It’s been five years since Busta Rhymes released an album (and that one was a disaster and shouldn’t really count — so it’s been more like eight).
The Dungeon Dragon has patiently been biding his time for the rap world to be more accepting of his legendary untamed rhyme flows, and it appears that time is near.
His most recent social media posts have all featured the “album soon come” (which may or may not still be named Extinction Level Event 2) tagline in one form or another.
Back in 2014, Busta addressed the false start in album-making that stemmed from his stint on Cash Money. While speaking on Sway’s Universe, he explained the holdup was apparent but the separation was amicable.
“Actually, nothing happened in a negative way with Cash Money,” he said. “And actually nothing happened in a negative way with Aftermath. I think the difference really with the Aftermath situation was more me and Interscope. You know what I’m saying? It was just creative issues that was just conflicting a little bit, but it led to other frustrations. That really had nothing to do with the creative shit. So, at that point a discussion was had. And the beautiful thing about these situations is that the stage that I was at those times, everybody had already respected what I’ve built and what I’ve accomplished on my own prior to getting with them … Same thing with Cash Money. I was there for two years and the opportunity was a great opportunity at the time because of the type of deal that was done … I just had a conversation with Bird like, ‘Listen, bro. I’m grateful and everything is love with us, but I just gotta see this through the way that I want to see this through.’”

Lol dude always wearing some bs smh…on another note he kind of tainted his legacy by falling head first off that stage…that’s all I think about when I see him or hear his music now.
Make the album more like When diaster strikes. Ele was good but your classic was diaster. Still have my case to this day.
Loved both of those albums, but always felt ELE was better.

No dreads? I ain’t hearing sh#¥.
Lol I feel the same. Just like ice cube without his curl. Rakim without the fat gold chain and snoop n dre without the fuckin flannel n khakis.
Its been awhile. I remember hearing that Chris Rock had contributed some shit to a Busta album awhile back, when it was supposed to be called ELE2, I don’t even remember what year that was. *Looks it up real quick* Holy shit, that was reported on HHDX back in 2011. Six fucking years ago, before Year of the Dragon (which sucked). After that long a wait, it better be the dopest shit he’s ever done, the last official album wasn’t that good either (the one with “Arab Money” on it).
He hasn’t made anything decent since Big Bang and even that has a lot of weak moments.
He’s big enough to release this independly, even before he sign with Cash Money. I do hope him and Q is working on this together they make a great team.
