev. Ravel is the guiding light behind the glittery keyboard runs in the first movement, as well as the jazz-inflected second movement, though the rather saccharine sax solo of this movement also recalls Gerswhin's Concerto in F and Rhapsody in Blue. Prokofiev lends steel and ice to some of the keyboard writing, and the mercurial-motoric last movement seems indebted to the last movement of Prokofiev's Fourth Concerto, whose coda similarly comes out of nowhere to conclude the piece--kind of inconclusively! If Bartok is there behind Ohzawa's conception--as the other astute reviewer on this page surmises--his influence has been smoothed out a bit: Ohzawa's keyboard writing is more fluid, his writing for the orchestra more streamlined than the granitic, often blocky sound Bartok favors.

Given all these influences, it's very interesting to turn to the symphony, which, though written around the same time and certainly by a fully mature composer, draws from another well. The CD cover postulates Roussel and early Myaskovsky as influences. To this I would add Janacek, especially in the writing for winds and brass--at least, I'd be surprised if Ohzawa didn't know Taras Bulba and the Sinfonietta. Overall, this work, celebrating the 2,600th anniversary of Japan, is more soberly dramatic, more overtly public, as befits the occasion. I'm not sure if there is a program behind it--certainly it is not a clear one if there is--but Ohzawa seems to want to convey the years of internal struggle Japan had known and its hard-won victory as a world power. Ohzawa lightens up only in the third movement, a graceful minuet that, again, seems to owe something to Prokofiev, this time to Prokofiev the witty neoclassicist.

If I seem to be dismissing Ohzawa's art as a mere patchwork of Western musical influences, that's not my object. I'm trying to describe its sound world in the only way I know how. It is certainly not without its individual touches and certainly not without some daring, given that many composers of the thirties, those without ties to the centers of musical modernism as Ohzawa was, wrote throwback pieces you wouldn't want to hear today. No throwbacks, no museum pieces on this disc.

As with any music by unknown composers, it's a bit hard to judge the quality of the performances here, but it appears that Yablonsky and his forces have the measure of this music. Nowhere do I hear a mere run-through or a place where more time to get to know the music seems in order. The playing by both orchestra and pianist are polished, and Yablonsky keeps things moving just as I would hope. Tempos seem well judged to provide maximum effect. I doubt that this music will get, or need, finer performances in future. Sound is fine, too, reflecting the excellent results Naxos engineers are getting in Russia these days. This one is definitely worth a try.

A Piano Concerto and a Symphony Worth Hearing.......2005-04-16

It is sad that the family of Japanese composer Hisato Ohzawa (1907-1953) had to, against the tides of fortune, preserve the scores of his works after his music dropped completely from sight after his death, and we are fortunate that the family preserved them so carefully for these two pieces are really worthwhile. After his death he became so obscure that he was not even remembered by very many in the Japanese music scene. He had been in the first generation of Japanese composers to study in the West and unlike many had spent several years in the US studying with the likes of Frederick Converse, Roger Sessions and Arnold Schoenberg. While in the US he was the first Japanese to conduct the Boston Symphony (in his own 'Little Symphony') before he went on to study with Nadia Boulanger in Paris. After six years in the West he returned to Japan and remained there the rest of his life. He led an active life in the Kansei district (which includes his hometown, Kobe, as well as Osaka and Kyoto). But that was a conservative part of the country and his music had difficulty being accepted (although to our ears they are extremely easy to assimilate); he was not helped by the rudimentary state of Japanese orchestras in those days.

His Third Piano Concerto has elements reminiscent of Rachmaninoff, Bartók and Ravel (with more than a soupçon of jazzy Gershwin thrown in). The outer movements are virtuosic, rhythmically interesting, and brilliantly orchestrated. Their harmonic language is French cum Russian, their thrust Bartókian. The middle movement, which begins with a smoky sax blues, surely was modeled to some degree on the second movement of Ravel's G Major Concerto with some cross-fertilization from Gershwin's Concerto in F. It is simply gorgeous. The performance here by Russian pianist Ekaterina Saranceva is sparkling and she is ably accompanied by the Russian Philharmonic under the up-and-coming Dmitry Yablonsky, also known to us as a fine cellist. The Concerto's subtitle, 'Kamikaze,' has little to do with the Japanese suicide bombers of World War II; written in 1938 (and subtitled at least partly to give the concerto a popular tinge) it is named after the civil airplane called the 'Kamikaze,' a feat of pre-war Japanese engineering that set a speed record between Tokyo and London and of which the nation was understandably proud.

The Third Symphony, written just before the Second Concerto, was premired in 1937 by the forerunner of the NHK Symphony to an indifferent response from the Tokyo public. It is subtitled 'Symphony of the Founding of Japan' to celebrate the 2600th anniversary of the country. (Richard Strauss and Benjamin Britten. among others, also wrote pieces for the celebration.) In four movements, the first and longest movement is a dramatic, even brutalist, sonata-allegro which sounds a bit like Honegger with lots of pentatonic scale passages thrown in. The second movement, Adagio grazioso, is a bit misterioso, features much that sounds like French non-impressionist music (Roussel, Honegger) wedded with ceremonial Gagaku (Japanese court) music. Although mostly serene, there are some uneasy undercurrents. The charming third movement, Menuet con fantasia, is in rondo form (not the usual ABA minuet form), one section of which 'uses a bouncing pattern, called Pynkobushi' (I am indebted here to the detailed insert notes by Japanese musicologist and critic Morihide Katayama). The finale, Allegro non troppo con fuoco, bursts onto the scene with a fortissimo tutti clamor and then settles into a march rhythm until the Pynkobushi rhythm of the previous movement returns to lighten the atmosphere a bit. Another sonata-allegro (albeit rather free), this movement, with its contrasting first and second themes, subsides into a string chorale before leading to a complex and fascinating contrapuntal recombination of the original themes. Quite a feat of expert craft leading to fascinating and musically satisfying results. This work grew on me each time I heard it. If one makes some allowance for its emotional reticence (surely a carry-over of Ohzawa's French training), it is very nearly the equal of most of what was being written in Europe at the time.

Recommended for those wishing to stray from the tried and true.

This show is a blast! It's a very funny story about some comics trying to make it in the big leagues. The music is so entertaining and the guys are hilarious. If you like comedy, you'll love Three Guys.

B-Def an Underrated rapper.......2000-02-07

B-Def's superb performance on his current album (Prince of the City) accurately represents Detriot's versatile style and uniqueness. B-Def is an underrated rapper where if he went to L.A. or N.Y.C. his album would sell over millions.
