If you really like the Bus a Bus...
Pros:
I enjoyed the beats, and the fast rhymes on particular songs
Cons:
Low ratio of good, quality songs
The Bottom Line:
Buy it if you really like Busta Rhymes. But I wouldn't buy a CD for $15, and only 7 out 19 songs were good.

Author's Review
I'm a pretty big Busta Rhymes fan, because he can always surprise you with his rhyming styles. On one song he could rhyme fast, and leave the listener in the dust, while on other songs, he'll slow it down, giving the listener a chance to laugh at his lyrics which are usually pretty funny.
Unfortunately in this album, Busta doesn't show all of his talent. I found that I really couldn't listen to it straight through. I had to skip around because unfortunately, there are a number of mediocre songs. The album format sees to be that it has one or two particularly good songs, but then 4 bad songs in a row.
The first four tracks are hot. I love the intro. It's really funny, but it's one of those skits that you need to turn up the volume for so that you catch each word. "Where We About to Take It" is a great track because of the beat. It's short but definitely worth listening to. After that I generally skip to "Do It to Death" because it's another one of those songs that has a hot beat. I don't know why, but, I was automatically attracted to this song. The same with "Extinction Level Event" and "Tear Da Roof Off."
Then of course there are "Gimme Some More," "Do the Bus a Bus," and one of my favorites, "What's it Gonna Be" with Janet Jackson. Each of these songs are filled with great beats, and they have some Busta's best rhymes.
But even though those are all great songs, but that's only 7 songs out of 19. What it really comes down to is how much you like Busta Rhymes and whether or not you are willing to pay the money to buy an album with such a low ratio of good songs.
