Busta Rhymes - The Game Room ft. Lil' Fame of M.O.P.
Artist: Busta Rhymes
Featuring: Lil' Fame
Producer: DJ Scratch
Album: Back On My B.S. Mixtape
Label: Conglomerate/YMCMB
Plenty of artists refer to the music business as a “game,” but Busta Rhymes actually means it—on The Game Room, a newly-released cut of his Back on My B.S. pre-album mixtape, Rhymes reveals that he approaches “this rap sh*t” just as he would a round of Galaxian. Aside from a few allusive punchlines, the concept is mainly an excuse for DJ Scratch to accent his laid-back beat with old-school, arcadey sound effects, but I’m certainly not complaining; those bleeps and bloops bring me back to my childhood (I’m only 20, but as a kid without the scratch for a shiny SNES it was pretty much old-school or nothing). After Busta’s braggadocio-heavy opener, M.O.P.‘s Lil’ Fame jumps on board for an amped-up, entertainingly blustery second verse (“Respect my Conglomerate—I don’t even know what that word means!” is easily the funniest line I’ve heard all day). Watch for the Back on my B.S. mixtape, produced entirely by Scratch, to drop later this week, paving the way for the studio album’s May 19th release.

Although this track is really interesting and I love the old school feel, those sounds dont really sound very good on the beat of a rap track. I mean, Lil' Flip had those game's sounds formatted perfectly to fit "Game Over." This gets a lil annoying after a while but its aight. Busta is OK, but he's not his best. Lil' Fame is just average and its wierd not hearin him trade lines wit Billy Danze. Aight track, just nothing i'd put in rotation.

Props to DJ Scratch for doin something original on the production, but I'm not going to lie, those video game sound effects annoyed the sh*t out of me. Both verses were decent, but nothing spectacular. Overall, it is OK.

If I wasn't following BussaBus on Twitter, I would have no idea that his album drops in a couple weeks. I haven't heard a damn thing about it, and Hustler's Anthem hasn't caught on as much as I thought it would be.
With this track, it's nothing more than your average mixtape filler. No way meant to do anything but promote the actual album, but I still was struggling to make it to the end. |

LOL damn in that picture, Busta Rhuymes looks like a wanna be thug LOL. We got a chiropractor in tha hizzouse? Cuz he looks like he needs one.
Ok, now, in my opinion, ever since the Remix of Arab Money, Busta been goin down. And I don't mean subtly, either; no, he's goin down in FLAMES. He went from featuring Teddy, Akon, and Weezy, to this crap? Now, I'm not hatin' on Lil' Fame, but c'mon. Seriously. We need to hear better than this. Not good. Just ok. |

Busta is really consistent but he's fading recently and this just isnt cutting it. His lyrics are decent and the production is straight annoying and confusing. This beat is worse than A Milli and Lil' Fame doesnt help either. Hate to give a 1 star to a elite MC like Busta but nothing can save this song

Really creative idea by DJ Scratch...but sometimes ideas are better on paper than on execution (Maybe if that sample had been used for a club banger)...
Busta and Fame give pretty good verses, but both sound better when they're at the highest-possible energy factor (see "Ante Up (Remix)," best known for the introduction of Remy Ma). Still, because I LOVE classic video games, and hearing these sounds brings back so many memories, I'll put it in rotation. (Still my lowest rating in a while...) |

lol @ Mr. Top Hat
If it wernt for cb, I wouldn't have had a clue that Back on my B.S was coming out soon. Add Busta to the group of Industry Heavyweights thats 'falling off'. I hope he can recover, as I still think he's needed in hip hop. |

Richard, you are not alone. I laughed out loud for a solid 30 seconds when Fame mentioned that he doesn't know what the word "conglomerate" means. Funny stuff.
This record is a throwaway for the mixtape, nothing intended (ever) to be placed on an album. Like many of our members, I wanted to really get into this... but in the end I just couldn't. Sidenote: After months of promises, Busta will be leaving to tour Europe for the entire month before his new album, and most likely will NOT be joining me inside the Booth for an interview.

This is original but when you have an original track it has include something to keep ur listening as well. This just gets so annoying I had to stop the song after laughin at Lil' Fame. He seems as if he's some wack a$$ dude who needs to be checked. Funny line though.

Nope not feelin it at all. I give him the producer credit for bein original, but it doesnt really sound good. Like Juanito said, it sounded good on lil flips song. Charles Hamilton is another producer who puts video game sounds in his tracks and it sound good. Anyway, im not feelin busta's flow. Lil Fame came hard tho. Not the greatest from Busta

@DJ Z - Damn. It'd be nice to know how he can go from one extreme (great songs like Arab Money remix) to another (horrible songs like this). I don't know of many artists than can accomplish this feat, but he certainly has.

WOW... maybe a little less sound effects. Not what I would have expected from one of the games greatest showstoppers, but a solid performance.
