(Extinction Level Event): The Final World Front, thereby erasing all of his follow-up projects from our timeline, probably. Is the album we’re about to discuss today the same project folks such as Just Blaze and 9th Wonder got to hear first? Definitely not, but the fact that we’re even listening to a brand new Busta album in 2020 is a feat in and of itself.Įxtinction Level Event 2: The Wrath of God is positioned as a direct sequel to Trevor’s third solo album, 1998's E.L.E. That something? For me, anyway, it was the co-signs from his peers in the music industry over the past couple of years, all of whom allegedly listened to an early version of Extinction Level Event 2: The Wrath of God and proclaimed it to be the man’s best work. But then again, I’m here writing about his tenth album after having been almost entirely unimpressed by Year Of The Dragon, his last full-length effort which he only managed to release for a short time through Google Play before it was deleted from the server, so obviously something went right for our erstwhile Dungeon Dragon. Which was never really going to work, because it’s 2020 and the last Busta album we all seem to agree to be “good” was The Big Bang, which was released fourteen fucking years ago. Its midnight release had been preceded by relentless promotion from Trevor “Busta Rhymes” Smith, who attempted to use everything from his friend Swizz Beatz’s Verzuz series (unsuccessfully) to the final debate between Joe Biden and some orange asshole to push his project into the current narrative.
While Pharrell held down the hook and Diddy provided some much-needed smooth talk to the equation, "Pass The Courvoisier Part II" can still set off any function on any given day, just off of the strength of Busta's delivery.After eight years and multiple false starts, Busta Rhymes finally managed to drop his tenth solo album, Extinction Level Event 2: The Wrath of God, last week. Skateboard P's funky synth-layered production breeds high-energy which could only be matched by Busta Rhymes. However, it also contained "Pass The Courvoisier Part II" ft. The rapper delivered anthems on this project like "Break Ya Neck" - one of Busta's best songs of all time. Today marks the 20th anniversary of Busta Rhymes' Genesis.
Fat Joe said it best: rappers are scared to face off against Busta in Verzuz. The legendary rapper's catalog is vast, providing smash singles over the course of his career, eye-popping visuals, and maintaining one of the sharpest pens in hip-hop. Over the past year and some change, there's been a massive debate surrounding a worthy opponent for Busta Rhymes. 4 MAKE IT STOP Celebrating the 20-year anniversary of Busta Rhymes "Genesis."
