"I heard Eminem's verse and I got a problem with it." Busta Rhymes speaks about song Calm Down 

Honestly… its too close to call

I loved Em's but Busta just super crazy energy. But the the bar from Em where he said he's so full of self esteem that I sweat fog is bonkers!

Yes. In their own ways it was equal. Busta had energy, delivery, and it was fun to listen to. Em had lyricism, punchlines, and was inspirational to listen to. It's a tie in a sense that they put in their own mastery of the craft in it.

Eminem's, 100% for me

Busta killed it.

Just how we like it 😂😂😂

😂😂😂😂😂

😂😂😂😂😂😂

Lmfaoooo

💀💀💀

Busta too genuine for the industry, he has the right amount of confidence and humility

Greatness recognizes greatness or a great recognizes another great

For real...

​​@@falsestartfalconeveryone is dead? Have you told everyone? I think everyone will be surprised to hear it.

A lot of it has to do with Busta KNOWING that WE KNOW he sits in the upper echelon of Rap Olympia. The guys that can't be this honest, are aware that they are not. Even if they're one of "the" greats, they're not one of THE Greats. Busta is a man that KNOWS himself and his place. It's easy to be humble when you're actually on top, as opposed to faking it; "I want my damn respect" 😂😂😂😂

That's what I got out of this too. Two of the greatest ever pushing each other to be even better artists.

Yeah because rap for the last 20yrs has been a complete minstrel show so it's good to see healthy competition among MC's...

​@@snatchadams69look up @YoungNRestlessRecordz they bringing hip-hop back

Said in any real competitive thing

Its not to elevate each other. Come one with that man. Theyre elevating themselvesb

I’d actually buy that!!!

@@FlyingArtz. rs me too..

Busta is more rhythmic, cadence, range and speed kills em

Em is a cut above

​@@johnkrull7323Than Busta? Not by a longshot, fam😂!

What track is he on about..?

@@globalworks6184I”ll hurt u

​@@globalworks6184I think he's talking about calm down

​@@globalworks6184 Calm Down

​@@dariusspencer1165 I am calm, now tell me what track it is 🤣🤣

Not for 37 years man. In 2023 he'd be 32 years in the rap game. You are over by 5 years at least

@@kennedyokudo8534 you do realize that's still longer than quite a few in this comment section have been around for right? (heck i turned 31 last november) like the man been doing this shit since we was babies

@@kennedyokudo8534 eah thats the thing. i dont wanna talk down on busta but hes kinda just fooling his listeners into thinking hes spitting crazy bars by using high energetic flows to distract you

Shit I'm 37 and I remember when I first heard busts rhymes. He ain't got 37 years does he?

He’s never been underrated

🔥🔥🔥🔥

Just downloaded it u ryt

It’s not even in his top 10 but I fuck with it though

Yeah Buss went in. Honesty wanted a better verse from Em. He could've came way better than that but I still dig the song

My 2 favorite rappers!

And he learned directly from a grandmaster.

Nah it's a bitch move so he has final say on other people'srecords. Mixing a record isn't complicated and I bet pennies to Benjamins he has a recording engineer on hand

There's no way he doesn't work with an engineer on that, but it makes sense if you really care how your voice is presented.

That's why all his modern music sucks he does everything himself

The coming stayed in my CD player for months!

@@ClassicRando87years lol had it when I was a teen remember when woohaa was a new video he always been one of my favorites and can make any type of song

@@boxerboy860 flipmode squad vs def squad rolling in my shitty highschool car. Blowing out my stock speakers. Lol good times

@@ClassicRando87LETS GOOOOO damn bro you just took me back!

Hell yeah, no road trip compete with out Bussa Buss. #get low Buss!!

Can You Keep Up?

Very underrated

He been doing for so long, people just expect it...

BRB looking for it…..

There's another Busta and Twista track?! I mean, if it's untitled, no wonder I haven't heard it yet.

Definitely love from England 🇬🇧

Busta goat. Only one goat.

@@cordellmyers8415Em goat

@@cordellmyers8415 only? Nah lol

Nah, just Busta

Emcee* "MC" is a DJ moniker that means Master of Ceremonies, where they talk or "rap" while spinning to get the crowd hype or involved. Crowd control type ish.

Em on that …. I think that’s one of the ones that solidify he’s the best.Destroyed Ja Rule on that lol.

Yeah it was cool how 50 and em matched PAC but then Busta showed he can hang with PAC with his own verse. Slow flow killed it

Right

Still a friendly competition. It's what writers do. It's how mc's think in the back of their minds. Their verse gotta be the sh!t

Turns out a lot of times it’s a bit of both.

Their competition is collaboration

It's both. The competition is what makes the collaboration great.

I dont have a lot of song in my phone. But i have 3 Busta song. Calm down is one of them.

Somehow they didn't hear that part.

No he said Busta rewrote his verse after hearing Em then both went on to keep rewriting as friendly competition till each other was satisfied

@@jessicarichter6436 iirc they eventaully sort of called truce otherwise bustas 50 turned into 64 and they would've kept leapfrogging eachother ad infinitum since neither wanted to get murdered lmao

FAX

@@jessicarichter6436NAH BRUH, EM’S VERSE WAS ALREADY LAID THEN EM STATED HE HAD TO MAKE ADJUSTMENTS AFTER HEARING BUSTA’S VERSE!!!💯💯💯

Stop it Nicca 😂😂😂

Mainstream and casuals have short memory and short attention spans, that’s why

Chill out with all that😂

He can't be mentioned, because he SWITCHED up his rap style.. From a crazy arse lunatic who was used to jungle screams while he was in Leaders Of The New School (L.O.N.S), to a steady flowing lyricist, with vocal cohesion, when he went SOLO.. A G.O.A.T stays consistent and is never confused about who to sound like, or switch up style, mid way through your career!.. Or you thought Busta always sounded like how you heard him sound on EM's tracks?... A lot of these hip hop newbies out there, thinking they have a REAL opinion... Smfh!.. Who do you know, out of all the names you mentioned, that has ever switched up on their rap style??.. Raekwon?.. Redman?.. Biggie??...Tribe??.. When you heard them, you knew it was them.. When Busta switched up, it took a while for people to get used to his current flow... Please!!

@@HM-ls5eg I get the point, but the thing is I don’t buy that most fans truly believe that at all. One criticism that was constant across the entire board against Mel’s Eminem “diss” was that he hadn’t changed his flow or updated his style since the early 80’s. That was seen as something to be ashamed of and I’ve seen similar sentiment before with others.

That's 💯

Nah... Reggie Noble is top tier G

Yeah, both are in the category right under the GZA

@@Jimsock3y3 Gza/Genius is nice I fucked wit G...but I'm not feeling what you saying 😂 you tripping

@@gray3182 how am i tripping? GZA never spit a wack verse nor put out a wack album. Em has put out a couple wack albums amd several weak corny ass verses lol

There are probably 50 songs better off the top of any knowledgeable hip hop head.

@@natsusatsujinki8342 fair enough that’s your perspective I can respect that, if I was being honest I’ve mad love for both these artists and the unique skill sets so I would be biased.

Actually, one of them was Hating

Yeah you’re right he is only 1level below Eminem

Go break the bars and see why buster said em had a better verse while he tried to mimic em even holding his breath long and made a sound to show u how much he went crazy but Em verse it's not face value as buster u need brains to get why he won

@@westcoastiegangbangbang6038not on that song he wasn’t

@@siphonanzwa5818Em actually didn’t win. Busta went crazy on that track. Why you think em said his energy wasn’t matching busta at first? He rewrote his verse

@@spenser6353 they both rewrote their verses, went back and forth with it; then called a truce

Idk if he could compete with Deck. Theres very few songs hes on where he doesn't have the best verse

The universe ain't ready for that!

Or ghostface Killah imagine

He also produced poetic justice for Kendrick, I wanna rock for snoop dogg. He’s a beast.

Was it crazy mane. You could flow to Busta tho

Yeah I too didn't get that song. Instead of making a great record they just tried too hard with the amount of quantity instead of focusing on the quality. It's like it's bashing my ears. There's no break, or calmness. It's full on words.

​@@Google_Does_Evil_NowIm with both y'all on this opinion. I listen to soo many Eminem songs on the regular but this is one I just can't get into no matter how hard I try.

They did... Its called " The Clash EP" it has busta on the front like he's the hulk

I was literally looking for it😂

Exactly

Naw. I think em had a better flow..

Busta won on energy Em won on bars..what i have noticed is when people first hear the song they pick Busta the more they listen they go Em

@dewanewelch1744 naw bro...Busta won. No need to add categories to take away from the Dubya.

Not many can match Busta’s energy…

​@Hooderaw disagree. Nobody got washed on this one. They made a great song, though.

🧢

I don’t speak Gen Z but I’m gonna assume you’re saying I’m lying? At least my 6 year old son usually means lying when he says “cap” so I’ll go with that. But yeah, it’s not even close, Hurt you is a wayyyyy better song than Calm Down. Of course this is just my opinion so take that for what it’s worth

@@CorySpitznagelYh overall as a song and beat wise hurt you is better but calm down is pure bars and lyricism ,crazy cadence,energy etc

Bruhhhh you're on point with this

Very smart man! And having Dre as his mentor def helped him!

Calm down

@@ODDiSEE_ Thanks homie. 😎😎👍👍

​@@ODDiSEE_I am calm, but what's the song? Lol jk

Calm down or I'll hurt you🤛
