Busta Rhymes - Why We Die feat. DMX & Jay-Z

[MizFromQueensNY]

Great verses by everyone and although busta rhymes was the least lyrical, his verse was by far the best. The shit that he says is just so awesome and real. This used to be one of my fav songs back in the day

[crazyhiho]

this beat is fire

[Harborx]

If Big was on this it'd be like a friggin high school reunion. Kinda hard to believe they all went to the same high school.

[chosendrawz]

Listen internet conspiracy theorists....

If the illuminati is real and they have the power to affect political policy, then why on earth would they waste time trying to "sneak" hidden messages and imagery in rap videos? How pointless would that be if they have the power to alter the law? That is why all this Jay-z illuminati talk is foolish. Why are people so brain-washed that they think the man made a deal with the devil just because he's successful? Y'all sound like some scared slaves

[chromestocksbeamin]

@chosendrawz First of all.. musicians aren't IN the Illuminati. They are puppets. They use symbols and imagery that are historically Satanic. You know those Satanists believe in magick and shit right? No disrespect dood but you should look into doing a little bit of homework. Learn who their owners are cutting these checks and pushing their music and how/why they are owners in the first place. Peace.

[chosendrawz]

@chromestocksbeamin I do a lot more homework in this regard than you might think. In the end you have to look at what a person does with the fame they acquire and the values that their lives represent. Jay Z is no angel, but he sets an example of the value of owning your own brand, giving huge amounts to charity, keeping a high business acumen as well as showing the beauty of marrying his long term wife and having a kid the right way, which is RARELY celebrated in modern pop culture.

[Crucifixiation]

@chosendrawz That is exactly what most of us are. We live day to day as though everything is normal, but shit is really fucked up right now. I don't know about all this 'Illuminati' stuff, it might be just another distraction in this culture of distractions. What I know is that we are easily influenced by media, and global trends can be hyjacked and become viral now. We need to wake up to these Influences and differentiate what is an original thought from what is a cultural meme...

[Crucifixiation]

@chosendrawz You have to realise as well, there is alot of selling out involved in the music industry to keep artists relevant and on the radio or TV, they have to appeal to as large a group as possible. Thinking isn't very popular these days, so what they produce is mostly devoid of substance. Anyways, sorry for the mini rant, just frustrated with humanity right now

[chosendrawz]

@Crucifixiation very well said. I have nothing but respect for people who can articulate their views without insulting. Cheers.

[crazyhiho]

@chosendrawz I think its all fucking retarded too. Conspiracy theorists are always like this. They think they make some big huge creative point, when in reality they missed the one little bit of common sense that debunks their whole theory to begin with.

Personally, I think conspiracy theories have done a wonderful job in creating this 'be scared of the government because they control everything', when in reality, the government can't even wipe up its own piss.

[techtellos95]

I wish the intro was longer beat is sick!

[ghariiscool]

Hov, X and Busta combined to make one of my all time favorite songs

[cjewelz]

Busta never had more bass in his voice than on this track!

[cjewelz]

Some of the producers killed it with the beats on this album. Like this one.  It's a shame there's a Gay(-Z) rapper on it, though his verse is nice.

[BigBearfromthe206]

The Illuminati isn't interested in Jay-Z. Especially considering he doesn't exist.

[mcneal78]

All three killed it. But of course, Busta's verse was the best followed by Jay and then X. When you're on a track like this, u never let another outshine you on your own album. An important rule in hip hop.

[MrJames2282]

@mcneal78 , sorry my nigga, but jayz has tha best verse on here, sorry!

[EricGoule81]

Jay-ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ­ZZZZZZZ!!!!!!!!!!!!

[xSpiderG]

Yeah! The real hip hop mother fucker!!

[MrJames2282]

Why people dont know bout this song like others.....these three on a track, smh...crazy! they kill this joint..jay-z verse to me, is tha best on this one!

[samfisher241293]

I don't always listen to Hip-Hop but when I do....it's awesome tracks like this one

[thebolshell]

I miss hip-hop!

[TheKillaBillz]

To dope

[TheKillaBillz]

[ericwill06]

[traydamus]

This is an official joint. Everybody came correct. Beat was hot, too.

[goodquality33]

[Harborx]

This woulda been better with BIG in it cuz all of them went 2 the same high school together...

[rohleks]

[ahmed12345678900]

its rare for DMX to spit first on a track but regardless, he still had the best verse on this.

[mcneal78]

All the verses were on point. Usually the one who goes last is the one who kills it! Busta did the damn thang here!

[TH89]

im in the illuminati

[celtics3536]

busta and jay are in the illuminati but thats why dmx was in this song so people would hear it and listen to his other songs

[Brooklyn1973volution]

[dirtyclean503]

@Nobleguitarist001

intro son

[scratchordie718]

I cant see how any of yall can say who ripped what man fuck that all 3 of these niccas ripped it

[cadillacdan90]

dmx had the best verse thats y he first on the track

[nikkidoom200]

the three of them should team up with Jada and nas and have the greatest Hip hop group Ever!

[tegaffer]

x and jay in there prime right here you decide

[TBmannetje]

i was ugly so i robbed.. no one loved me, shit was hard.... if i aint shit then why should i try... Dmx is a real real mothafucka people listenin to fucking lil wayne and shit.. shitt fuck yall

[TBmannetje]

when i listen to jay-z on This song.. i cant believe all that conspiracy-shit they talk about him ... 'did my dirt but got a good heart, shouldnt that count for something.. i was told i'd amount to nothing etc...' comon man that sound sincere.. i know he sucks now but u know

[calibred818]

@TBmannetje damn dogg ur trippin.. jays been dope and always will be... look up his grammy family freestyle on hot 97.. just look it up "grammy family freestyle" and look up the lyrics so all the shit he says doesnt fly above your head... jay is one of the smartest and most creative rappers on earth

[mcneal78]

@calibred818 U got that right! And anybody else that don't agree that Jay-Z isn't one of the Top 5 greatest rappers of all time needs to go out and purchase a copy of his book "Decoded." It's deep, meaningful, and he has a lot to say behind his rhymes. Some rhyme just to talk for air. Jay-Z puts a lot of thought into what he says and makes you think as well as rewind the track or put on repeat as if to make you say "Did he just say that?"

[AFCA09100]

@TBmannetje The conspiracy talk I dont believe it to, but he doesnt suck now.. he is still dope as fuck, just changed a little.. stil better then most of the shit out there.. especially in our country.. I mean Holland lol.

[BIGBOICHAIRMAN]

@AFCA09100 america to

[TBmannetje]

when i listen to jay-z on This song.. i cant believe all that conspiracy-shit they talk about him ... 'did my dirt but got a good heart, shouldnt that count for something.. i was told i'd amount to nothing etc...' comon man that sound sincere

[TCVB91]

[yournamehere954]

@TCVB91 He has good flow but no real meaning to his words like jayz and DMX.

[oranjeMEDIA]

i thought it was swizzy for shizzy, whois Killa Elektra (apparent producer on the track!), pure swizzy beat, this is a rip off and a damn good one! Why? Why , we die!!!?

[kenneyboo4]

[shadyni99a]

[stationnyne]

top five mc dead or alive busta---jay---dmx---nas---em

[trustedblaze]

great !

[badpat1986]

one of the most underestimated tracks... a real great one

[mcneal78]

@badpat1986 The No. 1 thing about all collabo tracks is that whoever's album it is, they gotta always go last. And the ones who go last are the ones who always kill it with the illest verse! This song is proof of that!

[mcneal78]

@badpat1986 It should've been released as a single! That's the bad thing about record labels. Sometimes they know what's good and other times they let gems like this fall by the wayside!

[JDTheMothafukkin0ne]

@badpat1986 This track isnt underestimated at all...

[malibu631]

@badpat1986 strongly agree!!!!!

[malibu631]

i did my dirt, but gotta good heart....shouldn't that count for something???....JAY Z....#REALSHIT!!!!!!
