3 Reasons Busta Rhymes Makes Me Happy

Hey y’all! I know >bounce has been a little less bouncy lately. Even though I’ve been mad busy, I hope you know I’m still thinking of you, readers. Even when I’m drinking Courvoisier and lampin with D’Angelo and Common, my loyal >bounce crew is always front of mind.

And! I’ve been thinking hard about life, and happiness. The conclusion I came to is this: I like ridiculous shit, and Busta Rhymes makes me happy. On the real. Let me count the ways:

1. He Looks Like a Muppet.
He’s got a big, wide mouth, a ridiculously long index finger, and giant pants. Yay!

2. Actual Insanity
This man keeps a machete in his car. Why? To defend against the people he’s kicking in the head, of course.

3. Rhymes Really Fast
Busta Rhymes raps so fast, he can finish a sentence before starting it. In fact, I never know what this old turnip head is saying. But who cares? He could bust it about federal interest rates, backgammon, or oatmeal, and I’d still bump that shit in the Honda. THAT’s how happy he makes me.

Go ahead, try him:

Leaders of the New School
Case Of The P. T. A.
A Future Without A Past, 1991
Not sure what this song is about. Something about high school and the Kid N Play kick step?

Busta Rhymes
Woo Hah!! Got You All In Check
The Coming, 1996
An entire song based on an offhanded callout in an old Sugarhill Gang joint. It’s in this video that Busta debuted his giant index finger.

I Love My Bitch
The Big Bang, 2006
So romantic. How could you refuse a man who admires how you fuck with the thugs? It’s not only a weeper, it’s also a perfect will.i.am-produced track.

Don’t Touch Me (Throw Da Water On ‘Em)
Blessed, 2008
This is seriously my new favorite. I mean it this time! This head nod shit will make you break ya neck.
