Last year, Ludacris landed an impressive comeback behind his hit single, "My Chick Bad." The comeback had significant help from then-relative newcomer, Nicki Minaj. Her verse was energetic paired with Ludacris' latest style.

Ludacris, like many other rappers in the game, have been dropping names in their rhymes. When describing something, they usually drop a name to go along with it. Not too many know Big Sean is the rapper who originated this style.

Drake has made this style of rap famous, but he acknowledged the first rapper doing this was Big Sean. Recently, Big Sean discussed how Ludacris has taken the style. He insisted he was not dissing the legend, but he described how things get used and confused.

Big Sean is glad Ludacris uses the flow because it shows how much he has grown as an artist.

Lil Wayne, Drake, and Nicki Minaj to appear on "Don't Get It Twisted"

Upon signing mixtape stars, Drake and Nicki Minaj, to his Young Money label, Lil Wayne focused on making them into mainstream stars. Wayne introduced Drake to the masses before going to Riker's Island. Drake would become the face of the crew over the summer.

Nicki Minaj created her own buzz when she landed on two of the spring's biggest tracks, "My Chick Bad" and "Lil' Freak." Working with two established veterans, Ludacris and Usher, was big for her. It was impressive because neither are associated with her crew.

Lil' Twist has also had a large following over the past few years. But, as a younger member of the crew, he has not had the publicity of the big three. This will all change this year. Twist has been recording his new album for months and he plans to release it this summer. As expected, the album will be star-studded, featuring appearances from Lil Wayne, Drake, and Nicki Minaj, but the album will also feature other big names. Sean Kingston and Justin Bieber will also appear on his album, Don't Get It Twisted.

Recently, a video was filmed for Lil' Twist's "Dayo" single, featuring guest appearances from Birdman, the head of the operation, and Mack Maine.
