(From Do The Busabus Pt. 2 single; 2024)
Forget what the song title says, this is Busta's equivalent of Mystikal's Hit Me in a Do The Bus a Bus sequel's clothing. Very unexpected turn of events where LL Cool J, Kurious and Busta are dropping some of my favourite Rap songs of 2024. That Greg Nice saxobeat-core song from a few months back was cool too.
**EDIT** a video for this single just dropped with Busta wearing an outfit which looks like it was crocheted by my aunty Liz. More importantly, I just found out that Busta's song was inspired by this amazing 1983 TV clip set to Do It Any Way You Wanna by People's Choice. One day later it all makes sense. I'm guessing this video is some real everlasting Black History™?
(From The Chicago Party TV show; 1983)
tha dogg pound album from earlier this year is another solid old man rap album
ReplyDeleteBig fan of Favorite Color Blue off the new Dogg Pound.
ReplyDeleteMystikal got the holy ghost of James Brown.
ReplyDeleteMystikal also caught JB's holy ghost on his song with Mark Ronson.
ReplyDeleteHere's some Busta Rhymes/LL Cool J synergy for dat ass:

Better than anything that's ever happened on the British version of The Masked Singer.
ReplyDeleteNot that I've ever watched the British version of The Masked Singer.
But still.
Nice visuals, right in time for prime BBQ weather in NY.
ReplyDeleteAlso, is it time to discuss Busta's place in NY's pantheon of top rappers? He's been consistenly dropping great songs since the early 90's, maybe the NY rapper with the longest (relevant - nobody's listening to KRS' wack new shit) longevity?
ReplyDeleteLL has him beat on the longevity tip since he debuted in 1984 and just dropped an album with a buncha jams on there.
ReplyDeleteBusta's definitely one of N.Y's most dependable on the single tip tho for sure.
Yeah Busta kinda had a similar career trajectory to LL. Has probably 3-4 albums I enjoy front to back and the rest is spotty but has gems.
DeleteThere's something comforting about a fun new Busta single with Spliff Star playing sidekick in the video.
ReplyDeleteIt's a goddamn shame that Mystikal figured out the perfect formula for a late career renaissance and then went to jail again because I guess he simply can't stop being a piece of shit rapist. Such a waste of talent
ReplyDeleteRealest comment of the year.
