(Extinction Level Event): The Final World Front","description":"Amazon.com\n\nHe's one of the most distinctive MCs around--he's taller, has funkier dreads, has great taste in samples (the Knight Rider theme), has a sense of history (\"Woo Hah!! Got You All in Check\" comes right from the Sugarhill Gang), and ooh, that growl. Ever since his days in Leaders of the New School--let's trace it back to his contribution to A Tribe Called Quest's classic posse cut \"Scenario\"--Busta's brought something special to the party. It's all there on Extinction Level Event: there's the Armageddon concept, the guest stars (Janet Jackson, Mystikal, Ozzy Osbourne), and a great soundscape to frame Busta's raps. Still, it feels like something's missing: there's no huge standout hit; the production, in the hands of someone like Timbaland, could be even better; and Busta's raps often feel like he's relying more on that voice rather than writing anything new. But it's hard to fault someone who, even with all his success, includes a skit where the B-boy gets reprimanded with the line, \"Look, you played-out player, I don't need you--I got a vibrator.\" --Randy Silver\n\nProduct Description\n\nAs a member of influential east coast crew Leaders Of The New School, Busta Rhymes became one of the most recognizable and respected figures in hip-hop. After breaking out with The Coming, Busta set the Hip-Hop world on fire in 1997 with When Disaster Strikes. Now, Busta brings his wild energy, wicked humor and larger-than-life skills to an explosive new level with E.L.E., which boasts unforgettable guest appearances by Janet Jackson and metal icon Ozzy Osborne.

Nevertheless, this is his most satisfying album to date and far ahead of the aimless efforts of some of his peers. -- Spin\n\nThe beats and sound effects don't always live up to Rhymes' energy level, but there's enough gothic funk ... to compensate for the clichés. -- Entertainment Weekly\n\nWith his most accessible album to date, Rhymes performs lyrical somersaults over blistering beats and infectious grooves. -- USA Today\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B00000F1EF\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.B00000F1EF.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Busta Rhymes\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Audio CD\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Individually inspected: Guaranteed to play perfectly or your money back.
