06/09/08 - Busta Rhymes Album Delayed Until Samples Are ''Blessed''

BlackBauer · 06-09-2008, 05:08 PM

After a highly anticipated July 1st release date, Busta Rhymes faces sampling conflicts that will postpone his upcoming album, Blessed, to a possible mid to late August release.

Busta recently did an interview with Hot 97 radio personality Peter Rosenberg where he explained why the album has been delayed.

"We just pushed [the album] about six to eight weeks because we having a little issue with two samples that I'm about eight five percent away getting cleared," he said. "I don't wanna change the songs because it'll change the feel of the record."

Admitting that the changed release date is strictly due to the administrative process and wanting to keep the essence of the sampled songs, Busta also hinted at what is essential in any of his albums.

"You can't have a Busta Rhymes album without a J Dilla. Just in case y'all ain't familiar, every Busta Rhymes solo album has a J Dilla production on it," he confirmed. "From the first Busta Rhymes solo joint all the way to The Big Bang-every album has had a J Dilla track. We gonna continue that legacy," Busta promised.

As previously reported by SOHH, the Flipmode general will have a busy summer as he places the finishes touches on his eighth studio album and prepares to go on the "Projekt Revolution Tour" with LinkinPark next month.

I can't wait for the album, Big Bang was great but we all know that 2I couldn't get some samples cleared" is a code for "Jimmy pushed my shit back".

^^^^
And I've got two singles that aren't performing to my usual standard so Jimmy pushed me back far enough to allow me to drop a hit. I want to give him the benefit of the doubt because I'm a fan but that statement reeks of bullshit.

can't wait for the album...the push back honestly is probably somewhat related to the Unit's album since it is interscope

Don't Touch Me is crazy, he got Game, Nas, Big Daddy Kane, Lil' Wayne, Spliff Star, and Reek Da Villain on the remix of it and it's not pop! I actually like it more than the Linkin Park one, but both are good.
