United Snakes Of America - New Young Buck Ish

Fresh from the studio, Buck went off on this one. Tight beat, too. He’s been dropping consistent fire since he left the Unit; could this be Buck’s time to rise to the top of the game?

The track features Larry Davis, but we’re not sure who produced this.

Busta Rhymes Owns Woman - Don’t piss him off, kids.

Busta Rhymes Owns Woman - Don’t piss him off, kids.

This video has been going around the interwebs for around a month now, but despite that a lot of people still haven’t seen this classic footage. Basically, it shows a bunch of tourists filming when suddenly, along comes Busta Rhymes. They ask Busta for a photograph, but as he is on his way to the bathroom, he ignores them for a moment. This results in some woman calling him ignorant, which in turn makes Busta beat her down (not literally). The stupid British woman did deserve what she got though, I have to admit. I’m British and really, I hate that dumb chick. Video after the jump.
