Busta Rhymes’ spirits were high when he hit the ‘Gram earlier this week. On Wednesday night (October 17), the Hip Hop O.G. unveiled the first new Flipmode Squad single in 20 years.
Titled “Flipmode Squad Meets The Conglomerate,” the single reunites Busta, Rah Digga, Rampage, Spliff, Baby Sham and Lord Have Mercy with O.T. Genasis, J-Doe, Trillian, Prayah and Aaron Cooks, while DJ Scratch hits the 1s and 2s.
“THIS IS A VERY HISTORICAL MOMENT!!!!!” he wrote in all caps. “FIRST TIME TWO CLIQUES FROM THE SAME LEGACY!!!! 20 YEARS APART!!!!! NO OTHER MOVEMENT HAS EVER DONE THIS, EVER!!!!!!! ALL ORIGINAL MEMBERS OF BOTH CLIQUES!!!! LET ME JUST ADD, THIS IS THE 1ST RELEASE FROM FLIPMODE IN 20 YEARS!!!!!! AND WHAT BETTER WAY THAN TO DO IT THAN TO DO IIR WITH THE CONGLOMERATE #FLIPMODESQUAD #THECONGLOMERATE!!
“WOOOOOOOW!!!! GOD IS THE GREATEST!!!!! WE ARE ONLY DOING THIS FOR THE CULTURE!!!!! NO OTHER REASON WHAT SO EVER!!!!!! WE LOVE THIS SHIT TOO MUCH!!!!! #FLIPMODESQUADMEETSTHECONGLOMERATE IS AVAILABLE AND STREAMING EVERYWHERE RIGHT NOW!!!”
Midway though the track, Busta comes in with, “Look, see, I don’t want to be cool with none of you rappers, muthafucka/I’m on my own dick / You remind me that I’m cool with my own clique/Get in the presence of God again/Extracting your soul and grabbin’ up your heart again/Try an’ defeat the God, that’s unimaginable/Because I fuck niggas unfathomable.”
Fans have been patiently waiting for Busta’s next solo album. In a recent interview with HipHopDX, Bus-A-Bus confirmed it’s coming before 2018 is up.
“It’s definitely coming this year,” he says. “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.”
Until then, check out “Flipmode Squad Meets The Conglomerate” below.
Flipmode is the squad!
What about Roc Marciano?
I wish he was involved too.. but technically I dont think he was an original Flipmode member, I believe he came on board for the 2nd group album after an original member or 2 left. Would still have liked him to be part of it, but then again, Roc has been super busy lately dropping music, so maybe he wasnt even able to do it.
This joint has drums. Roc dont rhyme on beats with drums anymore.
Noodles, is this an Islamic thing not to rhyme on drums?
Roc Marciano is not a member of Flipmode Squad you fuckin idiots.
Yes he was genius…Roc was originally a member of Busta Rhymes’ crew, Flipmode Squad becoming the sixth member after the departure of Lord Have Mercy, (aside from other Flipmode acts Serious and Show Money) Roc Marciano left in 2001 to form the U.N. a hardcore underground hip hop group consisting of three other MCs (Dino Brave, Laku & Mic Raw) with whom he released an album on Carson Daly’s 456 Entertainment in 2004. Know your hip-hop history b4 u start insulting others u dumb motherfucker.
The keyword that he used was “original” members. The sixth man is not a starter! He was like adding Uncle Murder to G-Unit.
He said he wasn’t a member, keyword “member”, which he actually was. No shit he wasn’t an original member, the point I’m making is that he was apart of the group @ 1 point.
he used to be….go back and listen to ANARCHY
He was, you cuck. “Originally a member of Busta Rhymes’ crew, Flipmode Squad becoming the sixth member after the departure of Lord Have Mercy…” that’s the second line from his Wikipedia.
You pathetic moron
Busta said he would give you your gay, Xena warrior princess/Captain Crunch/don’t ask don’t tell/queer military inspired/fake pearl adorned jacket back, right after the performance they took a picture of him at seen above…
ALL ORIGINAL MEMBERS OF BOTH CLIQUES!!!!
He wasn’t a founding member.
Busta was a founding member of Flipmode Squad. This is the original lineup of Flipmode.
Sorry, I didn’t realize that you were continuing the discussion about Roc Marciano. You are correct. Roc Marciano came into the picture later, after Lord Have Mercy left. My bad “You answered your own question”
Roc Marciano is who I’m talking about
good news. busta still has tons of potential as long as he doesnt follow trends.
I didn’t hear Lord Have Mercy on this
where is Lord Have Mercy?
Don’t nobody care about that bloated ass nigg anymore!
Calm Down on those Caps, Buss…it makes me ignore whatever you have to say…this dude needs a social media advisor…
Title is a joke. Flipmode got maybe 1 minute in the entire song together. Not even individual verses. Song is average as hell. If you want a Flipmode Meets, the the version against Def Squad.
Is Leader Of The School or FlipMode in your Top 10 greatest Hip Hop groups ? Song of the Night Rah Digger & Busta ( Imperial )
Roc wasn’t a original member, from the start, Flipmode member. He joined later
Technically, the ORIGINAL Flipmode Squad had Serious and not Baby Sham.. But, that’s if you wanna get extra nerdy with your 90’s Hip-Hop….
Stop bitchin you losers.. Roc Marciano bitch ass was NOT AN ORIGINAL MEMBER of the Shitmode Squad.
