Mr. Immortality: The Life and Times of Twista is a documentary that traces the Chicago rapper's rise from his roots in the city to his landmark status in hip-hop. Directed by Vlad Yudin, the film examines Twista's signature rapid-fire flow—which earned him a Guinness World Record in 1992 for fastest MC, delivering 598 syllables in sixty seconds—and his enduring influence on music. The documentary also contextualizes Chicago's cultural landscape, exploring the city's history of gun violence and its profound effect on residents and youth. Featuring interviews with Ne-Yo, The Dream, Jeremih, Scott Storch and others, the film runs over 90 minutes and celebrates Twista's artistic accomplishments while documenting the city that shaped him.
