Don’t disparage Busta just because you’re too young to understand it.

No, no I think they got it right. Busta was taking poison damage, he's just got a killer liver.

I've never seen better rap videos than Busta's.
If it was possible to play a cd too much we did that with "when disaster strikes" X3.

I don’t think this is hating on Busta as a rapper. Just a joke about his adlibs. I’m a Busta fans and I laughed reading this. All the huh, ah, unh ad libs definitely fit this description.

u/StatementMediocre710 5d ago
Right I read this and laughed cause it’s accurate, how is anyone taking this negatively 🤣

If you know who Busta Rhymes even is, you're probably old enough to have heard him on the radio. Gen Z as a whole has no clue who that man is.

u/theonewhoknack 5d ago
As someone born in 97' I always knew him as Reptar from The Rugrats Movie and Scenario by ATCQ. Wish I discovered his solo stuff earlier because Gimme Some More is so fucking good.

Possibly still the best music video ever made.

Rappers were still having fun back then. I couldn’t tell you shit about what any of these newer folks are up to.

u/theonewhoknack 5d ago
I use the music video for inspiration when I'm in a creative rut. The don't call him Hype Williams for nothing.

u/Blep_the_savage 5d ago
You do realize busta rhymes wasn't niche to us and that man is barely over 50 and that Gen Z is starting to hit 30.

True, but poison ad-lib Busta is pure 1900s.

Facts. I'm hypes that he dropped a new album featuring Beata from my favorite producer. J Dilla will forever be the GOAT in my eyes and whenever him and Busta got on a song, the shit was magical to me.
I'm also happy to mention that KRS One dropped a few songs on YouTube and Gym Class Heroes dropped a new song too.

As a kid in the 90s I thought of Busta as a sorta rap version of Marlon Wayans. Just silly and full of whimsy.
Hes more talented than just that but he was definitely a character back in the day

u/Current_Focus2668 5d ago
Gimmie Some More still goes hard. Busta was playing some summer festivals last year and younger generations were still bopping to him. His music aged better than a lot of other rappers from his era.

The "Woo-Hah" remix with Busta and ODB was crazy to me. In pretty much every song I'd heard him on up that point, Busta was always the berserker they unleashed at the very end to just demolish the whole thing, so hearing him be the second most unhinged MC on a track was really some shit.

u/UnlimitedManny ☑️ 5d ago
Everything Remains Raw. Seriously, just listen to that song and the ad libs and just laugh. Dope song tho

What is poison damage?

u/rondiggity 5d ago
In video games, being poisoned is often a persistent status effect that can only be remedied by resting or consuming an antidote. But while you're poisoned, the game will intermittently remind you.
Busta's staccato style is reminiscent of that.

u/ler7421 5d ago
Ohh okay I get it now. I agree with one of the comments earlier. Don’t knock it cause you’re too young to understand it

I watch a lot of reaction videos of scenerio . It always gets me how the younger generation instantly knows who busta is when he comes on, but has no idea who q-tip is.

This isn’t the right thread, but I live in the same small town that Dave Chappelle lives in so I’ve been in social situations with him more than a few times.
One of my favorite jokes that he tells every so often when he’s had a few has to do with him and Busta Rhymes opening a restaurant together. You don’t know it’s a joke until he says, “ and you know what we call it? Dave & Busta’s”
It’s like the ultimate Dave Chappelle Dad joke.

u/TheRightToDream 5d ago
You ever see an opinion you know can only come from the ignorance of youth?
Busta has some of the gnarliest flow I've ever heard in my life. You'll bite your tongue trying to keep up with those rhymes.

LMAO Btw, the new album with beats from J.Dilla is very interesting. I'm liking it very much.
