Busta Rhymes doesn’t get enough credit for being around so long.

He started way back in a group called Leaders of the New School. After leaving that group he became the Busta Rhymes we know today, who, interestingly enough, is actually the same Busta as before. A little while ago he got about 15% more serious. There were news stories of him beating up his fans and he was strangling people in his videos, but he was still pretty fun. (Busta golfing? Laugh out loud?)

So anyway, back to my point: Busta has been consistently consistent for close to 20 years now, and I really can’t think of anyone in hip-hop who has pulled that off as well. (Comment challengers? Bring it!) And all the while no one seems to notice.

Anyway, Busta seems more fun again and his new video is good, but I’m not linking to it. If you want to see the latest Busta you’ll have to check out RapCity this weekend, Saturday night at 11pm. (Don’t even think about checking youtube, I rickrolled all of them.)
