Takin’ It Back: Busta Rhymes- Put Your Hands Where My Eyes Can See

Busta Rhymes- Put Your Hands Where My Eyes Can See

Actually, I wanted the throwback video to be “Gimme Some More”…I will always remember that crazy video! Unfortunately, the video is not on YouTube (I guess some copyright issues). However, here’s another hot video from Busta Rhymes! Much darker than the colorful, but outrageous “Gimme Some More”, however this video is just as entertaining. Dope song to go along with some crazy tribal visuals.

What’s Up With Busta Now?: He just released his eighth studio album, “Back On My B.S.” You may have heard his singles “Arab Money” with Ron Browz and the “Respect My Conglomerate” with Wayne and Jadakiss. Dope album! Check out our review of the album in our album review section.

Electrik Red In Ya Mouth!

It took a little bit to get all of the wonderful ladies of Electrik Red together on the phone, so while waiting I had an opportunity to chat with Binkie about everything from her love for Grapefruit juice, her days on tour with fellow Def Jam artist Amerie, to a prom I was going on the evening of the interview. Check out this funny clip of Binkie singing an improvised song called, “Waiting On Your Friends”. Thanks to Electrik Red’s team for making this happen and thanks to the ladies for chatting with EarStyle.NET!

Busta’s Back On His B.S.!

Busta Rhymes “Back On My B.S.” Drops May 19th! Support him!

“Wheel of Fortune” (Intro): Dope intro track. We are treated to a choir of people singing “Back on my B.S.”. Lol! That’s Busta for you. Then the track begins with a nice old school vibe done by DJ Scratch. Nice way to start the album Bus! EarStyle.NET Rating: 4/5

“Give Em What They Askin For”: “They say we make the greatest hits. Who am I To disagree?” We feel the same way Swizzy! We can’t disagree at all. Not as infectious as “Touch It”, but it is definitely a banger! EarStyle.NET Rating: 4/5

“Respect My Conglomerate” (Feat. Lil’ Wayne & Jadakiss): You probably heard this one on the radio or saw the video on 106 & Park (I Know we did!). Features two Hip Hop artists who are on top of their game and reminisces Old Skool Busta. Dope track. No complaints here. EarStyle.NET Rating: 5/5

“Shoot For The Moon”: Busta wants to land on the stars on this one. However theres really nothing out of this world on this one. Cool album filler. EarStyle.NET Rating: 3.5/5

“Hustler’s Anthem ’09” (Feat. T-Pain): Dang right you keep hustling T-Pain. Here’s another track laced with a hook by Tallahassee’s T-Pain. Doesn’t it seem like he squeezes his way on every album? The track is cool. EarStyle.NET Rating: 3.5/5

“Kill Dem” (Feat. Pharrell & Tosh): The Neptunes! I think Busta Rhymes is on his Jamaican tip on this one…lol. Dope nonetheless. Neptunes chords, cow bells, and saxophones,nice. Haha, is Pharrell saying “Look at that muffin”. Wow, Lol! EarStyle.NET Rating: 4/5

“Arab Money” (Feat. Ron Browz): I know a lot of people hate on Ron Browz, but this track is hot. Love the sample, love the beat, it’s a pretty crazy single. Other than this being another LP from Busta, this is what really got me interested in checking out this album. EarStyle.NET Rating: 5/5

“I’m A Go And Get Ma…” (Feat. Mike Epps): Lol, Mike Epps is crazy! A little comedy relief, isn’t Busta known for that? DJ Scratch did this one too. Diggin’ the congos! EarStyle.NET Rating: 4/5

“We Want In” (Feat. Ron Browz, Flipmode Movement, Spliff Star, Show Money): Here’s Ron Browz again on a hook. This beat goes. You can’t resist nodding to this one. If Rah Digga was still with Flipmode I guess she would be on this track. EarStyle.NET Rating: 4/5

“We Miss You” (Feat. DeMarco & Jelly Roll): I feel like Akon should be on this track. I’m not saying I want him on it in anyway lol, but it just seems like one of those tracks. Not bad, I could actually see Outkast straight murdering this beat. EarStyle.NET Rating: 3.5/5

“Sugar” (Feat. Jelly Roll): “Can’t wait to taste your sugar”. Here’s the making love song on the album. Feeling it! EarStyle.NET Rating: 4/5

“Don’t Believe Em (Feat. Akon &T.I.)”: Here’s Akon! T.I. may be the best thing about this track. This one is kind of generic. I will say the song has a nice message! EarStyle.NET Rating: 3.5/5

“Decision (Feat. Jamie Foxx, Mary J. Blige, John Legend & Common) : Nice little inspirational track. All star line up, but I kind of lost interest quickly. Don’t know why? This song became background music quickly. EarStyle.NET Rating: 3/5

“World go Round (Feat. Estelle)”: This track is on some EuroPop ish. Word is that it’s Busta’s next single. This sound seems to be in so maybe it will work for him. Estelle sounds good on the chorus. Not bad, but interesting way to close this album. EarStyle.NET Rating: 4/5

Spankin’ New Video: Melanie Fiona- “Give It To Me Right”

Melanie Fiona – Give It To Me Right

We’ve been waiting for this video for a while now. Here is Melanie Fiona’s debut video for her amazing single “Give It To Me Right”. She is definitely bringing something a little different to the table and we appreciate it over here at EarStyle.NET! Look out for her debut album “The Bridge” coming this summer with production by legendary producer Salaam Remi and others. From some of the material that we heard we know teh album is going to be bananas so definitely look out for it!

Spankin’ New Video: Trey Songz- “I Need A Girl”

Trey Songz is back! Here’s his new video for the Stargate produced “I Need A Girl”. Catchy tune and a nice summer video to go along with it. Hopefully the single will help him kick off everything for his new album “Ready” which should be dropping this summer. Trey Songz is also said to appear on Amerie’s new album “In Love And War” on a reworked version of Mint Condition’s “Pretty Brown Eyes”…hmm. Stay put for more and enjoy the video!

Cool Kids: Gone Fishing

So one of my favorite groups The Cool Kids are back with a new mixtape “Gone Fishing” that’s to hold us over until they drop their debut album, “When Fish Ride Bicycles” later this year. You probably already heard of these guys before or seen them on Rhapsody TV commercials with their single, “Black Mags”. Check out their latest offering, because I am sure it’s crazy just like the rest of their material. Mikey Rocks and Chuck Inglish bring the heat! Stay put for more Cool Kids!
