Twista

Say what you will about rapping and hip hop.  I know I will soon enough. 

I just want to say Twista has skill.  His lyrics reflect much of the same hackneyed stuff that most rap artists since the art became such a craft.  But his particular sense of rhythm and linguistic dexterity are such that the only way I could describe him to someone who had never heard of him before, was to say "it's like his mouth is tap dancing."

I find it impressive to say the least.  It's the same thrill I get from hearing Djavan sing "Irma de Neon," while still being entirely different.
