I agree with AJ when he says that this is the best hip hop album out this year. I liked LL, Ghostface, PE and Ice Cubes contributions but there was a certain consistency missing in them to make a well rounded album. I wasnt much of a Busta Rhymes fan before this, I liked the hits and singles but I never really bought an album. But I bought this album and loved it! So heres my first track by track review- GET YOU SOME -The album starts off with a slightly above average Dre production. Busta takes up the level of the song with some dope lines.As AJ said Q-Tip and Marsha didn't really add anything special to the track--3.5/5 TOUCH IT - Y'all know this one! Its good for the club, I guess but after hearing this track everywhere from radio, to partys and not to mention the countless remixes I usally skip it. But its good for a few listens --3/5 HOW WE DO IT OVER HERE - I don't like this track. THis beat is annoying and lyrically Missy and Busta don't do anything special.--2/5 NEW YORK $#!+ - The production is dope,one might even say classic! Busta lines are pretty good but I think I wish he brought a little something more lyrically. Guest appearances on this track would have been on point, veterans representing good east coast hip-hop (Rakim,Slick Rick, KRS....maybe even Nas). Definitely remix worthy. Hip hops going bach to the east!!--4/5 BEEN THROUGH THE STORM -This song contains all the elements of a perfect hip hop song- amazing lyrics, dope flow, dope beat and a mind blowing hook!--4.5/5 IN THE GHETTO - Yet another great song! I love the beat and Bustas flow is crazy! And I was blown away by the sample of Rick James crooning "Ghetto life". Never mind who you thought I was....Im Rick James bitch!! :willvspaparazzi: :rofl: --4.5/5 COCAINA - A good track, Dre comes correct but I don't really feel the song topic much.--3/5 YOU CAN'T HOLD THE TORCH - Yet another good song, it personally didn't blow me away or anthing but Q-Tip and Busta drop some good rhymes and the prduction is pretty good.--3.5/5 GOLDMINE - Busta and the chef rock a techinically perfect piano beat the way it should be.--4/5 I LOVE MY CHICK/B!+CH - The song is kinda annoying and the dirty version is rather crude and degrading. But I guess the clean version can get some radio play.--2.5/5 DON'T GET CARRIED AWAY - The beat isn't anything special, I wasn't impressed by Dres contribution on this one.Busta drops some good lines but me being a big Nas fan feel as though Nasty stole the show. "Im a Martyr, my entrance ur departure"--3/5 THEY'RE OUT TO GET ME - Nice beat (courtesy of D12s Kon Artis) and hook, but I usually skip this one because I can't relate to the subject much.--3/5 GET DOWN - This is why I was slightly apprehensive of buying a Busta album....he can be seriously wierd. But I guess its a fun track--2.5/5 I'LL DO IT ALL - A respectful, R&B tinged love song.Up-tempo with a nice hook.-- 3.5/5 LEGEND OF THE FALL OFFS - Dark, almost creepy beat of a shovel digging a grave...I love stuff like this.Dr.Dre reuses the sample of the female vocals on Rakims unreleased "After u die". This topic is very relevant with rap cats losing the fire they had early on in their careers.--4/5 So overall- 8.5/10 Definately recommended.

Kid N' Play - Got a good thing going on

JJFP-I cant wait to be with u(remix)

Thanks for the uploads Hero1!God Bless you! Theres a lotta stuff I always wanted.

After giving it a few lstens I must say its a good album!It really does grow on you, I give it an 8/10.

Special Busta Rhymes "Touch It" (Remix) feat. DMX & FuQ FuQs verse is cravy, the beat really suits him.Good job man!

In no specific order: Brand New Funk Shadow Dreams Twinkle Twinkle Summertime I wanna Rock Tell me Why Just Cruisin' Born to Reign The Rain Afro Angel But it is really unfair to limit all the best in a mere ten songs!

Da Ace- Extra Extra

I loved it! I think I'll probably buy some of their other stuff if I can find it.

Cool Clip! :gettinjiggywitit: Thanks :2thumbs:

:gettinjiggywitit: I loved the first mixtape, but then again it was more like every song was packed with clever punchlines and complex rhyme schemes but they had no real topics apart from a few songs (South Bronx, Bonita Applebaum and a couple more). So I think it was a wise move for you to focus on the message more this time around, I'll give this a listen and post my feedback. :2thumbs:

That is Chris Rocks style.He always makes very serious observations and adds a little comedy to it.

Thanks! I'll download!

:rofl: :rofl: Thanks for that!

Snoop Dogg- 21 Jump Street This beat is so smoooth!

Hmmm...I wonder if that was the only post Kel is ever gonna make.

Nas feat Quan- A moment of Silence :davidblaine:

That was a cool read.Great story tellin' track!I loved it!
