AKA: Extinction Level Event - The Final World Front

E.L.E. (Extinction Level Event): The Final World Front 1998 Album

Busta Rhymes

I've been revisiting Busta Rhymes' albums and while I found some songs I'd forgotten about on his first two albums, this has less than I remember liking. I've never loved Busta's beat selection, and I don't enjoy a lot of the production on this project. It begins alright with the first few tracks but from 'Tear Da Roof Off' the songs that catch my attention get rarer. 'Keepin' It Tight' is very boring with 'Just Give It to Me Raw' and 'Tear Da Roof Off' being likewise. I feel like the Outro has some of the best production, but unfortunately Busta just talks over it. While it's still one of the better songs, even a Mystikal feature that is normally a recipe for a hot track, doesn't quite hit a home run. The chorus doesn't elevate the song at all. Fairly underwhelming, with too many skips, and it's required forced listens. Beats: ★★☆ Rapping/Bars: ★★★★ Hooks: ★★☆ Best Tracks: Everybody Rise, Where We Are About to Take It, Gimme Some More, Iz They Wildin Wit Us & Getting Rowdy Wit Us, What the Fuck You Want!!
