Busta Rhymes and LL Cool J have finally teamed up to perform “Flava In Ya Ear (Remix)” together for the very first time.
The rap legends famously joined forces on Craig Mack’s 1994 posse cut alongside the late Biggie and Rampage, but it wasn’t until Monday night (August 12) at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center that they brought their classic verses to life on stage.

The legendary link-up came during Missy Elliott‘s Out of This World Tour, which kicked off earlier this summer and features Busta Rhymes, Ciara and Timbaland as supporting acts.
Though the trek has evidently been one to remember for Busta, things haven’t been entirely easy for Missy herself.

Last month, the “Get Ur Freak On” hitmaker revealed on social media that she suffers from bad migraines, which flared up during a string of shows in Atlanta.
Fortunately for Missy, Usher was on hand (literally) backstage to work his magic and soothe her ailments.
“Big up my fam @Usher who came to not just one of my shows but TWO & hopefully 3,” she wrote on X (formerly Twitter). “what ppl don’t know is I suffer migraines and I performed yesterday in ATL with the WORST migraine nauseated & all.
“[And] he came back stage & did pressure points on my hands[.] yes he do it all [crying face emoji].”

Missy’s post was accompanied by a photo of Usher giving her a healing massage, as well as pictures of them sharing a hug and posing for the camera.
