'The Big Bang' is an all-round great album.  I don't consider there to be any real filler tracks on there, but do I think of it as a classic?  Probably not.

Just a lil better and we'd be talking bout it being a classic of those times tho

A mini-masterpiece, if you will. ;D

LMAO!

it's true...busta is one of the great rappers of our time, and he's never put out a classic. most of em are dope, though.

Busta is one of those artist that went for the singles, a couple of dope tracks, them just filled out the blank tracks with crap. A lot of artist are guilty of it but he's too good to be one of them. Damn shame Busta

The Big Bang is probably the closest.

he's been around for almost 25 years, hung around the best of the best of em and yet all his projects have tons of filler on them


i think in the late 90's when he dropping hits like Gimmie Some Mo and Dangerous that he could have easily dropped a 5 star album if he tried harder  :eh:

Busta is a glorified Feature artist. Probably one of the best Rappers ever at Guest Appearances. He just can't put it together for an entire album.

i think his first five were all very good and consistent...sometimes his shit would be a lil too ambitious. (ozzy collabos, the janet and mariaha songs)


but those albums were far from duds...im not sure if id rather have one classic then a bunch of so so stuff like jeezy or nas or have a catalog of consistently good memorable music.

i agree that Jeezy sucks...which is funny because i have a good friend who SWEARS that jeezy has 5 classic albums  :eh:

then again he's all about bumping loud bass in his land cruiser and waking up his neighbors at 6 am with it lol



as for Nas...i think Illmatic, It WAs Written and Stillmatic were 3 dope ass CD's.  I Am was worth buying as well, although not on par with the other 3.

sorry broseph but every other album he does gets critically panned.


but on some personal preference shit im a fan. hes a great artist who just made a few wrong turns but a living legend none the less.




i dont think nas has never had a single as big as put your hands where my eyes can see and illmatic didnt have any catchy shit like woo hah but busta was kind of a let down woo hah was like one of the most impactful songs of its decade and it led to a luke warm album and thats his career trend. banger singles and lackluster albums.

"IF I RULED THE WORLD" AND "STREET DREAMS" WERE PRETTY DAMN BIG

BUT REGARDLESS, NAS HAS A CLASSIC IN HIS CATALOGUE, AND 2 OTHER CLASSIC-TO-NEAR CLASSICS....THEN HE'S GOT A BUNCH OF OTHER GREAT ALBUMS AND EVEN THAT JOINT EFFORT WIT DAMIEN MARLEY, WHICH WAS REAL. BUSTA'S CATALOGUE IS COOL N ALL, BUT IT'S NOWHERE CLOSE IN TERMS OF QUALITY. ONLY MEDIOCRE ALBUM NAS PUT OUT WAS "NASTRADAUMAS"....IN COMPARISON, BUSTA'S SHIT RANGES ANYWHERE FROM DOPE TO SUB-PAR, DEPENDING ON ALBUM.

who do you think is wealthier of the two rappers? who do you think is still cashing royalty checks off the classic singles being used constantly in the media?



dont get me wrong if i was on an island and i could only listen to one rappers catalog it would probably be nas (someone make that thread)


im just drawing parrellels of rappers who didnt quite live up to expectations...if it were up to me id like to see a rapper of nas integrity in jayz position. i think the rap game would be in a better place for it.

I agree with you there. But it's all about music for me and I don't think their catalogs are close and I like Busta.
