Did Faith get the "low carb" diet and "high on crack" diet confused?

TWISTA FEATURING FAITH EVANS Hope Producer(s): Toxic Writer(s): C. Mitchell, F. Taylor, T. Calloway Publisher(s): Stayin High Music (ASCAP); China White Music (ASCAP); God Given Music (BMI) Genre: R&B/HIP-HOP Label/Catalog Number: Capitol 7087 6 19011 (CD promo) Source: Billboard Magazine Originally Reviewed: January 01, 2005
The quest for a better life is the dominant theme of "Hope." The mellow, guitar-driven track is the first single from the soundtrack to "Coach Carter." The theatrical release is inspired by a true-life story and stars Samuel L. Jackson. Rapper Twista comes armed with his trademark fast-moving flow. He craftily invokes Stevie Wonder, 2Pac, Biggie, CNN and Rodney King in his uplifting rap. The tenor of his message is further underscored by a soulful hook laid down by the heretofore missing-in-action Faith Evans. Due Jan. 11, the soundtrack also features Kanye West, Fabolous, Chingy, Common and Dr. Dre protégé the Game.—GM

Wow, this song is so good... whenever I feel like sh*t, which is usually a lot in the winter because of the depressing environment in WV, it makes me feel so much better. Also so does Ludacris + Trick Daddy's "Hopeless".

I love this song! It sounds like it'd fit in right alongside Boyz II Men, the Fugees, and TLC on a 1996 Urban playlist! (and I guess that's the exact reason why it's not doing better >:( :()

the hook is really infectious, i think a large part of that is the way you can repeat it over and over, it's like the song that never ends only in a good way. that being said, i don't think it's going to go too far. Faith is delaying her lead single a little b/c of this track.

it's a steady slow grower so far, which is may favorite kind of song. usually i'd proclaim a song like that to be headed top 10 on at least one format, but i think too much of its success may be due to heavy promotion and success of the Coach Carter movie.
but it is staying at +100 to +200 at all 3 formats, and the video is getting a lot of airplay. looks like it'll make Hot 100 at least. i can see it getting top 40 on the Hot 100 but beyond that it's not clear.

I'm glad this song is doing well considering it doesn't contain the usual content not to mention Twista's repping Chi-town.

This is better than Slow Jamz or Overnight Celebrity, or any of his guest appearances? Are you kiddin me? This is just a break from usual stuff. I'm pretty sure Twista won't ever make a record like this again. He's known for his blazing fast rapping. He may have a heart, but its not his best stuff. U gotta remember, this was for a movie soundtrack.
