My Review of BLOCKBUSTA by Busta Rhymes
30 years in and he’s still got me All In Check
The man originally named by Chuck D of Public Enemy, Busta Rhymes has returned with a brand new album called BLOCKBUSTA. More than an all-new chance to deliver the ill rhymes he’s known for, Busta Rhymes infuses Blockbusta with an eye on up-and-comers. He’s got appearances from Burna Boy, Coi Leray, BIA, Kodak Black, and even his literal children. Blockbusta is an album about the legacy that is produced by some of the greatest beatmakers ever and Busta Rhymes will not let you forget it.
Honestly… we all know that Busta Rhymes has been chewing asses off with his raps since 1987. This is his 11th album. If you weren’t feeling Bussa Bus before, you probably won’t on this record either. Luckily… for you, he’s got so many guests I’ll go through them on this record and see how they measure up.
Starting the album with “THE STATEMENT” where Busta Rhymes uses this easy keyboard and hi-hat style beat to flow in the way that only he can. He delivers in one what few rappers today can even attempt to do. While Busta Rhymes is often been known to rap in a way that makes what he’s talking about easy to miss, in Blockbusta he leaves a lot of that behind so we know what he’s saying and why.
