BUSTA RHYMES ON LUX DISS --- Detailing his initial reaction to the Total Slaughter event host himself, Busta said, “I was raised different.”
“It really caught me off guard because I don’t ever get disrespected by anybody,” he said. “Period. I just command that ‘cause I give it. So, I think the most surprising thing was not only was it from somebody that I fukk with, but it was somebody that wasn’t warranted in any disrespect towards me. I’m cool even if it’s in fun. But even if it’s in fun, again, I was raised different. We don’t diss Rakim, LL, Chuck D, even in joke. There’s no joke about any level of disrespect. If you gon’ do it and you supposed to be somebody that I’m cool with or you know how to reach me, you should at least know that you can’t take for granted that imma find your joke as humor. You might need to call my phone and check in first and see if I’m gonna give you my blessing to be funny with me. I don’t like funny if I ain’t thinking that the joke is funny too. Especially if it’s at my expense. If you think that it’s okay to use me to get your excitement poppin’ you probably gonna figure out through a very rude awakening because I don’t play with that. Especially because it’s different now. We come from a time where you had to earn your voice. You can’t talk to me unless you had a voice that warranted that conversation with me ‘cause I had to earn my voice.”Back in our day, you talk shyt, we was going to run into each other somewhere and it was gonna get dealt with accordingly depending on the shyt that you talked. For me it’s just real simple, my kids ain’t gon’ wake up and see their father getting disrespected by no nikka on no Internet unless you know that you have a price that comes with paying for that act. I raise my kids a certain way: don’t start beef but if you come home getting your ass whooped ‘cause you didn’t defend yourself ‘cause somebody else started with you, I might whoop your ass and send you back out there to defend yourself properly. Then you could come home.”
