When Sugar Hill Gang‘s Rapper’s Delight became the first nationwide hip-hop hit back in 1979, many viewed the sensation as a novelty that would die a quick death. Much to their surprise (and our delight), hip-hop has thrived ever since and is arguably one of the world’s most popular genres. Highlighting just how far We Made It, legendary MC Busta Rhymes has teamed up with veteran rock group Linkin Park for what is likely the biggest collaboration thus far of ‘08. Like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle, Busta’s two verses fit perfectly with singer Chester Bennington’s chorus, Mike Shinoda’s middle verse, and Brad Delson’s guitar (all over a beat by the super-trio of Shinoda and Cool & Dre). We Made It is the first official single from Busta Rhymes’ eighth album, Blessed, set for retail and online release July 15.
Straight up Classic. Busta fits and Linkin Park complement each other better then Linkin Park and Jay-Z did.
Been waiting for this song for the longest time and even then it does not dissapoint!
M. Burmy was holding the good stuff from us yesterday. That was a teaser busta track yesterday. I have to agree with everyone. This is a great fusion of rock and hip-hop. Keep it coming Busta. I am still sticking to my statement about yesterday's track: it was typical Busta!!! A CERTIFIED JESAVAIL02 BANGER!!! A solid 4.5 right here.
idk bout no 5 star rank cos the chorus is straight gay...but this song is good, I really liked Busta's parts a lot, woulda preferred this one without linkin park on it to be perfectly honest.
i was interested how this would go az linkin park have done afew collabs into the hiphop genre busta flows it good on here with chester on the hook not bad effort combining..we made it you sure did busta..
so my least favorite [new] track from busta gets rated high, but ones i liked [lights, camera, action, where's my f'n money, and more] get mediocre ratings..
o well. i like this song, but, its ok.
SIKKK ! damn, dope ass track. thanx for letting us put down busta yesterday wit dat wack ass song. lol. but this one is awsome. im digging the rock and hip hop mix.
I saw the video for this yesterday. The song is alright I guess. I don't see what the big deal is about it. Good collabo for a Rap/Rock n Roll mix, but nothing that I'd listen to on a daily basis.
Yo to be honest i was hype as hell when i saw Linkin park on da roster. And YES!!! busta delivered again, wit LP. I luv it. Dis is hard shit. Wat? Busta Fall Off? Neva!!! Wooo HAAAA!! Got Yall All In Check Snitches!!
DAMN! ANOTHER CLASSIC FOR THE DAY??? Busta is CRAZY on this track right here! Haters don't know what they are talkin about! The beat is really HOT here too! Great Music right here!!! THIS IS A CERTIFIED DJ BLAZE BANGER!!!
See what happened... you all doubted Busta, and then he came and hit you over the head with this one. After a mini-hiatus, the rap/rock fusion is back; this is a solid (new) starting point. If this does well at radio, expect that release date to stick.
This song is amazing! I’m a huge LP fan, I’m proud I don’t listen only to hiphop music and londons finest, if the chorus is gay, then gay people been listenin to better songs than us. This is not a party track and it’s not meant to be, it has an epic feel and some straight musical content! Busta is one of the best rappers ever, his flow was fresh on this, Shinoda is better than the average rapper in hiphop (listen Fort Minor’s album and you’ll know wassup) and my man Brad was amazing on the guitar as usual. What’s the big deal (mmore, donjonjon)? Come on! Open your mind and don’t be biased. This is music!
Bus-A-Bus is the man! Another o'skoo VETERAN. Go Old Headz! This beat is BOUT-IT Baby! and uh... Bus is sexy as HELL which makes the song even more delectable. Yummy
another certified banger right here
but this collabo is not as good as "Numb", but anyways i'll bump this song till the end of the year I guess...
"Blessed" gonna be classic I hope...
Shinoda is a beast
Not gonna lie- I gave up on Busta like Z said! Ha! But I think this is a start to a solid comeback. I'm really feelin this song and his other single out right now, and the video's for both are really good. This song gets me pumped up, I'll def be bumping this in my car or when I'm at the gym getting my swell on! haha. Banger for the rap/rock collabo
me and my boys had a long talk about underrated busta rhymes is after hearing a joint...he just makes classic songs...that's all! the flow is solid, linkin park fits it, and this is hit record across the board
Damn!!! Busta Bus the imperial!! That dude killed this shit. The first verse was destined for greatness. He's BAAACCCCKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!
When does this shit come out???????
FredRico, my iTunes library is filled w/hiphop, rnb, classical, alternative, punk, heavy metal, techno, salsa, bachata, reggaeton, merengue, jazz, latin jazz, ethnic chinese, ethnic african, tango, house, puerto rican heavy metal, ethnic latin, and even audiobooks. if MY mind is closed, then whose is open?? ur right, this song has that epic feel, but once the hook comes around it just gets corny, which surprised me because LP can do it. to me, if ur goin 4 the epic feel, it's gotta be complete
Damn Busta busts on this one. By the way if I was a Hip-Hop artist, I think i would be trying to collabo with LP over anyone. Everyone knows them, and they make hits everytime. This sh*t is bangin, but just missed classic. This is fly hip hop right here.
i knew this colabo would make this joint hot... but its still not as good as the rock & hip hop colabo in "encore" I give it a 3.5ish because it would of been better with another artist besides Busta...
A powerfully enraging effort by Busta & Linkin Park. You really gotta feel it in Brad's guitars, Chester's vocals, Mike's verse and Busta's reassurance in hip hop. I think this is the song that's gonna "resurrect" the hip hop genre, period. Trivia: Busta has collaborated with rock artists before: Ozzy Osbourne on "This Means War!" and Lenny Kravitz on "Make Noise." Not only is this his third rock/rap effort in his discography, it is his first rock/rap song to be made a single.
I know I said Busta was slowing down, but I didn't know shiz. The minute I heard this yesterday, I knew I was wrong. Shouldn't have doubted a Hip Hop Veteran.
The song would've been better had the hook been stronger...no lie..it's kinda lame...but busta delivers and LP is one of the greatest bands ever bc their style is so diverse...those cats def. got some skill...overall song is good.
When i read that Busta collaborated with Linkin Park I knew this was gunna be a hit...and wut can I say I couldn't have been more right..this is legendary shit...Busta put down his flow and the production is absolutely sick on here!
The chorus is corny, but I'm not mad at it. I think its refreshing to finally have verses better than the chorus. Music is at such a terrible state, people get hooked on the chorus. Next thing you know you have people blasting garbage because the chorus is catchy. Time for a change.
Classic...wuts left to say? I gotta say, there are TONS of songs that Linkin park made with rappers which were too good..lol...numb/encore is the best...
nice......cross over works well....hook sounds kinda poppy though dont know how serious i can take it sounds kinda like a graduation song class of 09...its aight
You didn’t mention Kizomba (cape verdean music, from my country Cape Verde), so, you didn’t impress me DONJONJON… .. lol, ok man, I’m jk. But damn, what a library! You’re a bit too exigent (if it’s not complete, it’s just ok?), but I get your point. Anyway, I always thought your comments were reliable, so I wasn’t mad at you, just kinda let down (that is, if you rated it a 2.5 only because of the rock feel, but now I know you didn’t).
Sorry FredRico, but I was with DJJ on this song. It wasn't the rap/rock mix that I was hatin' on, it was more about Chester the child molester singing the hook. That just ruined the song for me. Busta and Mike's verses were on point, and the song did have an "epic" feel to it, but somethin' about it just didn't click for me.
It’s ok MMOORE, I feel you and DJJ. Like I said before, I wasn’t mad, I just happen to rely on your comments (and a few other members’s) to tell if a song is good before I listen to it (sometimes I use a PC without sound device), so I’d like if you were unbiased. I realize now it was just a matter of taste, so it’s all good.
