1.(Intro) - A funny intro, kind of hard to hear the so called "kid."

2.(It Ain't Safe No More) - The lyrics are superb, the beat will have to take some getting used to. 3/5

3.(What Can You Do When Your Branded) - Good lyrics, good chorus, good beat. 5/5

4.(Call the Ambulance) - The beat is something your can bob your head too, good flows by Busta and other guy, I don't know who he is. 5/5

5.(We Goin to Do It to Ya) - Good beat, good flows, good chorus.
5/5

6.(What Up) - Hmm....., this one here has a beat that you would get tired of, even though it's lets than 3 minutes, but again Busta has good lyrics, bad beat, ok chorus. 2.5/5

7.(Turn Me Up Some) - Mellow beat, has Redman in the background, but Busta raps in an annoying way, you might get tired of it, but agian, good lyrics, an ok beat, chorus hmmm..... 2.5/5

8.(Make It Clap) - I dont even need to expalin this, good song, Spliff Star shuts this s**t down also. 5/5

9.(Take It Off Part 2) - If your like me, then you will also be tired of a lot of rappers using "Indian" style beats, but it's tight, tight lyrics, tight song. 3.5/5

10.(Taste It) - Good beat, kind of a vulgar song, but who cares,
good lyrics, good beat. 4.5/5

11.(Hey Ladies) - This song is also one of the best, good beat, excellent lyrics, a chorus that'll get stuck in your head, good song. 5/5

12.(I Know What You Want) - Some guys might think this is one of the weakest songs on here, buts it's not. It's a pretty good song features the Flipmode Squad and Mariah Carey, good beat, good lyrics, good song. 4.5/5

13.(Riot) - This song was a let down, the name makes you think of something wild and crazy, but it's not, beat is boo-boo, lyrics help this song a lot. 2.5/5

14.(Hop) - This song is a excellent, I think it should be his next single, it does wanna make you wanna hop, good beat, good lyrics, good song. 5/5

15.(Together) - This song is tight, not bad, not the best, but one you could listen too. 3.5/5

16.(Struttin Like a G.O.D.) - This beat is sweet as hell, the lyirics are good, just a plain good song. 4/5

17.(Struggle Will Be Lost) - The chorus is way too long and tedious, but the the beat is not that bad, lyrics again help this song. 3.5/5

18.(Till It's Gone) - Well this is just me, I don't like songs about rappers and other artists singing about their early life (Except Eminem, he does it the best), but this beat is ugh, lyrics can't help it, it is probably the worst song on here.
1/5

19.(Make I Clap Remix) - This is just as good as the first, except Sean Paul f**ked this s**t up, if he was only in the chorus it would have been better than the first, but nooooo, he had to have a verse to "rap" his lyrics you can't understand. But again Spliff Star, in my opinion, did better in this one than the original. 5/5

All in all Busta Rhymes has another platinum CD coming, go and buy this today, it is worth your precious time and money.

This is certainly not a bad album, but it is merely disappointing, as it does not meet the high expectations Busta's 3 previous album have set. Both singles off the album (namely, "Make it Clap" and "I Know What You Want") are easy on the ear and pretty nice. "Call the Ambulance" is a complete banger, the last 4 tracks of the album are very original and extremely enjoyable (one of them is even serious, personal and retrospective). However, these are all the album highlights. In all the other tracks, Busta Rhymes has gone into experimentations with beats, rapping strategies and collaborations. Sadly none of them work. There are vast discrepancies between the pace of the beat and the pace of the vocals on particular tracks. Certain collaborations on the album fail to expose Busta's unique style. Some of the songs are too analogous in terms of vocals and content. Still, as I said above, there are about 7 excellent tracks on this album, if that seems to be worth the money, there is no reason, why you should not own this album. But to me this album is still rather misleading on my expectations.

This has to be considered one of Busta's best efforts since he became a solo artist. If you were like me, and disappointed with Busta's recent releases, this album is sure to make you a fan of his once again. You won't regret buying this album.

Busta rhymes.one of the most TALENTED, the most UNIQUE, the most CRAZY mc out there. Seriously, this album is a heavy hitter. busta comes back again with a banger of an album. Garunteed every song on this LP will make you bounce. busta unique form of rhyming, and his random outburst is what makes this album insane! Tracks like "call an ambulance" (neptunes produced) and "make it calp remix" with sean paul and spliff star and garuntted to make you wild out! busta has really brought it this time with the lyrical flow. I give this album 5 star's because it is one of the most versatile albums that iv'e ever heard. Congrats to busta, for making such a wikid album. RESPECT!

Busta ryhmes cd is a refreshing and great end to a so-so year in hip-hop music. This album is one of the few masterful albums to come out this year without all the hype of collaborations. Busta does most of this album himself, and does it well of tightly laced beats and well placed lyrics. The few collaborations he does are done well. Stand out tracks are: Make It Clap (Remix) (featuring Sean Paul), Take It Off Part 2 , Struttin' Like A G.O.D, We Goin' To Do It To Ya (tight track), I Know What You Want.

I've read some of the reviews on this album. And sorry, but i DISAGREE.

Firstly; I am a huge Busta fan. I aint gonna sit here and rap on bout how many albums i have or how much irrelevant information i have about him. The fact is this album is a big STEP BACK from his last album: Genesis.

There is definately something missing in the production of this album. It feels RUSHED. so many of the tracks could have been huge had there been a little extra bass, a better vocal, a tighter beat, etc. Never has a rapper of such quality been made to look so ordinary by an album.

It has its moments. 'Make it clap' will be tearing up clubs for a long time. As will 'I know what you want', which is a great track featuring Mariah Carey. 'Hop' and 'Hey Ladies' are also good tunes. But the rest, i am sorry to say, is well BELOW BUSTAS STANDARDS.

I am totally open to other peoples views on music, and i can understand when some1 disagrees with me. Thats their opinion.

But how can you listen to this album and not be disapointed! The Beats are average and BASIC! Listen to tracks 2, 5, 7, 10, 13 and 16. listen to Genesis. Now tell me these beats aint fraud!

I aint no producer, but compare this album to the other new hip hop albums out. eg. Eveolution, paid tha cost to be da bo$$, God's Son, under construction, get rich or die trying, etc. This album can't step to any of these albums. Busta should be destroyin these acts man. He is way better than this. I know Busta is known for breaking boundaries, but DIFFERENT AINT ALWAYS A GOOD THING.

What makes this album such a letdown is the fact that it had so much potential. It was gonna send out a warning to the hip hop world- 'it aint safe no more'. 2 b honest, i am much more convinced when Snoop Dogg says on his new album 'I aint takin' no orders no more'. At least the quality of his album backs him up.

The album gets 1 star for the few tunes that were up 2 Bustas standards. And it gets a second star cos i know he can still spit. Busta is one of the greatest rappers of all time. The quality of his rapping on the album is still high. But the production is so poor that whatever Busta does on the mic is irrelevant.

If the album is to go platinum, it'll be cos of the name on the package. If it was some1 else, it wouldnt make s%Łt.

My advice- clearly the album is popular judging by what peeps r saying on the site. But listen to the whole album before you buy. I wish I had.

It's disappointing to report, but, for possibly the first time in his career, Trevor "Busta Rhymes" Smith might have overstepped his mark.

Less than a year since his first record for J, 'Genesis', posited a rebirth, 'It Ain't Safe No More' feels rushed. Busta's sixth LP since his pioneering but under appreciated group Leaders of the New School broke up doesn't start where 'Genesis' left off. Rather, Busta seems to be taking some steps backwards.

The constant round of cameo appearances he made in the dying days of his relationship with Elektra had seemed to dilute his larger-than-life essence, commodifying and de-valuing a vocalist whose talents always seemed more suited to the short sharp shock of singles than the longer-form hard work of albums. But 'Genesis', arguably his best LP, changed all that, and saw Busta focussing on his strengths - an angular, spittle-flecked flow, and an immaculate choice in beats that would stretch him, and hip hop itself.

By contrast, 'It Ain't Safe No More', despite the title, seems to be Busta on autopilot, operating at well within his own considerable parameters. The Gothic scores and baroque flourishes that flesh out 'What Do You Do When You're Branded' are tricks he's used in the past; 'We Goin' To Do It To Ya' is a retread of the genuinely different, next-level 'Put Your Hands Where My Eyes Can See', while 'Taste It' cribs from the Knight Rider-sampling 'Turn It Up/Fire It Up'. Where the production is more conventional, Busta begins to sound like the competition, notably Redman on the partially effective title track.

That said, this is a far from bad LP. But Busta is becoming a hostage to his own fortune, a victim of his own success. The fact that experimental, abstract beats have become so popular is partly down to him, but now that everybody's doing it, he has to do it more, or better, or different. Whatever, it means that an OK album just isn't good enough any more.

i love busta, but this cd just didnt do anything for me. i couldnt get into the songs and i was left wondering what happened to busta. only cop it if you are a die hard busta fan.

rating C+

i enjoy the back ground music. i like all of it. slow rythm, relaxing. two thumbs up. keep up the good work.

This album choked! All of the song [...]. The beats are softer than Ja Rule. Busta doesn't even have his fast rhymin skills anymore. the only song I liked was "Make It Clap" W/ Spliff Star. I gotta give Busta some props, though. He fooled everyone into thinking that this album was good. He put the only good song on the album as the single. [...]
