Busta Rhymes Scheduled To Headline 8th Annual Brooklyn Hip-Hop Festival

D.L. Chandler — Tue, 08 May 2012 17:11:29 +0000

With over two decades in a business that chews up and spits out lesser acts, the dungeon dragon Busta Rhymes' formidable career and his continuing ability to smash stages and features is an astounding testament to his tenacity. Recognizing Bussa Bus and his rare talent is Brooklyn Bodega, the producers behind the annual Brooklyn Hip-Hop Festival (BHF). For his efforts, Busta Rhymes has been scheduled as the headlining act for the six-day festival this coming July.

BHF fans who were in attendance last year saw Bus catch wreck on the BHF stage after fellow veteran MC Q-Tip brought out the snarling rapper as part of his “Q-Tip and Friends” set; a concept introduced by BHF in where headliners are selectively handpicked to represent the festival's main aim. The former Leader Of The New School standout made his name in the 90s and has steadily wowed listeners, including a scene-stealing cameo on Chris Brown's smash hit “Look At Me Now.”

BHF president Wes Jackson gushed over Busta Rhymes in a statement announcing the rapper's headlining role.

"One of the most interesting things that kept coming up when we talked about Busta in the office is all the different 'Bustas' there were. Busta to me is the skinny kid from 'Sound Of The Zeekers'. To other cats in the office he is the muse of Hype Williams and the definitive artist of the video era. To younger fans he is the guy who killed it on the Chris Brown song. To purists he was Dilla's biggest supporter after Q-Tip. Just as Q-Tip was in 2011, Busta is the embodiment of what Brooklyn Bodega and The Brooklyn Hip-Hop Festival is all about,” said Jackson glowingly.

The 2012 Brooklyn Hip-Hop festival kicks off July 9 through the 14. For more information, click here.

The 10 Most Expensive Music Videos In Hip-Hop History

Kazeem Famuyide (@RealLifeKaz) — Wed, 04 Apr 2012 15:35:16 +0000

Do you remember the time where people really cared about music videos? Before everyone in the world had a Canon 7D camera and people were a YouTube clip away from being a star, you really had to be famous to get your mug on a camera. And if you were famous, record labels would pay big bucks to make sure that famous mug gets seen in the best light possible. Budgets for music videos used to be sky high.

Back when having the #1 video on TRL or 106 & Park meant something, and back when you had to wait for these shows to see your favorite videos instead of just googling them now, music videos were events. Sure it is a lot more convenient, but lets go back to a simpler time and break down some of the most bank-breaking music videos in hip-hop history.
