Eminem’s Busta Rhymes Collaboration “Calm Down” Release Date, Cover Art & Stream Link

    Busta Rhymes has announced the release date for “Calm Down,” his collaboration with Eminem.

    The song is set to be released July 1, according to an announcement that was made on Twitter. 

    “IT’S OFFICIAL!!! THE CONGLOMERATE ENT. PRESENTS… BUSTA RHYMES FT. EMINEM “CALM DOWN” IS COMING JULY. 1ST,” Busta Rhymes says in a Twitter post. 

    Busta Rhymes made this announcement today (June 27). 

    In September 2013, Rhymes spoke on a collaboration with Eminem.

    “I’ve got a six-minute record with Eminem that sounds like we are respectfully trying to battle each other in a way that you probably never heard us battle in our entire careers on a record.” Busta Rhymes said in an interview with XXL. “So it’s lot of real incredibly golden moments for us on this project.”

    It is unclear if the song he was referring to in 2013 is “Calm Down.”

    On the song, Eminem tackles various subjects, including Internet bloggers. 

    “Fucking internet bloggers,” Eminem raps on the track, before launching into an immitation voice. “I sit in front of my computer all day and comment on everything. I’m an expert on everything. Everything sucks.”

    Busta Rhymes also goes through a myriad of topics on his verse, letting fans know: “See, me and Shady together we’re crazy.”

      1. I’m straight but Em’s package does look hella cute in that picture. I think you’re the gay one being all homophobic. You fags disgust me.

    1. THIS IS GONNA BE OFF THE FUCKING CHAIN. mothafuckas try to hate on em and busta but this is gon be song of the month and gonna be insane niggas actin like eminem isnt one of the top lyricists STILL OR ever

    2. I like this trend eminems setting w battle lg and this track n track w trick I think..hopefully eminems next album can be bars and back in beast mode like 02 again.

      1. Relapse, recovery, mmlp2 and hell the sequel were all beast mode people just gotta hate on whatever doesnt give them nostalgia. in terms of passion and lyricism hes as sharp as ever this song is gonna tear shit up

      2. If its in a mode where people can sing along and dance, yes it will tear it up

        Because em murdered everyone on forever but it gets spins because of drake, not eminem’s verse

    3. Im expecting “everybody be knowin i be flowin n*ggas know that ima come n ima go n ima drop n ima blow” some bullshit like that LOL Em will have the best verse obviously.

      1. But he’s right though… Probably some yelling Recovery type flow from Eminem, i guarantee it.

    4. I hope this is not over-hyped and is actually going to be a dope song. In 2014 i don’t have much expectations from this song.

    5. Busta over-hyping this to increase his album sales. Bet this song gonna be garbage. Probably a throw away verse from Eminem from Recovery or something.

    6. FINALLY Em is back making collabs with respectful and great rappers aside from royce on BME 3 years ago

    7. Eminem will eat this black boy alive. Busta cant fuck with the skillz of Eminem even a throwaway verse is better then every song Busta has ever done.

      1. Eminem will eat a lot of people no matter what race. So u don’t have to say that kid. Just relax with the white supremacy bullshit cuz that’s all it is is bullshit.

    8. damn whats up with these dudes commenting (after having checked) Eminem’s balls. lol wtf. yall really got some balls in your face dont you haha made my day though

    9. ”So as I got older and I got a lot taller My dick shrunk smaller, but my balls got larger” – Eminem. I guess it never stops.

    10. jesus eminem is so overhyped on these comments….can everyone be honest and admit that all he does since 04 is scream out multisyllabic rants…every album post Eminem show has been either garbage (encore, relapse) or mediocre (recovery MMLP2) MMLP2 is actually a sub par album minus rap god…..ppl defend this dude like he pays your bills when its really the other way around.

      1. Agree to a certain extent. Encore minus a few tracks was trash agree (drugged out). Relapse to me had some fire tracks on there like Stay Wide Awake, Deja Vu, Underground and then the bonus tracks on refill like My Darling, Be Careful what you Wish for, Elevator, Buffalo Bill, Music Box were solid…Recovery was avg at best agreed and I think MMLP2 was hit or miss but I liked the following tracks: Bad Guy, Legacy, Rap God, Brainless, Love Game (minus first Em verse), So Far, Headlights, Evil Twin, Baby (bars especially 2nd and 3rd verse), Groundhog Day…

        He also has shown flashes on both BET cyphers (shady 2.0 and with Mos/Black Thought), The Warning (mariah diss), Westwood Freestyles, Forever verse.

        Agree with you 100% that 96-02 (Infinite, Wake up Show, Rawkus, underground b-sides, SSLP, MMLP, Eminem Show, 8 Mile, Devils Night) Eminem (imo one of the GOAT primes) is light years above post drugged out 2004-present Em. But he’s not garbage now, he’s just super duper inconsistent and had to “learn how to rap, flow, write, perform again post drugged out almost dying”.

        He was clearly better when he did recreational drugs, but he still shows flashes…saying he’s “garbage” is just dumb, he’s just not nearly as smooth/consistent

      2. I agree with both of your points in some ways, It’s the overall song that he is making that is suffering the most though. The beat and the hook and the weird pop artists he uses for some of them is mind boggling sometimes. Getting older has not been the best for him as an artist either, I think the old eminem that many of us feel is top 10 or maybe top 5 would never do a song with RiRi or Bruno Mars. He would compete more with and maybe say fuck other rappers like Lil Wayne and Drake instead of doing songs with them. He will always be able to drop a dope verse here and there but the extra stuff like teenage angst and being controversial are gone. Maybe he can use better beats and hooks though.

    11. wow, so can somebody tell me if busta is officially just a mixtape artist or a featured artist? dude has fallen off hard. im over dude.

    12. I wonder if anyone remember the song called “I’ll hurt you” that featured eminem. That was dope as fuck. Busta’s style on that was just wicked as hell and Em did his thing. Think it was for the that one album that was under Interscope and Dr.Dre. Big Bang?

      Either way I don’t doubt this new song. They work together real well.

    13. So what i wish these two guys would fall back and develop and put out raw new talent.Or just step aside and let the younger guys do their thing.

      1. Busta Rhymes crawling to YMCMB for relevance. YMCMB is a graveyard, Drake is dying to get off the label and the rest of the roster are full of sub par Lil Wayne wannabe’s

      2. How can Eminem crawl to anyone for relevance when he has tons of relevance and is the best selling hip-hop artist of all time? Busta doesn’t have that much relevance anymore. He hasn’t released anything since he signed to Cash Money. This is not a win for YMCMB at all. If anything, this is Busta crawling to Eminem for relevance.

      3. Don’t ever use hiphop with eminem again. He went full on pop with rihanna, pink, nate, and sia. He has no respect among the hiphop community, only teen bitches that buy pop crap like k dot, pharrell, and john legend.

      4. Eminem is and always will be hip-hop, he never went full on pop. Just because he worked with pop artists doesn’t mean he’s not hip-hop. Hell, tons of rappers have worked with pop artists, including your favorites at YMCMB. Eminem is still respected in the hip-hop community. Also, Kendrick, Pharrell, and John Legend are not pop crap and they have a diverse audience, not just teen bitches. Kendrick is a dope hip-hop artist, Pharrell’s a dope multi-genre producer, and John Legend’s a dope R&B singer.

      5. You telling me that monster is hiphop? No you dumb fuck. It’s pop crap that maroon 5 can do. It’s not just eminem working with pop artists, he became pop after ironically dissing on pop in 2000. Drake shits on john legend. Drake’s R&B is authentic while legend’s come from autotuning and digital software.

      6. Yo OP, you hit it right in the head. Eminem embraces pop and doesn’t give a fuck about hiphop. Otherwise, 50 would have been featured along with slaughterhouse.

      7. Yes, Monster is a hip-hop song, regardless of Rihanna being on it. Eminem never became pop, he’s still hip-hop. Explain how he is pop. Also, you got that entire last part wrong. John Legend shits on Drake and it’s John Legend who’s authentic R&B while Drake is autotune and digital software.

      8. Also, YMCMB doesn’t go pop. Some pop artists crawled to them for relevancy but its not the same thing as eminem crawling to pop artists. He’s finished in hiphop.

      9. “I have to agree with the OP here. Eminem doesn’t get much respect in hiphop anymore.”

        “Yo OP, you hit it right in the head. Eminem embraces pop and doesn’t give a fuck about hiphop. Otherwise, 50 would have been featured along with slaughterhouse.”

        These two comment come from the same person, the OP aka teethboy.

      10. Just listen to monster. The beat sounds like its from maroon 5 or some shit. Ironically, Eminem used to hate on pop stars like brittney spears but now works with them. John Legend only has a no.1 hit due to payola and buying digital copies himself.

      11. Yes, YMCMB does go pop. Hell, they signed pop artists to the label. No one crawled to them to relevance and Eminem never crawled to anyone for relevance, HE ALREADY HAS RELEVANCE. Eminem will always be a part of hip-hop.

      12. If your favorite rapper recorded The Monster, you’d have no problem with it and wouldn’t call it pop. Also, John Legend got a number one hit the way any artist has a number one hit, the fans bought the songs and requested it on radio. There was no payola and JL didn’t buy a single copy.

    14. Yes, YMCMB does go pop. Hell, they signed pop artists to the label. No one crawled to them to relevance and Eminem never crawled to anyone for relevance, HE ALREADY HAS RELEVANCE. Eminem will always be a part of hip-hop.

      The artists are either hiphop, R&B, or EDM. Not pop. Eminem lost his hiphop credibility and took it out on ross.

      1. Wrong. The artists on YMCMB are either pop rap or straight up pop (paris Hilton, the Justin Bieber clone, Nicki Minaj, etc.). Eminem never lost any hip-hop credibility at all.

    15. These two comment come from the same person, the OP aka teethboy.”

      You can’t handle a bunch of opinions can’t you?

      1. If your favorite rapper recorded The Monster, you’d have no problem with it and wouldn’t call it pop. Also, John Legend got a number one hit the way any artist has a number one hit, the fans bought the songs and requested it on radio. There was no payola and JL didn’t buy a single copy.”

        YMCMB would never do that shit. If they did, it would be shit. John Legend had no fans prior to this. None of his songs were big before this.

      2. Wrong. The artists on YMCMB are either pop rap or straight up pop (paris Hilton, the Justin Bieber clone, Nicki Minaj, etc.). Eminem never lost any hip-hop credibility at all.”

        Paris Hilton is EDM, Austin Mahone (not a bieber clone) is EDM mixed with R&B, and Nicki Minaj combines rock, hiphop, edm, a tiny amount of pop, and country. Eminem is pop and his sales fell off.

      3. Paris Hilton is pop, Austin Mahone (who is a Justin Bieber clone) is pop, and Nicki Minaj is pop. Eminem is hip-hop mixed with rock and his sales didn’t fall off.

      4. How is mahone a bieber clone? Even if he was, he still got an album out and slaughterhouse and yelawolf haven’t yet.

      5. Mahone is just like Bieber in every way: a white boy trying to act black, singing teenybopper pop music, dance moves, a fanbase of only teenage girls, etc. Also, Slaughterhouse and Yelawolf also released albums.

    16. Look at this bitch. Eminem could do a full on country song or a kid’s song for nickelodeon and he would still say its true hiphop.

      1. Mahone is just like Bieber in every way: a white boy trying to act black, singing teenybopper pop music, dance moves, a fanbase of only teenage girls, etc. Also, Slaughterhouse and Yelawolf also released albums.”

        How is he trying to act black? He does songs of various kinds. His dance moves are inspired by Michael jackson, not bieber, and dads and college students bump to mahone. Hell, my father got tickets to see him on 3 dates. Slaughterhouse and yelawolf aren’t releasing any albums now.

        Also, quit avoiding the statement bitch Eminem dickrider. He is pop (used to be hiphop but went pop in 2010).

      2. Mahone dresses, walks, and talks blac; he’s a stereotypical wigger like Bieber. He only makes teenybopper love songs. His dance moves come from Bieber, and no dads and college students listen to him. You made up that story about your pops. Yelawolf and SH still released albums.

        How am I avoiding your statement when I corrected it? Eminem is not pop, he’s hip-hop. How is he pop?

      3. Mahone sounds like a normal white person and acts normally. Eminem does love songs as well, why criticize mahone for doing them?

        Hater.

      4. No, Mahone sounds and acts like a white kid trying to act black. Eminem’s love songs aren’t like Mahone’s. If anyone’s the hater, it’s you.

      5. Getting away from Mahone, YMCMB also has my homie game on the side. Game will destroy 50 cent in sales (its already a given that 50 won’t come anywhere near mastermind’s sales with either naimal ambition or street king immortal)

      6. You’re basically admitting defeat by changing the subject. Again, Game ain’t your homie and and he ain’t part of YMCMB. He’ll flop harder than grandma titties. (50 has already beat Ross in total sales)

    17. You’re basically admitting defeat by changing the subject. Again, Game ain’t your homie and and he ain’t part of YMCMB. He’ll flop harder than grandma titties. (50 has already beat Ross in total sales)

      I’m not starting a war here. Game is my homie fuckboy and he signed a deal with ymcmb in october. Do not start the total sales crap. It’s about now and ross is winning.

      1. Again, Game ain’t your homie and he’s not signed to YMCMB. Fuck all of that “now” bullshit”, Ross will never catch up to 50’s in terms of sales. He ain’t winning.

      2. 50 ain’t going to reach michael jackson’s total so what’s your damn point. Again, now is now and game is indeed my homie. I met him in a concert and now we friends for life. He is indeed signed to ymcmb and has a release date of 9/16.

      3. I didn’t say he was gonna reach Michael’s sales. Game ain’t your homie; he never met you and doesn’t care about to you. Quit thinking you’re friends with your favorite artists because you’re not. Game is independent, not signed to YMCMB. Get your facts straight.

      4. Now Ross will probably never reach 50’s sales but unlike him, he did it on his own without the help of a white rapper. I have game’s phone number. Game ain’t indie shit. He’s a ymcmb member. Birdman announced the signing.

      5. 50 did it on his own, too. You don’t have Game’s number, you fucking groupie. He IS indie, not signed to YMCMB. Birdman lied about the deal.

      6. Game ain’t indie you fuckboy. Proove to me that he’s indie or you’re lying. 50 TRIED doing it on his own and got shot. Colubmia dropped his ass and eminem saved him.

      7. Game is indie since he’s signed to eOne. 50 did it on his own and labels came to him. No one saved him.

    18. Eminem is so lyrical with it that he can have buckshot drop verses and he can rhyme too. Eminem can rap with nas, make a renegade 2 (favorite em verses) with jay, rock with tech, busta, treach, redman, whomever the f#ck he wanna rap with ’cause he nice like that. Get jada on a cut, murder wayne, drake, ross on anything.

      But yall love that borderline suicide frustrated at life music. Yall eminem’s juggalos, why he named yall stans. Get off of his balls that youre staring at and let him rock with the rest

      Eminem wasnt the best on the wake up anthem groupies but we still give him props.

      1. That’s debatable. Best verses on there imo was a tie between Em and Kool G Rap but it’s an overall classic track with legends galore. Pharoahe, TechN9ne, and Chino did well as well but to me Kool G and Em had the 2 best verses

      1. Eminem came to ross’s studio once to see if he could work with him. We did a session and eminem just sucked so we kicked his ass out. He got so angry he dissed ross.

    19. Game is indie since he’s signed to eOne. 50 did it on his own and labels came to him. No one saved him.

      Eone is game’s canadian distributor. 50 Tried doing it on his own but columbia dropped his ass. He then had to crawl to labels and dre and eminem saved him.

      1. No, eOne is the label Game is signed to. 50 did it on his own and had labels crawl to him, not the other way around.

      2. No, it’s not for distribution in Canada, it’s Game’s home label. Almost every label wanted to sign 50 at the time.

    20. 116 speculating comments on a song none of us have heard. I stopped reading when people were claiming they knew how this track would be.

      The cover art is dope! I’m digging that. Otherwise I’m out cause yal ruining hiphop

    21. Why would a label mate of Drake and YMCMB put feminem on this track? Don’t you want a hit Busta?!

      1. Eminem has 34 Top 40 hits, 24 Top 20 hits, and 17 Top 10 hits. He never had to crawl to anyone for hits when he can make them himself.

    22. “Fucking internet bloggers
      “I sit in front of my computer all day and comment on
      Everything, I’m an expert on everything, everything sucks, play the next song”
      Guess if I hopped out your freaking laptop, you idiot prick
      With Biggie and kicked the living shit out of you, I’d be dead wrong”

      THAT’S YOU!

      YOU! You’re that guy that’s about to say why this song sucks and talk about how your favorite “who the fuck is this person again” artist is better!

      1. Who the fuck are these guys? Drake is way cooler & he could totally take these clowns in a dance off.

    23. Beat kind of a let down but good lord Em killed this. Busta was nice too but sounded a little weird.

    24. “MY NAME’S BUSTER RHYMES AND IT’S PLAIN TO SEE / I LOVE TO FUCK KIDS AND EAT POOP AND DRINK PEE”

      #BARS

    25. Em took that internet critics line for Yelawolf, meh this song could of been better. Pretty obviously Busta wanted Em to build up hype for his album.

    26. its dope, i just hope tha his album gonna sound like this, and not like a young money pop album wit minaj and drake on 10 songs! its time for a real buste album like the old times!!!!!!!

      1. Dope song love how they would put as a battle challenge lol. Hip-Hop in it’s purest form, Competitive! Vets going at it.

    27. “Fucking internet bloggers
      “I sit in front of my computer all day and comment on
      Everything, I’m an expert on everything, everything sucks, play the next song”
      Guess if I hopped out your freaking laptop, you idiot prick
      With Biggie and kicked the living shit out of you, I’d be dead wrong”

      – Eminem

      1. Em been sh1tting on his fans for years about their f#ckboy antics, they convieniently forget those lines

      1. ^ He released it ‘through google’. wow, just wow…
        You can search for it on yahoo, bing and a bunch of other search engines as well; I guess that means he released it through every search engine online. It’s 2014 man, you should know more about the internet.

    28. Busta Rhymes looking Booker T, “Now can you dig that SUCKA!”
      A little messed up though how it looks like Em is about to whoop his ass in the comic. Someone deliberately did that. Just saying…

    29. Black rappers suck.

      Top 5 rappers of all time:

      Eminem
      Slim Shady
      Marshall Mathers
      B-Rabbit
      The White guy from D12

      1. This is how we drive advertising revenue . Hosting and building SEO campaigns are not FREE . Jeez

    30. em gets his due and repect as an mc so even if you’re not a fan or a 90s erra hip hop fanatic you should respect what eminem has been able to do during the last decade or so.

    31. all the hype and we get this..i honestly think its the beat that fucks this song up. the lyrics and verses r straight but the beat is terrible.

      1. I knew i would be dissapointed. The song sucks. I agree on the beat. Busta hyping this crap and we get this piece of trash song

      1. You so pussy that you studied and recorded stats about music fans instead being out there talking to the fans, lol

        You checking the list seeing if you fit in, yall a bunch of weirdcass dudes

    33. lmao niggas out here sayin “oooh em murked busta on his own shit” like no shit sherlock busta ain’t even some super lyrical type of dude it’s not like it’s hard to outrap him anyway and he still had a great verse at the end of the day so fuck outta here

    34. Start working at home with Google! Its by-far the best job Ive had. Last Wednesday I got a brand new BMW since getting a check for $6474 this – 4 weeks past. I began this 8-months ago and immediately was bringing home at least $77 per hour. I work through this link, go to tech tab for work detail,,,,,,,

    35. immitation voice. “I sit in front of my computer all day and comment on everything. I’m an expert on everything. Everything sucks.”

    36. The lyrics are not bad. Busta and Eminem do a great job, but the beat sucks. It sounds like some lame ass mixtape shit. They should have got Nottz to make the beat.

    37. #Eminem

      and another thing, Anti-Em or whatever you call yourself…you 42 years old…your Mom not even menstruating anymore so how is can that be the reason you act like that??? #lame #mrinsensitive #jerk #spoiledbrat

      you were a horrible child…you are a burden…

      every one else always beat on you … with your piss poor attitude … maybe your Mom crack a little wise #lol …but did she ever really smack you???

      TELL THE FUCKING TRUTH YOU BITCH.
      I WANT TO KNOW
      I WANT TO HEAR YOU SAY IT

      HOW YOU ARE SUCH A GOD AND YOUR MOM IS SUCH A HORRIBLE PERSON
      sick our your effing mouth and your GODDAMN #POUTING

      tell us…how its not your fault you get people riled up so that they buy your music and then tell everyone “IT’S NOT {MY} FAULT THEY GET RILED UP LIKE THAT, {I} AM JUST AN ARTIST?

      no one is asking you to befriend your Mom or trust your Mom or spend lavish amounts of money on your poor old sick Mom {cough cough…she’s dying you know}

      wouldn’t hurt you you to have some empathy for once in your life and just say to Yourself THANK YOU MOM instead of I FORGIVE YOU

      she didn’t smack you because you were well behaved stupid … so there is NO SENSE AT ALL TO FORGIVING HER YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO TRY AND PAY ATTENTION JUST A LITTLE BIT BETTER.

      (its not fun to give spanking…no more fun than it is to get them…if you behaved better or spoke up more instead of make with the wise ass comments BECAUSE YO are afraid that someone might laugh at you or that you might laugh at yourself…you don’t take life seriously enough to be acting the fool…

      ….all I am saying is you can stop hating your mom…she doesn’t deserve it anymore say for instance, than you do or so.
