"When is Busta Rhymes gonna give it up? Since 1990, Bus-A-Bus has been a fixture in hip hop. Seven solo albums and three record labels later and he still tries to break our necks. Its been 3 years since his last CD (his last with Aftermath). And this album has been pushed back since late last year. That shows no faith from the record company. So now the question is: Do people still have love for Busta Rhymes? "Back On My B.S." attemps to answer that question.



Busta blames bad promotion for his bad record sales of his last album. I can agree because it was actually pretty good. But now I'm beginning to wonder if that was Busta's last stand. Lately, Busta has been known for his club joints and he doesn't disappoint with songs like "Arab Money" ft Ron Browz. He gets assistance from Lil' Wayne and Jadakiss on "Respect My Conglomerate". "Hustler's Anthem" ft. T-Pain is fun with classic Busta flow. And Busta gets reflective on "Decisions", ft Jamie Foxx, Mary J. Blige, John Legend & Common. This is the best cut on the album. That was the good. Now for the ugly. Busta has never been known as a great lyricist, but he seems to take a step back even further on "I'm A Go And Get My...". "World Go Round" ft. Estelle is terrible. The beat is cartoon-ish it shoulda been on Common's `Universal Mind Control'. Sometimes with a Pharrell produced track its hit or miss, "Kill Dem" misses the mark terribly.



This is not the best we seen from Busta. His last CD was better in everyway. But if you liked him before, you won't be disappointed. He's not reinventing himself, he just gives us more of what we want from Busta...Energy.

"i say that because it does have typical busta on the cd but at the same time it has the busta that always keeps up with the times as far as riding the bandwagon by getting t payne and ti and folk like that on the cd but hey what can i say i guess it shouldnt be surprising busta got them. the overall cd starts out great and kinda thins in the middle but then picks back up toward the end. of course bust smashes the lyrics on here but i just wish he would get more dj scratch produced songs like he use to. anyway still a dope cd so real hip hoppers please go pick it up!"
