Busta’s voice is iconic!

[@PanAfricanist-ct3we]

He couldn't even hide it for the masked singer...i recognized it from the jump

[@zackwilliams9912]

He should be receiving the rock and roll hall of fame and the Kennedy center honors in a few years for his contributions to the culture of hip hop. His innovative music videos alongside with Missy Elliott forever changed the game of rap.

Busta’s speaking VOICE needs to be in movies. Some producer needs to create a character for him!

[@joanneweiss3864]

Watching that 50th anniversary of rap event I got into the early rap icons now that I'm retired & checking out all new genres to me and all the famous ones, so many passed already, he's unbelievable! Was thinking also need him to narrate so Audible books on music so I can listen as going to sleep😉😁

The minute black empowerment and exclusivity within our culture gets discussed it's "We gotta go" and "Let's change the subject". We are the only people that feel like we have to include everyone in our movements. Meanwhile every other culture has their exclusivity respected. Change will only come when we exclude everyone else and only include ourselves.

There gotta be a beach out there where when u look up u see whats on Bustas chirt.
