Busta Rhymes was destined for greatness. During his visit to DJ
Skee’s new Fuse show “SKEE TV” on Thursday, the hip-hop icon reminisced
about coming up as an MC in high school. He attended George
Westinghouse Career and Technical Education High School with two fellow
legends, the Notorious B.I.G. and Jay Z.
He never knew Biggie was an MC because Busta was never actually in
class. “I didn’t know Biggie rhymed in school ’cause in school we was
cuttin’ a lot of class and we was smokin’ a lot of weed and
bullshittin’,” he admitted.
But he was familiar with Hov’s talent. “I knew Jay Z was rhyming
’cause me and Jay Z battled in school, speed rapping,” he said. “He had
finessed the speed rapping phenomenally at that time and I was new with
the speed rapping, but losing that battle to Jay in speed rapping is
what made me one of the most dangerous speed rappers today.”
Years later, the tables have turned. “Jay know he can’t see me in no speed rapping today,” laughed Busta.
However, if it wasn’t for Jay, Busta wouldn’t have honed in on his
speed rapping. “He inspired my desire to want to master it because,
under the circumstances of how I took the L, it didn’t rest well with
me.”
He sharpened his skills, hoping for a rematch, but that moment never came.
For the rest of the interview, tune in to “SKEE TV” on Fuse at 10:30 p.m. tonight.
