Video: Busta Rhymes ft. Rick James - In the Ghetto


It must be hard being Busta right now. 4 singles, 5 music videos, still nothing to show for it. All this promotion and only 469,000 scans? Dre must really have a lot of faith in this man.

This Busta video is borderline wack

2. B-Boy P Says:

Bus just blew his whole Aftermath advance check and album budget on jeweleries.

3. Magno Says:

Somebody’s looking to get dropped real soon.

4. D-Syfa Says:

“He lost 26% of sales this week, dropping 9 spots to No. 37.”

damn!

at least he doing better than pimpalicious

5. Nana Says:

^who is pimpalicious

6. Fizzle Says:

7. D-Syfa Says:

@Nana

Ma bad I meant Pimp C
I think he’s album is called Pimpalicious or something

8. Corey Says:

I wonder…whatever happened to “New York Shit”? wasn’t that getting any airplay?

It’s Pimpalation I think

10. D-Bo Says:

Why is this guy getting shine when he won’t tell the cops who shot his bodyguard?
To paraphrase the roots “it don’t feel right”

busta is suspect

12. Commish Says:

that joint with Q-Tip “Get You Some” is the best track on the CD. That should be getting some run.

That song is horrible. I like their second joint better “You Can’t Hold the Torch”

14. GDub Says:

Busta Rhymes is just that…a busta. The Big Bang is ass cheeks.

15. Rizoh Says:

I don’t know about y’all but I like this joint. I will, however, say that there’s something weird about strolling about in the ‘hood with plenty of jewelry, while bemoaning ghetto life.

16. Ken Says:

George Bush needs to take a stand against hip hop. It needs to be banned from America because of people like Busta Rhymes.

17. G Off Says:

They keep choosing the wrong singles. The Stevie Wonder joint should have been released rather than this one. If they thought NY Shit was going to move units, they were wrong. Touch It should have had only the first video and then go to one of the Dre tracks (or at least Dre sounding tracks, like half the album). There are 4-5 potential good singles on this album and they only chose one.

18. RD Says:

Yea, the album is really tanking in spite of radio singles and quality production. It’s unfortunate. The song is dope, nonetheless.

this is one of the best cds this year…ppl should be out buying, it and suporting busta, and dre….best songs, get you some, don’t get carried away, cocaina, goldmine….so many good tracks…i think get you some would have made a good single…i really dont like rick james part on ‘in the ghetto’ but busta’s part is good.

20. Ivan Says:

This song is one of the reasons why I bought the album. Along with the Stevie Wonders joint….that track shoulda been the 2nd or 3rd single…Stevie’s presence would have worked wonders for Busta’s sales, I believe….

G Off, you snatched the words right out my mouth, lol. Wrong singles indeed. I wonder what happened to Dre. He used to be great at picking singles.

22. Nana Says:

At this point they might as well drop a video for every song on The Big Bang. That’s pretty much what it’s gon take to go platinum.

23. Bay Kid Says:

the album will eventually go plat, its just a matter of when

24. Jojo Says:

NY Shit was a better song but it’s not a good single

25. O.O. Says:

Rick James still murdering tracks even in his death

26. Pajiba Says:

my favorite song on the whole album

27. Rizoh Says:

They need to let Rick rest in peace. The shit’s getting redundant. Still, I can’t deny the fact that this song is pretty solid. Not perfect, but it’s one of the better songs on The Big Bang.

28. O.O. Says:

in retrospect “been through” would of been a greater single
