Whats the deal? isn't the album supossed to come out in July? I've been hearing/seeing NO promotion at all. Makes you wonder how serious they are about this release. Plus I thought mellow was supossed to come with a Busta Rhymes update,anyways, its a shame cause I for one was really lookin forward to this Busta album and it has potential to be huge.
-
well they are shooting the video in 2 weeks so it´ll come out for sure.
-
I read that it is possibly being pushed back until September
-
You know ive been hearing rumors its being pushed back to due G-Unit having so many releases...Tony Yayo at the end of June, Olivia in July, and the soundtrack to 50's movie in the fall....and Interscope wants them all to sell, so Busta is being held back supposedly so every one can sell equally...damn it shows how much power Dre really has at Interscope, he made that place what it is and he aint pushing for the first Aftermath only album since "2001" and "MMLP"...

Nah, since Truth Hurts album.

^^^Oh Yeah no shit!! Damn no wonder Busta's album is being held back not a good track record after that album...Busta's albums havent really been selling lately so, this album is big for him, and a risk for Dre and Aftermath, they'll come with some hot shit though....

Busta´s last album sold 700k and other then that all of his albums has sold more then 2 million(WW)copies and with a 10 year career that´s pretty damn good.

nah homie i remember "Anarchy" sold under Platinum, it went Gold and had trouble doing so, if you remember "Get Out" reached people saying he bit off JAy's "Hard Knock Life" and "Fire" wasnt well recieved, he was undercooping with the videos for both with Elektra and that was the reason he was breached for his contract and able to sign with J-Records and "It Aint Safe No More: also had a hard time selling until that wack joint with Mariah, im not hating homie im a Busta Rhymes fan i got all of his albums, even the greatest hits for "Fire It Up Remix (Explicit"...its just one of the reasons i think they are being so hard on him at Interscope, they are not used to those kind of units sold

I know dogg, but Dre is a fuckin Icon, Legend and Genious he sets the standards with the shit he does and his artist are always the most signifigant of their era...Dre should be able to say "Hey, Ive got some hot ass shit with Busta we put in some real work and I have some dope songs with him, we need to get this album out there!"...Busta has been really working on this album, Busta has never done that! He always ruches through them, so you know he is coming with some shit this time!

Y'all missed out on the Mellowman posts this weekend?
http://www.dubcnn.com/connect/index.php?topic=79535.0
^^ There's what he has to say on the Busta project. It's not coming out real soon, but the album's finished. Expect it by the end of the summer, and expect it to be hot. That's a sort summary of what Mellow has to say.

i cant believe yayos and oilivas album is a priority >:(

Why we keep going back and forth on tis sub-juect?
Busta admitted it himself homie, he didnt sell enough to recoup at Elektra, the videos costed millions for "Anarchy" so they gave up on him, same with "It Aint Safe No More", J-Records wasnt making there money back with it, thats why he left and Rah Digga was shelved the way she was, Busta wanted more promo, but they didnt give it to him...trust me around the time "Genesis" was getting promo, "Anarchy" moved about "500,000" at the time...
May 2004 In reference to "It Aint Safe no More" and that's damn near a year later homie....
XXL: How did your last record do?
I think i did about 700,000...
-
you said it didn´t go platinum when it did and now you´re coming with something stupid. and Anarchy was certified platinum the same year it was certified gold so you´re wrong again. but´i´ll stop correcting your posts after this though.

Busta's previous album, Anarchy, posted similar numbers upon its release last year, selling 167,000 copies to debut at #4 in June 2000.
Even though it was released in conjunction with Busta Rhymes' theatrical appearance in the John Singleton-Samuel Jackson remake of "Shaft," Anarchy is the smallest-selling album in the Brooklyn MC's solo catalog. Anarchy spent only 14 total weeks during its chart tenure on the Billboard 200 and has tallied just 656,000 in sales, according to SoundScan.
The numbers for Anarchy are dwarfed by those posted by Busta's first solo effort, The Coming, which (after debuting at #6 on the charts in March 1996 with 124,000 copies sold) spent more than 20 weeks in the Billboard 200 on its way to selling more than 773,000 copies to date.
Despite the chaotic sales figures put up by Anarchy, Busta is no doubt expecting Genesis to return him to the fiscal level he achieved with his second and third records, 1997's When Disaster Strikes and 1998's E.L.E., which have posted almost identical figures with 1.64 million and 1.61 million copies sold, respectively.
Anchored by the rapper's breakthrough hit, "Put Your Hands Where My Eyes Could See," When Disaster Strikes achieved the highest chart debut of Busta Rhymes' career by selling 165,000 copies in September 1997 to enter the Billboard 200 at #3 (trailing only Mariah Carey's Butterfly at #1 and LeAnn Rimes' You Light Up My Life: Inspirational Songs at #2).
Issued shortly before Christmas in 1998, Rhymes' E.L.E. sold more than 235,000 copies during its first week in stores, and holds the "biggest-selling-week" honors for all of Rhymes' albums. However, the holiday sales surge wasn't enough to push E.L.E.'s debut into the top 10 of the Billboard 200, as it instead spent its opening week on the charts at #13. Although it would inch up to the #12 spot in January 1999, it remains the only Busta Rhymes album that failed to spend at least one week inside the top 10.
Regardless of whether it can reach the magical 1.6 million marks of E.L.E. and When Disaster Strikes, look for sales of Genesis to breathe some semblance of life into The Best of Busta Rhymes, a greatest-hits compilation that has been commercially D.O.A. since arriving in stores in October. Since then, The Best of Busta Rhymes has only managed to sell a paltry 20,000 copies and has yet to move more than 3,300 copies in a single week.
i found that homie, supports my statement i wasnt hating on Busta at all, like i said im a real fan of his music and that shit shows he was in a slump...not that i care i think "Anarchy" is dope except for a few cuts the first single included, it was dope...

damn homie for real there is no reason to be getting all wet over this shit, you see above i was right, so no im not wrong, and the reason you taking this serious is beyond me, 700,000 is not platinum...chill im just conversating, im not tripping off this bullshit, im just replying to why i think Interscope is taking there time to drop an album im waiting for....
-
i think "anarchy" did atleast go platinum....if not then it most of sold about 800,000 copies cuz i remember the source said it went platinum on their december 2000 issue when wu-tang graced the cover.....so i'm pretty sure its around platinum or atleast 800,000... not 500,000 lol
-
damn, i really wanted this record, dre and busta go together real nice
-
