Throwback Thursdays: Busta Rhymes - What's It Gonna Be?! (1999)

Featuring Janet Jackson. Busta Rhymes crossed my mind recently, and I thought it would be a good look to include him in Throwback Thursdays. I was originally going to use the video for "Put Your Hands Where My Eyes Can See," but enough has already been said about that one. This video right here, on the other hand, happens to be a song that a lot of people tend to forget about when they remember Busta's past work.

Personally, I loved both this song and this video. The graphics were really cool, the beat was amazing, Busta killed it, and, most importantly, Janet Jackson is in the video. I'm not sure if the closeup at the 2:17 mark was necessary, but I appreciated it nonetheless.

You know, everyone is familiar with Busta Rhymes, but for whatever reason, he isn't usually mentioned among the legends of the game. I think maybe he should be, since he's been around since 1996 and he's getting ready to drop his eighth solo album this December. Over the past 12 years, he's evolved from basically an eccentric goofball to someone with legitimate lyrical skill.

Although, it seems he may be headed back to the old Busta. I love the guy either way.

Murder, Karma & Gay Dudes

History is being made on an already historic blog. Yes, you guessed it; the first ever Bonehead Athlete of the Week. Also, some discussion on Kimbo Slice's first MMA loss.



P.S. I made a technical error while taping, which will probably become evident once you click on the link and hear the crackling sounds. Sorry about the poor audio, people. But my voice still sounds pretty good, though.

Debates, Wingmen & Swag

I know Mondays suck. But I'm here to help. Late commentary on the VP debate, advice on the intricacies of the wingman, and my struggle to understand the importance of "swag".

Also, all this talk about wingmen reminds me of an essay I read a few years ago about the rules one should employ when entering the "talking" period. Hmm, I wonder who wrote that...

Throwback Thursdays: The Notorious B.I.G. feat. 112 - Sky's The Limit (1997)

I'm not crazy about this song, but I like this video a lot. To have everyone in the video played by a younger version of themselves is a genius concept. They got everyone in here, from Biggie to Puffy to 112 to Faith Evans.

Although, I must admit I'm somewhat surprised Puffy agreed to this. You know how much he loves being in front of the camera. Every time I watch this video, a part of me expects him to make a cameo.

Oh yeah, and the little kid version of Busta Rhymes is hilarious.

Informants, Nightclubs & New Friends

Happy hump day. Tonight, I talk about what to look before moving into a new city, and seek advice regarding how to go about finding new friends.

Oh yeah, and another bonehead move. It's getting hard to keep up, honestly.
