RHH: This is a topic that should be dead by now, but I'm gonna bring it back up anyway...?

BQ: Cory Gunz....and Charles Hamilton

Sorry i can't click links at work....what is he talking about????

EDIT:

Well if he is talking about Ne-Yo...i don't see how one remixed half assed hip hop song from a R&B artist could do all of that...

If he is talking about Lil Wayne....I don't see how a bunch of people jumping on one track increases the amount of sales for hip hop as a whole....not only that, but one album doesn't save an entire genre....Especially with all of the red tape surrounding the sales of that particular album...

Personally...i think he was bandwagoning just like the rest of those artist...which sucks because i hold busta in a very high regard...But this isn't anything new...

The funny thing is....i bet you he is kicking himself in the @ss for that comment now...especially after BOMB dropped....pun intended...

Wayne didn't do sh*t.....but hey he said it himself...it ain't about rap...it ain't about skill....its about being a superstar....

seriously...who the hell would consider a guy with that logic a positive figure?

EDIT: Bangladesh???? Oh god....ok...

Me and my fiance' we're talking about hip hop yesterday....she listen to me make music...talks to some of the people i mess with...and works at a club...she knows the deal with beats....LAST NIGHT, i recreated that a milli beat to show how simple people are in hip hop...simply put...if you like simple rhymes...you probably going to like simple beats....i made it in 5 minutes on a MM6 using stock sounds and slight pitch correction.

So he's saying that THAT simplistic beat saved hip hop because mad dudes were on WAYNE'S d*ck at the time and jumped on the track? C'mon son...lol.

But i will add this....Busta really likes beats like that...to be fair sh*t like this is right up his alley...so maybe he's just being biased from his personal taste in beats....

No it didn't save the game at all. Maybe to you, it kind of made you into a hip hop head cause your interest of hip hop increased after it came out. But, I kind of think it ruined hip hop. People always want to find something/someone to criticize. What did Wayne do? Sell a million in one week? So, that brought along a lot of haters. That's why people are saying "Lil Wayne effing killed hip hop!" and "Rap is not rap without a c in front of it". To be honest, the game was never bad. If you are talking about the game by record sales and publicity...then I say Eminem saved that. People haven't seen his type of controversy in hip hop, really, since the west coast in the 90's and the Tupac/Biggie ish. But, after all that was through, hip hop sort of declined in 97-98, and then Eminem came along, and he sold (Not sure of the number) but a whole lot with The Marshall Mathers LP and The Eminem Show. He also brought a lot more of the white hip hop fans (Including me. I discovered Eminem and hip hop when I was around 9 and 10 when 8 Mile came out...I fell in love with hip hop around then...) In my opinion, Eminem saved hip hop. Lil Wayne just brought a lot more female fans to the game. Which isn't bad by all means, but it kind of gives hip hop a bad image.

BQ: My favorite version of A Milli was the one Cassidy did. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=so2WIoPCR50&

Wow, ok lets get a few things clear

First of all, Busta Rhymes is the EPITOME of a sellout. Veteran or no, he's crossed over so far into pop that he has no credibility to be saying anything.

Second of all, no that album did not save anything. Just because it got you into hip hop doesn't make it good.

Third of all, if your argument is that it saved hip hop because it sold a lot of albums, that's just retarded. The Massacre (another shitty album) sold a million in a week too and has gone on to sell almost 10 million copies. It only came out 3 years before Tha Carter III. By your logic, someone could argue that The Massacre saved hip hop. Think about it, that makes zero sense.

no i don't agree...a millie or the carter 3 did not save hip hop, it ruined hip hop...it may have made rap more commercially successful again with that mainstream pop ****...but it did nothing for hip hop.

the beat was terrible but it was popular, people loved it and loved wayne not bangladesh, this didnt start the whole decline in quality mainstream hip hop but it was one of the driving points.

BQ: iv heard a few, the best lyrically, i feel, is crooked i's!

How high do you think Busta Rhymes is in this video?

It's a pretty sick beat. Too many dudes have freestyled over that beat not to recognize its versatility, so even then Busta's words shouldn't be entirely dismissed.

I can't listen to what he's saying, so I might be out of context, but let's take it back to the golden era, when hip hop first really made it's jump to the mainstream spotlight. MC Hammer contributed to that more than any other hip hop artist. He's still not a respectable artist, and neither is Lil Wayne.

Ha ha ha....I needed that laugh.

Not from the video, but from the answer some of you clowns are giving.

I can't believe some of y'all are denying the phenomena that was " A Milli".

Ha.. "Why it sound like he sayin my name.. Chamilli Chamilli"

"Big breath like you inherited Shaqs kidney"
