Busta is that underground hip hop that stays raw and uncut. He's seen crossover success with out really being cross over.

Best Production For Any Busta Album Dec 04, 2005
This album seems to get many mixed reviews from fans, however it is my favourite out of the three Busta Rhymes albums I own. The criticism from fans seems fairly valid, as Rhymes lyrics seem a little overly typicaly, and although the lyrical content isn't all too impressive on some tracks, his flow and delivery of the lines makes up for it. Also, the beats and production is the key to making this album great. Neptunes and Dr. Dre contribute sensational rap beats for Rhymes, and he uses them to their full effect.
Although the lyrical aspect is weak at certain times, this album is filled with outstanding hooks. The Intro needs no explanation, I've never been a fan of them, so let's skip ahead to "Everybody Rise Again". This is a great opener, with what sounds like a trio singing the chorus. Busta Rhymes flows well with the beat, and this track is a highlight. "As I Come Back" was one of the singles from "Genesis", and every aspect of it is great, with an awesome Neptunes beat, a signature sound from Busta after every line yelling "rrahhh!". Certainly an album highlight, and it's followed strongly "Shut 'Em Down 2002". The self-titled track has strong lyrical content, however the hooks aren't too great. "Betta Stay Up In Your House" has Rah Digga guest starring in a hip-hop/rap bouncin' track.
"Truck Volume" has a classic Dre beat, and Busta Rhymes is flowing nicely, with solid lyrics. P. Diddy raps in "Pass The Courvoisier", and its solid, but not one of my favourites. Busta Rhymes and P. Diddy do make solid transitions, going back in forth with lyrics. "Break Ya Neck" is classic Busta, showing off his rhyming speed and also containing a great beat. "Bounce(Let Me See Ya Throw It)" is probably my second favourite song, with an awesome Dr. Dre beat, and a very catchy chorus. However "Holla", is in my opinion Busta's best song. The beat is amazing, and Rhymes is flowing with great lyrics throughout the track. "Wife In Law" has Jaheim singing hooks as the guest, and also has some of Busta Rhymes' most profane lyrics on the album. "Ass On Your Shoulders" is one of my least favourites. "Make It Hurt" makes up for that blunder, and then "What It Is" is a classic Neptune beat, and has an awesome chorus. "You Ain't F-ckin Wit Me" has an amazing beat, and Busta has pretty solid lyrics to go with it. The Flipmode squad stars on the next track "Match The Name With The Voice", and it's a great collaboration. "Bad Dreams" closes "Genesis" strongly, with Busta flowing well off the beat.
Overall, this is in my opinion one of Busta's best, with sensational production and great deliveries from Rhymes, which are consistent throughout the album. Highly recommended to any Busta Rhymes fan.

Genesis I believe this is the revelation for Busta Rhymes no disrespect but the other 4 albums were better and I aint even going to talk about the one that came out after this one.
