Busta boring

Advantages: good for the fans
Disadvantages: bad for all other hip hop fans

The first song on this album isn't pulling any punches: "Ready for Busta Rhymes," they harmonize, "he's the one we've all, been waiting for, forever." Really? That's news to me. Sure, I like the animated motherfucking maniac of rap as much as the next man. In fact, Trevor Smith (that's his real name y'all) was even pretty good as the shit-talking rasta Rasaan in John Singleton's 2000 update of the film "Shaft." Props are due; Busta has come a long ...
...the New School. Taking up acting as a hobby is no excuse for an inconsistant album though. Busta has always had crazy wild energy in his flow and delivery and this album is no exception - what is severly lacking is quality of beats. On a 12 track album this might not be problematic, but it's quite tedious over 22 cuts. Songs like the Jay Dee produced "Enjoy Da Ride" and "Live it Up" are musically functional but not at all exciting. Giving a charismatic ...

Review of Anarchy [PA] - Busta Rhymes

Busta's Rebirth

Advantages: A few bangers
Disadvantages: Too long

"Genesis" came as the fifth solo album from the New York rapper, Busta Rhymes. It came out in 2001, and as him working alongside some of the best of the time with the likes of The Neptunes, Diddy and Dr. Dre all making appearances on this record. It features some of his best material ever, and I would say it would be the final album he released before he seemingly feel off. 1. "Intro" 2. "Everybody Rise Again" After a introduction, which featured ...
...to get excited with ascending melodies which build one up in the way which Busta wants as he brings you into a much more lively (but manageable album). it is the right way to start things off, and tell the listener where things are directed. **Three Stars** 3. "As I Come Back" He doesn't mess around for this one as The Neptunes jump on the beats, and display how they have developed since the late nineties with a funky recording which has them use ...

Review of Best Of Busta Rhymes, The [PA] - Busta Rhymes

Busta Brings the Genesis

Advantages: Great Production, Excellent lyrical performance and alot of content
Disadvantages: if you enjoy hip hop or rap there are none

For me this is the best Busta Rhymes album that you can find. Excellent productions from Dr Dre and the Neptunes will just keep your head nodding to the beats throughout. Bustas lyrical talent is unbeatable and on this album he raps on a variety of different tracks and tempos. It features some hits such as - Break ya Neck, which i think is one of his best performances and listening to it might actually break your neck lol - Truck Volume - Pass ...
...to the album with some good speakers so that you can experience the full extent of the bass(especially on the Dre tracks). If you are a fan of Busta Rhymes and you dont have this album the you are not a fan. However this album is a must have for anyone who enjoys listening to hip hop or rap. Excellent Performance ...
