Whose version in Calm Down was better? Eminem's or Busta's?

[@kally286]

Honestly… its too close to call

[@johnson_russell1977]

I loved Em's but Busta just super crazy energy. But the the bar from Em where he said he's so full of self esteem that I sweat fog is bonkers!

[@madpinoy5683]

Yes. In their own ways it was equal. Busta had energy, delivery, and it was fun to listen to. Em had lyricism, punchlines, and was inspirational to listen to. It's a tie in a sense that they put in their own mastery of the craft in it.

[@smokyace4917]

[@therealdannymullen]

A lot of it has to do with Busta KNOWING that WE KNOW he sits in the upper echelon of Rap Olympia. The guys that can't be this honest, are aware that they are not. Even if they're one of "the" greats, they're not one of THE Greats. Busta is a man that KNOWS himself and his place. It's easy to be humble when you're actually on top, as opposed to faking it; "I want my damn respect" 😂😂😂😂

Busta still remains one of my favorite and how he talks about how EM is picky about the record and his verses is why EM gets a lot of respect from the legends

[@DeetsandReceipts]

He mixes and master's his own records is wild. Em is that dude.

[@3Rayfire]

And he learned directly from a grandmaster.

[@smokinnplatez1426]

Nah it's a bitch move so he has final say on other people'srecords. Mixing a record isn't complicated and I bet pennies to Benjamins he has a recording engineer on hand

[@crnkmnky]

There's no way he doesn't work with an engineer on that, but it makes sense if you really care how your voice is presented.
