Busta Rymes Back on My B.S. Early Album Review

Does One of Hip Hop's Most Energetic Artists Maintain the Crown on His Latest Album?

The Reviewer
Since 2006's The Big Bang, rapper Busta Rhymes has gone through numerous issues which have long delayed his latest album. The album has gone through several different names and directions and finally Back On My B.S. is about to be released. Will Back On My B.S. be worth the wait?

The first official single off of Back On My B.S. is Arab Money which is produced and features Ron Browz. The track is a bouncy, mid-tempo hip hop track that has been tearing up the radio and the clubs. The song has even inspired a dance to go along with it.

The second single is Hustler's Anthem '09 featuring T-Pain. The Ty Fyffe produced track was not as warmly received as the first single. The production is solid but the song just sounds bland and cliché.

Respect My Conglomerate features Lil Wayne and Jadakiss. The song has even been featured as downloadable content on Grand Theft Auto IV. The Focus produced track is a standard posse cut with a very unique chorus.

Cool & Dre along with Mike Shinoda produce We Made It which features Linkin Park. The song works well as Busta sounds at home over the guitar and keyboard rifts. Mike Shinoda delivers a strong verse as well.

Cool & Dre also resurface producing Don't Believe 'Em featuring Akon and T.I. The song is more rock leaning than you would expect from Cool & Dre but it works well with all the artists involved.

Mr. Porter and Dr. Dre co-produce Decision. The song features Mary J. Blige, Jamie Foxx, John Legend and Common. The star studded track works well and show bridge a lot of music gaps.

Estelle teams with Busta Rhymes on the Jelly Roll produced World Go Round. The song is almost completely foreign than anything either artist has been involved with. The song sounds as if Busta is getting some inspiration from Flo Rida.

Kill Dem is produced by The Neptunes and features Tosh. The song just lacks the magic of previous Neptunes and Busta collaborations.

What They Be Askin' For is produced by Ron Browz. The track is just as energetic as you would expect from Busta. The beat adds so much intensity to the song.

Overall Back On My B.S. is one of Busta Rhymes' strongest albums in recent memory. The song selection, lyrical content just work well. Overall Back On My B.S. gets 7.5 out of 10. If you are a fan of Busta Rhymes make sure you pick up Back On My B.S. when it is available in stores on May 19th.
