Because he's never brought up in a GOAT or best rapper alive discussion.
IYO, Does Busta Rhymes have any classics?

The Genesis was wack
The Coming was his best album... and is a classic.

I see dudes listing Genesis and Anarchy and IMO those are his wackest albums. Especially Anarchy.

True, since Anarchy his music has been decent at best. I used to be a huge fan. He began to switch is style up in order to stay relevant in today's rapgame. Did I miss something but when the hell did he start posting up on the block, flippin birds wit a pistol in his waist. It seems like thats all he talksabout now other than the routine club joint. He can't go from riding elephants in videos and wearing ridiculous outfits to all of sudden being thugged out.He's damn near 40, its too late to switch his style up now.

These are the only Bussa Bus calssics IMO. The rest are just regular hits. And I think the reason people don't mention him in GOATdiscussions is b/c no one really takes him seriously

No doubt both were good albums but classic ? I think we just define classic differently. Has nothing to do with it being commercial either. There are plenty ofcommercial albums that are classics.
How do you define classic ? When I see classic I think of my list of top albums and things like OB4CL, The Infamous etc come to mind. I don't see BustaRhymes up there.

lyrics and flow
production that ages better with time
replay value
high mic ratings during the source's credible years
overall being able to transport me in that moment in time as soon as i put the CD or MP3 files on my ipod and the joint comes up.
alot of people would say busta rhymes earned his legend stripes a while ago...so wouldn't a legend's best offerings be considered classic by thedefault? if thats the case then you gotta
classify busta's solo debut and sophmore lp as classic offerings.

Fair enough.
I respect Busta's time in the game but I wouldn't call him a legend. I don't think that both albums are universally agreed upon as some of the besthip hop joints ever. With true classics, you pop them in and pretty much everyone will find something to enjoy, front to back it has to be almost flawless. Theword classic has to hold weight. Lately on NT it's been getting thrown around on things that were no where near classic.. being a good or great album =/=classic.

The Coming and E.L.E are both classics to me.
E.L.E was very unique, even for '99. "The Bus a Bus", "Take It Off", "Gimme Some More" those are all serious bangers.

I loved Def Squad, but thats just an old "above standard posse cut" from the 90's to me� It's definitely hot, but not something I'd throw in classic category

kind of like big punisher

This is why I made this post because I believe Busta is a legend but cant think of a classic album he has.
