Tribe. I've never been able to listen to a whole Busta album. He's too much to take for a non stop hour.
Almost unparalleled 10 year run of singles though.

Re: The Coming vs. Beats, Rhymes & Life
I’m one of those who can only tolerate Busta in small doses. The Coming had a few really dope tracks and the production was solid for the most part, but BR&L is one of those albums that was so much better than most initially thought. It’s unfair to compare it to the 3 previous ATCQ release. The group was slowly growing apart, but it’s a fucking really good album. It’s the first time we really heard what Tip and Dilla could do together as a team on an entire album. Tip really held it down on the first half of the album. Tip on Get A Hold and Phife on The Hop immediately stand out. Not a classic and not an album that I listened to as much as MM or LET, but if this album dropped in 2017, we’d all cream our pants.

Re: The Coming vs. Beats, Rhymes & Life

Re: The Coming vs. Beats, Rhymes & Life
Love Busta and that is my favorite album of his, but as stated here, I can only take so much of him and it is in small doses for sure.
I think BR&L is a flawed album, but when it is on, it is really good. I don't like the idea of Consequence on the album, but at the same time I like pretty much every verse he kicks and he injected some youth into mix at the time. It's also memories and feelings related. Summer 96 was my last summer before college and the last summer of just chilling all day and night with a boom box, playing ball, drinking 40's and smoking blunts. IWW and BR&L were a huge part of the soundtrack.
Both albums bring me back and I'm gonna bump that Busta joint on the train tomorrow.

Re: The Coming vs. Beats, Rhymes & Life
to add on I agree for the most part Busta is unbearable... but this album was straight cinema... front to back
BRL was cool and underrated too but some of the shit busta was spitting on this album was hilarious and so dope and his flow was untouched... outside of the fact that he bit Red/Dare iz a Darkside this album is fucking RETARDED and I don't even think he meant to bite it... Do My Thing is lyrically insane people don't even get it... I'm high and rambling respect
oh edit the begin where he says some shit like "to all the niggas that fell the fuck off... keep falling" is hilarious
busta's flow is really mind blowing on a revisionist level... many spit better but not many really had a flow like him outside of again maybe Red the way he did it... first... hence why Red's the goat... but that's another thing

Can we all agree that the coming is busta's only somewhat listenable album?
Re: The Coming vs. Beats, Rhymes & Life

Re: The Coming vs. Beats, Rhymes & Life
every busta album has had it's moments... it's hot fiyah moments and corny gay moments as well... I think the coming is probably the only album he got it right front to back but i'd honestly have to go back and listen to it in full again... i'm sure there's a dud somewhere along the way... the best word I could use to sum up busta's career I guess would be confused... but I think a lot of rappers can fall under this category... they come from the battle scene... the real roots of hip hop.. they were backpacking all around Roosevelt... and then they're selling their ass for a play... so who knowsGUCCI CONDOMS wrote:Can we all agree that the coming is busta's only somewhat listenable album?

Woo Hah
Put Your Hands...
Turn It Up/Fire It Up
Tear The Roof Off
Gimme Some More
Pass The Courvoisier remix
Break Ya Neck
Make It Clap
I Know What You Want (terrible but was huge)
Touch It
New York Shit
+ Scenario, Flava In Ya Ear, Ante Up remixes, and the hooks on Rampage's 'Wild For Da Night', Biggie 'Victory' etc.
You needed all those records if you were DJing. I had them, but never bought one of his albums.
The only other person doing it like that for that period was probably Jay Z

NY State of Mind is a classic. Mass Appeal is classic. Award Tour is classic. Ain't No Fun is classic.
It's A Party is a cute. Same tier as Up In Here or Oh Boy. Cute party tracks. Let's save the classic talk for when it warrants it.

especially if Touch It and Gimme Some More count.
Re: The Coming vs. Beats, Rhymes & Life
Club classic and Hip Hop classic are 2 different things though, although not mutually exclusive.
The list of Busta singles was all club joints.
