I knew having all those names as "executive producers" wouldn't make for a dope album.

Busta's too much of a legend to be out here chasing what the younger artists are doing. One of his more forgettable projects. Because he's not building in his own lane, and he's trying to hop on what other people are doing today, which is exactly the opposite of what he did in his prime and what his legacy was all about.

This sh*t sounds like when unc shows up at the party after being locked up for 20+ years and thinks he's still one of the kids. Buss had a good run though.

Yeah it's awkward. There's a few fun joints on here but I can't really endorse this as a whole project. It's a mess.

At least he gave us ELE 2 which was true to form

My thing with Buss, is that he's mad good at a lot of different sounds. But those sounds are the ones that he kinda pioneered himself and mastered forever ago. Whenever he tries to follow what he thinks is current, the music gets corny and weird. He needed a real A&R on this, and not just household names of people he thinks everyone knows as executive producers to hype the project.

Somebody close to Busta gotta start being honest with the OG. Like you said E.L.E. 2 was definitely his lane. He needs to get back to leading again, and stay away from following.

That's clear, lol.

But these sh*t's ain't even hits. Ain't none of these joints gonna move the needle for the big homie. Busta's too old to be wave hopping. The party tracks on this ain't even good party tracks.

Facts hate to say it, but those household names are UNCS in the industry that shows up to Youngins function saying "They Still Got It" while the Youngins laughing at them under their breath.
