Busta Rhymes Total Devastation: The Best Of Busta Rhymes ✦ Recommended & Fast

What stands out most on this compilation is the production. This collection reminds the listener that Busta had the uncanny ability to pick beats that sounded like the apocalypse set to a breakbeat. Whether it’s the muddy, chaotic stomp of "Put Your Hands Where My Eyes Could See" or the frantic, electronic urgency of "Gimme Some More," the soundscape here is aggressive and cinematic.

Released on October 2, 2001, serves as the ultimate summary of one of hip-hop’s most explosive eras. Issued by Elektra Records just as Busta was transitioning to Clive Davis’s J Records, this 18-track compilation captures the raw energy, manic speed-flow, and visual eccentricity that defined the rapper from 1991 to 2000.
