Hadn't heard this in a minute and felt compelled to digitize it. (Thanks to Monk for puttin' it in the mix last week.) But this right 'chea is a prime example of how sampling multiple "grails" (Stone Alliance, 24 Carat Black, even a dash of this just for good measure) could add up to something of quality (never a sure thing) in the right hands (i.e. Paul Mitchell's hands). I was also struck by how not unconventional Busta's flow now sounds when I remember distinctly thinking how off-the-wall it seemed back when the record dropped. Though I was never dude's biggest fan I gotta give it up to him - he's always been able to flow extremely well to music. Something an entire generation of NY rappers (epitomized by this fella) seems unable or unwilling to do. Something rappers from other regions never stopped doing. That's why NY fell the f*ck off.
