Quick Hit: The Story Behind the Best Guest Verse Ever: Busta Rhymes’ “Scenario” (Video)

Posted by Nathan S. on 11/29/11 | Filed under Features, Videos, Rap Nerdery, Quick Hits, Busta Rhymes, A Tribe Called Quest



I don't make a statement like this lightly - Busta Rhymes on "Scenario" is my greatest guest verse of all-time pick. Not only is it dope in its own right, two decades later and even Nicki Minaj is sweating it, but I can't remember another verse doing so much to launch a rapper's career. Before "Scenario" Busta was "that guy in Leaders of the New School". After he was "holy shit, you gotta hear this dude Busta Rhymes rap."

Which is exactly why I'm so interested in any behind the scenes info on "Scenario", like the fact that Q-Tip wrote Busta's section on Tip's own verse as an introduction. Goddamn, the rap nerd in me eats this shit up.
