Busta Rhymes’s The Big Bang is a great disc, in which the veteran rhyme-slinger proves that despite being an old-timer in the rap game (15 years and counting), he can still bust fluent rhymes.

“Been Through the Storm” (featuring Stevie Wonder) is one of the best rap/R&B collaborations of the year—and should earned both of them a Grammy at next year’s awards ceremony.

And Busta says it best on the J Dilla-blessed “You Can’t Hold the Torch” (featuring Q-Tip):

Aiyyo, I ain’t bringin’ they names up/
These niggaz sound trash, straight foulin’ the game up/
When I see them feel like breakin’ they frame up/
DuPont registry, talkin’ about somebody else cars/
Motherfuckers better step up their bars/
Instead of frontin’ in the game like niggaz really are stars . . .

Word. Tell ‘em Bussa-Buss, these rap niggas are lame.
