Busta Rhymes - Woo Ha!! Got You All in Check (LIVE)

Trevor Tahiem Smith, Jr., better known as Busta Rhymes (born May 20, 1972),[2] is a Grammy-nominated Jamaican-American rapper, songwriter, and actor. Chuck D of Public Enemy gave him the name Busta Rhymes (from former NFL wide receiver George "Buster" Rhymes).

"Woo Hah!! Got You All in Check" is Busta Rhymes' first solo single and was released in 1996 from his solo debut album The Coming. It peaked at #8 in the U.S. on April 20, 1996 and #2 in the UK. In the U.S., the song was released as a double A-side single with "Everything Remains Raw".

The song's instrumental contains a sample from "Space" by Galt MacDermot. The punch line for the song is a reference to Big Bank Hank's punch line in the 1981 Sugarhill Gang release "8th Wonder": "See it's up my back, it's around my neck / Woo-hah! Got them all in check."

Smith was born in East Flatbush, Brooklyn to Jamaican parents Cherry Green and Trevor Smith, Sr.[3][4][5]

Busta Rhymes openly said he embraced Islam when being interviewed.[6] Busta adds, I used that as inspiration to go into the studio all the time when I had a free moment. After work, during my lunch break, traveling back and forth to work to just apply myself creatively, and the opportunity finally came one day when I was downtown. At 17, Rhymes landed a six-figure record deal.

Smith's musical career began at the age of 17 as a member of the hip hop crew Leaders of the New School along with fellow Long Island natives Charlie Brown, Dinco D, and Cut Monitor Milo. They began recording in 1989 and released their debut album A Future Without a Past in 1991 on Elektra Records. In 1993, they released T.I.M.E. (The Inner Mind's Eye). Busta Rhymes' standout performance in A Tribe Called Quest's 'Scenario' propelled him into the cultural conscience. Soon after, however, internal problems arose because of Busta's increasing popularity, which created fierce jealousies, and the group broke up on the set of Yo! MTV Raps.

Smith broke out with a 1996 solo hit single, "Woo Hah!! Got You All in Check" from his platinum record album The Coming. His second album, When Disaster Strikes, released in 1997, produced the hit singles "Put Your Hands Where My Eyes Could See" and "Dangerous".
