This album is a hot steamin pile of B.S. Busta Rhymes has officially tried me (and everyone else) with this album. The Big Bang was a pretty good album and Busta Rhymes had been puttin in work on remixes to a bunch of popular songs and that really had me anticipating this album. I thought that Busta Rhymes would be back as he puts it. WRONG! There's only a few songs worth listening to on Back On My B.S. (Respect My Conglomerate, Hustlers Anthem 09 (the remix is a million times better though), Arab Money (remix once again way better), Don't Believe Them and Decisions) and the rest are trash can material. Kill Dem is unbelievably bad...Do The Ricky Bobby bad. The World Round ft. Estelle is just laughable; a full blown techno song??? WTF Busta? Terrible. Another song I just laughed at uncontrollably was Wheel of Fortune...tried us all. I'm A Go And Get My ft. Mike Epps has the worst chorus of all time and the song itself is even cornier. We Want In ft. Ron Browz is an instant failure because anything featuring Ron Browz is an instant failure.

I think this album suffered from leaks of songs that aren't on here such as Blown with TPain or I Got Bass and plenty more. Busta Rhymes has disappointed to no end with Back On My B.S and consequently may be the worst album he's ever dropped. Busta Rhymes has served hip hop faithfully for nearly 15 years...it may be time for him to bow out. I feel the same way about this album as I did LL Cool J's last album Exit 13. We Still love you Busta but you just don't have it anymore. Well atleast it's better than Jim Jones last album. 1.5 stars.

What a huge disappointment!! A well decorated emcee like busta rhymes puts out his worst album and one of the worst albums of the year!!!! Lyrically Busta Rhymes is still on point with this release. Its everything else about the songs that kill the album. The production sucks, The hooks made me wanna throw up, and the guest appearances (minus common and mary j blige) were weak as hell also. The hooks blew me because all of them had fake roger troutman-t pain synthesized sounf to them. Busta messed up because it seems as though he is trying to cater to a younger audience when the younger audience is not his fan base. This album has no replay value whatsoever!!!! avoid this one at all costs.

The only two songs i liked were:
GIVE EM WHAT THEY ASKIN FOR
DECISION

the rest of the album is straight garbage.

In 2006, Busta Rhymes released The Big Bang, but popular opinion suggested the only thing interesting about that time period was what I mentioned in my review title -- but maybe that's because it was another one of those cases where the original version of the album got leaked and then the general public heard the "second" version. That might also be why Dr. Dre didn't promote the album (but he usually doesn't promote anyone not named Eminem anyway), which in turn might also be why Busta isn't on Aftermath anymore. Anyway, Bus released Back on My B.S. on...Motown? He expected to get promotion THAT way???

At any rate, as the first Busta Rhymes album to not even go gold (damn, even Anarchy went gold), this album isn't his best but it's not as bad as most of these reviewers say. Production is mainly handled by someone named Ron Brownz, and he and Bus craft listenable tracks like "Give Em What They Askin For", "Shoot for the Moon" and the interesting "We Miss You". However, when Ron gets on the mic, he kind of sounds like a poor man's T-Pain (see "Arab Money" and "We Want In" -- by the way, who is Flipmode Movement?). The real T-Pain actually shows up though, on "Hustler's Anthem `09", which is tolerable.

When Busta is joined by guest stars, the results are hit-or-miss. He sounds fine on "Don't Believe Em" (with T.I. and Akon) and "Respect My Conglomerate" (with Jadakiss and Lil Wayne), but then he starts to trip up. "Kill Dem" is reggaeton gone wrong, and the Pretty Ricky-esque "Sugar" might make you break your fast-forward button. "World Go Round", despite featuring nice vocals from Estelle, uses a bad sample of "I Know You Got Soul" (why are rappers still using that song anyway?); and speaking of R&B hooks, the obligatory song with a message, "Decision", has help from Mary J. Blige and John Legend, and the song isn't bad but it feels like it belongs on everyone's album BUT Busta's. And "Wheel of Fortune" is pretty okay.

Things also aren't great when Bus tries interview-style raps, as evidenced by "I'm a Go and Get My" and "If You Don't Know Now You Know" (featuring Mike Epps and Big Tigger, respectively). Whoops, looks like I named all the songs again. Busta Rhymes is still lyrically on point for the most part but Back on My B.S. is the kind of album that only diehard fans of his can truly appreciate.

I went down to my cd store and copped this because i though that hey maybe busta would have a completely diffrent and better sound then the big bang...it's diffrent but not better there are a couple stand out tracks like

The Wheel Of FOurtune
Decsion
Respect My Comglemerate (Which i was dissappointed the weezy replaced jeezy)

Even semi lame tracks like we want in aren't terriable i don't know i would listen to this before buying it or just downloading the best songs

... hes busta the furst few songs are ok but quickly after that the album turns to dust dang this cd only really deserves two but hey its busta

Busta has always experimented with different avenues in his music. I love the cd.

I love Busta. But dam this album sounds like everything else thats out there now. Weak club hits. Alot of the robot sounding voice. Nothing like his old good stuff.

As much as this release has been delayed and put off. I was seriously hoping for a better effort. But i didn't get that with Busta's latest effort "Back on my B.S." as its evident. He's not even close being back on his game at all. I remember being a huge fan of his for many years. I didn't think about checking to see how this was before buying it.

That was my mistake as I don't feel that fire that he's had on previous releases at all. The songs just seem to go from one to another without much feeling or energy at least not to me. I did like 3 or 4 of the songs like:
"Respect My Conglomerate" w/Lil Wayne & Jadakiss
"Shoot For The Moon"
"Hustler's Anthem '09" w/T-Pain
"Decision" w/Mary J Blige, Jamie Foxx, John Legend & Common

Those were the only ones that I'm feeling and would listen to Busta's latest release. I'm still a fan without a doubt. But i just hope that next time around he comes with the fire, drive and lyrics that we are used to. Because he's talented without question but this time around. I can't in good conscience give this anything better than 2 stars.

It's lacking and I don't believe that "Back On My B.S." will satisfy even the most hardcore Busta fans. I'm just not with it this time. Looking forward to the future for him and hope he bounces back.

this really isnt one of Busta's better albums it was ok and mine also is missing a song from the cd as im missing the one he did with big tiggger i even tried putting it in different cd players and its still the same is anyone else haveing the same problem

man this is awful why is busta trying to sound like the soutrh he has t pain, big tigger and other wack rappers on here man save youer money on this hip hop is dying.
