Busta Rhymes Wants To Save The Music Biz

Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No it’s Trevor Smith. And he tells Billboard his next album is gonna cure all the rap game’s ills.

“I called the album ‘The Chemo’ because it seems like the industry and music overall is dying slowly,” Busta told Billboard.com of the Flipmode/Universal Motown project, slated for an early 2010 release. “The cancer that’s stricken the business is killing the music, not only from a business standpoint, but also the value of the content and the creativity behind it. I just want to start the first stage of chemotherapy treatment that needs to take place and hopefully inspire others to do their part and contribute to different stages of the cure.”

Confession: His last CD made me sick.

    busta is a feature killer, but his albums never live up to what they could be.

    C’mon Son! Bullshit famo….hes still gonna have T-Pain & or Akon or Drake or Gucci Mane on hes LP. If it was the Busta Rhymes of old talking [SEE: The Coming] then I’d might be like hmmmm okay, maybe he has something here. But its not. B.O.M.Bs was a BIG let down.

  7. p. dom says:

    man!! bus is my dude and all, but he need to relax all that talking. i remember him talking up that ”back on my bullshit” appropiately(if i spelled that wrong, my bad) acronymed ”b.o.m.b.” and that shit sucked like a newborn on a big titty. truthfully, i’m not gonna get excited for his new shit until he start working with some real producers again. sorry, but i don’t wanna hear busta on no cool and dre beats.

  8. Black London says:

    “…..i’m not gonna get excited for his new shit until he start working with some real producers again. sorry, but i don’t wanna hear busta on no cool and dre beats.”

    Mutha-Fuckin-Co-Sign!!

    No Cool & Dre

    T-Pain & or Akon or Drake or Gucci Mane.

  9. Big Mike says:

    Hopefully this Chemo album will be really good because the Back On My Bullshit album was wack. The only song I thought was good on B.O.M.B was Respect My Conglomerate. Hopefully he comes through this time.

  10. Elee says:

    Mac Diesel took the words right out of my mind. Busta needs to sit his ass down somewhere and refer right back to his last few LPs to see one of the problems plaguing hip hop. He had no problem singing on a record with Mariah so why care now? Boy bye.

  11. SilkCityP says:

    This is almost is funny Bussa Bus is saying this, b/c B.O.M.B. was the worst cd in his catalogue!! That CD was garbage!!! Especially the production!! I understand artists can’t stay stuck in the sounds of the past, but the production on B.O.M.B. was pop!!! He better bring it on this album!

  12. AMEN – Speaking of which – http://www.foodhchainmusic.com

    Ask Talib bout us. Ask HOJ about us.

  13. YouKnowMe says:

    Wheres his neck?

  14. Toya says:

    Hopefully chemo doesn’t make things worse.

  15. Riko says:

    the neptunes track on b.o.m.b. was dope tho.

  16. Ac@pella! says:

    Start with ur own career, THENNNNN try to save all of hip hop Bus…

  17. kingill89 says:

    busta rhymes is bacc on that bullshit and not in a good way he is one of them dudes that need to retire his shows aint how they use to be his album before that bullshit he just released was hot the one with Touch It and I love My Bitch that shit was hot but that Hustlers Anthem Arab Money shit need to go

    I mean the way dude hyped up Respect My Conglomerate and that shit wasnt nothin and that Linkin park song he shouldve went the route when he had that dont touch me now you might burn yaself song when he was still signed to dre now dude is coming with that bullshit nobody wanna hear that terrible t-pain collabo

    then it slike he has no side endeavors it seem like he get his label checc pay rent then get like 8 diamond chains his has a label that has not released 1 artist outside of him I mean Before Proof Died he had a CD out well Spliff Star has been busta hypeman for forever and has not had 1 cd in stores damn near 15 years no album

  18. Coolin says:

    I’m tired of all these rappers making themselves sound stupid. I mean, i understand a lot of them are feeding their ego, but it seems like they all make wildly outrageous claims:

    “This album is going to sell 10 mil!!!”
    “This album is a classic!!!”
    “Every track is a banger!!!”
    “Everybody is scared of me!!! I’m top 5!!!”
    “I’m going to save hip-hop!!!”

    …then you listen to it and it barely has a couple of decent tracks, and only sells like 200K. I know that a lot of it is just them trying to play their persona and have “swag” or whatever…but it makes them look ridiculous. A lot of dudes have lost credibility in my book.

  19. Afura says:

    If the fans start supporting real hiphop albums like Only Built For Cuban Linx 2 instead of trash like Curtis and Plies then maybe this wouldn’t be a problem.

  20. smartenupnas says:

    he reminds me of fat joe on hot 97 with angie ” i suck dick” martinez saying that his jose 2 was his best work and that that shit would save hip hop etc.
    Save your career first busta…No more ron browz now. If you didnt get the memo autone is dead!!!FOH

  21. newyorkprick says:

    @Smartenupnas…yo who’s dick she sucked son? I know q-tip use to fuck with her

  22. smartenupnas says:

    @ newyorkprick
    that dude from sisqo’s group

  23. Black London says:

    Nokio…thats hes name.

  24. jus listen says:

    hope it gon sound like anarchy

  25. RaideeyO says:

    @Black london.. in knoiw in london they call cigarettes fags. So if I called u a “fag” or “faggot” you wouldn’t be offended, right?

  26. wow says:

    THAT`S BY FAR THE STUPIEST SHIT I´VE EVER HEARD!!!! AND A SLAP IN THE FACE OF EVERYONE WHO IS SICK WITH CANCER!!! TO EVEN TRY TO PUT SOMETHING LIKE THAT A THE SAME LEVEL WITH A REAL CHEMOTHERAPY, UNBELIVABLE!!!????

    FUCK BUSTA FOR REAL! STUPID ASS IDIOT!!!

    THAT´S THE PROBLEM WITH OLDSCHOOL RAPPERS, STUPID ASS FUCK!

    HE JUST NEEDS TO FACE IT, HE´S TIME IS OVER AND THERE´S A NEW BREED IN TOWN!

    TO LEAVE WITH LUDA´S WORDS “GET OUT THE WAY BITCH!”

  27. Fact: busta helped in the killing of hip hop with “Arab Money” neeeext

  28. Toss says:

    i just hope he leaves all that formulated arab crap out this time. last one was wack. but i still have faith in him. one last chance bus…

  29. Black London says:

    “@Black london.. in knoiw in london they call cigarettes fags. So if I called u a “fag” or “faggot” you wouldn’t be offended, right?”

    What!? Bruv grow up. Whats wrong with you?

    This post is about Busta’s B.S statement, where a few of us were discussin who Angie Martinez had her baby by…..then you wanna go and type that out of the blue.

    Grow up.

  30. RaideeyO says:

    just answer the question… are you afraid?

  31. eightysbaby says:

    Someone tell Bus to get off the Roids and STFU.

    I seen Bus live in January, he’s still one of the greatest performers in hip-hop PERIOD but his last few albums have been shit bricks

    Dont save hip-hop, just be quiet

  32. Black London says:

    Was that a serious question!? Bwoy!

    If it was then no cant call heads faggots/fags over here unless they’re actually faggots. Fag is just a common name for cigarette…like college is a common name for university in the US.

  33. RaideeyO says:

    @Black London… You still didn’t answer.. Would you be offended if I called you a fag?

  34. AK says:

    He does understand that chemo involves dumping toxic chemicals into the body, right?

    Is he suggesting that his album will be a dose of poison to the body of the rap game?

    Do these guys even fucking think about what they’re saying?
