A History of Busta Rhymes & Q-Tip Collaborations

1994: A Tribe Called Quest ft. Busta Rhymes – “Oh My God”

It might only be a hook and granted its only one short line repeated almost twenty times in a row, but Busta’s energy somehow manages to hold the entire song together.Perhaps, its due to the fact that Q-Tip and Phife Dawg calmly rhyme with precision, perfectly placing each word where it needs to be, creating an amazingly refined vibe, which Bus immediately destroys upon his introduction, creating a great contrast of styles. Even in the video, he chooses to stand out by wearing a bright yellow knee length coat, with a matching furry hat; instead of the subdued, plain street clothes the two other emcees have on. It is a cool intermixing, nonetheless, one that deserves to be recognized.
