It Ain't Safe No More

by

Busta Rhymes

Edit

1.(Intro) - A funny intro, kind of hard to hear the so called "kid."

2.(It Ain't Safe No More) - The lyrics are superb, the beat will have to take some getting used to. 3/5

3.(What Can You Do When Your Branded) - Good lyrics, good chorus, good beat. 5/5

4.(Call the Ambulance) - The beat is something your can bob your head too, good flows by Busta and other guy, I don't know who he is. 5/5

5.(We Goin to Do It to Ya) - Good beat, good flows, good chorus.

5/5

6.(What Up) - Hmm....., this one here has a beat that you would get tired of, even though it's lets than 3 minutes, but again Busta has good lyrics, bad beat, ok chorus. 2.5/5

7.(Turn Me Up Some) - Mellow beat, has Redman in the background, but Busta raps in an annoying way, you might get tired of it, but agian, good lyrics, an ok beat, chorus hmmm..... 2.5/5

8.(Make It Clap) - I dont even need to expalin this, good song, Spliff Star shuts this s**t down also. 5/5

9.(Take It Off Part 2) - If your like me, then you will also be tired of a lot of rappers using "Indian" style beats, but it's tight, tight lyrics, tight song. 3.5/5

10.(Taste It) - Good beat, kind of a vulgar song, but who cares,

good lyrics, good beat. 4.5/5

11.(Hey Ladies) - This song is also one of the best, good beat, excellent lyrics, a chorus that'll get stuck in your head, good song. 5/5

12.(I Know What You Want) - Some guys might think this is one of the weakest songs on here, buts it's not. It's a pretty good song features the Flipmode Squad and Mariah Carey, good beat, good lyrics, good song. 4.5/5

13.(Riot) - This song was a let down, the name makes you think of something wild and crazy, but it's not, beat is boo-boo, lyrics help this song a lot. 2.5/5

14.(Hop) - This song is a excellent, I think it should be his next single, it does wanna make you wanna hop, good beat, good lyrics, good song. 5/5

15.(Together) - This song is tight, not bad, not the best, but one you could listen too. 3.5/5

16.(Struttin Like a G.O.D.) - This beat is sweet as hell, the lyirics are good, just a plain good song. 4/5

17.(Struggle Will Be Lost) - The chorus is way too long and tedious, but the the beat is not that bad, lyrics again help this song. 3.5/5

18.(Till It's Gone) - Well this is just me, I don't like songs about rappers and other artists singing about their early life (Except Eminem, he does it the best), but this beat is ugh, lyrics can't help it, it is probably the worst song on here.

1/5

19.(Make I Clap Remix) - This is just as good as the first, except Sean Paul f**ked this s**t up, if he was only in the chorus it would have been better than the first, but nooooo, he had to have a verse to "rap" his lyrics you can't understand. But again Spliff Star, in my opinion, did better in this one than the original. 5/5

All in all Busta Rhymes has another platinum CD coming, go and buy this today, it is worth your precious time and money.

This is certainly not a bad album, but it is merely disappointing, as it does not meet the high expectations Busta's 3 previous album have set. Both singles off the album (namely, "Make it Clap" and "I Know What You Want") are easy on the ear and pretty nice. "Call the Ambulance" is a complete banger, the last 4 tracks of the album are very original and extremely enjoyable (one of them is even serious, personal and retrospective). However, these are all the album highlights. In all the other tracks, Busta Rhymes has gone into experimentations with beats, rapping strategies and collaborations. Sadly none of them work. There are vast discrepancies between the pace of the beat and the pace of the vocals on particular tracks. Certain collaborations on the album fail to expose Busta's unique style. Some of the songs are too analogous in terms of vocals and content. Still, as I said above, there are about 7 excellent tracks on this album, if that seems to be worth the money, there is no reason, why you should not own this album. But to me this album is still rather misleading on my expectations.
