    Dieser Mann hat viel zu sagen, warum sollte er es langsam vortragen? Weil es vielleicht besser für ihn wäre? Natürlich, denn diese schnellen Raps gehen einem schon nach drei Minuten auf den Sack. Außerdem bekommt man den Inhalt der Texte gar nicht mit. Ich habe nur verstanden, daß es in "Everybody rise" um die Zerstörung der Welt geht. Was Busta Rhymes hier abliefert ist nur teilweise gut, z.B. ist bei "Keepin´ it tight" und "Do the bus a bus" nur der Refrain, bei "Hot sh** makin´ ya bounce" und "What the f*** you want!!" nur die Melodie und bei "Tear da roof off" nur die einzelnen Schlagwörter gut, die einen aber jedes Mal einen Schlag in den Magen versetzen. Das alles reicht nicht aus für eine gute Platte. Es gibt zwar noch Zusammenarbeiten mit Janet Jackson ("What´s is gonna be?!"), deren Stimme im Background zauberhaft wirkt, und Ozzy Osbourne ("This means war!!"), welche aber lieblos und ohne richtige Höhepunkte daherkommt. Die anderen Lieder gehen durch die schnellen Raps einfach unter, außer vielleicht noch "Tear da roof off" und "Gimme some more". Schnelle Raps? Was rede ich da, denn der Song ""Iz they wildin wit us & gettin rowdy with us" mit Mystikal ist das bisher krasseste, was ich in dieser Richtung je gehört habe. Hier fliegen einem die Raps nur so um die Ohren, was absolut genial ist. Ich weiß, daß dies jetzt einen Gegensatz darstellt, ist mir aber egal, klasse Song.
    Im Großen und Ganzen kann man aber sagen, daß der Gastauftritt von Busta Rhymes bei "Hit ´em high" auf dem Space Jam Soundtrack hundertmal besser war als dieses Album insgesamt.
