Classic, obviously. It's the ultimate in just straight-up, no pretentions, jump around like a pillock hip-hop. Especially look up "Scenario" (w/A Tribe Called Quest), "Gimme Some Mo'", "Ante Up" (w/MOP).... actually, search it all. Apart from the last two albums with have been a bit eh.
Busta Rhymes was the soundtrack to all my teen psychiatry group meetings as well, even if only two of us liked him...

i like the new single, even though the beat is a but underproduced, like new york shit.
― titchyschneiderMk2, Tuesday, 20 May 2008 14:35 (eighteen years ago)
"Don't Touch Me" (which is awesome, calling it "underproduced" is totally nitpicking) or the stank Linkin Park one?
― The Reverend, Tuesday, 20 May 2008 17:25 (eighteen years ago)
no, the throw some water on em one. not heard the linkin park one (why the fuck is he working with them in 2008?)
― titchyschneiderMk2, Tuesday, 20 May 2008 17:46 (eighteen years ago)
washed up rapper in misguided crossover attempt shocker
― J0rdan S., Tuesday, 20 May 2008 17:48 (eighteen years ago)
Busta middle name is pretty much misguided crossover attempt.

his parents were cruel.
― titchyschneiderMk2, Tuesday, 20 May 2008 17:57 (eighteen years ago)
Chuck D named him Busta Rhymes. Flav provided the middle name.
― Alex in Baltimore, Tuesday, 20 May 2008 17:59 (eighteen years ago)
"We Made It" is so terrible that I think they're actually worse off for having Cool & Dre produce it than if Linkin Park had done all the music themselves.
― Alex in Baltimore, Tuesday, 20 May 2008 18:01 (eighteen years ago)
Reviving this because "Don't Touch Me" is fucking massive.

why in the hell no mention of put your hands or dangerous or everything remains raw
― brimstead, Friday, 30 October 2020 21:18 (five years ago)
lol i just spent 10 minutes trying to remember the name of put your hands where my eyes could see so i could re-watch the video which is like etched deeply into my consciousness

The new album sounds like a+ old dude rap so far
― change display name (Jordan), Friday, 30 October 2020 21:35 (five years ago)
excited to dig into this but I am probably gonna skip the Farrakhan feature tbh
― it bangs for thee (Simon H.), Friday, 30 October 2020 21:44 (five years ago)
This is fun, still feels like underrated as a 2020 comeback record:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cz4Itj-R8S0
― change display name (Jordan), Tuesday, 22 December 2020 17:23 (five years ago)
i liked it overall, overlong obviously like every rap album in the streaming era (now even longer i think because they always go back and do a deluxe edition a few weeks later to goose the numbers)
but man hearing him and kendrick tear is up was amazing, lots of good shit, some expected weird stuff, the song where rapsody plays his ex wife and is basically like i'm sorry i made being a father so hard for you by being a total bitch is really jarring

damn busta's sw0le
― ffolkes (map), Tuesday, 22 December 2020 19:36 (five years ago)
Ouch I didn't listen to that one.
The Bell Biv Devoe one is unbelievably funky, the Mariah one is kind of a fun throwback, love the Kendrick one. I want an instrumental of the kalimba beat on 'Blowing the Speakers'.
― change display name (Jordan), Tuesday, 22 December 2020 19:49 (five years ago)
thank you guys for reminding me of the existence of this album!!
