Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com
Busta Rhymes's sixth solo album loosely follows in the tradition of his 1998 Extinction Level Event and 2000's Anarchy, offering up lucid, timely commentary over futuristic beats. In fact, his previous new-world-order rants provide a perfect prelude to his post-9/11 analysis on the title track. While Busta offers his unpredictable array of flows across the usual balance of club tracks ("Make It Clap"), hottie songs of praise ("Hey Ladies"), and obligatory street anthems ("What Do You Do When You're Branded"), one can't help wonder why he'd mix in tired concepts (south Asian compositions on "Take It Off Part 2") or perform the pimped-out, playa routine on "Taste It," with its sundry (yawn) sexual references. Like its predecessor, Genesis, this album is sonically superior to most in the marketplace, thanks to contributions from the Neptunes. While big-name collaborations with Mariah Carey on "I Know What You Want" (where Busta croons) and Carl Thomas ("The Struggle Will Be Lost") don't exactly change the price of butter, hey, at least Busta's not pointlessly advertising chi-chi liquor companies this time around. --Dalton Higgins

5.0 out of 5 stars Let me analyze the tracks for you., December 17, 2002

By	Eddie (Detroit, MI) - See all my reviews

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.

3.0 out of 5 stars It aint safe no more.....but with Busta it will be aiight!, February 3, 2003

By	I.B. (Westampton, NJ) - See all my reviews

This album is not getting the promotion it deserves but is definelty worth every Busta Rhyme fan's attention. Once again he laid us out with lots of tracks with a few filler ones in between. One thing about Busta Rhymes that makes him my favortie is he has a style all his own and is always through with his lyrics and creativity. With this one he goes in a slightly different direction than "Geneis" but follows that busta formula with the funny skits and "off the wall" beats. So unto the tracks.....whats good?

*It aint safe no more
*What do you do when your branded? -- intresting song and beat...tight!
*Call the Ambulance -- the neptunes help to blaze this track once again.
*What up?
*Turn me up some
*Make it Clap
*I know what you want -- Nice collabo with mariah.
*Riot
*Together
*The Struggle will be lost
*Make it Clap Remix -- Sean paul makes it so much better.

Overall Busta came strong once again but the one thing keeping me from giving him more stars is the filler. If it wasent for some songs he woudl have 5 stars easy. Overall it is still worth hip-hop fans and busta fans money.

get it!!

2.0 out of 5 stars It Ain't As Great as Before, March 3, 2004

By	da-DK-krew - See all my reviews

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.
