Here's Busta's new video for the new single off his upcoming album, The Big Bang. The song features Kelis and was produced by Will.I.Am of the Black Eyed Peas, and Gabrielle Union co-stars in the video.
Method Man, who was at one point the most visible member of the Wu, has been relatively quiet over the last couple of years while fellow group members Ghostface and Raekwon have soaked up all the attention. Now it appears that Johnny Blaze is poised to make a comeback and two new songs hit the streets this week to get the ball rolling. The first track which I posted earlier this week, is an innocent enough collaboration withLauryn Hill called Things They Say.
The second track, which is more my style, is a mixtape type joint featuring Fat Joe and Styles P called Yah Mean. It's a decent track that has the 3 vets spitting over a grimey New York type of beat, but it's nothing to really write home about. What I found interesting was this line that Meth spit that could only be aimed at one person in particular:
New York New York
Rocks tube socks and Timberlands
'Cuz hip hop ain't feeling them
Flip flops they feminine.

um feelin the line but fuck meth takin a stab @ jay . meth's a wicked mc but he a dirty lil bum compared ta hov
Isn't Meth STILL ON DEF JAM?
yea he's still on def jam, i dont get why he's attacking jay ????
Now that shit is funny even the Jay Z fans will laugh at that one. Jay is top 5 in my book but that dont mean that he cant be clowned I mean if the Pope can get rift on than your God MC can get rift on.
Yall always starting some shit...He didnt say chancletas, and he didnt say Jay-Z. Niggaz complain about all this "beef" shit and yall da ones startin it....Relax and enjoy da music. How NY gon come back wit a corny ass line starting friction between the supposedly "veteran" artists.
Does Jay-Z wear flip-flops?? I saw the video that killa Cam did about Jay-Z. JJ DID have on flip flops in the video. So does Jay-Z wear them or not?? Someone please explain!
Does Jay-Z wear flip-flops?? I saw the video that killa Cam did about Jay-Z. JJ DID have on flip flops in the video. So does Jay-Z wear them or not?? Someone please explain!
why does he have to be comin at Hov everybody wanna turn somethin into a beef or somebody has to be takin shots niccaz need to fall back and jus listen to the damn music stop analyzin sh*t....
Men do what they want, boys do what they can.
He's attackin Jay cause yall clowns bow to this chump like he allows you to breath....
I saw Busta on 106&Park talkin that "Im on some new york ish"....yeah right muthafukaz...no matter how yall try to talk it up....the east ain't neva comin back cause THE SOUTH IS HERE NOW!
jay z is not God, maybe if you clowns came to that realization you might be able to resurface on the hiphop scene....until then keep praying for Jigga to drop a disc and save ya asses...
Damn, the hood music critics are at it again !!! Dissecting for nonsense...
Jay-Z this, Jay-Z that
Jay-Z that, Jay-Z this
Get off Jay-Z dick
What y'all niggas get front page articles, y'all mention Jay-Z name
Jay-Z, Jay-Z, in Jay-Z news...
I think N*99az are mad cause they miss him in tha game...seriously, looked at how f*cked up it is now... THE SOUTH is on TOP b/cuz all NYC artists do is start beef 4 no necessary reason & y'all are jst adding more the fuel to it... C'mon SOHH, leave this type of shyt alone & give us some real headline stories...
Meth ain't attackin jAy. Its funny how dudes always try to say they hate the beef in hip hop and blahzay blah. Then a rapper throw a line and err-body start assuming shit. If you notice thats how a majority of the beefs got started. especially the biggie-pac shit if anyone was really lookin (and most of you weren't). misunderstandings spread faster than Aids in hip hop and niggas need to stop thawing the beef so it won't cook. And by the way, don't mostly Cali and country niggaz rock flip flops and tube socks?
Wow that was pretty stupid. Since Jay was wearing sandals one day, now everytime someone refers to sandals and flip flops, There Has To Be Beef With Jay. Try harder.
why jay-z ignoring beyonce
why jay-z collabing wit nas
why jay-z aint talking to dame
why jay-z take the roc-a-fella name
why jay-z this
why jay-z that
You all remind me of cam'ron wit Jay all in ya mouth let that man live his life and stop putting his name in stuff. Meth spit a general bar, why would he attack Jay? Yall could've came better. He asked you in 96' can he live dang can he ever just live?
LOL. Niggaz swear that Jay-Z is the greatest. What's even funnier is that this nigga has the nerve to call himself god M.C.
How you gonna call yourself god M.C. when Nas ripped you a new asshole? NYC voted and confirmed that Nas destroyed him. The people have spoken, that's it, there's no debate to be made.
On a different note, why certain M.C's be talking, hoping for a "verse" from Jay-Z on their records? Niggaz need to get off Jay's dick. Just for the record, Jay has NEVER had a first week sales number like Eminem or even 50 Cent for that matter. Is a "verse" from Jay-Z supposed to make you sell more records? Fuck outta here.
As for the south "being here now," they're only here or, that's what it seems like because that is all the radio is playing on the airwaves.
This music from the south is being played a lot because that's what the program managers at the radio stations want to hear. Give them some bigger payola checks, and I'm sure they will start playing more of that east coast hip-hop. Beef has nothing to do with anything.
that busta video is hot
Meth may not be taking shots @ Jay but being that Meth's last efforst have been type wack. He need the limelight of beef or controversy. Believve me i think his move is strategeic in messin with Joe and Styles P. Interscope Jackson will definatelty put the final touches on meth's carreer. He will better go back to Redman!
Busta is gonna blow! The video and track is hot!When is the release date. It's a good look for Will I am as well as Busta. The white kids will enjoy this one! Aftermath is trying to hit all markets with this BIg Bang SHH**.BIG BANG IS GONNA GO DOUBLE PLAT 4 sure! He betta hurry up and put it out on the market before Dre starts to catch feelings and push Busta's project waaaaaaaaaaaay back! Dre can sometime act like a bit***> Hurry up with DETOX Already! DAMM!
Get that money and get ready for a wrongful civil suit filed by izzi's family! Get tha money right now!
I just cant believe Jay-Z has gotten so big that everything in this world revolves around him.
According to this verse, SOHH NYC would have you believe Meth has declared War, its gonna be Wu vs Roc now, bla bla bla.
Maybe next week if Memphis Bleek says he dont like to wear suits, y'all headlines are gonna say " Bleek and Jay have Beef!" or whatever. If Kanye decides to give Stan'Ron a beat, there will front page headlines of how Kanye has defected to DickSet and bla bla bla.
Get a fucking life and let the man live his. 50 is going out of his way for attention. Give it to him. Busta and T.I. are doing big things to promote their albums, give them the attention.
For the last 6 months I've heard the stupidest shit from you so called journalists/bloggers/need-a-lifers like Jay and B breaking up because she was chillin in the pool by herself. Or Jay's running for President cuz he dining with Clinton. You niggers, that's right, niggERS need to get off his dick and let the man breath.
Tell me something real, like Jay signing somebody or announcing some release date or something. Not Meth rapped about Flip Flops so it HAS TO BE Jay....
And how u know it was for Jay-Z? Game is the most Flip Flop nigga in da industry and he aint from New York, why cant you think it was for him if it was for anybody?
Get a Life
I agree that it's just a conclusion people are jumping to. I doubt he's going at Jay. With all of these years of being below the radar on the beef scene, what would Meth have to gain by dissing Jay-z even indirectly?? That ain't his style. If it is a stab, it is a bitch made stab at the south and the west coast. The South and the West rocks flips flops and sockson the regular. Look at the West Coast videos and movies like Menace 2 Society. And I live in the South, so I know we get down here. But it's weak and cowardly, if he wants to dis the South or the West. He should've come more clever and stronger.
yo Inside Man...it's not that Jay-z has never sold more records than 25 cents & Em in the first week... It's that his verses are off the hook b... If u have a Jigga verse on a track, it's like a motivation to step ur game up & try to stay with the ni99a, so that's why u won't deny a Jay-z verse...
Now tell me dat the "Renegade" verses by Eminem aren't one the best dat u've heard from him??? dat's rite... Jigga's verses are food 4 thought suckas... NOw u n*99az better stop hating on a retired rapper... g'zzz...he been gone for 3 years and y'all talking about him like he jst dropped an album...lol
Yeah, Nardo, thats just what I was gonna say... He did start off with "NY, NY..." so I woulda thought it was a shot at the South (claiming to run thangs).... but maybe the nigga just dont like flip flops, LOL.
Did he call Jay-Z's name?
If he didn't say his name, it's not a diss.
Get off Jay-Z's dick.
The track is hot but.....
SOHHNewYork? Y'all reachin'.....
I THINK YOU CRY BABIES ARE FISHIN.I DONT THINK HE WAS TALKING TO JAY Z.YOU NIGGAZ KILL ME TRYING TO FIND SOMETHING TO START BEEF OVER.EXTRA SENSINTIVE ASS BITCHES.
I kinda like the track-Meth apparently does his best work with other niggas. Instead of looking for subliminals (which there are a few), why don't niggas look at the positive-some NY cats getting together and puttin in some work.
50 doesn't care about what Meth does. 50 doesn't even consider Joe an enemy, he goes at Joe for cosigning w/ Ja because that is some street beef, but there aren't nearly as much records using Joe or even Kiss compared to Ja.
sometimes we over analyze shit and make up beef when it wasn't the case.
Meth wouldn't bite the hand that's feeding him.
Smoke a blunt, drank some Henn or Grey Goose and stop startin shit. Leave it to SOHH and a bitch gonna get murdered. Either in the booth or in real life. Yall reading too much into this. But where has this dude been the last 2 or 3 yrs. Guess that tv show would make a dude hide.
Scott Free, I been wondering the same shit.
Everybody wants to attack the man in charge. Ask George Bush. Saddam will tell you too.
The is the nigga bringing NY back!!!!

PUBLICITY STUNT AS USUAL JUST LIKE NAS WAS, AINT NOTHING NEW TO THE RAP GAME, HAPPENS ALL THE TIME...
Scott Free, I would love to see 50 go at Meth, 50 would get murdered.
There is no way in hell 50 can hang with Meth lyrically. Meth is one of the craziest, creative and easily marketable rappers around.
He aint been around in a while but dont get it twisted, he'll eat 50's food. Meth just dont give a fuck about Rap or the state of Hip Hop. Look at him, he really dont. He's made his money and all he does is get high with Red and do all sorts of craziness.
Dont get me wrong Jada is probably more lyrical than Meth, but Meth is just as marketable as the next guy and no one on G-Unit, maybe Banks, can hang with this guy if he decides to chill in the studio.
But you're right, 50's next album is on its way so Beef season is approaching again, but going at Meth would be some real suicidal shit.
shit. these motherfuckers will always pull shit stunts nigga.

FROM: THE BOONDOCKS
I love my *itch?! lol.... come on. Is that what we should call our ladys now days?
Well... I'm love my BIAAAAATCH!
Much love.
ok not every artist in the rap game has to like Jay-Z. Da man not perfect. People like different people, and most artist under Def Jam dont like him unless they roc-a-fella, R&B singers. DMX left because of the take over, The Inc. tryin to get out of their situation.
JAY ought to sign DFB.That would be a big move for Def Jam.
Why do people like to instigate beef? Meth would call Jay's name if he were referring to him.
Yall think everytime a rapper say something about flip flops or flower shirts its about Jay ... Damn!
1st that wack ass Swizz bull shit,
Touch it.
and now this fucking garbage?
why the fuck you singed with aftermath
and your 1st 2 singles aren't Dre records, or matter fact, hard records,
Busta on some pussy shit
thumbs down all around
DFB HOTTEST IN DA GAME

I like meth and i respect his work, but im with Ghostface at the moment"FUCK NY" because you cats are always dick riding ! Whatever hot you jump on the bandwagon!!
Papoose, Manio, Tru life is Hot I like these underground cats, but the haters always have something negative to say! I guess if you weren't born in 75' then it's a wrap for hip hop
One yourself New York
YO SCOTTIE PIMPIN YOU IS A BITCH NIGGA.....POPPIN OFF AT NY AND YOU IN A FUCKIN GROUP CALLED "lOVE CITY"....AFTER SEEING THAT AND YOU GETTIN AT THE ROTTEN...GET THE FUCK OUTTA HERE..."LOVE CITY" FUCK OUTTA HERE NIGGA
I think that this "beef" stuff is gettin way outta control. How many more people gotta die so you can build you "street Cred"? It's all fake son Big, Pac, Big L, JMJ, Proof, & Phalant Johnson should still be here.
Dudes is so sensitive I don't understand it. When you are a rapper, you aint a thug no more and that's ok because thugs wanna be where these rappers are so they say stupid stuff like you aint real because you don't do what they do no more. What kind of low expectation stuff is that? if I'm rich, you broke niggaz proove something to me!
"The people who unify are the ones who will be be extra fly"
CRU
Obviously you generic rap lovers forget that meth's last album was overshadowed by jay's... which of the two projects do you think was def jams priority? And let us not forget that redmans album has been sitting for over a year. While rihanna has two albums in one year.
We da hardest luvers on that block!We got da florist shop on lock.GOT DEM FLOWERS FO CHEAP NIGGA!
The south is known for wearing either flip flops or bear feet. He could be taking a shot at the south.
Its amazing to see all the Jay Z haters come out. How yall know he going at Jay. First, that daily news picture Cam was talkin about, Jay was on a beach with slippers on. He wasnt walking around downtown Manhattan with jeans and slippers on. Two, If I'm Jay and I'm rich, who gives a fuck about what anybody thinks if I'm wearing slippers in the middle of a blizzard. Three, for all this you can assume Meth was talkin about Cube or southern rappers...Half the time we create the beefs in hip hop when we start speculatin on sh*t.
Just like crabs in a barrel....
I'LL SAY IT AGAIN ....1 FUCK THE SOUTH.......2 AIN'T NOBODY HATIN THE SOUTH..NOBODY IN NY WANTS TO OR EVER TRIED TO EMULATE THE SOUTH....IF ANYTHING YA'LL NIGGAZ TRY TO EMULATE NY ASSHOLE LOOK YOU'RE RAPPING DICKHEADS....3 IF YOU FEEL YOU MAKE GOOD MUSIC IN THE SOUTH COOL AND I UNDERSTAND 3000 SAID "THE SOUTH GOT SOMETHING TO SAY"....AGAIN THE SOUTH MAKE GOOD MUSIC JUST TERRIBLE RAP MUSIC..THERE'S A DIFFERENCE....."
