Busta Rhymes has been promising his fans the “most compelling” solo album ever for what feels like centuries. But it looks like Bus-A-Bus is inching his way toward the finish line.
On Monday (February 11), the Flipmode Squad vet shared a photo to his Instagram account of himself sitting in the studio with a bearded Dr. Dre.
“Oh shit!!!” he wrote. “Back in the Kitchen wit the good @drdre Adding the finishing touches.”
The following morning, Busta added another photo and insisted “You mutha fucka’s are really in BIG fucking trouble. @focus3dots x The Dragon & The Good Doctor aka @drdre. Stay tuned. #AFTERMATH #THECONGLOMERATE.”
The upcoming album will mark Busta’s first solo effort since 2012’s Year of the Dragon and he’s confident it will surpass all other entries in his discography.
In an interview with HipHopDX last September, Busta wouldn’t confirm the title but was grateful he had the support of his peers.
“9th Wonder has heard the album in its entirety several times. Just Blaze, Rapsody and they have all been very vocal about it through the social media platforms, and I am super grateful to them for cosigning, their endorsements, the whole anticipation that they’ve been creating.
“They’re all legends. They’re all icons in the game and you know, when they speak, people listen. It’s something I’ve never really had happen in this dynamic where word-of-mouth and the fellow comrade endorsement publicly in this dynamic has happened at this magnitude.”
Busta has been working on the project on-and-off for the past nine years. He blamed Dre’s perfectionism for the delay last October. Evidently, they almost have it right.
Hell yeah!!!
I just want Detox
Go listen to the Compton soundtrack. Its heavily underrated. Dre said Detox isn’t dropping so why keep whining about it
Compton was wack, the best cut on that record was Game’s solo track. Besides, Dre ain’t putting out the shit you used to like. If he dropped detox you would be disappointed cause it wouldn’t feel like old school west coast.
Old school west coast is what Dr Dre fans want! That’s why we didn’t like Compton. Junky album. Too new school, in all the wrong ways.
What? Underrated? No, it was mediocre from start to finish.
He’s not finishing an album….Busta Gut is finishing dinner.
Im dead lol
Now if we can get Busta to grow his dreads back…I miss THAT Busta rhymes
First single, “Where’s my Sandwich”
Second single “Return of Bowser”
Probly should of happened 10 years ago?
His beard is weird
Bars!
Kit Kat
So…Focus is producing and dre is mixing? Dre hasn’t created a beat from scratch in decades.
1 who gives a shit, 2 this shit aint comin out until 2022
Dr.Dre is DONE. He will not produce the whole album only a few tracks. The Chronic days are over. Busta Busta is my homie but his career is over too. Aftermath records usually puts out trash but todays music is even worst than over hill busta busta and dr.dre.
Dre has nothing else to prove. Hes also always used a team of producers. man is successful AF let him live
I get ur point. Dr. Dre has disappointed me alot, but I really liked the ‘Compton’ record, n it has alot of replay value 4 me. I’ve gone back n liked alot of records from ’96-’05 I thought I didnt like, but I do now. I feel Busss n Dre are in tune with shit nowdays, the sound, how things work now. I do hope ur wrong, I’m sure you do too.
COMPTON WAS ASS Trash!
Dre didn’t produce the MAJORITY of the chronic lol. Last time he actually produced an album was NWA. Chronic was made by people like Dazed Dillinger. Chronic 2001 was Storch, mel man, and focus. Dre uses ghost producers, and pays them for the credit.
Anyone else scared for that soundboard?
I’ll judge it , when I hear it………..too many times rapper are hyping their album. And when you hear it it’s doo-doo
I hope it’s a classic. Will check it out
Dr.Dre Hasnt Produced A Full Album Since NWA Dayz.If U Read The Credits He Never Produce An Entire album.He Does Mostly The Mixes.Dre Was Dope Back In The 90’s But That Time Has Long Gone. He Gets All The Credit. But Scott Storch Did Alot Of Joints U Think Dre Did.Negroes Start Buying Cds And Read The Credits.Yall Stream And Download Shit But Cant Read Who Produce What!! Damn Homie. Smarten Up. Dre Was Doe But He Overrated. I Think The Rza Is The Shit! But Never Got His Due Credits. He Produced More Bangers By Hisself Than Dre Ever Did
You obviously don’t understand the difference between a beat maker and a producer.
Buster Whines Is Trash.He Too Fuckkin Loud Screaming And Shit! That Shit Is Dead Homie! Nobody Want Hear All That Screamin.GTFOH! I Dont Want To Hear That Old Trash He Dead!
just like nobody wants to hear ur mumble rap
i dunno busta needs to find himself… he hasn’t released a great album in over a decade…. he’s one of the golden age rappers who took a turn for the worst with his horrible ethics and personality… everyone used to love busta.. but it’s like he became a bitter old brute bully… i’m not too excited for this project. I hope we get fun busta back who accepted everybody…
Everything Dre touches hasn’t been special the past decade sadly.
Fuck Buster arrogant THICK NECK YELLING,SCREAMING, RAPPING ALL FAST SAYING A WHOLE LOT OF NOTHING ASS LAME…..BUS A BUS EAT DICK SQUARE….COMPARED TO SPLIFF STAR U WACK(JADAKISS VOICE)
aoty contender. just watch
the ones making these comments must be under 30 and don’t know hip hop, hes better than most of these young rappers that are out right now
And when was the last time you made a beat and made a billion dollars Dude shut the fuck up and have respect for a legend ……loser!
