1.(Intro) - A funny intro, kind of hard to hear the so called "kid."
2.(It Ain't Safe No More) - The lyrics are superb, the beat will have to take some getting used to. 3/5
3.(What Can You Do When Your Branded) - Good lyrics, good chorus, good beat. 5/5
4.(Call the Ambulance) - The beat is something your can bob your head too, good flows by Busta and other guy, I don't know who he is. 5/5
5.(We Goin to Do It to Ya) - Good beat, good flows, good chorus.
6.(What Up) - Hmm....., this one here has a beat that you would get tired of, even though it's lets than 3 minutes, but again Busta has good lyrics, bad beat, ok chorus. 2.5/5
7.(Turn Me Up Some) - Mellow beat, has Redman in the background, but Busta raps in an annoying way, you might get tired of it, but agian, good lyrics, an ok beat, chorus hmmm..... 2.5/5
8.(Make It Clap) - I dont even need to expalin this, good song, Spliff Star shuts this s**t down also. 5/5
9.(Take It Off Part 2) - If your like me, then you will also be tired of a lot of rappers using "Indian" style beats, but it's tight, tight lyrics, tight song. 3.5/5
10.(Taste It) - Good beat, kind of a vulgar song, but who cares,
11.(Hey Ladies) - This song is also one of the best, good beat, excellent lyrics, a chorus that'll get stuck in your head, good song. 5/5
12.(I Know What You Want) - Some guys might think this is one of the weakest songs on here, buts it's not. It's a pretty good song features the Flipmode Squad and Mariah Carey, good beat, good lyrics, good song. 4.5/5
13.(Riot) - This song was a let down, the name makes you think of something wild and crazy, but it's not, beat is boo-boo, lyrics help this song a lot. 2.5/5
14.(Hop) - This song is a excellent, I think it should be his next single, it does wanna make you wanna hop, good beat, good lyrics, good song. 5/5
15.(Together) - This song is tight, not bad, not the best, but one you could listen too. 3.5/5
16.(Struttin Like a G.O.D.) - This beat is sweet as hell, the lyirics are good, just a plain good song. 4/5
17.(Struggle Will Be Lost) - The chorus is way too long and tedious, but the the beat is not that bad, lyrics again help this song. 3.5/5
18.(Till It's Gone) - Well this is just me, I don't like songs about rappers and other artists singing about their early life (Except Eminem, he does it the best), but this beat is ugh, lyrics can't help it, it is probably the worst song on here.
19.(Make I Clap Remix) - This is just as good as the first, except Sean Paul f**ked this s**t up, if he was only in the chorus it would have been better than the first, but nooooo, he had to have a verse to "rap" his lyrics you can't understand. But again Spliff Star, in my opinion, did better in this one than the original. 5/5
All in all Busta Rhymes has another platinum CD coming, go and buy this today, it is worth your precious time and money.
Busta rhymes.one of the most TALENTED, the most UNIQUE, the most CRAZY mc out there. Seriously, this album is a heavy hitter. busta comes back again with a banger of an album. Garunteed every song on this LP will make you bounce. busta unique form of rhyming, and his random outburst is what makes this album insane! Tracks like "call an ambulance" (neptunes produced) and "make it calp remix" with sean paul and spliff star and garuntted to make you wild out! busta has really brought it this time with the lyrical flow. I give this album 5 star's because it is one of the most versatile albums that iv'e ever heard. Congrats to busta, for making such a wikid album. RESPECT!
I've read some of the reviews on this album. And sorry, but i DISAGREE.
Firstly; I am a huge Busta fan. I aint gonna sit here and rap on bout how many albums i have or how much irrelevant information i have about him. The fact is this album is a big STEP BACK from his last album: Genesis.
There is definately something missing in the production of this album. It feels RUSHED. so many of the tracks could have been huge had there been a little extra bass, a better vocal, a tighter beat, etc. Never has a rapper of such quality been made to look so ordinary by an album.
It has its moments. 'Make it clap' will be tearing up clubs for a long time. As will 'I know what you want', which is a great track featuring Mariah Carey. 'Hop' and 'Hey Ladies' are also good tunes. But the rest, i am sorry to say, is well BELOW BUSTAS STANDARDS.
I am totally open to other peoples views on music, and i can understand when some1 disagrees with me. Thats their opinion.
But how can you listen to this album and not be disapointed! The Beats are average and BASIC! Listen to tracks 2, 5, 7, 10, 13 and 16. listen to Genesis. Now tell me these beats aint fraud!
I aint no producer, but compare this album to the other new hip hop albums out. eg. Eveolution, paid tha cost to be da bo$$, God's Son, under construction, get rich or die trying, etc. This album can't step to any of these albums. Busta should be destroyin these acts man. He is way better than this. I know Busta is known for breaking boundaries, but DIFFERENT AINT ALWAYS A GOOD THING.
What makes this album such a letdown is the fact that it had so much potential. It was gonna send out a warning to the hip hop world- 'it aint safe no more'. 2 b honest, i am much more convinced when Snoop Dogg says on his new album 'I aint takin' no orders no more'. At least the quality of his album backs him up.
The album gets 1 star for the few tunes that were up 2 Bustas standards. And it gets a second star cos i know he can still spit. Busta is one of the greatest rappers of all time. The quality of his rapping on the album is still high. But the production is so poor that whatever Busta does on the mic is irrelevant.
If the album is to go platinum, it'll be cos of the name on the package. If it was some1 else, it wouldnt make s%£t.
My advice- clearly the album is popular judging by what peeps r saying on the site. But listen to the whole album before you buy. I wish I had.
i love busta, but this cd just didnt do anything for me. i couldnt get into the songs and i was left wondering what happened to busta. only cop it if you are a die hard busta fan.
rating C+
This album choked! All of the song [...]. The beats are softer than Ja Rule. Busta doesn't even have his fast rhymin skills anymore. the only song I liked was "Make It Clap" W/ Spliff Star. I gotta give Busta some props, though. He fooled everyone into thinking that this album was good. He put the only good song on the album as the single. [...]
