Busta Rhymes returns with a new hit, featuring T-Pain, The Hustlers Anthem and his usual video antics Busta style. The sure summer banger of 2009, the song and video works. Fun, energized, gravitating and ear popping, Busta knows how to command his listeners with his presence alone, fancy costumes and top hats that give enough flair to do justice to this video, but I didn’t appreciate T-Pain flashing those gold teeth of his. Folks now have HDTV and it just isnt’ polite to flash your high beams to blind music listeners eyes like that.
While the video works for the kids and grown folks, the video could have had a break to flash back to an old Busta hit and remind new generation Hip Hoppers of the history of this artist who introduced an original sound like no other artist in the game. Hip Hop needs those true Hip Hop artists to return and revive the art form. When LL Cool J exited, it ended an era in my opinion. Busta, the last of the titans performance wise may just have what it takes to bring back real Hip Hop. It doesn’t have to be that gangsta. Busta proves that.
