DITC: Busta Rhymes - Genesis

[jono]

The beginning of the end for Busta. It was just aight as an album but As I Come Back is my shit forever, so is Break ya Neck.

I think that it ain't safe no more bullshit came right after this

 

[Lou Cypher]

Woooo look at them producers.

 

[Stew]

First day cop, thought it was just OK at first. It grew on me a little more throughout the years. Ill throw it in the deck every now and then. One of my fav Busta joints of all time came from this album. 3.5/5 mics

 

[jono]

The joint with Kelis is flames too. I first heard it on the Violator album which made me buy this.

That was the lead single.

 

[lazypakman]

so the dude who produced "Betta Stay Up in Your House" was formerly a member of Cru?

did not know that....that's probably my favorite beat off the album.

 

[KingFreeman]

Dope

 

[KneeGro_DuperMan]

Good album

 

[_Goldie_]

I keep this joint in rotation

 

[ojos_negros]

S' alright. I gotta be in a certain frame of mind to listen to bus but yeah not bad

Went downhill quick after this if I remember right

 

[lazypakman]

so this is a lesser album than 'The Big Bang?'

 

[VIKINGSALLDAY]

These tracks still get played from time to time.

Wife in law


Genesis


As I come back

 

[5 Grand]

You could put together a GOAT Busta Rhymes Greatest Hits CD. But honestly, I have a hard time listening to him rap for an entire album. I think he has too much energy for me. But having said that, these are some of my favorite Busta joints

1. Case of The PTA (Leaders Of The New School)

2. Scenario (A Tribe Called Quest)

3. C'mon With The Get Down (Artifacts)

4. What's Next (Leaders of The New School)

5. Flavor In Your Ear (Remix)

6. 95 Live Freestyle

7. Woo Hah

8. Ill Vibe

9. Summer Jam 96 Flip Mode Freestyle

10. Put Your Hands Where My Eyes Can See

11. Dangerous

12. One (feat Erykah Badu)

13. Gimmie Some More

14. Cha Cha Cha (Flipmode Squad)

15. Everybody on the Line Outside (Flipmode Squad)

16. Pass the Courvoisier (P Diddy)

17. I Know What You Want (feat Mariah Carey)

18. In The Ghetto (feat Rick James)

19. Touch It

Not sure if these would all fit on one CD, but I'd say this tracklist would be as good as a Nas/Jay/Pac/Big Greatest hits CD

 

[Stew]

so this is a lesser album than 'The Big Bang?'

Easily

 

[Broddie]

Last decent joint he put out to this day. Dilla, Dre, Neptunes and Mel-Man's contributions made that album.

 

[Broddie]

so this is a lesser album than 'The Big Bang?'

I'd say Big Bang is more unbalanced and because of that it's actually worse. Such an overrated album.

 

[gns]

Loved it when it came out, can still bump it today.

As a young cat listening to that bitch talk on wife in law.....O-o...I was like damn.

Fux with it heavy, liked the original version of pass the courvosier(sp) better.

Remembered my homeboy and i driving roun bumping this and almost crashed. Dude said it was the first time he actually listened to busta in his life and zoned out.

Not saying bussa buss lyrics r the greatest, dude just was used to the rah-rah over beats ish.

 

[Broddie]

liked the original version of pass the courvosier(sp) better.

Yeah I remember being disappointed when they released the video and it was a new softer version. Too polished and commercial (which is why they made it I'm sure) but nowhere as hype as the original one.

 

[Built 4 cuban linx]

Nah, big bang is better

 

[lazypakman]

so this is a lesser album than 'The Big Bang?'

I'd say Big Bang is more unbalanced and because of that it's actually worse. Such an overrated album.

it is arguably his most polarizing album.one of those albums where the hype made it seem a lot better than it was and the producers did a better job than he did.

although I would say the highs on that record are better than the ones on genesis.

you can't hold the torch >
