Who stole Busta Rhymes' powers?

Why can't Busta Rhymes be anything more than a 1 verse rapper? From 96-99, Busta was RED FUCKING HOT. Then he did that horrible Violator shit and that weird Janet Jackson jam and it's like everyone turned the station on his entire career. I have this theory that Ludacris stole his powers.

Just like in "Undercover Brother." The downfall is always in the chicken.

So they both rhyme fast, get in your face and yell, crazy long braids, supporting roles in horror films and movies about racism...and then magically within months of each other, this happened...

So, then Busta Rhymes basically disappeared. he pretended to rap for the masses while he apparently just took steroids and ate a lot of food cause he showed up with a new Young Money/Cash Money contract and all of this going on with his jugular.

Nothing about this dude says "Young Money"

Busta is a "legend" in the game because anyone that dropped a hot verse in a song with Biggie or Q-Tip in the 90s gets those credentials (it's true, Wikipedia it).

Ludacris, on the other hand, looks to be going in the same direction Busta Rhymes headed. His Disturbing Tha Peace label, much like Busta's Flipmode Squad is pretty non-existent and absent of any artists besides himself. He puts albums out that get 1-2 singles released and you can never reference them to any friends because they aren't big enough hits to strike a chord in their memories, no matter how well I try to sing "My chick bad, my chick hood" in my best chopped & screwed voice.

And if this isn't the biggest sign for Luda, he hasn't dropped an album in 2 years and nobody cares. Yet, he occasionally gets on remixes, usually for DJ Khaled, which will just make us all pretty complacent with hearing no more than 16 bars from Luda.

Busta Rhymes put out a free mixtape called "Year of the Dragon" which by all accounts is pretty bad. But I did manage to find one gem on the album.

Where I come from, Saturday mornings are for Wrestling: Monday Nitro 3/16/1998

This is one of the most historically horrible promos in WCW's history because it's funny for all the wrong reasons. WCW used to do these live Spring Break shows at bars surrounded by a pool where only 1/3 of the crowd was there for the wrestling. But of course, you put Scott Hall in a spring break party and he's going to show up to cut his promo drunk. 

The ending is classic and makes 0 sense and anytime wrestlers wear flip flops, well to quote a guy I once worked for, "It just feels right."

    

SummerSlam Isn't What It Used To Be

So I just realized tonight is WWE's SummerSlam. The countless automated commercial on my Comcast On-Demand became background noise. This weekend I've been in an old-school wrestling kick so I thought it'd be appropriate to break out an oldie but goodie. I finally opened up Volume I of my SummerSlam Anthology. I opted to pop in SummerSlam 89.

 My initial reaction was, 'How could I have picked a Tony Schiavone show right off the bat?' Anything involving Tony Schiavone is horrible.

Anywho, why does WWE refuse to use their own music for pay per view events? Ultra/pop/alternative/classic/rock songs are annoying and gives me bad thoughts when I actually hear the song on the radio and think of the pay per view I didn't enjoy.SummerSlam Music is so awesome

I'm the wrong audience and I'm a snobby pro-wrestling purist and I grew up on way too much Coliseum Home Videos.

Disclaimer: I don't have any idea who is actually wrestling on tonight's card and this is strictly based off my own, stubborn, uneducated opinion.
