On a list that included Camron, DMX, Prodigy, Nelly, 50 Cent and others Twista also found himself on the wrong list.
Arguably the most prolific double-time rapper in the history of the genre, Twista was a lyrical monster in his heyday, even being courted by Dame Dash and Puff to join their respective dynasties at one point. But after reaching commercial success with an assist from a fresh-faced Kanye West via his 2003 Kamikaze LP, Twista traded in his rhyme animal card for a bouquet of flowers and a membership to the local gentleman's club. Dude literally became the modern-day LL Cool J, swooning to women single after single.
While I'm sure he still has a little bit of that gasoline-flame flow left in him, maybe those groupies that popped up after "Slow Jams" and "Overnight Celebrity" left him too love-drunk to turn back at this point.
