Much respect and love to the hosts for not interrupting the guest or cutting them off mid way like the other 99% interview shows out there! Yall did a great job on letting your guests dig deep into all the stories that we so desperately want to hear , straight from thr source! It gives so much context and insight on this hiphop culture we lived through and makes iit so much more meaningful and relateable from an artist to their fams. THANK YOU for making the show all about the guest! !!
it's crazy to me how many podcasters still don't realize we aren't interested in hearing them cutting the guests off... like that should be common sense but it aint...
This interview would've been 4 hours if they were cutting him off. Much respect to Busta for the thorough stories and SUPER big ups to Matt and Stack for not interrupting making this one of their best interviews ever!!!
this is how hip-hop grows by embracing the OGs and letting them tell the history through their eyes. thanks ATS for this.And Big over a Dilla Dog beat - game over.
Busta Rhymes is a legend in hip hop and story telling I’m gonna tap into all the rappers he mentioned this episode is the best one of 2024 in my opinion
Damnnn Imagine if that Elevator was still working when BIG pulled up sheesh i got goosebumps hearing “NAS, Method Man, Busta Rhymes and BIGGIE on a J DILLA BEAT”. Busta Said Nas and Meth waited to see what Big would say fist… Nuff said 🐐
PHENOMENAL interview!!! Loved this dude since Scenario but this interview has made me find a a new fondness and respect for him. I can listen to him tell his stories all day! Top 5 interviews! Great job!
*Put Your Hands, Gimme Some More and Dangerous are the best music videos I've ever seen in my life 👍 nobody else ever came CLOSE to that level of artistic creativity. rather you place him Top 5 Rappers Ever or not, he is UNDEBATABLY NUMBER ONE UNO SINGULAR for music videos.*
Bust be spittin that Taurus talk.. My born day two days before his.. Everything he said resonated.. Lost cousins and aunts before but when my pops left us in 2021 it hit different and i didn't have enough time with him being that he was only 65 at the time .. Shout out to everybody on the panel
My folks from the motherland gave me the love for Roots Reggae (Lucky Dube, Peter Tosh, Morgan Heritage, Bob Marley, etc), and the culture. One Love 💪🏿
Shoutout to Busta for the incredible stories and historical insights that he had before fame and that he later created. Also, shoutout to All the Smoke for not interrupting Busta while he told his story. 💯
The Biggie in the studio story, or not because of the stairs, plus the Tupac/Tribe insight is fascinating This is one of the best Smoke’s you’ve done fam; and thanks to Bus for taking us behind the curtain; man has a crazy memory and is a fascinating storyteller. Thanks fam!
My legend. This guyyy hit me hooked on this art form - rap music. He is still hungry and his stage presence is unmatched. People also sleep on his relationship with Spliff for three decades.
These 2 hours went by so fast just listening to busta speak and tell these stories with his voice and just his raw enthusiasm to share it all!!! This was so 🔥🔥🔥 I just want more stories from him!!!
Reggae being from Jamaica, which is neighbors next to all my Latin/indigenous countries, we all get along with each other as long as we respect. Not heavy racism, we can mess around with one another females, just have respect or we’ll kill you, simple. This American way of allowing disrespect for the past 300 years ain’t it. Laws that allow us to disrespect our people, but not defend, we’re gonna feel a type of way, however instinctively we all get along and music is a great communicator. Got to address the bigger issues now, thanks for the promo, all people but Latins especially coming up regardless💯💯
Mannn… this is masterful how Barnes & Stack literally sat there and listened… Ask a probing question and let Busta rock out! 99.9% of podcasters need to study this interview…
Outstanding Piece Brothers; Man This is what i needed today.....Busta has and ALWAYS will be a Legendary MC.. This interview was done with CLASS and so very insightful....
Man, hearing Busta talk about his creative and recording process reminds me of listening to Rakim’s book, recorded in his own voice. It’s the same thing. This is absolutely DOPE.
Wild Hot is the track he's talking about off the Rhyme and Reason soundtrack. Busta's verse on there... CRAZY!! That track is STILL 🔥🔥🔥 after all these years!
Busta was my favorite since the film “higher learning” . He had my neck strained when he came out with the song where they was twirling they neck. 😂 much positive endeavors for this king/god
Wow what a incredible show. Never seen it before but I caught I pic of Busta and had to click on it and definitely stayed for the life story. Stayed tuned from start to finish was sad when it ended. But at the end the Busta I knew wasn't the same dude, Instead of a just a artist I Iove Busta on a whole new scale as a person. I don't really comment much but Thank you ( ALL THE SMOKE ) for this and Busta for actually putting his time to all us strangers. You never know who can benefit from this. Today my spirit was a bit low I'm battling my own health. I was a healthy 180lb got a stomach ache and was 350lb in 4 months and climming. I don't know what the hell is wrong with me still but I been holding on to everything I love with a tight grip ever since and I'm happy you sending the message out too. Much love a fan
Busta Rhymes was "born" on my 3rd birthday! Every time I hear Busta i cant help put pencil to paper. Very rare i wanna draw these days but Busta and Ludacris both ignite inspiration for me.
Much to Mr.Busta lifetime achievements once again. One of the most iconic infamous artists to ever grace the mic,thebig screen and postive hype. Love you you bro. Stay healthy.
This is the first episode I listened to by you guys and yall DELIVERED 💪🏽 gotta love the realness and respect that Busta brings. Could listen to that dude tell stories for hours. Amazing episode
Damn, Busta never ceases to amaze and impress. Musical prowess aside, he is one special human being. A true role model for all men everywhere. So much love and respect to you, sir. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 All his interviews are required viewing. If only more folk were like him, the world would be a much better place.
Thank you Bust for all the jewels and gems you continue to give us; for all the bangers, for all the beefs you squashed, and for all the love, peace and happiness you continue to erupt out into the world.
Nuff respect to my fellow Taurean ( Janet Jackson too) and Jamerican Busta Rhymes. Great guest and probably the best interview in ATS history ( my personal opinion). Not only the great stories but you felt like Busta was talking to you ( US) because Matt and Stack never interrupted and let the stories flow like they should. 💯 Kudos all around.

Busta never gives a bad interview. But this one, this one night be his best one yet. Love hearing all the stories!!
Ooo wee Busta is long winded. This has to be one of All The Smoke best interviews. 🔥
Never been a huge fan of busta rhymes music, always been into Jay Z, Nas, Tupac, but this interview made me a fan of him as a person.
Definitely a fire rapper bro definitely give him a listen fr
I totally get that👍🏼
That's why I love watching a breakfast Club. It made me a fan of a lot of dude I didn't mess with
Bus in my top five. What a treat!

Missy Elliot has to be in that top 3-5 as well, Fif somewhere there, and Nelly & Luda gotta be honorable mention's
Come to think of it. Busta is probably the BEST overall artist 🤷🏾♂️. Presence, longevity, bars, hooks, hits, videos, LIVE PERFORMANCE, features
I hear what you saying I truly do. But you wildin with this take my guy
@@MrHood133 ok 🙄who’s your best overall artist, chance the rapper?
@@kiingphresh9328 *'Don't listen to him, KING'.* Busta Rhymes is that ONE. 💯
@@MrHood133busta is definitely a 🐐 in his own right. His influence on hip hop makes the whole genre what it is

Shout out to everybody on the panel
My folks from the motherland gave me the love for Roots Reggae (Lucky Dube, Peter Tosh, Morgan Heritage, Bob Marley, etc), and the culture. One Love 💪🏿
Papa San VS Lieutenant Stitchie gotta be one of the illest origin stories for a Hip Hop style ever fr .
Definitely. HipHop got influences from all other genres. People fail to realize that. HipHop is versatile
Facts💯
EVER! I grew up on Papa San and I never knew his influence on Busta Rhymes
Shoutout to Busta for the incredible stories and historical insights that he had before fame and that he later created. Also, shoutout to All the Smoke for not interrupting Busta while he told his story. 💯
1st full episode I have watched and it was all worth it just by listening to Busta stories.
The Biggie in the studio story, or not because of the stairs, plus the Tupac/Tribe insight is fascinating
This is one of the best Smoke’s you’ve done fam; and thanks to Bus for taking us behind the curtain; man has a crazy memory and is a fascinating storyteller.
Thanks fam!
Only word I got is straight dope!!! Awesome episode!!! Thank you!!!
My legend.
This guyyy hit me hooked on this art form - rap music.
He is still hungry and his stage presence is unmatched.
People also sleep on his relationship with Spliff for three decades.
I’m glad Busta was aloud to gather his thoughts, and speak. If this was Drink Champs, he’d have been interrupted numerous times.
Yeah exactly
He did drink champs already he had to tell Nore to chill out few times when he was telling a story
THE LEGEND!!!
wow, this is 1 of my all time favorite hip hop interviews ever
100% my thoughts exactly
Fax
10/10 Couldn't get enough!

Legendary. I just listened to his first 4 albums on my route the other day. Great interview.
