Did you like the song “Woo Ha” by Busta Rhymes?

[-]

edasto42@reddit

Yes. Absolute classic. This was many people’s introduction to Busta. There’s so many reasons why this dong landed. First, that beat was literally out of this world. It sampled a song called ‘Space’ and it sounded like nothing else coming out in 1996. That alone set it apart.

Then you get into Busta’s flow. It sounded more like dancehall toasting than other rappers out there in 96. The rapid fire lyrics contrasted from most other hip hop that was going down the smoother direction. Plus it was fun and cartoonish. Basically Busta walked so people like Tyler the Creator could run.

I could go on about this song and the video, but I think you get the picture

I have PTSD from this song. When I moved into the dorms everyone was blasting this on the big stereos they brought from home. Constantly heard that bass line through the paper mache walls every day that whole first year.

I like any song by Busta

I loved Coolio and Busta Rhymes. It’s just fun music.

You broke your neck before “Break Ya Neck” came out? I feel ya.

Hey, you were still in check!

[-]

Enough_Structure_95@reddit

I still love it!

[-]

Corporate-Scum@reddit

It was dumb then. It’s dumb now. Busta rode “Scenario” to the bank.

[-]

ipainttreesandstuff@reddit

Fuck yeah. And the remix with odb. I just watched the video on Saturday again.

[-]

pi_guy@reddit

I saw Busta Rhymes open for Wu-Tang Clan a few years ago and ODB's son came out and did "Woo Ha" with Busta near the end. Everyone was hyped up!

Its such a fun song!

[-]

ShivvyMcFly@reddit

Only song from him I do like

[-]

Tylerdurden389@reddit

Made me a fan when I saw the video on MTV when I was 11 years old. Funniest rapper ever (at the time for me). Can't say I remember much of the album outside that song though. The next album had lots of good ones though.

The entire album, The Coming, is amazing. I played it in my car endlessly, and still do sometimes. Busta is great.

[-]

Used to. Still do, but I use to, too

[-]

Radiant-Mycologist72@reddit

Yeah, I didn't like it either. Like some of his other stuff so maybe I'll like it now.

Loved him since the very first second I heard this song.

While more of an ensemble piece, Flipmode Squad Meets Defmost Squad is fantastic as well.

I've never heard it, but I can guarantee I'll hate any song that's titled a noise a child would make.

[-]

Narc78@reddit

This song was so crazy. His rhymes, the beat, the video. Still a banger.

[-]

dwreckhatesyou@reddit

In the common parlance of my people: Duh.

[-]

Senior-Afternoon-786@reddit

Low to mid tier for Busta. I preferred leaders of the new school to his early solo career and that has everything to do with the sound engineering and not really Busta’s flow or cadence. He has always had a solid trajectory with flow development but the producers and beat makers around him had varying results.

Compare Woo Ha to say, his part in Scenario by ATCQ, and tell me I am wrong.

[-]

mondomiketron@reddit

The ODB remix was so tits

[-]

meizhong@reddit

All except for predicting the world was gonna end in 1999, he was on point! Still good now.

[-]

catsoncrack420@reddit

No. It was the studio production era of Hip Hop , more access to bigger production budgets, less raw organic sounds. He lost some street cred for that in NYC.

[-]

sorryforyachtyrockin@reddit

Loved it. Listened to Busta back from the L.O.N.S. days.

[-]

Remarkable_Major7710@reddit

Scenario is one of the greatest posse cuts of all time!

I really liked Charlie Brown, I thought he was on Busta’s level as an MC, but just never blew up the same way

[-]

Wreckingshops@reddit

I won't put Charlie on that level but he was solid. Dinco was never that great and it takes a lot to salvage his part of "Scenario" because it starts so hot w/ Phife and Charlie at least maintains the hype. Takes Q and Busta to bring it back big.

I heard you rushed and rushed to attack...

[-]

BleechInYourEye@reddit

But Dinco rates more than 4…

[-]

dumpsterfiremktg@reddit

Huge Busta Rhymes fan but yes, Charlie Brown was absolutely super talented and charismatic! I don't even know the story but it really sucked he didn't get a chance to do a solo album. My theory is that Leaders second album bombed and the world was enthralled with Busta's verse on scenario which basically was the catalyst for his hall of fame solo career, leaving the rest of LONS in the dust. They were a fun group though and really creative.

[-]

Remarkable_Major7710@reddit

They had a very public break up live on MTV, and C Brown resented Busta’s success, so I think he did it to himself, sadly.

[-]

Watched this in erview with Dante Ross about LONS recently, the whole story is really interesting. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qgfR7QO1GnQ

hyzerKite@reddit

Was what my hs graduating class was yelling walking out of the gym with our diplomas. Busta ended up being even more legendary than at that time. From Leaders of the New School to now is a hell of a journey with everyone loving you. True,unique. king of hip-hop. I actually declared the creative style hip-hop and the hard shit rap, back in the day. Like NWA was rap, and Tribe Called Quest was hip-hop. Seams funny now.

To each their own but there are much more hateable songs from that time

No.

[-]

Fair_Blood3176@reddit

I'm a big 90s hip hop fan but I absolutely hated this song.

I like "Ginmie Some Mo" by Busta.

[-]

Withnail_I_am_I_am@reddit

So you must've hated Slam by Onyx, too. I got pulled into rap by the gimmicky shit and wasn't a fan of East Coast rap until later on.

[-]

Fair_Blood3176@reddit

It's more the flow and the beat I'm not into. There's a lot of other gimmicky shit I was into like "Make em say uhhh". I actually went out and bought that CD and realized the entire album was dreadful.

I definitely was a big time west coast rapper guy at the start. Although I was really into Wutang and Bone Thugs all at the same time.

[-]

Withnail_I_am_I_am@reddit

Yeah, I was West coast. Buddy of mine had all the CD's of the East Coast and I was like, what is this shit? MTV didn't play East like they did West and that was where I got all my music. And Houston, where I'm from, mostly played Houston rap.

[-]

Fair_Blood3176@reddit

Yeah one of the first CDs I bought was Westside Connection and this was right after seeing the Bow Down video. I literally know the entire album by heart I've listened to it so much. Such an agressive angry album. They had a song dedicated to hating on the East coast and absolutely zero hints of any R&B which they also hated.

Ain't no bitches singing on dis record!

[-]

BleechInYourEye@reddit

Did you ever get Mack 10’s first album? You’d like that if you love the WS Connection

[-]

Fair_Blood3176@reddit

I actually haven't! I'll probably do that next as I've already collected Ice Cube's discography and WC.

WC is my favorite of the 3, his lines really hit hard. His album Guilty by Association is great.

[-]

BleechInYourEye@reddit

Tbh everybody else Cube put out had dope albums worth checking out too. From Yo-Yo to Kam, and Lench Mob, Mack 10, Cube’s great run wasn’t just his own albums

[-]

Fair_Blood3176@reddit

The post 9/11 Westside Connection album was pretty great as well.

Although I do have most of cubes solo album, the only one I spend a lot of time listening to is his War album. There's a lot of great tracks even if his "side kick" guy Short Chop was pretty horrible.

cmt38@reddit

[-]

babyBear83@reddit

Busta had some insane rhymes though, you gotta hand it to him. Not that every song was a hit but he is lightening fast. His style was distinct for that era of hiphop and I don’t like a lot of that stuff. There are a few songs I like from him though.

Busta was consistently. He had at least one or two bangers on every album. His features were fire too. He wasn’t the best, but consistently kept you hype.
