I'm :dead: at nikkas wanting features from Rampage or Leaders of the New School in 2023.

Only in the Booth, boy I tell ya :russ:
I don't think us flabby heads want that, we saying why chase the younger generation when you don't have to just stay in your lane. With the younger generation all he has to do is rap his verse on "Look At Me Know" All we're saying is just rap gives a good project homie get your NAS, JAY, etc on "Legacy Artists" on. I'm guessing he said he did that with ELE 2 and some of us didn't support.

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.

Truth.

The producers he made his best music with, are still making dope sh*t today. I see them saying they're trying to get back in the studio with Buss all the time. Problem is, he thinks sticking to what worked before makes him look "old". And this is the issue with the vets in Hip Hop, they don’t refine what they already mastered. They always show up trying to win over audiences that already think they're old and washed, and won't f*ck with the music anyway.

It makes more sense to stick to what you do best, and just make some sh*t for today that's in the lane you know. He's not gonna win any new fans over with this album. If they ain't f*ckin' with Buss by now, they never will.

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.

This is always my reaction when people say "let bro make a party record and stay relevant"

Relevant to who? He ain't getting no radio play, zoomers on TikTok ain't fukkin with no Busta Rhymes album, this shyt is going triple bauxite on streaming eitherway, and on top of that he's going to alienate the one fanbase he does have left which is legacy hip hop fans.

It is what it is....maybe this is just music he fukks with and wants to make. I'll never dictate to an artist what type of music he makes, but coming at this from the "he's just trying to move units" perspective is retarded :heh:

The guest features on this look awful. I already know I’m not gonna rock with this album. Definitely can see Busta trying too hard to fit in when he doesn’t have to do that.

Busta just making albums to add to the tour set nothing more :russ: , I mean I hope he wasn’t trying to make hits , hopefully he just wanted to make a party album, nothing wrong with that , songs not hit level imo
The thing that pissed me off with Busta is how he pretty much got put your hands where my eyes could see out of the way like it is a leaders of the new school song. I missed it cause I was waiting on my friend to get there. We finally get in there and he performs the song he got with Bia.. Nobody cared about that shyt :russ: He might move the crowd with a couple of these songs but I don’t know..

Very disappointed by this. :francis: Extinction Level 2 was excellent and this is clearly a regression. Not sure what the point of this release was. And then to brag that Timb, Pharrell and Swizz would be executive producing? I refuse to believe that actually happened.

Production credits out?
Yea, I can see them on Spotify.
