Busta rhymes tour

It's hard to believe that Busta Rhymes is considered an elder statesman of hip-hop. He lets his fans know how he feels about these newcomers to the game on his latest release, "The Big Bang."

"They ain't got it in them to make a classic / These (expletive) can't hold a torch so why pass it / I ain't bringing their names up / These (expletive) sound trash, straight fouling the game up."

Bus is arguably hip-hop's king of the stage, and this summer, he'll be giving refresher courses at a venue near you on The Big Bang Tour

"We're planning the tour right now. I can't officially disclose [who I'm bringing on the road yet], but it's probably going to be one of the biggest tours this summer because, for the most part, it's only heavyweights on this lineup. I'm not saying that some of the new dudes ain't heavyweights, but you might be a new dude that got a smash right now, but what I mean by heavyweights is that you got a catalog of smashes," he added.

"Which means you can take people through a timeline of hit records and you can put on a show for a lengthy amount of time and really give people their money's worth. Two, three songs, you might be able to come on and open as opening act."


One of the songs that means the most to Busta is "New York Sh--," which is becoming a hometown anthem for the Big Apple.

"DJ Scratch produced the track," he said. "It felt like New York needed to have that sound, that identity of New York, to be brought back to New York. I don't think my album would have felt the same without that record on it."

Busta shot a video for "New York Sh--" with Big Daddy Kane, Slick Rick, Wu-Tang Clan and Rakim on June 4. Part of the video was filmed during Hot 97's Summer Jam
