January 12, 201412 yr 37 Busta Rhymes Feat. Q-Tip, Kanye West & Lil Wayne - Thank You [D] http://a1.mzstatic.com/us/r30/Music6/v4/55/15/9b/55159b0e-9f57-2c7c-567b-022913b16e27/13UAEIM26458.170x170-75.jpg Chart Run: 71-70-xx(3 wks)-37 [3 wks] Release date: 26-11-2013 Format: digital single Label: Cash Money Records Video here: QhIrzbhEGvs Biography The most idiosyncratic personality in rap and possessor of its most recognizable delivery, a halting, ragga-inspired style with incredible complexity, inventiveness, and humor, Busta Rhymes formed Leaders of the New School in 1990 and released two albums with the group before breaking out with a 1996 solo hit single, "Woo-Hah!! Got You All in Check." Born in East Flatbush, Brooklyn, in 1972 of Jamaican heritage (a definite influence on his rapping style), Busta moved to Long Island in 1983 and, at Uniondale High School, met up with MCs Charlie Brown, Dinco D., and Cut Monitor Milo. Inspired by fellow Long Islanders Public Enemy and Eric B. & Rakim, the foursome united as Leaders of the New School and signed a deal with Elektra Records right out of the gate, when Busta was only 17 years old. Much respected in the hip-hop underground for their Afrocentric philosophy and tough rapping styles, Leaders of the New School debuted in 1991 with Future Without a Past... but released only one more album, 1993's T.I.M.E., before breaking up the following year. Out on his own for the first time, Busta called on some friends, appearing on A Tribe Called Quest's "Scenario," the incredible remix of Craig Mack's "Flava in Ya Ear" (also featuring Notorious B.I.G. and LL Cool J), as well as other projects with Boyz II Men, Mary J. Blige, and TLC. He also appeared in the 1995 John Singleton film Higher Learning and earned a solo contract with Elektra. Busta's first album, The Coming, proved a huge hit; the single "Woo-Hah!! Got You All in Check" hit the Top Ten and pushed the album into gold-record territory. His second album, When Disaster Strikes, debuted at number three in September 1997. Extinction Level Event followed a year later, and in mid-2000, Busta released Anarchy while appearing on the silver screen in a remake of the blaxploitation classic Shaft. 2002's It Ain't Safe No More and 2006's Aftermath-released The Big Bang followed. While shooting a video for a remix of the latter album's "Touch It," Busta's bodyguard was shot to death. Creative differences with Interscope kept his career on hold until 2009 when Back on My B.S. became his first album for Universal/Motown. - iTunes Chart history (Year peak title): Busta Rhymes 1996 08 Woo-hah!!

January 12, 201412 yr LOVE 'Thank You' but I imagine it's going to get hated on here somehow :lol: Gwon Busta and Q-Tip getting that continued relevance.
January 12, 201412 yr Busta Rhymes and Q-Tip bringing some old-skool hip-hop to the chart! :heart: I really like this, it's sounding so fresh especially after 3 old songs.
January 12, 201412 yr I ruddy hope I win this competition. The 1975 in Belfast would be groovy indeed. I shall be seeing them in Bournemouth next month :D
January 12, 201412 yr This song is a mess. It's on the better side of hippity-hop, but that's not saying much.
January 12, 201412 yr First time hearing this, pretty catchy upon first listen! I love Q-Tip's voice!
January 12, 201412 yr The female vocals are the best bit of this, otherwise it's just a mess with the various bits of the song not sounding related at all.
January 12, 201412 yr First time hearing this. I love it already! :D I always did have a soft spot for Busta's music for some reason.
January 12, 201412 yr TBH this is quite a good track, I like the 80s motown and a bit of 90s rap influence :)
January 12, 201412 yr I shall be seeing them in Bournemouth next month :D I shall be seeing them in Cardiff :D
January 12, 201412 yr 2013 48 Black Skinhead -1- 2012 74 High School (Nicki Minaj Feat. Lil Wayne) Incorrect! ;) #34 and #31 respectively!
January 12, 201412 yr Very interesting chart history, Q-Tip has. Good to see going Top40. Busta's first Top40 hit as a lead artist since 2008. 2012 74 High School (Nicki Minaj Feat. Lil Wayne) I believe this peaked at #31
January 12, 201412 yr Idina Menzel making her top 40 debut at the age of 42. Respect to that wonderful woman. *EDIT* didn't realise she was credited on the Glee tracks.
