Busta Strapped For Cash? Hov Collabo With T.I.?

Posted on April 30, 2007 10:50 AM

Rumor has it Busta Rhymes is the latest victim of "my credit is shot to hell because I'm not making enough money to pay shit off" syndrome. Supposedly he purchased a lot of jewelry and luxury items on credit since he thought he was about to make serious cheese on his latest album. But after it flopped...which he supposedly blames on illegal downloading...he can't pay off anything. He also supposedly is alienating his friends and people who can help him and this isn't the first time it's happened. Especially his friends since he's been acting an ass with them.

Word has it Hov will appear on T.I.'s T.I. v. Tip album releasing this summer. Andre 3000, b.k.a. The New King Of Collabos, will also hit one of the tracks on the album. Nice. And both Hov and Andre will be on Rick Ross' album...Hov is on a collabo with him called "Maybach Music"


Speaking of the Roc, Beanie Sigel has announced the name if his album is The Solution and is trying to keep the collabos to a minimum. With the exception of appearances from Scarface, Em, and Kid Rock of course.

Shouldn't Busta's money be making money by now. What happened to the investments? Nigga need to start making beats or something.

As much as HOV is that dude, his callabo verses have been horrible lately.

Seriously, Busta been in the game for a long minute now, his paper should be working for him now...

Its sad how niggas cant handle money

SINCE NOBODY SAID WHAT NUMBER THEIR POSTS ARE I THINK IT IS MY DUTY TO SAY


FOURTH!!!!

NEW N.O.R.E. ALBUM "GLOBAL WARMING 11368" COMING THIS SUMMER!!! WWW.MYSPACE.COM/NORE

......CHECK IT OUT!!!!!!

BUSTA: Nucca buyin all that B.S. jewerly, need to stack those chips, and stay outta the way of the law. Thats were all his money is going.

As for Hov keep doin it!

Busta is a prick. He's always treated people like shit. Not to mention the way he dealt with "his friend" getting killed. Bus, who the fuck do you think you are?

Big up LONS...CB is good people.


I get sick of rappers blaming downloading for the lack off sales!!!
guess what
THE PEOPLE WHO DOWNLOAD MUSIC HAD NO INTENT ON BUYING THE MUSIC TO BEGING WITH!!!
if they did they woulda brought it.

Busta ways to keep money
1)say outta court!!! legal fees is a bitch
2)leave the steroids alone!!!
3)thos big ass ignorant jewelz is just that ignant!!!

Hov is still da man, call me what ever

BROOKLYN STAND UP!!!

Busta yacked all that shat in his verses about having major doe.. Now that kat is pulling an MC Hammer.. You would think these niggaz would learn.. Stack paper, invest in diversified portfolio and make your paper grow even more. Establish multiple lines of income.. You cant rap forever old fuck..I use to love that kat.. Now hes just on some ID10T

i could care less if the almighty camel collabs with anyone. anyone remember "black republicans"? didn't help nas go plat. i could give a fuck about beans also.

i swear rappers are almost as bad as boxers when it comes to money managment...this nigga busta rhymes been in the game for at least 15 years been in mad movies and done remixes of just about every fucking song in the world and im sure his fees are up there wit the top dogs so the question is what the fuck is he doing with all this money?...its called investments ie real estate, and tangible goods ...but no these dumb ass niggas wanna spend all there money on fucking ice and lambo's...i mean if our gonna spend a million plus on jewels then at least get whole stones and not them cloudy shits so when hard times hit you got something that gaines and retaines value not loses it ...you motherfuckers ain't learned shit from hammer?! i feel for these idiots they got the whole fucking world at there finger tips and somehow always manage to fuck it up...fools

i put busta & Game in the same fucked up position both these niggaz is in the RED
why?
big budget albums with big name producers then both BIG BANG & DR'S ADVOCATE FLOPPED miserably

Busta & Game lost alot of dough on their prospective projects

niggaz need to recoup

Isn't it funny how Busta just went gangsta in the last five years. He was the guy next door, now he decided to become Triple OG in his mid-thirties. In the past, we woud never hear about Busta getting into trouble. Busta is a clown and his music is no longer authentic. And that's the reason his record sales are suffering.

Everybody brags about their accounts but nobody seems to have accountants. These rappers need to get a clue and a financial planner.

@ Black Book
what about the downloading????
lol


BROOKLYN STAND UP!!!

Its a shame that Busta been in the game so long and still hasnt learned to manage his money. Thats why we have accountants to help us Busta! Its time for Hip Hop to grow out of that "chain game" bs. If you got money it should be on securing your future not living for the moment all the time. Thats why you got Jay-Z and Diddy always making money and on they way to billionaires.

THERE'S A MARKET FOR NIGGERS

BROOKLYN STAND UP!!!

THERE'S A MARKET FOR NIGGERS!!!!

BROOKLYN STAND UP!!!

LOOK AT DA WAY BUSTA RAPS HE SHOULD BE BROKE HE NEEDS TO STICK TO BEING ON VERSES ON OTHER TRACKS. T.I. IS DA KING N WHEN YOU PUT HOV ON A TRACK IT DOESNT GET ANY BETTER

damn 50 and Em is on everything this year. these muthafuckas gonna make hella money especially 50 by the end of the year

shady/aftermath - takin over again

Busta go see 50, Jay-Z or Master P, if you want to learn how to keep your paper up and have your money making money.

That nigga busta is a busta for that move. How is he 30 something fuckin up like that. He bought all them stupid ass chains, like sports teams chains, and now this stupid ass cant pay it back!!!! nigga better pawn them muthafuckas and fake his death. nigga been rapping since like the 80's, and still aint got no paper???? thats why you gotta respect hova.

hey yo.
i gotta 12" wang chun anybody wanna suki suki

THERE'S A MARKET FOR NIGGERS!!!!

BROOKLYN STAND UP!!!

Ain't that a bitch. My thoughts exactly.

who started this stupid rumor. I got major paper. i get at $50 000 to $100 000 for doing shows at least four every month. and I got millions in the back. ya'll better shut your yap up, before I smake it back up

Busta also bragged about having Money market and BS blah blah in a few of his earlier track I belive on Extenction level album- SO SAD.
BLACKBOOK is correct it is Funny how Bust all of a sudden turned into a gangsta! Busta used to be on some old Party and bullshit, fun consious sht now he swole the f-k up on steriods and starts beef- Cut his Dreads and lost his dam mind. He betta sell them jewels back- I hope this story about him being broke is not true because he has been in the game for a minute now! He needs to fall the helll back and start releasing some material from the Flip mode squad! He let his girl from the Flip mode bounce and he could have at least relased an album from his Hype man- or something maybe a Flipmode callabo that! Karma is a bit**. After all the bad press heads don't even care to see his as** anywhere.
He does put on a good show, he should do a mini tour or something! I wish him the best though. Busta could actually turn out to be to be the male version of Foxy brown LOL!

Some rappers are the worst money managers. How hard is it to jus buy about 10 Mc Donalds or some business to keep the cashflow comin in. Ice is cool bur some of these guys over do it.

Ice dosen't make money for u, buy about 10 franchises, a swiss bank account etc. & you're set for life. These guys are tooo busy sayin look @ my chain but that bank account is busted. These guys should have all the money secrets!!!

When are our black people gonna learn. Fuck all that shown you rich shit. Dudes need to learn how to accumulate wealth like Jay, Diddy and 50. People can hate on people like 50 and Dipset all day but they got their business straight. Busta's situation is more sad than anything else. 15 years deep and no cash? What the fuck.

i agree with homie about hovs verses. bustas been broke the whole time. thats fucked up because new york rappers have that ego problem and he will never get up. AND JAY-Z IS BACK............DAMN, GAME OVER.

SMH NIGGAZ IN THA RAP GAME IS SORRY B. THIS IS JAY-Z AND DIDDY LAUGH AT NIGGAZ WEN THEY DISS EM. CUZ ALL DESE NIGGAZ BEEN N THA GAME 4 THA SAME AMOUNT OF TIME MAYBE EVEN LONGER YET NIGGAZ DONE BEEN ON 3 OR 4 DIFFERENT LABELS AND STILL AINT GETTIN BREAD NOT 2 CHANGE THA SUBJECT BUT THIS IS Y HOVA IS THA BEST HUSTLA N THA RAP GAME HE WENT FROM A NIGGA WHO LABELS DIDNT WANNA GIVE HHIM A DEAL THEN HIM AND HIS NIGGAZ JUS SAID FUCK AND MADE THEY OWN LABEL NOW THIS NIGGA WORTH OVER 600 MILLION DOLLARS 10 YEARS LATA? EVERY RAPPER N THA GAME SHOULD TAKE A CLASS FROM THAT NIGGA B WORD UP REMEMBER THA LINE " I USE 2 BALL LIKE DAT NOW I OWN A BALL TEAM HOLLA BACK, NOW WE GOT BLACK CARDS GOOD CREDIT N SUCH BABY BOY NOW IM ALL GROWN UP" ANY NIGGA N THA GAME 30 N UP (THAT INCLUDES U CAM AND JIMMY)U NEED 2 HEAR DAT SONG AND THINK ABOUT THA FUTURE INSTEAD OF BUYIN BULL SHYT NOW IM ONLI 20 AND I WOULDNT EVEN BUY ALL DEM CHAINS DAT NIGGA BUSTA GOT

i put busta & Game in the same fucked up position both these niggaz is in the RED

NAWW!! MY MAN BUSTA FLOPT MISERABLY ON HIS AFTERMATH DEBUT NOT THE GAME,REMEBER HE DID IT ALL BY HIM

shame for Busta...Album was hot....but I don't know...maybe that nigga should've kept the DREADS and SHIT...As for my nigga, HOV...THAT nIGGA still sick as ever...now granted he may not go balls out on TRACKS...but that nigga's flow is still way fresher, lightyears ahead of niggas....plus the LAFFIN at EM is stupid...he make that shit so EASY..that's why muthaphuckas front....they don't even realize how ill hov is on his laziest day....but as long as these non-writin', non-rhymin' Dr. Suess mu'phuckas continue to pic up a mic, the god-MC will always get his DUE....it's the ROC ya, RAT BASTARDS!

AIGHT THEN.

Busta ain't broke he just bit off more than he can chew. He's rich nicca broke i.e. "I can't afford to pay for my G5 or yacht anymore" Not I have to go back to the projects and eat fried bologna sandwiches.

aye Brooklyn B

other than me gettin the albums sent to me from someone for a preview, i download for the same reason. I have every intentions to buy em, but really alot of shit just aint worth shellin out $$$$$ for, and i'd be damned if i get tricked into coppin some shit durin dat first-week discount just for some sub-par artistry to be backed by "well i sold (x) amount the first-week."

I really think the artists that bitch about lack of sales due to downloading overlook the fact that made a weak ass overall album that most don't feel is worth the $$$.

This is the era of the "Ringtone Rapper"

you need a catchy jingle the kids can spend 2 plus dollars on for a 30 second dose of "being cool".

i own no ringtones. If i wanted one that bad, i'd hit up da Pro-Tools or Adobe Auditions and chop up my own tracks literally.

Hov is sick! i'm happy hes back in full effect!

@busta: you're right, all of a sudden hes a gangsta! not a good look! & the sports-team-chains did look expensive! :D idiot!

I'll teach all ya'll how not to fall into the same boat as these broke rappers. Just hit me up

Busta is wack! He was hot back in 90's.
This new gangsta busta makes no sence to me. I was shocked when I saw the new image. Touch it was wack. The two different voices in the song was fuckin annoying. That I love my chick was wack. NY ish was wack. The beat was crazy. It shoulda had nas on it. Im used to Busta with the funny dreads and clown suits. LMAO WHOO HA! Gay ass Ni**A.

I got to say, with 15+ in the game and all that star appearances on those shows and movies, there is NO WAY Busta is broke.


Stop believin every rumor you hear

LOL @ BUSTA

I DIDNT BUY THE BIG BANG FOR TWO VERY SIMPLE REASONS:

1. WHEN I HEARD "NEW YORK SHIT" I THOUGHT, ISNT THAT THE SAME NIGGA THAT JUMPED ON THE "LAFFY TAFFY REMIX"?
YES IT IS. WHAT A JOKE.

2. THAT HE DIDNT HELP THE COPS TO GET YAYO BEHOND BARS BECAUSE YAYOS ENTOURAGE WAS INVOLVED IN THE RAMIREZ SHOOTING.

BUSTA HAS NO CREDIBILITY.
AND SOON NO CREDIT EITHER, LMAO.

LOL Busta should come out with his own cartoon. He looks like a cartoon character. Who know maby he could make the money back for that wack ass album & corny jewelry he bought.

Like my man nas say- he in his 2nd childhood.

WHOO HA!

yall right.that is a stupid move for bus, he was supposed 2 be pass dat stage of bling, or never shouldve even come across that ,especially coming from leaders of the new school,what happened 2 his originality like "whats the scenario and his early joints,they wasnt like everything else out and thats what made him hot, he should be gettin his jay z on and let his roster of flip mode squaders make his paper for him by now. he was in mad movies, mad remixes what do u need a ny mets and a big apple chain 4?u been in the game 4 too long to have 2 selkl ya sell short like dat. i dont know who he tryin to get across 2, but he got respect and he losing it by trying to be like these young rap cats out here with colorful bling,u been in the game 4 too long and done made 2 musch songs and movies 2 be dat type of flashy rapper.

Busta is broke cause of all those chains he copped. The Jets peice, Giants piece, the big NY chain, all that shit he rocks, now he broke. And why Jay doing shit with all these fags, TI, Rick Ross?

Its a RUMOR
problem is Sohh promotes Rumors like their true


Seriously Busta starred in movies
and has multiple Platinuim albums and Headlined in Tours.
A few jewelry purchases are not going to break Busta's bank. He probably got beef wit someone and their trying to drag his name through the money

If his money was that tight
he could sell off his cars or old jewelry alone and be straight
think people

BROOKLYN B
YOU ARE WRONG. ILLEGAL DOWNLOADNG IS TAKING A TOLL ON RECORD SALES.
BUSTA HAS SOME UGLY AND GAUTY. HE'S NOT TRYIN TO BE LIKE OLD SCHOOL CATS BY WEARING OLD SCHOOL DUKIE ROPE CHAINS. 50 TOLDBUSTA TO STOP WEARING THEM BECAUSE THEY MAKE HIM LOOK OLD AND OLD SCHOOL.
HOV IS DOING SHIT WITH THEM BECAUSE THE SOUTH IS ON TOP AND UNLIKE OTHER ARTIST THAT COMPLAN, HE, JUST AS THEY SHOULD JUMP ON TRACKS WITH THEM

LMAO Busta Busta Busta!!

I Guess that wack ass big bang aint bang hard enough. I knew that album was wack by the first single. LOL then he dropped that 2nd single. Then the third single. Then the 4th single. He wasted all his money promoting a garbage album and making videos for garbage songs.

LMAO now he wants to be a gangsta. come on buster your not fooling anybody. your name explains it best. your a busta that rhymes. your not fooling anybody. your the funny animated rapper. if you would stay true to yourself you woulda sold records and you wouldnt be broke right now.

word of advice buster, pawn that wack jewelry. you look like a over grown kid.

get your financing right.

Busta change is a lil light he was shooting wild videos on his old albums that were selling 1 mil a pop that eats at your profits, then he went to aftermath, Dre hitting that ass for 250k a track, bus barely went gold he ain't recoup he been carrying flipmode that's an extra 6 mouths, he got a couple of kids, that celebrity child support ain't no joke!! legal fees from the troubles, and finally them Balco payments.... steriods is expensive!!!! Far as acting, you don't really think Bus got a fat check for the shaft sidekick remake BS??? Nucca please

LMAO beans got all these crackers on his album. kid rock & eminem. I hope it works

remember what ya life like?

we need more classic like that in hip hop.

Busta bust!! what could i say "WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HahHHHHHHHH, you need to cut the check" is what he needs to be telling Dre. Busta is a sick dude when it comes to lyrics, and performance. His paper has to be long. busta is not spending new money!!! unless he was ignorant to reality and indulged in this rap Culture (cause thats what rap is, a culture). theres no reason for busta to be broke. i mean he can buy the jewlery, but at what cost??? do you really need that man diamonds?? need we another blood diamond movie to reminds folks of whats going on and happening. why cant a rapper be broke off of donating to charity???? why must us Black people subcome to glitz and glamour?? do we really need diamonds to have a good time?? why must we have to SHINE just to proVE WE HAVE MONEY??? why is hip hop the only musical genre suffering from lyrical expression?? because of what we have become and what we a rubbing off onto other races. and it starts with image! why does diamonds, cars and provacative women intrigue us?? why does this have to be the criteria for success in the rap game??!

Bustsa is fine as hell, especially after bulking up for the big bang. He could get it ANYDAY, no homo

but the dude's a flop

TI and ANDRE 300 on the same track....bout damn time!!!!!!!

I'm almost certain that Busta isn't the only RAP dude who's broke. We hear the stories all of the time about these dudes on TV getting paid with Rolex watches, fancy cars, JEWELRY, instead of cold-hard cash. I mean, them dudes RAP about being PIMPS. But, they're REALLY rapping about BEING pimped.

I commend Jay-Z and others like him that invest their money and have it work for them but it's funny to me how mafuckas think these dudes are so "business saavy".

This just goes to show how stupid a mafucka can be. This dude Busta has been makin hit records since LOTNS and now he can't pay his bills?!?!? He blames it on illegal downloading!?!?!?....LMAO. If you were to only net 100,000 a year which I'm sure he nets much more than you should be able to have your finanances in order and at the very least live a comfortable life. But NO, these fuckin idiots go and buy 50,000 dollar chains and shit. If I was Busta I wouldn't wanna be caught dead in anything other than Target clothes after this business got aired out. What a fucking fool!!!

Shame on Busta for counting his eggs before they hatch. He's been in the game long enough to no better.

As for MC Hammer, his down fall wasn't helping all those people out, it was that 12 million dollar house he had built in Cali. Can you imagine how much the taxes alone on a 12 million house is a year!

Look for dat Saigon and Joell Ortiz!!!!
One

I can't believe this shit. Busta should be ashamed of himself. If niggaz would quit try to floss and buy excessive jewelry and ten and twenty fucking cars invest your cash, quit wasting it on dumb shit

What cracks me up is when Hammer was hot everybody & they momma called him a sellout jus for showin regular rappers its more to the game than jus rappin, now look @ what everybody doin. Some people didn't learn from his mistakes (Busta).

I also blame ths labels cause they kno what kind of people they signing & what kind of family structure they come from. Some rappers are never taught the true value of a dollar, especially if daddy wasn't there growing up. These ceo's take advantage of that lack of education!!!

THE GAME DIDN'T FLOP ...
HE DAMN NEAR PLAT RIGHT NOW!!!

I seen busta rapping at a homeless shelter, saying he had more money than anybody there, and he was selling bootleg copy's of his last album.

COME ON WE ALL KNOW BUSTA SPENT ALL HIS BREAD ON STEROIDS AND THEM UGLY AZZ CHAINS HE WEARS, I HOPE HE IS BROKE I GOT A JOB FOR HIM HOLLA ATCHA DOG BROKESTA RHYMES!!!

If those damn rappers would INVEST in a savings account, bonds and shit like that, and not go over-board trying to ball they wouldn't have these types of problems. It's no excuse for people who are as rich as these folks to be strapped for cash. A fucking waste.

Looking forward to the Hov/T.I. collab.

If the Busta thing's true, I woulda thought he was investing some of that cash over the years. Not to mention part of the reason for the money problems probably come from all the legal fees from the cases he keeps catching now.

i cant believe busta is broke , these artist need to get their money right

i think that song is gonna sound wack.
