Released in 2001, the album debuted at number 7 on the Billboard 200 and ultimately sold 1 million copies in the US and was certified platinum. The fourth single from the album, \"Pass the Courvoisier Part II\", peaked at number 11 on the Billboard Hot 100. On Genesis, the beats seem darker and more synth-oriented, giving it an edge reminiscent of the bass-heavy G-funk sound. \"As I Come Back\" is a good example, featuring a sustained keyboard note droning on throughout the chorus with Busta rapping in his raspy style. Busta Rhymes can also make a good dance song, like the hypnotic \"What It Is,\" a fractured funk anthem that features robotic female vocals from Kelis and a slow beat consisting of clicks and snaps. Other guest appearances include P. Diddy's turn on the dramatic \"Pass the Courvoisier,\" Mary J. Blidge on \"There's Only One,\" and the occasional appearances by the Flipmode Squad, as well as production work from Pete Rock and Dr. Dre, among others.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Music On Vinyl","offers":[{"title":"LP - Black","offer_id":50484371259723,"sku":"1088427","price":42.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/14a1f31b-22bd-41c5-a52b-b141b206a9ce_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727589790"},{"product_id":"the-coming","title":"The Coming","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn 1996, Busta Rhymes delivered his debut album, \u003cem\u003eThe Coming\u003c\/em\u003e, three years after the Leaders of the New School unofficially disbanded. Though his talents were evident on those Leaders of the New School releases, Busta went on a series of features that only built up the public's desire for a solo Busta album. Right out of the gate, Busta dropped his classic debut single \"Woo Hah!! (Got You All in Check)\" that made it abundantly clear he was to be mentioned among Hip Hop's greatest solo artists. The energy and originality packed on that one song set a tone for the album that displays Busta's raw talent and ability to bend words with his ever rambunctious flow. The album features production by Easy Mo Bee, DJ Scratch, Q-Tip, and J Dilla. Songs such as \"Everything Remains Raw\", \"Abandon Ship\", and \"Still Shining\" all rise above as The Coming's stand-out tracks, but \"Ill Vibe\" is the album's crown jewel moment. Busta sounds right at home over this J Dilla beat, trading verses with his Native Tongue cohort Q-Tip. The Coming was a critical and commercial success for Busta Rhymes. It reached #6 on the Billboard 200 chart in 1996 and has since received a platinum certification from RIAA. As mentioned, The Coming boasts the hit single \"Woo Hah!! Got You All in Check \" which reached #8 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in 1996. It was nominated for a 1997 Grammy Award for Best Rap Solo Performance. It also ended up sporting another hit single, It's a Party featuring Zhané. The Coming shows amazing variety where Busta can break free from the bells and the whistles of the Busta Dungeon Dragon flow to explore other ways of leaving our jaws open by his incredible lyricism. The Coming surely lives up to its title, as Busta delivers a performance that ignited his impeccable solo career.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Get On Down","offers":[{"title":"2LP - Silver With Red","offer_id":52972150915403,"sku":"R3850-0010","price":42.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/2000x2000bb_e0d68b15-146a-4106-80ef-ca648f3127ea.jpg?v=1753110413"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/collections\/test_b8d15cd2_thumbnail_4096_2de95057-e944-4a31-a40e-ad37c6af73ec.jpg?v=1726474952","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/collections\/busta-rhymes.oembed","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
