Busta signs with Universal Motown

First, of all HUGE FAN, if you didn’t already know.
…So a couple months ago (July), a rumor floated around that Busta Rhymes was getting dropped from Interscope because of some beef with Jimmy Iovine.

Well with time comes truth and it appears that this is sort of true. Busta is no longer with Interscope, but is signed to Universal Motown. And they are all branches off the same HUGE tree that is the Universal Music Group. Isn’t this confusing?! Busta’s move appears to be purely political in nature. His next album, Blessed, will still be released under Universal.

Dj Semtex’s Thoughts on this…

The bottom line is, to be successful in this HipHop game you have to move around, you have to work with different labels. Aside from Outkast and Lil Wayne, very few artists survive more than 10 years at the same label.
The fact that Busta has found a new home is good, but is testament to the fact that he still has the ability to cook up that fire, that makes your speakers pound!

Ok, I agree on some levels. it is rare to stay on the same label for more than a few years. And Busta is the shit. The rap game is like Major League [insert sport here]. But he’s really on the same label…
And secondly,while the chart is cool a bunch of the colors look the same. I know I’m being picky but that’s just the way I am. Someone has to do it!
