Hold on. I know what you’re thinking based on the beat, but no, Twista isn’t (really) getting all Southern on his new single I Do. The production, courtesy of his frequent collaborator, The Legendary Traxster, may sound trap music-esque at first, but ultimately it’s simply a boundary-less beat full of booming bass. Moving on, there’s a big difference between your average rapper on a track with a beat like this vs. a heavy hitter like Twista, and while I Do’s substance is sometimes flawed (“duty/dookie” rhymes in the first verse doesn’t help move the track, in my humble opinion), the most potent part of the song as always is Twista’s surgically precise delivery, although he notably doesn’t once launch into the kind of machine gun rhymes that usually leaves listeners with their jaws dropped and gasping for air. If you liked this deviation from Twista’s norm, be sure to keep it locked to the Booth for more information on his latest project, The Perfect Storm, which is still awaiting a solid release date.

Just like most artists, rappers or otherwise, Twista has had his fair share of hits and misses. When he's missed, which has been a rarity over the last decade plus, it was mostly because of the direction that was taken production-wise (see "Give It Up"). Thus, I cannot underscore the importance of his hooking back up for good with longtime musical collaborator Traxster.
The two Chicagoans sound excellent together and I can tell you first hand that this song will receive mad love in my hometown of the Chi. I hope it spread. |

Sounds like something straight out of Houston, Texas, I feel it though. One of Chi-Towns best is makin noise again, I like the fast rappin Twista better though.

It's a lazy played out effort, which has been done better by many, including some weed-carriers within his own camp. I didn't hear one original line in any of the verses and hook is couple of years too late as well. I don't know why I'm even bothering to comment. I guess I should've skipped it just like last Jeezy feature with that Shawty Redd beat which had been labeled played-out back in 2006.
1.5 and I'll balance it out with @Big-A. |

I agree with BigA...I was wondering where I heard this beats, and this song "concept" has been done to death...Orginality= -100

Considering I honestly haven't been truly excited about anything in the Booth today maybe I'm just in a bad mood, but I'm not feeling this either. The beat's an absolute banger (you can't do it justice on computer speakers) but Twista's flow is just ordinary when he's not coming rapid fire.
I got to agree with Co-Sign3, Twista can some a lot harder than this. |

I guess it's a Lake Michigan thing...but I gotta give this a 4 too...ever since Twista linked back up with Traxster, his musical quality has improved a LOT.
Category F5 was his best since Kamikaze-hopefully The Perfect Storm will be this awesome! |

I heard "Yo Body" from F5 yesterday. Twista hasn't lost a step, which is what makes "I Do" that much better. Everyone knows Twista for the fastest raps in the game, but here he shows that he can make a slower banger too. I agree with x20nickel, it seems Houston chopped'n'screwed, but its a great track nonetheless.

The beat goes hard but Twista is known for his tongue twistas and rapid fire raps. The hook is really annoying and unnecessarily repeated.
Beat = 4 Twista's rapping = 2 Hook = 0 Twista in general = 5 I'm giving it a generous 3 stars |

I think what people dont understand is that, labels are the ones who release the songs/projects. So this track most likely could have been released before My Chick Bad, but its not the artist fault. Twista came with the heat, and so do Traxster. Reinvention keeps artist fresh, and relivant, and this was a good choice.

This just didn’t really get going, Twista’s flow sounded well off the mark. Twista should stick to the quicker raps as that’s where he excels.

Big Boi and Twista sound almost identical these days. Not Twist's best work.

I like the chopped n screwed hook! I think Twista shoulda came way harder than this though. I got excited at first and then was disappointed by slow average rapping over a cold cold ass beat!. I shoulda got on this song. LOL
