New York's rapper Busta Rhymes (Trevor Smith) was a member of the
Leaders Of The New School, whose
Future Without a Past (1991) and
T.I.M.E. (1993) were diligent but rather derivative recapitulations
of traditional East Coast rap.
Busta Rhymes' solo career was not particularly more original, but was way more
successful commercially, striking gold with
The Coming (1996), comprising his most famous track, Whoo-Ha! Got You All In Check,
When Disaster Strikes (1997),
Extinction Level Event (1998),
Anarchy (2000),
Genesis (2002).
The Big Bang (2006) contained the hit single Touch It.
Back On My B.S. (Universal Motown, 2009) did not contain any crossover
hits and was therefore doomed to sink in oblivion, although an excellent
batch of producer breath life into the songs:
Brownz (Arab Money),
Jelly Roll (Sugar),
Pharrell (Kill Dem),
the Neptunes (Kill Dem),
Focus (Respect My Conglomerate).
