Im a rapper eho has spent hours in studios and sold original work.

From my perspective - Busta's vocal work is complete fukking insanity!

Even his singing. The pitches, vocsl inglrctions, passion, flow. And not just his turbo flow.

Busta was and is innovative.

The man puts work in the booth!

If you have recorded and listen carefully even on "I got bass"

This is very difficult skills here.

What are the Grimiest most hardcore L.o.n.s tracks?

I remember seeing a magazine photo of them in the woods and thought they were rugged.

Then I say this pta video and it looked like high school fun.

Im prolly mistaken but asking for someone to put me on to l.o.n.s thank you.

btw

Busta is back in my top ten. He was out because I feel he drifted too far out from his core sound so stopped checking him.

....only for him to bring everything back with ele2. To the point Ive been listening to Busta 1996 - 2009 singles all this past week.

He is the King of Hip Hop for 2020 and that says alot!

He is like 2020s saviour...but we all know Hip Hop delivered this year very highly!

They didn't really make "hardcore" or "grimy" songs... they just made dope upbeat shyt for the most part. They had a lotta energy. Just like how Busta did when he went solo before he headed into more "street" territory.

Check out "What's Next", "Teachers Dont Teach Us Nonsense", "Sound of the Zeekers", "Sobb Story", "Spontaneous"

Spontaneous is great. Never knew last boyscout was with them back then. Plus the art for the album thats from was way ahead of its time.

You must be a long time fan of Busta or at least knew of him back in 1993 and earlier. Respect.

What are your thoughts on Ele2?

I want the TIME vinyl LP just based on the art. The record is good too.

I hope Busta keeps putting out bangers. He was one of my favorite artists when I was a teenager.

No doubt, that art is great.

Busta is a great artist all around.
