    There is no other and will never be another Busta Rhymes, so I hope nothing but greatness comes out of this deal.

    I wonder if “Blessed” will be put on the shelves or will he just re-work it with Universal Motown.

    Busta sucks …as a person. I used to love him so much, until I finally met him…He is a JACKASS and I hope his album never gets released…
