This interview was what we, as a people, needed! This is the level of consciousness I’m used to! Busta Rhymes has the presence of mind to be in the moment with relevance! This is necessary, especially for a grown black woman to hear!

This is Black Male Growth in session.

Nothing in this music world can match HIP HOP ! The music , the culture, the psychology or the sociology !!!

wait...busta said..."the significant value of the civil liberty of privacy was something to be treasured" ! Whoa...precision in the English language is almost lost in portions of our community. Words have power...the right application of those words promote positive change and growth! This interview displays two masters! Thank you!

This was the most incredible interview that I have ever seen. I loved the fact that he allow him to answer the questions. I loved the way he conducted this interview has if it was just an conversation. I loved Busta reaction to what people had to say about him he was genuinely shocked by what people had to say. I loved his honesty. Just an really good interview. Busta voice is incredible it has an James Earl Jones effect.

Love you Busta. He is right you are a legend and you are loved.

Wow I really enjoyed this interview. Busta you are on point and I know what you have been through. I'm fighting right now for my life and health. Keep up the good work. You have just given me more inspiration to keep working on my health. To God be the Glory Brother....

Inspirational, legendary. Thank you for this Busta. I may never get to see you in concert like I always wanted, but this was maybe even more valuable.

Love listening to dude talk

He didn't just get flower......he got multiple bouquet!!!!!, which is wellllllll deserved
As a DJ for 28 years, this album is without a doubt a "classic" album.

The moment at the end with Spliff’s comment!!!!!!!!!! Genius!!!!!! Awesome interview!!!

tahiem jr is his name

Great interview Van. Busta a di boss PERIODDTTT 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲

This interview is 🔥

Those chairs combined w/Busta's sweater reminds you of royalty.👑 Always ❤'d Busta, took me back down memory lane...great interview.

This whole interview was beautiful yet deeply root grounded with knowledge.
—Wow!! When two men are so sure of themselves as men.
The vernacular rhythm as they speak about their life is so lyrical. It only can be heard when you quiet yourself with each flow.
Well done 🙏🏾

You really should do a Masterclass on how to properly conduct an interview. This was perfect. So refreshing to for once see someone truly interested in what the other is saying. No bs or fakeness.

Viva Busta

Man after seeing so much breakfast club and what not it really makes me appreciate a proper interview like this

thank you for your testimony

Why is the audio so low? 😩

What came to mind for me with CLAAMPP is Celestial Levels of Attitude and Altitude of Music from Powerful Prophets
sir all i can do is shake my head no words keep on keepin on

God is The ONLY one who deserves recognition.

Some of your experience are very relatable !! Great interview

Love it 🔥

Not so fun fact: we almost lost busta rhymes during 2020 due to illness. Thank God he made it through.

Unfuckwithable. 🤣🤣🤣 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼 Agreed. 🔥🔥🔥🌄💎

'Watch, as I combine all the juice from the mind'

Busta Rhymes is deep, focused , articulate and full of history. My Brother from another mother. Props to Van for having this soulful interview with such a legend .✌🏾

Who gave the thumbs down 2 this interview..???
Wired people!
Very good interview 👍🏾

What an intense and focused interview. When I came across this interview I just knew it was going to be good. I have to admit that I was taken aback by the interviewer because Van jones is known for political commentary so I didn't see him outside his sphere. So, this interview opened my eyes to Van jones' levels. Due to Busta Rhymes being the story teller he is that this was not going to be a miss. So poignant... Awesome interview

When "Woo Hah!! Got You All in Check" came out, I went a live performance at some spot in NYC. I looked to my right and Jay was right there (no crew, no body gaurd, just by himself) watching Busta intensely almost like he was taking mental and visual notes...but I could tell it was mostly admiration. So the first quote I can totally understand.

Wow. That was powerful

peace to youth in- action in the 70s people know what im talking about...

So fluid! So deep! This interview was amazing! Vulnerability! Grown man shit! Van did really well! Wow

Extinction Level Event 2 is truly Busta Rhymes Magnum Opus.

Thankful that you're still here busta 🙏

Legendary!! Mr. Rhymes should record some books for kids , story's or world History ... when he talks its sounds so beautiful, eaven the pause he dose when Talking, says more than just words!! 🥰🧝‍♀️🕊🤗🌍

I’m so glad I clicked on this. Thank you

Crazy, Busta and I kind of grew up similarly. Except I eventually came around and worked for my Pop. Now I own my own company. Listening to this in the middle of the night as I work. Dope stuff.

Wow!

Thoroughly enjoyed that.
People may not agree about who the beat rapper is, which is fine because opinions are personal. BUT.....Busta is possibly the best lyrical technicians. Listen to his rhythmic delivery and it compares to the most intricate jazz timings. No top rapper does it like Busta.

Busta next album could be just him talking. Coolest voice in the history of earth.

This was just an epic interview on so many levels.

I'm proud of you Busta, keep telling the gifts of your ascending being. Enlightened agent of the Stratosphere. (-: Great interview.

Busta....I appreciate the interview, but I wanted to respond to your comment regarding blacks not being mentioned or included in the Bible.
Contrary to popular opinion and conclusion, blacks have been mentioned and identified in the Bible LITERALLY beginning from Genesis (Ham), the Gospels (Simon of Cyrene), Acts (the Ethiopian eunuch), to Revelation (chaps 4-5).
We're in the book bruh! ✌️

Hearing how the old music business was just shows how far we’ve come. Always love to hear an OG talk! Respect Busta ✊🏾

Respect!!! Thanks for an awesome interview

Greetings to Busta Rhymes, if it had not been for the shutdown, my response to media interview of you, and prompt me to ask for your backing in building mirco homes in pierce County washington state as investment, no free stucks and by Black Female Developers.

Such a powerful and enlightening interview. #ThisIsHipHop

Busta needs his own radio/tv program. Biography book, leadership training. Life coach
He needs his wisdom to reach young people.
I might be late to this party...but I'm not leaving anytime soon!

This was DOPE AF!!!

"very few people walk in their anointed space"

Great interview

@17:17 "babysitted" lolol oh man,babysat?

Busta Rymes didn't stay in Brooklyn that long as far as high school go. He went to Uniondale high school in Long . I was in 2 of his videos in the 80ties. One of the best rappers of all time.

Busta is truly engrained in the Fabric that is Hip Hop!!! Listen 2 the way he talks, watch how he moves, his Energy Flows Strong yet Easy. If u can feel his All over Vibe... He's on that 👑 Ish!!, He's sitting exactly where he should be as the culture bestows precious stones to his much Deserved & Earned Crown!! 💯 👑

turn on auto captions please

That was a real to life interview never knew . Rip bust forever...

This was a profound and thought provoking interview who else better than Van Jones to do it. Always liked Busta’ s whole presentation such a man of wisdom! I’m an old head who’s a fan.

Busta brought African cultural to hip-hop and made it sexi,. He made you proud to be African/ black and wanted to embrace that ish. At least for me that is, and I will forever love him for that.❤️❤️

Bus our health issue were the same GOD, thanks for sharing

Big up DA GOD. P.E.A.C.E.

Trevor Tahiem Smith, Jr.

Salute ✊🏿KINGS on a well need conversation it helped

2021 yaas the full circle is coming💯 that James Earl Jones 'heart'. Real men 'Spiritual'

Bussa buss 💪🏾✊🏾

Van Jones and his crew are SELLING BLACK PEOPLE OUT WITH A “THIRD RECONSTRUCTION”!!! Y’ALL ARE GOING TO LET WHITE SUPREMACY CO-OPT US LIKE THAT??? OMGGG!!! 😢😢😢😢😢

Top shelf interview, I couln't stop watching. Well Done Van!!!!

Listening to Busta just narrate these memories and scenes is so vivid, I hate that I wasnt born earlier and lived in New York. Busta is a top tier lyricist and story teller.

This is timely and sorely needed. Hip-Hop is a force and we need to recognize the power in it and the positive leaders in and of it! Thank you

Awesome interview Van Neil Jacobs 🇿🇦 south africa

I have to say that was one of the most inspiring interviews I've ever sat down and watch it was something to grow from lets me know im not the only one that feels that way about life most of the subjects reminded me of how I grew up it is amazing how people can be just a like and have to different live with different skills same drive and from similar up bringing. I've been a fan of this man since the day he hit the rap world 🌎 I can go on and on .

I'm a huge fan of Busta he is so creative with his lyrics he has always been in a lane of his own

Much love from 🇹🇹👑👑👑🇯🇲🥂🥂🥂🌟✨🌟✨🌟✨ you’re a LEGEND GODFATHER

Great storyteller and entertainer hands down

Man of metaphors

Underrated I luv the 90' Busta Rhymes look but im in love with his mind now!

A son should never have to fear his father and I know in the Bible it says to fear God but you don’t understand the meaning of the word fear then biblically the word fear means to be in awe of

How do you have people disliking this interview. People today are bugged out.

Really enjoyed this interview on a lot of levels. Young men should definitely view it, but certainly everyone can relate to something that is said. Great Job on this interview @Van Jones! Thank you for sharing about your full life @Busta Rhymes! 👍💕

#DoreenVirtuesLegends @#LegendOfTheFall @#DennisTheMenace

Absolutely wonderful wonderful interview with Hip Hop royalty and being REAL about the whole thing. Busta Rhymes nearly left us yet, our Saviour saved him and he's not done.
Salute to you Busta and keep doin the thing!!

BUSTA!!! CONGRATS!!! U ARE AND WILL ALLWAYS BE A TRUE LEGEND. BEEN A FAN SINCE DAY ONE.

Busta Rhymes has the best way of explaining things like the way he raps with metaphors and the most articulate artist today. And he really unpacked a lot things that's been happening with him.

Busta off loaded hugely. . . I was wondering why he was gaining weight, and now we all know the exclusive right here with Van. A deep and intensively great interview about not just showbiz.

First artist, whose videoclips I recorded on VHS. One of the first whose tapes I stoled from my older brother. Busta is one and only.

The dopest of all time...wonderful interview..

2 shills & their nonsense. Utter useless nonsense. He doesn't mean sht to anyone but y'all other shills🙄

Can't stand van jones. Why it is that when a self hating black man marries a white woman he over compensate by trying to be ultra black. You made your choice you can cheerlead but stay out the game

Waow

Wow. Just chills. I'm so glad I was able to take some time to truly experience this interview and digest what was taking place. This is a historical platform and brother Van you couldn't have been more appropriate a vessel to bring this to us. Thank you!

So grateful to have attended this class. This is more than an interview. Grateful for the wisdom passed over. Bless you Buss.

Definitely an iconic moment in interviews. I met Busta in '95 at Kings Plaza Mall. He's so down to earth, humble and sincere it's no wonder success is all around him.

I think LA Reid had Outkast "Runnin and Rhymin" just like Chuck D had Busta Rhymes. Seems to work ✌😎
