Busta is like a Hip-Hop encyclopedia 📖💯

One thing I respect most about Busta is that he's VERY thorough. He's not gonna sugarcoat or leave anything out. I can hear him tell stories all day.

The Biggie in the studio story, or not because of the stairs, plus the Tupac/Tribe insight is fascinating This is one of the best Smoke’s you’ve done fam; and thanks to Bus for taking us behind the curtain; man has a crazy memory and is a fascinating storyteller. Thanks fam!

Busta never gives a bad interview. But this one, this one night be his best one yet. Love hearing all the stories!!

I love the way everyone let each other speak with no interruptions. Great interview!

Mannn… this is masterful how Barnes & Stack literally sat there and listened… Ask a probing question and let Busta rock out! 99.9% of podcasters need to study this interview…

Lets get this interview 1mil views. Worth the listen black man

10/10 Couldn't get enough!

Bust be spittin that Taurus talk.. My born day two days before his.. Everything he said resonated.. Lost cousins and aunts before but when my pops left us in 2021 it hit different and i didn't have enough time with him being that he was only 65 at the time .. Shout out to everybody on the panel

My folks from the motherland gave me the love for Roots Reggae (Lucky Dube, Peter Tosh, Morgan Heritage, Bob Marley, etc), and the culture. One Love 💪🏿

Always LOVED Busta’s Energy And Delivery…Tremendous Guest Fellas, This Was Needed!! BUSTA!!!!!

Reggae being from Jamaica, which is neighbors next to all my Latin/indigenous countries, we all get along with each other as long as we respect. Not heavy racism, we can mess around with one another females, just have respect or we’ll kill you, simple. This American way of allowing disrespect for the past 300 years ain’t it. Laws that allow us to disrespect our people, but not defend, we’re gonna feel a type of way, however instinctively we all get along and music is a great communicator. Got to address the bigger issues now, thanks for the promo, all people but Latins especially coming up regardless💯💯

Top 10 right here. Graduated HS in Brooklyn in 93. This hit home. Thx fellas

Only word I got is straight dope!!! Awesome episode!!! Thank you!!!

lol they barely had to ask anything. My G held a lecture 😂

Top 3 all the smoke interview

These 2 hours went by so fast just listening to busta speak and tell these stories with his voice and just his raw enthusiasm to share it all!!! This was so 🔥🔥🔥 I just want more stories from him!!!

You are one of the legendary G.O.A.T.S! Your acting skills are phenomenal and energy is off the hook🎤

Wild Hot is the track he's talking about off the Rhyme and Reason soundtrack. Busta's verse on there... CRAZY!! That track is STILL 🔥🔥🔥 after all these years!

BUSTA GOT FIRE BREATHING BREATH FOR REAL 😂😂💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾

Damn, Busta never ceases to amaze and impress. Musical prowess aside, he is one special human being. A true role model for all men everywhere. So much love and respect to you, sir. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 All his interviews are required viewing. If only more folk were like him, the world would be a much better place.

BUSTA RHYMES IS A REAL ONE 🎉🎉🎉❤. WE APPRECIATE YOU BUSTA 🎉🎉🎉❤

Great interview!! Busta rhymes is a GOAT!

Good point Stacks Dababy, and Busta have some of the dopest videos in the game

Busta was my favorite since the film “higher learning” . He had my neck strained when he came out with the song where they was twirling they neck. 😂 much positive endeavors for this king/god

Howie T and Herbie Luv Bug had a crazy run in the 80s and early 90s

DAT SHIT WAS INCREDIBLE!!!!! Give Thanks!!!! Big up Busta Rhymes my G.O.A.T.

Lawd have mercy! That was such an enjoyable episode, fellas. Salute to my guys keep em coming. Salute the God Busta Rhymes. Instant classic.

Shout out to Stack 5 for the parallel of his rhyme style and the score of a movie! Dope perspective and I totally agree!

Salute to Busta , been a fan since the 5th grade '1997!

Not only the great stories but you felt like Busta was talking to you ( US) because Matt and Stack never interrupted and let the stories flow like they should. 💯 Kudos all around.

such a beautiful ending to an amazing interview big ups to allthesmoke and Busta Rhymes all legends!

Thank god this man still alive to talk and make music , a true hip hop legend / gawd 🔥 I’m glad he said that bout Eminem cous mfs be fronting on shady man it’s insane He started the dope rap videos And passed the torch to ludacris Travis Scott and dababy 🔥 dude is iconic

Another dope interview.

This interview is the best in 2024 so far for ALL THE SMOKE

Busta doesn’t get the credit he deserves when people talk about all time greats. He is and always has been one of the filthiest to ever do it. And this is a testament to his character and the intricacies that shaped the man that explodes the mic 🎙️ thank you so much!
