Extended interview: Twista

The hip-hop world is all about fast living, but one man leaves even the biggest names in his dust.

Twista once set a Guinness World Record for rhyming at 11.2 syllables a second. It made him the fastest rapper on Earth.

Twista started out on the streets of Chicago and became one of hip-hop's pioneers.

As he grew as a rapper, he picked up in pace, and a new style of rap known as "chopper" was born.

He spoke to Newshub ahead of his performance at the Block Party festival in Auckland.
