Twista Hooks Up With Sting For 'Stolen Car' Remix & Video

Yahoo! Music, Apr 17, 2004 7:00 am PDT
Rapper Twista is featured on the current remix of Sting's latest single, "Stolen Car." MTV.com reports that the rapper was star-struck while recently shooting a video for the song. He said, "For one of the scenes he (Sting) was singing his part and I'm doing my part in the car next to him. It was real exciting to me. I'm sitting there like, 'Look where we came from. I'm doing this? This guy was in the Police. We're doing a record together.' It's off the chain."

The rapper also explained how he came up with his lyrics for the remix. He said, "I basically rewrote the lyrics for 'Stolen Car.' I described his same story about the young guy stealing the car and he's having visions about the guy whose car he stole. It turns out to be a businessman, and the rich businessman is doing a few things he shouldn't be doing."

In related news, Twista's latest release, Kamikaze, was recently certified-Platinum for sales of 1 million copies. The latest single from the set is "Overnight Celebrity."
