Brendon and I have a similar taste in music. In case you by now, he's my friend from college who also happens to be working with me at our former college. Well so we were discussing Busta Rhymes and then all of a sudden i said, "I think i'm the best person to compile a Top 10 List of Busta tracks." Naturally, he thought he was better adept for a task like that. So we're having this "thing" where we both compile lists and compare them to see how much different they are.

I've just spent the last 3 hours cutting down 105 tracks to just the few below. Yeah i know he's sang/been on more tracks than that but we had a few ground rules:

Tracks he featured on that are on other people's albums werent allowed. This technically meant that Flipmode Squad[1] tracks couldnt be on the list. Nor could i get to add those collabos with Rah Digga[2] on her albums. Argh!

Anyway, i tried... removing track after track... after track. Around at about 20 tracks, i began to think, "This isnt fair, i dont have to do this" I just saw some of my favorite songs going off the list. You could say, "Think of the bright side... there are youre 20 mostest favorite songs left on it. But you cant ever convince me that taking "Get High Tonite" off any list is not just plain EVIL!

Well i persisted. The list shrank, and shrank thought everytime i deleted i track it never seemed to get any closer to 10. I got to a point where i almost deleted "Dangerous" then i had an idea. Who ever said a Top 10 list can only contain 10 tracks? So here are my Top 10 Busta tracks:

# TITLE ALBUM FEATURING YEAR
01 Bladow!! Anarchy   2001
02 Put Your Hands Where My Eyes Could See When Disaster Strikes   1997
03 Bus-A-Bus [Remix] Bus-A-Bus (Single) [B-Side]   1999
04 Break Ya Neck Genesis   2002
05 Dangerous When Disaster Strikes   1997
06 Party Is Goin' On Over Here Extinction Level Event: The Final World Front   1999
07 Ready For War Anarchy M.O.P 2001
07 Street Shit Anarchy   2001
09 As I Come Back Genesis   2002
10 Woo Hah!! (Got Y'All in Check) The Coming Rampage 1995
11 Gimme Some More Extinction Level Event: The Final World Front   1999
11 Truck Volume Genesis   2002
13 Turn It Up / Fire It up Turn It Up (Single) [B-Side]   1997

If you thought getting it down to 13 tracks was hard enough... try sorting it into the most preferred. More than torture!! the judges on Pop Idol have it easy cos everyone that turns up there is shit anyway. And that has got nothing to do with Top 10 Busta so i'll just shut up now
