Meh, I'm not feeling this. The eastern sounds are so played out. The whole song just doesn't do it for me.

Post by: LyRiCaL_G on February 07, 2008, 02:28:01 PM
dang props for this, busta is on some other shit on this, felt like listening some old busta shit, bangin. I thnk this shit is dope, the hook makes me laugh bishop came good, not great or anything, he aint even close to the level of busta but still i think this is dope. The beat is dope and the keys really fit the beat well but focus really needs to work on his bass and how hard his drums hit, because if you gave that same beat to neptunes and let them finish if off, i guarentee you would have a real banger on your hands

im a bit behind, just listened to it. the beat is avg as hell, he a better producer than this. He is an avg rapper judging off this track. Busta straight killed it though, wow. bishop came dope as well 8)

It's pretty cool. Bishop & Focus deliver average material, but Busta was a monster on this. Something to bump on the way to school, but not anything for the history books.
