Twista - Make a Movie ft. Chris Brown

The perfect song to chronicle the continuing pornificiation of our country!


Now, as long as we've had the ability to record movies, naked people have been something we've taped.  However, with the rise of the internet, it has become more readily available, and easier to produce at home.  Add in the allure of folks like Kim Kardashian getting famous for making a tape of themselves, and more and more guys and gals are filming themselves getting busy.  Now we have another song to promote it!

"Twista got cars
Big swagger
I'm a rock star like Mick Jagger
And I got bars that I spit faster
You a hot star no b*tch badder
So let me take you on a ride
On a journey with the one that you call daddy
Who gon make you get it wet
But this time we gon do something romantic and different
I'll tell you about it when we get on the movie set"

I'm gonna deliver a Jean Claude Van Damme style to the next person who rhymes "swagger" with "Jagger."  It started in "Swagger Like Us" moved on to "Tik Tok" and shows up again here.  After bragging about his swagger and speedy rhyming, he then attempts to complement the girl by calling her... a female dog?  How do women hear that and not take offense?   Oy, last week we had a guy calling a girl mommy, and now we have a woman calling her guy "daddy."  I've never understood that.  I've heard it's a porn trope, started by starlets with daddy issues, which kind of seeded itself into common dirty talking because more and more men were watching porn and exposing women to it.

"I was thinking that we could just make a sex tape
Plus I think yo face cute when its a HD
Maybe I could tape you and you could tape me
When I pull my h2 up to your h3
You know that you want to be in this movie
So dont be acting like a trippin with a stranger mission
Recording you while you lovin me down below
Switching the camera angle when we change positions
You could be the director aiming the camera down at me
Filming me licking until you say cut
Ready for any footage you wanna get
Ain't gotta call nobody else because
I do my own stunts
Its the X rated version of a box office hit
I see you ready to strip for this"

Twista wastes no time in trying to talk the woman into this ill-advised venture.  He comes right out and says he wants to make a sex tape.  I guess when you're that blatant, we end up with explicit lyrics that don't leave anything to the imagination.  This should have stayed on the album and been the song couples play with each other.  Why is this playing on radio stations during drive time hours when children can hear it?

Now we move on to the chorus by Chris Brown.  I'm no fan of Chris Brown.  I found him a sort of bland pop musician, but then he beat up a woman, and I lost all respect for him.  (for more anti-Chris Brown funnies, check out Todd in the Shadows)

"So let me get the music in, get the tape in, get the cameras in (oh oh oh ohhh)
Baby we dont need no script for this
I'ma throw a couple thousand baby strip for this
Let me pull my camera and make a movie yeah
Starring you and me yehhh
Baby we dont need no actresses
Let me tell you what I'm working with, I'ma break your back with this
Let me pull my camera out lets make a movie yehhh
Starring you and me yehhh yehhh, girl"

Here again, a man throwing money at a woman (who doesn't seem to be a stripper)!  Ladies, if a man throws money in your direction and you're not dancing on a stage, please go kick him in the balls!  That's incredibly disrespectful.

"Shawty we gon make a movie
Got me lovin it when I'm feelin on the booty
Especially when I can blame it on the alcohol
Coz it do some thing to me
She look better than any chick in my perimeter
Sexy, I wish I could film every bit of her
Kiss her neck down to her stomach and then I'ma
Tell her we could be in a personal cinema"

Sleezy, scummy.  Moving on.

"I let you hold the camera first and then I hold it then
Cuz I wanna see how its coming out and goin in
Let you see such a freak in me, I hope this never leak on TMZ this is 50 world star or CNN
Baby girl you kick the world off the axis
Im yo director, filming you for practice
And you know I think you a hell of a actress
Especially when I'm shooting you on a matress
Shawty straight to the top thats where we headed
And I'ma see my name in the credits
And be the sh*t if you let it
See somethin that you not really feelin
Then we can always go back and make an edit
I'll be sippin on patron platinum
She knew about the rapping
But didn't know I'd be on acting
Now a personal reality show
So then, get the tape in, get the cameras in (oh oh oh ohhh)"

"I wanna see how it's going out and going in"  Unnecessarily graphic.


This song shouldn't be played before 9pm, and I honestly feel it shouldn't be on the radio at all.  Why do we need such explicit and nasty stuff invading our ears?  On a pop level, the beat is forgettable and the chorus is weak.  Twista also seems to be moving at a slower, languid pace compared to previous efforts.  (Try "Slow Jams" and Def Jam Rapstar and then sing along with this track.  You'll find this one is much more simple.)
