Dan’s Pick of the Week: WAIT BUSTA WAIT
Written by Omnicommie
I remember as a teen and seeing Busta Rhymes on MTV and thinking that he was part of some rapper fad that I would never understand. He was crazy, goofy, colorful and an amazing lyricist. So, I put his memory in the storgae bin in my brain of musical garbage that I’ll most likely never use. Well, the Mom in my brain must have had a yard sale and rummaged through that bin, and then the kid that lives in my brain came home from school and was all like “Mom, what the hell, you’re going to sell this? This is awesome.” Then the kid took it (Busta Rhymes) upstairs and investigated what he had just saved. This is what that kid found:
In Fire It Up, Busta gets abducted by some people who hold him hostage until a dystopian future, where he explores this 1984-ish wasteland (supposedly 2012) with the help of the NightRider theme song.
In Gimme Some Mo, Busta pretends to be in a cartoon where he terrorizes his hot Mom. He becomes a cowboy, a cop, a business man and a muscle man. Busta’s message to viewers:
Even though we getting money you can
Gimme some more
With the cars and the big crib
Gimme some more
Everybody spread love
Gimme some more
If you want it let me hear you say
Gimme some more
Finally, in Put Your hands Where My Eyes Can See, Busta is an affluent mansion owner. He participates in such activites as sparring, neon tribal dancing, running down a hallway with his elephant, and having his teeth brushed for him.
