Busta Rhymes - E.L.E.: The Final World FrontWednesday, June 23, 2004
This album is where Busta was starting to fall off. "Tear the Roof Off" was an excellent song and so was the song with Mystikal, "Iz They Wildin' Wit Us...". I didn't like that Janet Jackson crossover song, "What's It Gonna Be??!?", at all and that Ozzy Osbourne "War" song really messed up a good "Iron Man" sample. Busta was in the midst of releasing albums and/or songs every year, starring in Mountain Dew commercials, and guest-starring on TV, movies and rap/R&B songs. People were starting to get sick of him.

four years after the end of the world, and still great rapSaturday, January 03, 2004
Nowadays, it seems that all you have to do to make it in the mainstream rap circuit is to know somebody, or at the most extreme get shot for street cred. I'm sorry, but suffering bullet wounds doesn't make you a gansta anymore than wearing a bun on your head makes you a delicious cheeseburger. Rap is about one thing: words. And in that kingdom, Busta rules over all.
The whole cd is a concept album, focusing on the "cataclysmic apocalypse" which will show itself at the turn of the millenium, and Busta is there to narrate us through it, from the disturbing narration in "Only One Year Left" to the hope that comes with "The Burial Song". And in the middle is an incredibly solid rap album. I wouldn't venture so far as to say it was the best album ever, but could be the best in mainstream rap. A lot of the tracks aren't particularly special, but even those are good for blasting in your car ("Just Give It To Me Raw", "Everybody Rise").
Generally, the best tracks are found in his collaborations. In "Against All Odds", he works with the Flipmode Squad and a killer sample to make one of the coolest gangsta tracks this side of Method Man. Mystikal joins in for the pumped up "Iz They Wildin Wit Us", Ozzy lends his voice and the tune of "Iron Man" to the powerful "This Means War", and Janet Jackson teams up with Busta for "What's It Gonna Be", the ultimate grind track. But Busta's real talent is working alone, and writing the fastest rap out there. The big single, "Gimme Some More" is still incredible after hearing it edited on the radio a hundred times, and "Where We Are About To Take It" is Busta at his best: raw, rhythmic, and cooler than you'll ever be.

Save Your Money and Just Buy The Bus A Bus SingleWednesday, December 24, 2003
Most of the songs are plain and both the good ones were released on single. Save your money and buy the singles or a CD you will actually like more than a couple tracks on.
