Although Busta Rhymes and Q-Tip's 'Thank You' has received some acclaim throughout the hip-hop community, one question that has been looming: Why do Kanye West and Lil Wayne only inject a few ad-libs? The two do appear in the video for the track, serving as really cool hypemen.
Busta Rhymes has released another single from his upcoming 'E.L.E. 2 (Extinction Level Event 2)' and it's a good one. 'Thank You' features fellow old-timer Q-Tip, fellow Cash Money member Lil Wayne and Kanye West, and it's a long way from sounding like '#TwerkIt.'
We've all heard the stories about artists making it big and then going broke, turning to reality TV shows and taking other desperate measure to replenish their lost money. However, there are a few music tycoons who found ways to turn a few hit songs into multi-million dollar machines by delving into fashion, cosmetics, technology and other industries.
We're nearing the end of a year in which a full-length studio album -- 'I Am Not a Human Being II' -- and a DJ Drama-hosted mixtape -- 'Dedication 5' -- from Lil Wayne haven't even been close to being the biggest releases of the year. But hey, what's public opinion to a goblin?
Pusha T sat down with DJ Envy at Hip Hop Nation the day after his 'My Name Is My Name' listening party to talk about the album, Kanye West's arrogance, and whether or not Pusha is a fan of Lil Wayne's new mixtape, 'Dedication 5.'
