Busts shit fire and common shit fire
You forgot RocAmerikka 2 by Flee Lord & Eto.
Flee Lord & A$AP Twelvyy dropped too!
Buster Rhymes did it. Couple of beautiful songs on the album, some aggresive bangers, this is what hiphop is about. All the climax ruined by the shit at the end of True Indeed. Jesus… why
The 1st half of Busta’s album is fire. Then YUUU came and it ruined everything. From Deep Thought it’s good again, but there are 5 extremely wack songs on it that is a pain in the ass.
If you streamed trippie redd album hold this L
Thank you Busta for reviving Hiphop. Finally some good music I can listen to.
Fuck Mumble Rap.
Glad you like the Busta album but there are plenty of non-mumble rap or non-Wayne clone artists out there putting out straight flame …. They just do not receive half the attention from the media or from zoomers (mainly because these little zoomie babies only listen to what social media and YouTube tell them)
Bussa Buss album of the year. This is hip hop.
Busta giving us the old bussa bus loving it
Serengeti also dropped a great album last night.
Oh! So they just gone leave out Funeral (ft Dr Dre) off Busta Album. That would of been the hardest track on the album
Where the fuck is ILL BILL
Came here to say this
Busta’s album is FIRE
Busta teased a fire beat from Dr.Dre back in February. It’s nowhere on the album. Only track I was checkin for really. Smh
