Twista ft. Legit Ballaz - Tattoo (remix)
(From Tattoo (remix) single; 2002)
Anybody got an unedited MP3 of the Tattoo (remix) by Twista & Legit Ballaz? A dirty version exists because I've got it on 12", but I still don't know how to rip records to MP3. This song really should have been on Kamikaze because it's one of Twista's best singles of the noughties. Twista earned the Vividest Author™ of 2002 award with those lyrics quoted up top, huh? Champagne booty-chatter, exquisite freaky tales: words that'll paint a pretty picture in your mind's third eye and turn your penis into a third leg.
PS: also looking for an MP3 of the extended remix of Timbaland & Magoo's Clock Strikes with Mad Skillz. That's another song I can't find anywhere on the internet which only exists on the 12" (I think?)

Cheers, Sleep.
And cheers Anonymous too.
Can’t believe tramp stamps from the noughties look classier than the epileptic and meaningless scribbles around today.
Can only be a matter of time before the next wave of zoomers start getting ironic tribal tattoos.
That song is great, another one I discovered through your blog.
Haven't listened to Kamikaze in a while but I used to really like that album. Even the more mainstream tunes like Celebrity Overnight or Slow Jamz I don't mind, but the real deep cut on it is Like A 24: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W7hQ7OoxOSI
I'll plump for Pimp On as my album deep cut.
The 2 KanYe joints are amazing, as is Badunkadunk. Big fan of Sunshine too which was a legit pop hit here in the U.K.
This was that weird time when Twista was being recruited by both Bad Boy and Rocafella, but Atlantic / CWAL wouldn't let him outta his contract. So Twista went super underground and started doing the Legit Ballin tapes with White Boy James. It was SUPER regional, super Chicago. A lot of this stuff didn't make it outta the Midwest for years.
Some of the Legit Ballin stuff was cool, but for my money none of it was good as the Mobstability album -- which on somedays I like better than Adrenaline Rush.
This all happened at the same time as Do or Die wiggled out of their Rap-A-Lot deal and signed with Legion, which crumbled even faster. The label owner just snitched on the Cartel and a Senator and turned out to be a government informant.

Damn 😬
Legit Ballaz Ball Wit' Me is a top 5 noughties Twista single for me.
Some solid trivia/context right there.
Of course I forgot Badunkbadunk! And Pimp On is great too but how can you go wrong with a song that features both Eightball and Too Short rappin' about their favorite pasttime haha.
Gonna have to pull Mobstability off the shelf as well, I got this one and the first e
Legit Ballin album for fairly cheap at some second hand record stores, might do a themed day where I only listen to stuff produced by The Legendary Traxter and Toxic.
I need to revist Mobstability too.
Mobstability is especially fire because Twista only had to concentrate on making one verse per song as opposed to three. And he was trying to smoke Liffy and Maze on every track.
Also Traxster was free to experiment with some more R&B type sounds...
In a perfect world Rock Y'all Spot would have been a single.
Per Trax, the single was supposed to be "In Your World" -- that's why it was on the Dr. Dolittle Soundtrack first.
But allegedly the label switched gears and made the single "Mobstability" because they wanted to break Twista on the West Coast. Weird move imo.
cool video though...Downtown Chicago in the late 90s

In Your World definitely woulda been the better single.
