Busta Rhymes Explains the Full Music Making Process of Calm Down w/ Eminem

[@em-tandtonymavey3373]

Busta's voice is born for rapping man!

[@mswaseem1]

True man true

[@LaughingLiftingGaming]

You right bro. Busta was borne, a couple years later his voice was born and they been a nasty duo ever since lol.

[@bronsonguzman5078]

[@TDOLLA]

look up the old video of Busta battling ODB in like a parking garage...that is two epic voices going at it...ODB was wild

[@edk2221]

[@budgetnudist1178]

Busta Rhymes' intelligence is refreshing. I always come away from other rapper interviews feeling as though my IQ dropped by a few points just for watching. Busta's stories are lucid, highly detailed and articulate and I enjoy them. He gets everyone's names right, dates and times, details and more details. It's wild.

[@Netsuko]

Budget Nudist He's a pretty smart dude. He's constantly re-inventing himself and you never know what he might come up with next. I'm not a big fan of rap, but Busta is amazing.

[@stairwaves]

+Netsuko Yoshikawa Same Here. I'm hearing a Lot of Styles Mixed up And in Hip-Hop it's Busta Rhymes And Jedi Mind Tricks. He is just Awesome. He has a cameo in Master of None wich is Even cooler.

[@LPJMagicmusic]

Budget Nudist I agree, same with most old school rappers. What I find even crazier is looking back to t.v. interviews from Janis Joplin and listening to how intelligent she sounds. I think people nowadays are extremely lazy with vocabulary and ita sad.

[@RayofVibez]

Right? He's a wise artist. A true visionary.

[@shypenguin9766]

You could just say he's smart without dissing every other rapper.

[@poppinlochnesshopster3249]

Jesus Christ Busta's voice is intense. I would shit myself if I heard that in a dark alley.

[@richpriv6675]

one of the few rappers whose voice sounds the same live and on the track.

We need more of these great collaborations with Busta and Eminem.

[@foxbear60]

Agreed! I still love listening to Hurt You. These two make magic together!

[@goatmessi454]

[@colinimhof9657]

T A they collared wit Fif on the Hail Mary reboot back in the day to go at Ja and Murder INC. Em and then produced during that beef. So technically there are 3 total.

[@mrryanstills]

Just off the simple fact that this record took over a whole year to complete, I got a whole new respect for this song cause this is one of the CRAZIEST records I’ve ever heard. They took turns adding more bars back and forth in a competitive way.

[@arlenewilson8535]

I love Busta's voice. It's so rough. Great shit.

[@blessings1015]

[@rastube5967]

[@CrackTownPooner]

They were basically battling on that record, they`re both emcees and friends emcees are super competitive. Em sent a msg when he sent Buss that 42 bar verse like... "ur not getting off that easy lets have some fun".

[@philpocalypse6322]

Busta with that voice could rap lullabies to a beat and it would sound like a hard as track.

[@KinqK00pa]

You know, it’s crazy that no one ever puts Busta in their top 10 best rappers dead or alive. A lot of people forget that Busta is a beast with the pen

[@FordPrefict42]

[@Tcrror]

@@nunyabizness6376 He really didn't. Like Cire said, Busta's verse was fucking bonkers and bananas and it got me punching walls and yelling and whatnot, but Eminem's was just as complicated and lyrically even better. Not by much, but better all the same.

[@Hypnostedon]

@@Tcrror um.. no. Bustas was just ok lyrically

[@69Fabulosity]

Moral of the story (Em is a perfectionist & Takes pride in his craft & takes it seriously)! & ain't put Nothing out unless all the verses ain't right & the song is a symphony from beginning 2end! I'm here for it👏👏👏❗❗❗

[@tyreclarke2248]

Busta Rhymes, Talib Kweli, And Mad Rapper Were the Only OG's (That i know of) To validate Eminem when he came out.

[@EmaN-yk3yj]

This song took like 1+ years, imagine how long it took for Eminem to make his album

[@poppinlochnesshopster3249]

It took more like 1 day total, they just pussyfooted around like you wouldn't believe.

[@josephvasquez7466]

They need to make another one. I don’t care how long it takes! Please

[@MarloweLucianoAR]

I loved the song, really dirty !!! great lyrics, both killed it and as a fan of Em I admit Busta in my opinion was better (i felt like his voice fit better with the beat), but none of them were weak and now that i heard the story, it gives more charm to the song !! Damn, Two Perfectionists

[@williamcolata180]

Its his voice men.. That was the taker on that collab..

[@marcflores6969]

Oh for sure, I agree with this. One of the very few songs I can listen to any time of the day and in any mood I’m in

[@saifnajj]

"Am such an 'Em fan"...Me too brother. Me too.

[@MrSecretSentai]

see most rappers aren't passionate like this now most just send in their bars and that's it they don't redo them or nothing

[@HaienTwitch]

EM i seriously on of the most underrated producers out there.

[@MrZancruz]

And that's why I Busta and EM is in my top five... Their commitment, the skill level, the determination they put in their craft, their art is on another level. 🔥

[@TonyKimtheamusementparkfan]

Eminem is so precise on how he wants to rap, where he wants to emphasize the syllables, how fast he thinks he needs to go, like little details like that to want to realy improve his craft to the level of Busta Rhymes. That's the dedication he has, and Busta Rhymes has just as much dedication as he does. Like these are two of the kings of rap music right here, no question.

[@eleanorgames2857]

Yes facts

[@lorddemon8019]

That can be called two competitive rappers elevating each other, thanks to that competitive nature of these two monsters we can enjoy a wonderful piece of art, a lot of pride for both and above all mutual respect.👏👏👏👏

[@davekemp1808]

My fave collab with Eminem & considering people always say that if Em guests on a record that it's his record now, well the fact that Busta kept up & kept even (it's too hard to say if one beat the other), that gave me a whole new level of respect for Busta.

Em won slightly but Busta came with the work though. He probably heard of what Em does to other artist and wasn’t going to let it happen to him.

Radical, I feel like a geek in the 80's watching how dungeons & dragons was made. the shit that's so dope besides timing, the undeniable product, and who produced the product is "The Story" behind it. Incredible. and to think they've been hiding this from us for so long. 06 was 8 years ago. The only other rappers I could see outputting something of that caliber is Twista & Z-ro. But that's a pipe dream for a hip hop junkie with an unquenchable thirst....but ele2 still aint came out yet.

The black industry spent so much time fighting Eminem from becoming a part of the culture, they forgot that simply HANGING with HIM will bring the best out of ANYONE. CALM DOWN and LOVE GAME are very good examples of this. BUSTA and KENDRICK faced the RAP GOD and suddenly became RAP GODS themselves. SOLID RECORDS, SOLID PERFORMANCES, all down to the simple psychological fact that they were facing EMINEM! COMPETITION is BEAUTIFUL. RIVALRY is CRIMINAL. They look alike but please, they are not the SAME.
