Synopsis

Amazon.com
In the quick-turnover world of hip-hop Busta Rhymes proves that charisma aligned with sharp intelligence and stylistic flexibility ensures staying power. He emerged in 1991 as the linchpin of Leaders of the New School, and the loose-limbed jazz inflected "Sobb Story" from that band's debut shows the strength of Busta's musical roots. He's able to court mainstream favor while staying true to his musical inspirations; he's equally at home getting frisky with Janet Jackson on "What's It Gonna Be" or using dub technique and ragga style on "Woo Hah!! Got You All in Check." His well-defined sense of fun and daring knows few limits. "Put Your Hands Where My Eyes Could See" combines deep African grooves with a sample from soft-rock specialists Seals & Crofts, while a kids' chorus from '50s musical The Ugly Duckling adds weight to the fearsome "Get Out." Busta's larger-than-life presence has made him a burgeoning Hollywood star, but Total Devastation shows that his music will guarantee his longevity. --Gavin Martin

CD Reviews

Not the best, but certainly the Most Popular

"This compliation contains almost all of Busta's singles and the tracks that have through the years of Busta Rhymes' turbulent career enjoyed the greatest success. It does not, unfortunately feature the singles off his last album (that was Genesis at the time of the release), which is a bit of a downside to the compilation. Still, to people that are not fans of Busta, but want to get a nice feel of his work, this is a certainly suitable compilation. However, this album can't in any way attract the attention of Busta Rhymes fans, as it features nothing new (also, to fans the legitimacy of the tracklisting will seem doubtable). In conclusion, if you want to get into Busta's music, this is a satisfactory starter."
It's got "Rhymes Galore".

"I must admit I was a little late getting into Busta, but now that I'm in, it's alot of fun. He has a great flow, and is definitely unique among his peers. This is a super "best of" that includes everything that I (a casual fan), have ever heard from him. Most of this is good, but my faves are "Woo Hah!! Got You All In Check", "Dangerous", "Put Your Hands Where My Eyes Could See", and "Party is Goin' On Over Here". Plus it has "What's It Gonna Be" with Janet, and the cool "Turn It Up(remix)/Fire It Up", which samples the theme from "Knight Rider". After one listen to this sweet collection, you'll be saying "Gimme Some More"."

"Busta Ryhme's "Best of Busta Ryhmes" is definately a sweet collection of his best songs. If you're a Busta fan, well, I guess this is the album for you. Also, you might wanna check out "Genesis", his latest album, which is sure to impress you."
