Twista featuring Prince “I Can Make You Say”
Twista speed-rhyming verses about the nastiest thing he could do to a lady isn’t anyhing new (from a distant perspective, it seems to be the main lyrical focus of about 90% of his output), but like his previous no-brainer smashes “Slow Jamz” and “Overnight Celebrity”, recent leak “I Can Make You Say” is mostly a keeper for the going-ons that surround his still ridiculous, uzi-fire flow.
In this case, a delectably chopped sampling of Prince’s 1981 late-night bedroom jam “Do Me Baby” which reduces His Purple Majesty to a loop of orgasmic falsetto yelps, the empty spaces between the diced-up groove filled in with Cali producer Doc Savage‘s somersault-like percussion tricks.
Too bad it won’t become the major hit it feels destined to be with Prince not being in the mood to officially clear the sample. Damn you and your fun-stifling ways, Mr. “Purple Rain”.
Hear the track below, than peep the video for Twista’s latest, official single “Wetter” (from the forthcoming Category F5 album) afterward. It’s nice and all (and, unsurprisingly, another sensual one), but definitely less interesting than the Prince-affiliated number.

Look man. Kanye West did not produce this song, it was produced by a member from my production team THE CORPORATION. I go by blackbox and the producer who REALLY produced this was Doc Savage. His myspace is http://www.myspace.com/docsavdidit. What is frustrating is that all of the paperwork was handled in correct fashion, legally, with laywers; however, this b.s. happens. We will be putting video footage up on out blog at http://wearecorporate.blogspot.com soon about this issue. Kanye had NOTHING to do with this track and it’s pissing me off, as a producer and a representative of my team, and friend. It’s not the fault of the bloggers at all; however, it’s frustrating because producers work hard to get the recognition they deserve…its not right.
