Bad sampling, with a twist!

"Twista's 2nd single off "Kamikaze", "Overnight Celebrity", to put it bluntly, contains some of the most irritating sampling in the world. The sampling of someone screaming in the chorus is NOT a work of art, it's just plain annoying. If that wasn't there, this would be a pretty good song, and would merit about 4 stars.
As Twista's name suggests, he twists his words and his raps flow at breakneck speed, and if I'm correct, he is close to the world record for fastest rapper. He obviously has talent, but bad production from Kanye West kills the song here. Did Kanye use all his GOOD beats and samples on Jay-Z? Who knows..."
S**t on you nay-sayers/disagreers!

"f**k whatcha think. I don't care. I think it's 1 of my favorite songs alongside "Slow Jams" with Ye and J. Foxx, this is off da chain you see what I mean. This is truly outstanding. My boy, my favorite rapper Twista deserves credit in this. He's very enormous, more relaxed, versatile, creative, good rapper tho. May I add on to that. As for Mistermaxxx, try again next time aight. It's good whatcha say but u're missing the point.
This song features a sample of Lenny Williams timeless R&B classic, "You Know I Love You", gave the song a shot but it's still not that bad, don't wanna say too generic, too corny or too overrated, this what caught me since after "Overnight" came out."
I think its dope as hell

"Why are all the other reviewers sh*tting on this song? This song is tight as hell and is an awesome song to dance to in a club. yeah the chorus can get a big annoying but the verses are ridiculous and the violin works with the beat really well. i actually like it better than Slow jamz."
