    smh wow

  3. Ink says:

    1) Does this qualify as a “You Played Yourself”?
    2) Did Young Money and Cash Money become the same company, YMCMB? Or is Young Money still under Cash Money?

  4. KICKA says:

    THIS NEGGAH MUMBLES ON TRACKS ON SOME TETE TATA DEDA DADA SH!T………. NIGGAH SOUNDS LIKE THE LEPRECHAUN FROM SIMPSONS

  5. Teejay says:

    ^i think ymcb is like when 50 signed to shady/aftermath. It’s a joint venture, shady is a subsidiary of aftermath but both made the deal.

  6. foekist says:

    Damn Busta… back in the day you was tha man Busta- fuck happened to you?

  7. YouKnowMe says:

    Busta is like that dude in the hood thats been selling dirt weed for 20 years, he’ll never graduate to cocaine.

    You sign to a n!gga thats sign to a n!gga

  8. antonio says:

  9. Rajon chrondo says:

    iI bet busta disdnt see this coming back in 94

  10. Y U MAD says:

    Its official Birdman the last moguel standing!!! He outgunned Suge Knight, Puff, Master P, Irv Gotti, Dame and Jay Z’s labels. Thats some serious hustla shit right here. This is obviously a Win Win Lose situation: YMCMB win, Busta Rhymes win and Hater lose, as simple as that. Haters bow down and kiss the ring, these niggas are not letting lose anytime soon. Either you cosign and live with it, or you stay bitter and die slow. Moolah krazy, YMCMB is a way of life- shining on some uptown shit brurrr brurr *Birdman rub hands*. #YMCMB

  13. mac DIESEL fanbase says:

    ^

    Remember the 2 black dudes and 1 black dude on the XXL cover some years ago ?
    Theyre still doing it.
    Guess you just forgot to mention them….

  14. mac DIESEL fanbase says:

    yea agree, vhingrhamesonyo’momma

  15. NOVA says:

    wow…..i agree 9,000 percent (minus all the mean stuff about his age) that vhingrhamesonyo’momma………………BUSTA…YOU ARE A LEGEND……WHAT THE F*CK ARE YOU SIGNING TO or even coming UP UNDER any other umbrella AT THIS STAGE of your career?!?!

    I can’t even fathom………this is just a big backwards step…..he should have BEEN making larger moves…..i know the google music and violator moves they are doing….but….come on now……This man has been around TOO LONG for him to need Cash Money for relevance.

    YOU ARE LEGEND BUSTA…..it’s time to make moves like one.

  16. The Prophet says:

    Busta is done. At this point in his career, he should be a boss or have enough stashed away to where if it came to this point, he could gracefully bow out. Its like the older dude on the block hanging out with high school kids to make themselves feel cool again.

  17. vhingrhamesonyo'momma says:

    co-sign Nova and The prophet.

    ————-

    *DEAD*

    Busta looks like a clown ridin the whole YMCMB wave.

  19. Santa says:

    Everyone saying he needs to be making moves, have you ever considered that he just likes making music and wants nothing more? Not everyone has to own a company, Busta might not want the stress that comes with that and will stick to what he knows

    damn

  20. The Real Truth says:

    Busta washed up smh, if Dre couldnt make him pop, it’s a wrap for him….and Baby riding that YM coat tail hard…. Cash Money as a label is trash…. YM is the label that has all the talent with Drake, Nicki, Wayne, ect……Cash Money is the label that has the Glasses Malone, Bow Wow, ect…..its kinda like how Def Jam use to try to ride Rocafella, but Dame wont having it….. Wayne to much of a bitch to separate it like Dame did…..and to @Y U Mad….. Jay & Puff still make more money then Baby….lol

  21. mac DIESEL fanbase says:

    @ Santa

    With 8 albums in and being in the game for such a long time, are you kidding?
    Ur right not everyone has to own a company but u can get good money without owning a goddamn company.

    And he does look like a pedo between these people.

  22. Subtly says:

    @Y U MAD
    Bird Shit is that U?

  23. The Real Truth says:

    @Santa Busta has his own company (Conglomerate) and no label wants to pick it up, thats why he “HAS” to sign with someone….. I mean how many different crews do u have to fail with before ppl get the message…. Busta only good for singles, hasnt made a good album since the early 2000′s at best….. sorry and I use to be a Busta fan smh

  24. Calligrafist says:

    Peep The Biggie Patchwork T Busta Had On ???

    Fire Right ???

    MADE BY PAPER BROWN BAG: http//Paperbrownbag.com
    @PaperBrownBag

    Check Em Out !

  25. m1 says:

    hey santa u dick head busta owned a label all ready flip mode squad he had artist that put out albums.he should be bossed up like hov and diddy he been in the game since 1990!!!!!!!to sign with these guys will make no one money.they cant make him relevent baby not even relevent as an artist he dont sell records for his own albums them shits flop.busta lossed fans years ago.his failure to boss up has and will cost him.

  26. Time4SumAction says:

    busta is on cash money w Birdman and any other older rappers like mac 10 and glasses malone. They won’t let him filter down to the honeypot of young money- wayne, drake, nikki. he will get a wayne joint though i’m sure. This is a better move for Busta than going to Bad Boy or one of those other clown labels.

  27. wickwickwack says:

    busta sitting next to that bird . i almost threw up
    another big hip hop chapter closed

  28. 50 Cent says:

    Damn homie in high school u was the man homie, what the fuck happen to u?

  29. COLD MEMORIES says:

    BUSTA RHYMES IS IRRELEVANT!

    YOU CAN HATE ME NOW!

  30. The Truth says:

    There are some kids that have no clue who Busta was in the 90s and early 2000′s. All they they know him from is “Look At Me Now”. Its kind of like he a 40 yr old new artist (Jay Electronica) lmfao… YM stans gonna think he the greatest rapper of all time.

  31. Smoke screen says:

    Yall really think bossing a relevant is an easy task??? Smh he couldnt do it with his label and nigga got a family to feed…just stfu already analysing what you dont know shit about.

  32. The Truth says:

    I can’t wait to see Busta and Spiff Star rockin their YMCMB shirts. RETIRE BUSTA BUSS!

  33. Young Nigga says:

    Busta is a slave ass nigga

  34. venttruth says:

    at least he didn’t sign to Maybach Music. but still, he should just retire. the only thing we’ll be seeing from Busta now is more “Arab money” type of shit.

  35. m1 says:

    @smoke screen shut yo bitch ass up jack ass

  36. ZoomZoomDad-Otis says:

    lol@”Busta is like that dude in the hood thats been selling dirt weed for 20 years, he’ll never graduate to cocaine.”

    Linking up with that Cash Money means you picked a side. “The 10 Best Subliminals of 2011 (So Far) #6 – #3″ http://www.kidswastingtime.com/2011/11/10-best-subliminals-of-2011-so-far-6-3.html

    *dead*

  39. bylaw99 says:

    Busta signing to YMCMB is like Snoop signing to Black Wall Street! Azz backwards is what it is!

  40. Get Real says:

    @The Real Truth Outside Eminem who else has Dr. Dre made hot in the 2000s?

    Idk about this move for Busta. But I will say his addition makes the YMCM roster that much stronger. I just hope he doesn’t switch up his style and in his deal he worked out something for his crew, mostly Reek cuz Spliff been dead. At some point tho YMCM is gonna have to start dropping acts b/c all these artists ain’t gonna get the shine time they want.

    And from Busta’s body language it seems like this move is something that bothered him but at the end of the day music is a competitive sport and you gotta play to win even if that means you’re ego/legacy may take a hit sometimes. Shit, Nas had to work for Hov at one point in his career to get back in the limelight. It is what it is.

  41. bylaw99 says:

    I repeat Busta signing to YMCMB is like Snoop signing to Black Wall Street! Azz backwards is what it is!

  42. JMillionaire says:

    @Get Real THE GAME

  43. ALGORYTHMBEATZ says:

    what the #$%k is wrong with yall…do yall know whats about to happen? just sit back and watch…nothing more to say…..

  44. Fuck Ya Life says:

    Everybody knows how busta got gangsta after signin to the math so what happens after signin to cash money? How long before he wavin red rag out the right side.

  45. m1 says:

    ALGORYTHMBEATZ yeah we gonna watch the same shit nothing u dumb ass crack head bitch

  46. Get Real says:

    @JMillionaire 50 made The Game hot. Dre couldn’t do anything w/ him and asked 50 to make Game the featured west coast artist for G-Unit. In the end Jayceon would prove he would only need one shot @ fame to do his own thing. So Game’s success doesn’t belong to Dre. Try again.

  47. Micke says:

    Theese cats are gonna drag hiphop down the fucking shitter, EVERYTHING they drop is pure garbage. I mean, Lil Wayne ? Busta ? Minaj ? etc,…
    Fuck this shit.

    Aftermath Ent / Shady Records >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> YM

  48. joe nasty says:

    yall trippin. this is a good move for busta. YMCMB gets a lot of attention whether or not they deserve it. busta will be nice either way.

  49. HowUAct? says:

    @ Get Real

    Game hasn’t really sold like that after beefin w/ 50 & for Cash Money to ‘supposedly’ pay him more would be insane. His last album was cool, the ones before that & after the DOCUMENTARY was just audio gossip columns. He has potential but he can’t stay focused for shiiiiiii. DJ Khaled was doing platinum B-4 Cash Money. His latest one had a #1 platinum song & still probably aint went gold. People are tired of Cash Money. Plus Wayne already bitchin with Khaled over sone bogus luke situation. Cash Money needs to drop half their line up.
    Busta running with them is as akward as when Snoop went with No Limit.
