Unable to pay your bills?  Relationship troubles?  Political discontent?  If any of these Problems sound familiar, then Twista has just the song for you!  Even when things seem the bleakest, the rapper is sure to look on the bright side—after all, what point is there in complaining about the government when the President’s black, from Chicago, and about to get our troops out of Iraq?  Complete with a guest verse from Tech N9ne, this track is every Midwesterner’s wet dream.  Those wondering why Problems did not make the cut for Twista’s latest LP will find the answer in Blended Babies’ beat; suffice it to say,  it’s VERY hard to clear a sample from an Andrew Lloyd Webber musical (in this case Jesus Christ Superstar).  Although this record’s absence from Category F5‘s tracklist may leave some disappointed, take a lesson from Twista and think positive—Category F5 is sure to deliver plenty of tracks the emcee’s devotees will simply LOVE when it drops next Tuesday (July 14th).

G'damn...I've been waiting for this collaboration for years! Blended Babies have arrived, they laid down some AMAZING production muscle for the guys.

The mixture of the drums and that sample is pretty sick. That's too bad that the rights couldn't be cleared for it. It's a great backdrop for these two rapid-fire geniuses. Tech N9ne gets the edge from me for the simple fact that he sounds better over the production. Twista does his thing too.

That drum beat mixed with twista flow is incredible in my opinion. However TEcHs was even better. OH MY GOD! THESE CATS NEED 2 DO AN ALBUM together!

Agreed, they NEED to do an album together. But then again I am still waiting on a Twista/Bone Thugs project. Too bad they didn't clear this sample - this is dope.

I'm a HUGE Tech fan and he totally rips this to pieces!!
He totally overshadows Twista with his amazing style!!
Twista does ok but is easily forgettable!!
If you guys haven't listened to Tech N9ne's Sikology 101 yall need to go get that cuz that album is CLASSIC!!
But this is slightly below it!!

A good track, though to be honest it was kinda what I was expecting from these two. The production from Blended Babies was pretty good.

3.5

I'm writing this as I listen to the song, and the way Twista started it was crazy. He came in with a nice fast/smooth delivery. Tech came in, and definitely did his song. With these 2 together on an song, you can not go wrong.

They have similar style but Tech N9ne really sets himself apart. It seems like he has more control over his "chaotic" flow, more musically oriented.

The beat is so dope: bassline, percussion, sample, all sick!

It's really unfortunate how complicated clearance issues are, this song would've been a great addition to the album.

@godsson81885: That is one of my top three tracks on MIMS' underappreciated sophomore effort, and Tech kills it!

Hate the beat but Twista and Tech N9ne killed the lyrics. Tech n9ne is hotter than what people give him credit for. 2.5 stars

Too much happening at once in the beat. Tech and Twista are solid as always though.
