I LOST MAD RESPECT FOR BUSTA!! Signing to Young Money seems like an attempt to stay relevant (I won't state desperate 'cause he's Busta). What did Chris Brown do after he beat the shit out of Riri-Wayne, Fat Joe, Game, DJ Khaled, Nicki singles-Wayne, T-Pains new album-Wayne, even Bow Wow has a song coming out now. I understand the business move-it IS a business-but this man has 20 years releasing records with at least 4 classic ones under his belt. Did I mention he worked with DILLA?!?!?!
Smh. The only plus I see (beside the obvious lucrative one for him, just in time for the tax write offs too!) is the younger generation being introduced to his earlier work. The Drake fans who first heard of him on "Best I Ever Had", the dismissive and shallow minded 19 year old girls with bad taste in R&B who only know Busta for any recent remix, "Touch It" or that song with the Black Eyed Peas guy.
I'm not a YM hater, I just believe this is a sell out move coming from a veteran artist. I'm really not looking forward to his next records but hopefully he'll bring something DIFFERENT to the YM roster, will be treated as a priority on the label and have creative control. I'd hate to see Busta end up like Snoop nowadays. Well...all we can do is hope for some dope music.
