i am reminded here of nine's forgotten "lyin king" single, where the 90s' most 90s rapper opens the first 16 subdued and relatively calm like, 'i heard your album and i don't believe a word of it' and after a brief instrumental break repeats that same 16 in his macho man randy savage garden gruff performance voice. AHH - I HEARD UR ALBUM AND I DON'T BELIEVE A WORD OF IT. he was trying to say something about the nature of performance i think!
on "touch it" busta alternates every 8 bars in similar fashion and the beat changes with him, from collipark throb to wild-out stomp and back again. it is all quite exciting, especially after a year or more of pissing about from the nu interscope busta. there was that scott storch staccato violin one, "hurt you" i think? what a fantastically annoying song! anyway he was probably ecstatic when ying yang's "wait" blew up - who's likely to thrive better in a environment of flow-based gimmickry and mood conceptualizing? helpfully, the answer is in "touch it".
(listen to the bit i recorded.)
