Earlier on in 2001, after releasing four albums with his label (Elektra), Busta parted ways with them on what was understood to be some less than friendly terms. I believe it had something to do with the way that Elektra failed to promote ‘Anarchy,’ but I’m uncertain. Regardless of that, the big name that Busta has managed to establish for himself, was sought after by many labels and then snapped up by J. Records. Now, after releasing two singles. Busta Rhymes dropped album number 5; ‘Genesis.’

Where is Busta Rhymes headed? At this point he has two options. Is he going to go down the Jay-Z road where he takes his time between albums and drops consistently hot material? Or, will he go the DMX route and release mediocre material every 6 months? With his latest effort we see him at these crossroads. I sense that he will go more towards the Jay-Z approach, as this album seems more thought out than the previous effort.

‘Anarchy’ shows us the versatility of Busta Rhymes, something that he has dragged himself away from in the last few albums. He comes with different flows, and a new production scheme to change things up a bit. This album isn’t incredible, but it is a blast of light, that proves Busta’s “major artist” credentials, and will keep him at the Jay-Z/DMX/Nas level for a few more years.

While Busta Rhymes is one of the biggest names in the Hip-Hop industry, the tale of Busta the emcee is a two-sided story. On the one side you have Busta Rhymes, the worldwide figure for the Hip-Hop community. He has blazed the world with his fiery lyricism, over the top style and unique flare that has attracted fans all over. Busta also has an extensive list of classic joints such as “Woo Hah”, “Put Your Hands Where My Eyes Could See”, “Dangerous” and “Break Ya Neck” among others. The man, the myth and the legacy of Busta Rhymes has grown to enormous lengths since his days with The Leaders Of The New School. Nobody could have envisioned this rambunctious young emcee to become a centerpiece for the Hip Hop culture.

It really hasn’t been too long since we last saw Busta on the scene with an album. In September of this year he contributed in a big way to his group the Flipmode Squad’s album ‘The Imperial’ and his last solo was just released around October time 1997. Now he’s out with a new CD. Why? Because he thinks the year 2000 is the year in which the world will end. Those who are fans of Busta will by now have noticed that he is deeply convinced that something big and bad will happen in the not too distant future. His first solo CD; ‘The Coming’ was on about the coming of the end. His second CD; ‘When Disaster Strikes’ was, well I really don’t need to explain that one and his latest album; ‘E.L.E’ could possibly be the last in the saga.

If I were to say to you that this is a deep (with the exception of ‘Do For Self’), lyrically revolutionary album then I would be lying to you, take a look at Busta’s musical history, can you honestly tell me that he flows with a lot of lyrical depth – no! The thing is though, hip hop doesn’t have to be extremes, it doesn’t need to be either very intellectual and lyrical vicious (the rough definition of hardcore rap) or the exact opposite (the definition of what’s known as ‘commercial rap) it can be a mixture of the two and it can on the whole be funny and enjoyable. Well, that’s what this album is.
