New York rapper is hoping to come back out in December with a new LP. The kid is prolific.
"The new album is 80 percent finished, and it's called The Chemo. It's the first time I'm announcing the name of the album. It's self-explanatory. We're coming to kill the cancer in music. I ain't trying to offend anybody. I think it's real important that we keep. ... We gotta re-establish the understanding that the perspective of hip-hop is to make music that always felt undeniable and unprecedented and we set a standard. And we always made sure we supplied the demand of being the ultimate cutting-edge form of entertainment that we always have and will always be. We always did a good job at doing that.

Basically, he's going to kill himself, right?
I mean who the fuck is he to talk about cancer in music when this mutherfucka fad hops like he needs it to breathe.
Busta you're a dope mc with great versatility but stop pulling more gimmicky shit like this.
-
^ Word, Busta is now legend of the fall-offs, ain't nobody going to be waiting for a new Busta album, after the scandalous Blessed/Back on my B.S. saga.

Damn that is some cold shit, but dead on lol.
-
I hope he's got some heat from the Neptunes like always and Swizz again. 'Kill Dem' is fire.
-
busta needs to back the fuck up from the rap-game after the gensis album from 2001/02 it would be better for him.
-
Damn this next album better be good, the last one was GARBAGE.
-
Lol at Busta thinking he'll have another album out by December ::) his shit gets pushed back every single time :-X but it'll be interesting to see what the album's like if it drops since The Big Bang was amazing and BOMB was a pile of shite
-

bomb was one of the worst albums ever.....and he hasnt dropped STR8 heat in years
cancer=tpain and that arab money shit he was doin...or tryin to do but didnt work

Less than a year after releasing his eighth studio album, "Back on My B.S.," New York rapper Busta Rhymes plans to strengthen the state of the music industry, which he says is "dying like cancer is killing it," with his brand new effort, "The Chemo."
"I called the album 'The Chemo' because it seems like the industry and music overall is dying slowly," Busta told Billboard.com of the Flipmode/Universal Motown project, slated for an early 2010 release.
"The cancer that's stricken the business is killing the music, not only from a business standpoint, but also the value of the content and the creativity behind it. I just want to start the first stage of chemotherapy treatment that needs to take place and hopefully inspire others to do their part and contribute to different stages of the cure."
Still, Busta recognizes those artists who are taking a stand against the "dying industry" by putting out "great music," noting that "Jay-Z put out an incredible album this year and Lil Wayne put out an incredible album last year." Others he commends include Jadakiss, Drake and Trey Songz.
Busta's also played a role this year with the release of "B.S.," which debuted at No. 5 on the Billboard 200 and reached No. 2 on Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums, selling 135,000 copies in the United States, according to Nielsen SoundScan.
A single hasn't been selected yet, but Busta says fans can expect new music to hit the radio waves and blogosphere in December. So far, featured artists on "Chemo" include Chris Brown, Trey Songz, Wyclef Jean & Sean "Diddy" Combs
-
UHh comon Bus. Chris Brown, Trey Songs, Wyclef and Diddy. True the Diddy joint may be some Pass the Courvosiour type track but chances are it won't be. Wyclef unless its some guitar stringed beat on some Fugees type shit it too will be weak. Trey and Chris Brown aren't even great singers and suggest pop trash as well.
Didn't he see Raekwons sales compared to his? New York grittyness with big name producers (no mixtape sounding tracks) and a couple features will sell. The little kids he's targetting will just download the Chris Brown track off iTunes.
Disappointed tbh. However the albums direction could change dramatically by the time it does drop. BOMBS wasn't all horrible like some of the replies would suggest. Wheel of Fortune, Kill Dem, Don't Believe Em, Give EM What they askin for and Decision were all dope. Its just a lot of the other stuff was horrible.
-
yeah kinda ironic...after Arab Money im not sure if i can ever forgive Busta lol Wheel of Fortune was pretty dope tho 8)

That's true, that's true.
I hope there's gonna be a Neptunes beat. 8)

real talk jome
he fell the fuck off a long time ago anyway

XXLMag.com: You dropped B.O.M.B. last May and are already knocking out The Chemo. What’s the thought process behind putting out a new album so quickly?
Busta Rhymes: The reason I decided to come with another album so quickly is because I was inspired. There’s music coming out lately that’s definitely inspired me to want to stay in the studio.
XXLMag.com: What’s the meaning behind the name of the new album?
Busta Rhymes: The thing that I want to primarily get across through the name of the album is there are many stages of chemotherapy, depending on the level of cancer existing in someone. The life line of the way we value hip-hop overall, knit picking songs… it’s completely misconstrued the value of the content and I think that’s definitely something that’s contributed to the slow death that not even hip-hop but the music industry is encountering. I want to do whatever it is on my part to contribute to that initial treatment to start inspiring others to go in the direction necessary so that we can all collectively save the music industry.
XXLMag.com: Being that your goal is to inspire other artists, who are you actually working with on the record?
Busta Rhymes: I don’t want to disclose the cameos but I do have records with people like Wyclef. Salaam Remi did the record that me and Wyclef did. Big up to Trey Songz, Chris Brown, P. Diddy and Dirty Money… Again, I don’t know who and what’s going to end up on the [final] album because a lot of it is contingent on clearances… I’m still in the process so we’ll know in time.
XXLMag.com: You mentioned Salaam Remi, what other producers have you worked with so far?
Busta Rhymes: I got a lot of great people coming to the table on the production level, so far Focus, Rockwilder, Nottz, the legendary, late, great J Dilla, DJ Scratch, Cool & Dre, the Runners… those are just the names of a few of the people that’s come to the table… Oh, and Dr. Dre came to the table again.

-
I hope the Dr. Dre track/s end up being on the album.
-
This looks quite promising. Lets hope he doesn't fuck it up.
-
I'm hoping for another Big Bang

I'm hoping for another Big Bang
wouldn't count on it
-
^ yes. Chris Brown, P Diddy and Dirty Money are all suggesting it many not be as good as the Big Bang although wyclef, salaam and dre all look promising.

Haha 3 reasons to suck, 3 reasons its dope, we sitting at a deadlock atm
-
He shouldn't rush the album though, the last album he put out was unbelievable GARBAGE.
-
and he didnt rush that album either... ;D

yeah BOMB was delayed for a really long time and was still poor. looks like this one isn't coming any time soon either.
-
He better not drop an weak album after he has already dropped one that was really wack, two in a row would be horrible :D
-
it aint safe no more= wack for the most part
bomb = for all parts
big bang =dope except a few traxx
genesis = best album from him in years
remixes & features = dope here n there

Yeah, "Genesis" is my favorite album from him. Busta on a Battlecat beat, that's somethin' i'd never thought i'd hear for real. "Big Bang" was good, "It Ain't Safe No More" was really weak but it had few tight tracks on it.
-
thats waz up
we have similarities in muzik here in there
but yeah genesis had a couple traxx maybe i wasnt feelin but damn album had bangers for real and again not a fan of slow traxx but damn when they are bangin like there were on this album
damn busta looks bad when releases muzik for real cuz when he makes dope albums like genesis and then he fails album after album....letdown on many levels

Yeah, that's why i said that i'm hopin' the next one ain't wack. After "Genesis" he released an weak album then he released an tight album then again he released an weak album, there's a pattern there so let's hope the next album he releases will be good :D
-
yeah im not bankin on it to be honest
but im glad i got krs one, rza, gza, lcn, and a few others that release muzik on the regular thats dope and you can assume it will be dope unlike busta
krs one is really outta this world wit his talent and viciousness on the mic for real
i cant count on others for dopeness eg busta even tho he says he releases the best muzik and is the best rapper alive etc....
talk is cheap

-
nah man, it ain't safe no more was a solid effort.people think it's weak because they expected Dre involvement again and because Genesis was indeed a superior album.But people overlook Dilla's input on It Ain't Safe No More, which was amazing.I never liked Make It Clap, the single with Mariah was alright, but both were far better than the singles he released for BOMB and shit on that will.i.am big bang single (can't remember the name lol).And besides the Dilla tracks, it ain't safe no more had some really dope songs overall
-
Big Bang was fuckin dope. It was a solid Aftermath cd with banging beats and everything. Dre did his job on it and it could have sold a lot more if they hadn't delayed for such long. If it was released around the time when Touch It was the shit, it would go at least platinum. But Dre had to put his touches on it. On his new xxl interview he's sayin they're working again for the new album. Chemo better be good cuz BOMB was just the last letter.
-
Yeah Busta blows hot and cold. It seems that anytime he does his own thing and just gets on with it he drops a great LP, but anytime he chases a single and success he drops a weak album.
He's a great emcee with one of the best flows of all time, but he's just never really done it over a full album except for maybe Genesis which was superb.
Problem with Busta is too many people have tried to change him (including himself). If he just stayed with the Woo Hah style craziness and ridiculous flows like his early material he'd have some great albums. Chasing the single for the female fans has killed him.
-
Word, Busta is now legend of the fall-offs
bus never fell off - he was always xtremely relevant in every possible aspect in the media and in the hiphop-culture. it dont mather what year it is - busta will always b featured on the biggest singles and the biggest remixes to the hottest things, always in the limelight, hands down. he kinda reminds me of Snoop - out of all the o.g.'s dat started out in the 90's, i cant think of one other artist dat never fell off commercialy besides those two. now if we are talkin "fell off" as in content of his music - dat's a diffrent story :P
i dont feel like Bus fell off there either :P
he just transcended, and adapted himself into multiple venuers in the musicindustry - while at the same time, never leavin. u might hear him on Pussycat Doll's next shit, but he can still go back to the projects and hook up wit Large Professor like nothin ever happened - wihtout havin anyone over there eyeball him recklessly for a second. kinda like Snoop wit his ppl - and dat too me, is the ultimate achivement for an artist. it's called "loved everywhere"
-
ELE was dope just suffered from a couple wack beats here and there. Big Bang was brilliant bar three tracks. I think I need to check Genesis again but Busta and Dre have made 8) tracks before so I expect nothing less this time.
-
nah man, it ain't safe no more was a solid effort. people think it's weak because they expected Dre involvement again and because Genesis was indeed a superior album
Nah, i think it's weak cause i didn't like it. It has nothin' to do with Dr. Dre.
-

I was talking about popular opinion, ain't nothing wrong with simply disliking it though
And IMO his first two albums were incredibly dope.ELE and Anarchy are solid efforts but not exactly my liking.
-
Either you like or dont like any of his songs or albums, theres one thing y'all should remember:
NO major label releases albums if it isn't music that people want or talk about. Add quality to that, and you have longevity.
Busta has released albums albums on major labels since 1991.
-
releasin albums since 1991 has nuthin to do with releasin wack albums tho
he went from genesis to.....well where he is now and thats pretty sad
stop sellin out busta
-
Busta can do it though. Anyone hear his mixtape 'I Bullshit You Not' from 2009? It was 10-12 DJ Scratch-produced tracks with him just doing his style on them. Great mixtape.
He's got it in him to make great albums but always gets sidelined by chasing 'the single'.
-

releasing albums on major labels for a 20 year period has nothing to with quality? do you think big companies are interested in selling products that sucks for such a long time?

Lol @ thinking labels give a fuck about quality, if it sells it sells no matter how bad it is.
After the big bang people would've bought the alkbum right away since that was such a great album.
-
then keep releasin wackness cuz thats all youve done for many years mr arab money

props to both
-
Bust usually has hot singles that get it popping so I ain't complaining. Though, I'd love to hear him go at an album like he attacked "Where's My Fucking Money?"
STRAIGHT KILLING IT!
-
I would hope Busta has it in him to make a great record again. The Big Bang was near flawless in my opinion, Back On My B.S. had some joints but wasn't his best effort. I wanna hear him over some Just Blaze, DJ Khalil tracks...he always picked great Dre beats too.
-
BOMB wasn't as bad as I first thought. It lacked any direction but it was still a solid album, especially compared to other shit.
-
^ Word up, I agree wit that! That joint was fuckin' solid.
I enjoyed it anyways, I don't know, a few lame tracks, but all albums got 'em. I don't think it was trash or wack at all though. It was Busta like Busta. This is one consistent nigga. The Big Bang was really the only album he went in a different direction wit and shittttt, made it nearly a classic. I think half of ev'rybody into Busta now put themselves onto him wit The Big Bang, when son ain't even that type of artist like, homie makes bangers so when he perform them, they STRAIGHT HIP HOP. WORD UP MY NIGGAS?? Like The Big Bang overall was dark when he usually 'playful'. He ain't on that 'Been Thru The Storm' he that 'Put Your Hands Where My Eyes Can See'...rightttttttttttttttt?
I don't know Busta's a fuckin' hype artist though and crazy consistent, imo and clearly a fuckin' BANANAS MC. Straight Hip Hop. ;D

Just in case.
