Whenever Busta Rhymes releases a hit single, you can count on an equally successful remix (see Pass the Courvoisier, Touch It, Arab Money...).  For the inevitable revamp of Back On My B.S. second single Hustler’s Anthem 09, the rapper enlists the help of a few unexpected collaborators.  Once Busta’s spit his quick opener, Ty Fyffe slows down the beat for Ryan Leslie‘s smooth guest verse.  After T-Pain‘s hook, OJ Da Juiceman and his mentor, Gucci Mane, showcase their adaptability by quickening up their typically slow ATL-style flows to match the unmistakably Northeastern percussion.  While the “anthem” factor still isn’t quite there, there’s no reason this remix shouldn’t earn as many spins as the successful original.  Back On My B.S., Busta’s eighth studio album, is set to hit record stores and online retailers everywhere May 19th.

Same as the original for me, just OK. Not anything that sounds like an anthem, you gotta be careful when you call a track somethin like that (it'll come wit certain expectations.) The song's aight and I like Busta's vibe, but he coulda picked some better guests to appear on the remix. I mean, Da Juiceman and Gucci Mane's verses just bored me, nothin special. Leslie is a cool feature, but kinda wierd on a track like this. Yea, this didn't really do it for me.

This is not an anthem at all. The original was not and this isn't either. The production is too simple and the hook is sub-par especially for an "anthem." The verses were decent but I think this song was one of the bigger disappointments of this year so far. Barely in rotation.

Busta sounds good on this subpar repetitive beat but the others just dont seem to fit. Ryan Leslie on here is weird but in a way his vocals saves this song. T-Pain is iight and Gucci Mane & OJ Da Juiceman are not that great. This isnt an anthem to me just a poorly executed song. Decent but nothing special

Not an anthem at all. Whose Busta trying to be with all these remixes? The new DJ Khaled? Anyways, Back on My BS seems to be heading towards a flop as of now. There's been like 5 official singles and not one has picked up any mainstream success; I don't know whats going on. "We Made It" is still my favorite off the album.

If Busta only cut the features in half, this remix would have been passable. OJ Da Juiceman and Gucci Mane? Lol. There were like four remixes for "Arab Money," so be prepared Boothers.

& i was hopin dat the Remix gonna get the booth members to finally jump on this anthem, but considerin the artists Busta decides to roll with ... i dont expect Z to give this dat Banger Status ... haha ...

not that its bad, all three guests did better than wat i was expectin... Ryan comes strong wit lyrics but he doesn't fit the rhythm at all in my opinion... & OJ's verse would have sounded a bit better if I actually liked "Make Da trap Say Ayye" ... but surprisingly Gucci goes pretty hard over this by ditchin his usual lazy-a$$ flow ... from watever lil stuff ive heard from Gucci this verse stands out by far ...

I dont see myself bumpin this anyday over OG which is a Banger!!!

This is a cool funky beat for Busta to rip on. Ryan sounds good on here and the beat switch is nice! T-Pain does good on here too. He sounds great here actually. I think Gucci Mane and OJ was weak on here, and the track could have done better with more Busta, Ryan and T-Pain! Still a rotation track though.

Original is better, though I thought OJ & Gucci were better then I was expecting (especially Gucci, who's usually completely whack). Leslie was decent enough & the beat is average. Im expecting a couple of remixes.
2.5

Major Kudos to Busta for gettin R. Les on this track!! Ever since I heard Ryan musically freestyle over Lollipop, i thought 'this cat is crazy, rappers need to holla @ him for their remix!' But no one has,, until now and he KILLS it! the different melodies he puts on this track really saves it from being mediocre and boring. However, this is the highlight, OJ and Gucci Mane are pretty horrible, why would Busta enlist these weak rappers on his joint...

Will definitely get rotation, but imo, original is better. Ryan Leslie is a nice addition however!

This wasn't an 'anthem' the first time around, so this remixed version isn't an 'anthem' either. I didn't like the decision to roll this out as a single, so I would never have been in favor of doing this remix. However, any chance I get to hear Ryan Leslie show off his skills is fine with me.

As for OJ and Gucci... no comment.

This is the first time I've heard any incarnation of this song its alright
it sounds like busta has lost the creativity that made him so awesome
that second guy was sick
OJ the Juiceman can do that "aye" @*#$! on any track and it will sound hot
gucci's verse was actually pretty sick, hes always hit or miss anyway
and I feel embarrassed listening to tpains hook

This would be a lot better if he had a better choice of collaborators. Like other people mentioned, why have OJ & Gucci on this? They might be the two most hated rappers on here. Leslie and T-Pain save this track to some degree.

Ryan was a @ood addition to this track. Anthem?? Na I don't know about that. But this does sound pretty @ood. Teddy didn't sound like he was feelin this one when he did the vocal. Alil uninspired to me. Interestin line up for busta...

I knew he was going to have a remix with more artists. Again...an anthem for the hustlers had to have some takers. But I guess I was thinking more along the lines of Jay-Z, Weezy, T.I...I left that as a comment on the original. Using the same beat?...Ok. I guess. I like Ryan on this, fo sho. His voice is so smooth.
OJ's verse is typical. It is signature Juiceman work. Nothing spectacular.
I like Gucci's verse. It was cool.

Overall Just I give a 3/5

-.-' Busta looses credibility with these features... OJ's "flow" was so horrible and repetitive that I'd even enjoy Gucci if he said anything worth it.
One star for Ryan L.!
