Rich boy?

What? I’m second? Okay! Anyway, it’s THE GAME!!! No question.

Second!! I think it’s Ja Rule! He’s a real asshole!

why am i smelling dmx? it cant be him though, can it?
how bout rich boy or young jock?

chamillionaire.

Diddy

How can it be The Game or Diddy, both thier albums are gold and still on the charts.

Hell this could be alot of people.

i have a feel it’s “big bang bust” busta rhymes

Slick Rick ?

I agree with #9.. Busta

Kanye is a snobby muhfucka. Didn’t he lease a car a couple of years ago and never bothered to pay them? He definitely seems like the type that wouldn’t give an autograph. But the fighting part, doubt it, his bitch ass probably couldn’t land a solid blow.

Damn if I know.

Sounds like Busta Rhymes to me

Richboy, cause his album just came out and it was on top the first week then went down the next.

Busta Rhymes……

What about them G-unit losers???….YAYA sorry Yayo, Lyoid Banks
or them snap your fingers people…sorry been in school for too long cant name them… ummmh I will have to think about this one. OH yea MIms i guess he aint that hot after all

BUSTA.

Myra Panache? Is that right?
Of course it is Myra Panache!!!

Hope karma phucks him up.

You guys don’t read the clues.

1. A great buzz was generated before this rapper released his album…

NOT debut album.

2. Although the album had strong sales it’s first week, it fell off the charts within the next few weeks due to illegal downloading…

YES that could be almost anyone.

3. It seems as if he has an intense hatred for his fans, he’s been in numerous unreported altercations with fans who simply ask for his autograph. He or his bodyguard-either curse out fans, push them aside roughly or threaten them with their lives…

This is the BIG (BANG!) Clue.

Who else remembers the heavy push by Aftermath… all those gold chains… a fan being attacked for spitting on his car…

I will co-sign with Busta but he’s been around for a while now he cant possibly be that stupid. But does look like his breath stAAAANKS

NO it’s definitely Busta Rhymes..his album ‘The Big Bang’ sold like 256 K the first week and then only went gold. He snapped at the gay dude in Miami who asked for his autograph and at other fans. Plus he bought all that gold jewelry like them gold dookie ropes and stuff. It’s definitely Busta!

Of course, Busta!

I think it’s Young Joc. A lot of people who helped him coming up said that he doesn’t even talk to them anymore. Even Block from Block Ent said that. Plus, he had a lot of hype off that song “It’s Going Down” but I don’t think his CD did that well.

Busta Rhymes or Diddy…BUT…more than likely it’s Busta.

Damn you Myra. How you know?

I could be wrong cause that’s just stuff I heard around the streets but who knows. I hope it ain’t Busta cause he should’ve had money stacked up from his other albums.

It’s definitely Busta. He stay beating fans up.

Busta Rhymes.

I have a feeling its Busta, he is the only one smacking up his fans

I think it’s Young Joc. He was on the Wendy Williams Experience flaunting all his money and talking about the cars he has, but he didn’t invest his money wisely. His first single It’s Going Down did well, but his CD didn’t.

You guyz pls dont be stupid. I am seeing some people saying it is diddy, dmx, busta rhymes. Do you know how much these people have in their accounts from previous albums. They are millionaires so it is most likely not them. Think people, think.

Ok people common sense, how is it going to be Diddy? Hes worth over $200 million. Thats dumb. I would think Busta has money since he did have some successful albums and he did make a couple movies. He should have some money. I think it is a new rapper. Normally its the new rappers that put ever thing on credit. Maybe its Jim Jones.

Busta Rhymes, I know from seeing him act ignorant to fans after his concert.

Okay the clues distinctly say the rapper is in DEBT, and we all know DIDDY aint in debt with ANYBODY!!! DUH!

It’s definitely Busta Rhymes… he has gotten into issues with his management, police, and definitely his fans. The Big Bang debuted at #1 in the US when it came out last July, but has YET to reach either gold or platinum status, and he hasn’t been in a movie recently, either. It’s not even worth mentioning all the fans he has fought or argued with when they ask for autographs (he punched the dude in North Carolina because he said he was gay; he fought the dude on South Beach)… Bus-a-Bus ain’t lookin too wealthy nowadays.

It might be Papoose.

Ok common sense, it says he purchased numerous cars and bling. BUSTA ALREADY HAD ALL THAT STUFF. Didnt anyone see him on cribs?? That was from like 5 years ago. He already had cars and bling.

Chamillionaire, he did fall off.

Lil Flip?

jay-z

Leave Bus alone or somethings gonna pop off!!

I’m going by what the description says…and all the money in the world don’t mean ANYTHING if you don’t handle your buisness accordingly.

Young Joc has fans?

I kinda agree that it sounds like Busta.

According to Wikepia, Bustas album the bang sold 540,000+ in america and 2.2 million world wide. Check ya stuff first!!!

http://en.wikipedia.org/w.../The_Big_Bang_%28album%29

This has definitely got to be Busta Bus! Always bustin his fans up lol! His album was expected to be reallllllyyy BIG and did not do much of what was expected at all!

Busta!!! What This Iz Right Now!!!! {Singing}

I work at the label and I can assure you that its BUSTA RHYMES… This man is having the worse year of his life and is acting like everyone is to blame. He even smacked Spliff Star in front of a bunch of us and that’s suppose to be his best friend, confidant, and right hand man.

people only say diddy´s name in everything they read because they don’t like him, so he is the public enemy number one(1).

How does that old phrase go?

‘A bird in the hand…’

What a dumbass. Only an idiot would make large purchases before the damn money even hit his wallet. More proof that fame/money can’t buy common sense or a brain.

IT’S NOT DIDDY, YES, HIS ALBUM SALE ARE WEAK CUZ HE DIDNT SIGN ME. LOL. BUT HE DONT NEED NO ALBUM TO COVER HIS DEBT (HE DONT KNOW WHAT DEBT IS.) THE MAN IS ONE OF THE RICHEST MEN IN THE INDUSTRY. (AND MY FUTURE HUBBY.)
I WOULD HAVE TO SAY BUSTA, CUZ HE IS RUDE AS HELL.
PEOPLE NEED TO REMEMBER WHERE THEY CAME FROM.

BUT THE BEST ANSWER HAS TO BE MY BOY, FLAVA FLAAAV. CUZ THAT CD WAS A FLOP FROM WHAT I HEARD.

ALTHOUGH I CANT IMAGIN FLAV BEING NASTY TO PEEPS. HE IS VERY HUMBLE FROM WHAT IVE SEEN. AND I LIKE THAT ABOUT HIM. TRUTH.

I THOUGHT BUSTA - FIRST IMPRESSION.

#46.. Maybe you should check your facts..Wilkipedia isn’t exactly the most reliable source. Anyone can edit on that site..

Jay Z Money last three lifetimes, he just sold Roc a Wear for a couple hundred million dollars. He’s the prsident of DEF JAM!!!!!! How is he in debt???!?!!! DUH!

Its guns and butta, you dumb muthaf@ckas!!!

How in the hell is it going to be Diddy that man has a multimillion dollar empire. Do idiots think? Guess not that’s why they are called idiots.

Busta or Game

I’m quite sure that it isn’t Busta. Did any of you hear about the baby he had from a white girl in NC (Wilmington)? Well her and one of my friends hang out, and I have been around her a few times. Don’t care much for her, but that’s besides the point. But um I don’t see where her child support has changed. Chick is still riding and living B.I.G!
If he was that broke, I’m sure that would have changed as well.

I think it’s the Game or Kanye(who I cannot stand)

I agree with most…Busta Rhymes. He came to Memphis and performed at a club a few years back, and he was verrrrry rude to his fans. He showed no love.

And like 5XDATFINESSE said: “all the money in the world don’t mean ANYTHING if you don’t handle your buisness accordingly”

Busta, The Game or Joe Budden,

@42 sup deelishus.

DID LIL KIM DROP AN ALBUM LATELY? LOL.

I reckon it’s either Busta or Kanye.

Def has to be Busta…just cuz he had all that stuff on cribs doesnt mean its his, they rent things just for show. Besides just cuz he sold all those albums dont u guys know he has to split that with producers, and who knows who else,also who knows if he invested that money wisely. From the looks of things he prolly spent half of it on lawyers and getting himself outta trouble…if he keeps beating up his fans I highly doubt he’ll have any left.So ignorant!

P-diddy(Sean Combs)

#55, facts checked. According to billboard.com and his record label, wikipedia is correct. Thanks anyway though.

Hi Janelle,
Thats my name also by tha way. I made a comment on #59. But isn’t child support based on their income? Which is why Puffy is paying 32g’s a month, Jeezy 20g’s, Ron Artest 30g’s and etc.
If they money not stacked up, would they reduce their child support like they do non celebs? Because like I mentioned Busta’s baby mama is still paid out tha ass.

BUSTA, WHAT IT IS RIGHT NOW!!!

@ #49, please say it ain’t so. Now I am starting to dislike him. He is one ungrateful mofo!

Its really no point in trying to guess anyway. It could be 99.9% of the rappers out right now. Most of them are in debt because they put everything on credit before they make any money. And everyone knows it takes a while before you actually make any money in the music business anyway. And most of them act like their shit dont stank.

LMAO histarically @ 26!!!!

Immma go wit yal on dis one and say Busta

Diddy is NOT in DEBT @ssholes, he beat out Jay for Richest Person in Hip Hop, Myra Panache did the research and she’s the one who posted this item. So it is NOT Jay or Diddy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It says so right here!!!! Please take a second to read, please!!!!!

I GOT I GOT IT!

**************LIL FLIPPER*****************

In tribute news:

Today is the fifth anniversery of the death of Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes of the phenom group, TLC. RIP.

I think 50 cent or Busta……but after reading #20 i have to agree with Busta

I DONT EVN WANNA GUESS…I WANNA SAY YOUNG BUCK 4 DA HELL OF IT

the rapper is wack Myra Panache or Mims or Ja Rule, and it’s not Busta she said unreported, well maybe it’s still Myra’s washed up dirty ass

This already sounds like a last blind item.Damn Myra whoever you are get a life.Damn.

I’m not gone guess LOL.

The Game. He is always dissing his fans. His album was hot for the first couple of weeks. Now you don’t hear anything else about. Cause he too busy trying to pick on a girl.

Busta!

JOE BUDDEN JOE BUDDEN JOE BUDDEN JOE BUDDEN JOE BUDDEN

JOE BUDDEN JOE BUDDEN JOE BUDDEN JOE BUDDEN JOE BUDDEN

JOE BUDDEN JOE BUDDEN JOE BUDDEN JOE BUDDEN JOE BUDDEN

Butsa,bust!!

Dayum Tanishia! We heard you the first time. LOL

I’ve met joe budden, and kanye…they were both really nice. So I think it’s Busta.
Diddy like the spotlight on him so I doubt that he would hate his fans or harm him in anyway…he loves when someone ask for an autograph.

I think it’s Busta Rhymes.

BUSTA IS BUSTED.

Slim Thug
He was so hyped b4 he came out and now……
Well?

by the way who is #20 talking about?

Dare I say it? Nas!….Wait no….Busta!!….No No….Fabolous??!!!!…..T.I.??!!…Young Joc??…Big Bird??…IDK IM LOST

Mike Jones

Wycleff?

kind.

It might be Jim Jones, smelling like a dirty blanket…

#92, I might have to agree with you. He was hot for like 2 minutes! Mike Jones!! Who?? Mike Jones!!!

The only rapper I’ve always heard about having problems with his fans has been Busta. Damn, I would have thought he had some money saved up from his previous albums.

The Game

Ummm, while Busta Bust seems like the most popular choice .. Ima hafta go wit LUPE FIASCO.. think about it yall he has been in numerous reports of talkin crazy 2 the very ppl that have helped him get to where he iz 2day … his album food and liq had SO much buzz but he LOST so much bread due to all of the illegal d.l. Busta has been in the game for YEARS so there ain no reason for him to be coppin ish on credit THINK ABOUT IT

Tyrese (Black Ty)

Actually Fancy, you may be right! Lupe Fiasco came to my college to perform in December. Not only did he arrive 2 hours late to the performance, but it was wack and he was rude to people. I wasn’t there but this is what my friends tell me. Then, at the after party, he had a nasty attitude, refused to sign stuff, and looked hella grumpy in all his pictures.

The only thing is I haven’t heard of him having altercations with fans in the past. I don’t know.

Naw…. You all got it all wrong…..Its that chain hang low kid….Ah, whats his name………Jibbs

My guess is The Game or Busta Rhymes…both of their albums had all this hype, seemed promising and then fell off.

THIS COULD LITERALLY BE ANYBODY!!!

I’D GO WITH:
RICH BOY
YOUNG JOC
G-UNIT/ YAYO? (only 50 is getting paid off that joint)
GAME
YOUR NEXT DOOR NEIGHBOR TRYIN TO MAKE IT IN THE “INDUSTRY”

COULD BE ANYONE!

HATE TO SAY IT BUT:
BUSTA RHYMES HAS A THING FOR BEATING UP FANS, HAD ALL THEM NY JETS AND DOOKIE ROPES TO PROMOTE HIS ALBUM, THAT DIDNT EVEN DO WELL. BUT I HOPED HE’S STACKED HIS $ AND THIS AINT HIM.

Cam’ron

Joe Budden, hands down!!! Hahahaha…this one was easy. He is not a very nice guy.

some of you need to READ!!!! DAMN… your suggestions to these BLIND ITEMS are way in left field

This is easy.

It’s Busta Rhymes.

Everyone was anticipating his release on Aftermath and that shit FLOPPED. He even went on his press tour touting his gaudy new necklaces, etc.

co-sign with Tanisha (two great minds think alike)

JOE BUDDEN JOE BUDDEN JOE BUDDEN JOE BUDDEN JOE BUDDEN

MATTER OF FACT…LAST TIME HE WAS IN MARYLAND, ONE OF HIS BOYS TOOK HIM OUT TO DINNER..NOT CUZ THEY WERE TREATING..BUT BECAUSE JOE WAS BROKE

Lol @ #44 & #63…Anyway, Busta is the first one that came to mind…

#64. good guess but u can read bout “him” there not “her”
lol

RICH BOY

WHOEVER SAID “BUSTA RHYMES” IS JUST PLAIN IG-NANT—Busta has good cash flow…and he still gets royalties from those Tribe albums..and let’s not even front on Anarchy….ok…and the movies. I can’t stand Busta’s personality..but he is incredibly talented..so don’t hate

You know I think it might be MIKE JONES who MIKE JONES!

Also, Lupe Fiasco does not wear “bling”..and he is mad cool…so it’s not him.

One more thing I need to put out there: Back in 2003, everyone was coppin Joe Budden’s single (was it called the Jumpoff???) off Napster, Morpheus, Ares—who bought it???? As a matter of fact..I didn’t even know Budden had an album out back then..but then I found out six month later when I was in Best Buy. I don’t think anyone bought that shit.

I have a hard time downloading Busta’s singles on those P2P engines…his songs are not leaked like that…but for the mose part..Busta’s fans are loyal..and they DO buy his albums. The answer is Joe Budden.

Busta-what it is right now. Does he have a chain with like sports teams? maybe deelishus can give him some money

Wow. Regardless, Busta has more money in the bank than I do. I hope he is able to pay off his debt and interest with the next album. Having financial difficulties is a bitch especially when you trying to compete with other rich rappers.

On a bad note, his jewelry is tacky and ugly. Who walks around with a big ass NY logo (in blue of course) or Apple (love the rubbies - I hope they are real) hanging from their neck. He looks like a prized slave being exhibited by the master…….just silly. He could have at least spend his money on fly jewelry.

@ #94 ROTFLMBAO!!!!!!

I’m sayin Lil Flip.
It’s definitely not Busta or Diddy or anyone like that. They been in the game too long. They certainly got dough.

GOTTA BE BUSTA HE IS AN ARROGANT ASSHOLE I HEARD!

its busta rhymes cuz his album didnt go no where after the 3rd week. and i read an article about him being downloaded alot. and i kno damn well he dont lik his fans, didnt he punch a fan or sum shit? well i think its him

First of all, album sales are in a steady decline. In particular hip-hop album sales are the worst it has ever seen, but do not be too quick to blame low album sales on unauthorized downloading.

This “blind item” could be anyone.

I can’t believe people are still saying Busta..when I told yall asses it was Joe Budden. It must be some hard-headed 15-year-old high schoolers on this site..go back to class!!! I stopped visiting Concrete Loop for a while after I found out my 15 year old sister knows about it..I’ll be 26 next week. Besides, I’m tired of the Active X controls, the slow loading, and the pop-up ads..what’s the deal, Angel??

I thought it was Lupe Fiasco, he kinda seems like the type.

Busta….

It’s Busta. Even before Cribs, he was bouncing child support checks. And just because you saw it on Cribs don’t mean it was paid for. Negro never should left L.O.N.S. Y’all pray for him. He’s going thru a lot right now.

So easy this one …. Busta !!!!!
that’s real good for his ASS… you can’t put bad shit out in the world and expect your life to be easy.

Its diddy i just heard it on the radio.

i was thinkin busta too

I think its a new artist bcuz thats the only ones going crazy with bling and all the other ish the other artist are already used to. Im gonna take a wild guess, ummmm— Rich boy.

Stop saying its Diddy, Jay Z, or even 50 Cent and his crew(If 50 is rich, so is his crew.)…

Busta Rhymes i seriously doubt…
Who did he assault?
He assaulted someone who spit on his car.(I wouldnt consider that a fan)
He assaulted his former driver.(Thats a paid worker, not to be considered a fan)
…as for his album…this can be said about any rapper cause illegal downloading is major heavy right now. This still was his first #1 chart album and still 2.2mil sold worldwide.

My guess…
…would probably be a southern rapper since that region did get heavy rotation in 2006 but he…wtf do i know.

I wish Myra would friggin answer these things…cause these blind item occurances are happening too often and none get resolved.

omg did you see busta’s mets, yankee, jets, buffalo, and knicks bling… UMM HMM IM ON TO SOMETHING

It’s mos’ def’ Busta Rhymes. can’t stand his new music.

Hmm #121 Bmoreserious

Aint you a lil TOO old for forums

LOL @ the comment above

YOU STUPID!!!!!!!!!!

It’s definitely not Kanye,Diddy,Jay-z or even Busta.
These dudes are paid.

I honestly think the answer is BUSTA RHYMES. I remember hearing last year that he had got into a serious altercation with a fan who wanted his autograph. Do y’all remember that story? It was all over the internet sometime last year. This altercation happened a little bit after his last album “Big Bang Theory” dropped.

I remember when I first heard about that story…I kept saying to myself “Why wouldn’t this fool want to give one of his “fans” an autograph”? Your fans are what make you who you are. And Busta is not selling albums the way that he used to in the late 90s. His sales have really fallen off. He’s beginning to turn into a washed-up rapper. We’ll be seeing him on “The Surreal Life” soon.

And for those of you saying the answer is Diddy and The Game…are you crazy??? Both of Game’s albums have sold big…especially his first one…Game has stacks of money. Diddy’s albums aren’t selling big like that anymore, but Diddy is definitely NOT in debt at all. That man shits $20 bills out of his ass.

i really think its game i mean i love him but he put too much money on diamonds and i dont understand why his last album didnt does well

MIMS!

I think it’s Lupe Fiasco!

Can we know who dis mysterious ass rapper is????

it’s not busta his album been came out and it is really sitting at 2.2. million and he is making money out the ass on his shows i checked up on it..it has to be somebody that came out not to long ago busta is rich and aftermath royalties for selling a million world wide wouln’t let him beecome broke so stop with busta..it’s a down south rapper not busta again his album been out and went plat a long time ago..damn ppl think..maybe rich boy or young joc even chaion hang low guy

Well…looks like i was wrong to not assume Busta cause hes 1 of the 2 candidates in reference here…

I actually took some time to read her reports and look what i stumbled upon…

“Downloading has destroyed big album sales. The sales record for Michael Jackson’s “Thriller,” will never be broken because of illegal downloads. The artist will make even less in sales therefore they have to heavily rely on tours for income unless they sabotage their careers like Snoop and Busta. Big U.S. promoters are reluctant to book rap acts because of the threat of violence and since record sales are way down, how can a rap artist make a decent living if their records don’t sale and they can’t tour? The overseas market is the most logical answer but when you and your crew (Snoop) have a brawl in a European airport you will be declined entry for future gigs and that’s what happened to Snoop. He literally threw away hundreds of thousands in income. It was reported last year, allegedly Busta Rhymes had a falling out with European promoters and allegedly, they are not interested in booking him, ever again. Why bite the hand that feeds you? Some of these rap artists need to let go of that thug mentality and violent behavior because they’re sabotaging themselves from future income.”

i personally think its eminem..what yall think

Damn Im glad im not a Busta fan how the hell he gonna beat up on the mofos who help support his Euerekas Castle looking ass?!, just rude.

By the looks of the things im going with everybody else and say Busta

lmao@26 Busta is that really you? Don’t E-slap me pleaseee baby

Busta Rhymes. He has been acting like a serious DICK lately. His first single Touch It was a big hit… genereated hype for his album but he failed to secure a legitimate second hit single. He is also known for his bad relations with fans, to the point where people want him dead. That is why his bodyguard got shot and killed trying to protect Busta. Also, his homophobic verbal assault against a once loyal gay fan further proves that he is a snob. I also hear that he isn’t the best father to his growing tribe of children. Plus, none of his albums have done considerably well since “When Disaster Strikes” so I know he owes somebody money because his albums aren’t recouping. He has had hits on OTHER ARTIST’S SONGS doing the remix thing, but there isn’t a alot of money in that. In conclusion, Busta Rhymes is a jackass and I can’t wait until he files for bankruptcy.

I know damn well yal not saying Diddy,noweven tho most of the clues match his persona, this man AINT NO WHERE NEAR BEING BROKE OR IN DEBT!

Busta just seems so cool om TV of course, but i think its him

Look, people. It’s Busta. Just because his last CD sold 2.2 million doesn’t mean he’s paid. Dude was waaaay in the hole with bills from waaaaaaay back. Trust me, I got the inside scoop on his financial and legal affairs. After his take off that last CD, he MIGHT be back at break-even.

busta rhymes. that’s the first cat that popped into my head…

Busta Rhymes! Because I remember his last album had a huge buzz before it came out. The “Touch it” song had like 3 different remixes, and it was one of his biggest hits! Then remember the incident were Busta was getting sued because a fan wanted an autograph and his Bodyguards kicked his ass? Then yall seen all that jewlery that fool had? He was rocking hella ice. It’s BUSTA RHYMES!

I think it’s Busta too cause one year at the Source Awards everyone but him was cool you couldn’t even get close to him because of his bodyguard.

Eminem? I heard something about people downloading his music before it came out. Newayz its a blind item. Everyone’s answer makes sense!

Busta! What is right now!

I think it’s Busta Rhymes, cause the last album kept getting pushed back and when it finally was release it did big the first week, but fell off plus look at all the tension that has happen around him……..either it’s Busta Rhymes or Rich boy, Rick Ross, The Game…..it’s not Diddy, I’m hoping he got the money to pay off jewelers and creditors, unless them child support payments are too much~

Lloyd Banks flopped.

Just because Busta has past successful albums doesn’t mean he’s a millionaire. Toni Braxton was extremely successful but owed millions to her label and got broke. TLC same thing. Busta Rhymes is NOT rich, that’s him. Stop believing MTV CRIBS those things are nothing but illusion, people TELEVISION IS NOT REALITY. Busta Rhymes assaults his fans, he’s a diva, not to say a b*tch. That’s HIM!

ummm Gucci Mane hell i dont kno….shit it could be any1 of them fools

Busta Rhymes

Why: His album had a lot of buzz off of his singles and sold well at first.

He’s known for getting rowdy with fans and threatening people.

Busta’s accounts? Have you ever heard of a bad contract? He signed in a time when rappers were paid pennies and he never saw much of a return from his Flip Mode ventures.

To those saying Kanye: When have you ever heard of Kanye attacking fans physically?

Diddy: He’s doing ok. Yes he’s attacked fans but he doesn’t have money problems.

Some of these guesses are very illogical, let’s keep in mind Diddy is the owner of a multi-million dollar company, Sean John. I don’t like the guy, but let’s think…

Kanye? Lupe Fiasco?

lol its BOOSIE….. na jus playin gotta b BUSTA

I agree with everyone
BUSTA
I read on a couple blogs he is Rude and will attack
Thats what these dumb ass rappers get. They spend too much money and not enough investing
I don’t feel sorry for him or any broke rapper

You know it is busta crazy ass. He is the only rapper we have recently heard about getting into fight with fans, police, etc……. Another thing the blind item said that he is in debt, not broke. Most people are in debt anyway whether it is credit cards or a house. So who cares karma is a bitch!

are you people out of youre minds! how in the hell could it be diddy… you guys fail to realize how busniess savvy that he is. i know a lot people hate him but damn admit it, he is RICH.

IM GONNA HAVE TO SAY CHAMILLIONAIRE I REALLY LIKE HIM BUT HE FELL OFF, BUT I NEVER HEARD ANYTHING ABOUT HIM GETTING BRAND NEW WITH HIS FANS SO THAT THROWS ME FOR A LOOP BUT EVERYTHING ELSE SPELLS THAT ITS HIM.

How can yall say Diddy he has like over 300 million dollars to his name. I think it’s Busta. But this could also be Game. But definitly not Diddy he is the riches rapper if you could call him that, then Jigga is right behind him.

Busta Rhymes, was on trial for kicking a fan and beating up a former chauffeur, rejected a deal that would land him in jail for a cred-building six months. The alternative: probation, anger management, and two weeks of lecturing kids about violence–Source New York Daily News

I hope is busta , can’t stand him .

I hope is busta , can’t stand him .

i see so many posts sayin its BUSTA, im just wonderin how ya know if he did or didn’t invest his money well?

I say BUSTA RHYMES . He came to mind as soon as I read the blind item. I dont care what anyone saw On MTV cribs, because as several other people mentioned , that is often an illusion. Many of these entertainers are d*amn near broke.You have to realize that when someone signs to a label, the label often gives that person an advance , which can be in the form of cash , cars, houses,etc . That is NOT a gift contrary to belief lol .It is given to the srtist on the basis or rather assumption that they will be able to recoup that money when the artist starts to sell records. When the artist finally releases their album the record company takes back what they advnaced to the artist off the top. Therefore if you are not selling many records than when the label takes back what they ,along with other people who worked with the artist are owed, there will be very little left for the artist! If the album really does poorly than the label may not even be able to recoup all that they are owed. Sometimes jewelry companies and car dealerships will give you things on the basis that they will get paid . If you are an artist that they are familiar with ,than this may make them feel more comfortable leasing. They think taht tehy will get paid back, because of who you are and what you do:)

BUSTA has been known to have more than a few altercations with fans. He has also been said on numerous occassions to have a nasty attitude. He has not done really well with his last album, atleast not as well as anticipated considering all the hype that lead up to its release.
All of you stating that HE cant be broke because of past record sells(LOL ) ya wrong.Unless your a legendary artist with fans who are loyal to you over the years, ya only as hot as ya last record.Many artist are a song away from being a washed up has been. Many of these artist dont budget and invest their money wisely.They live for the moment,and act like the “good times’ will never come to an end. They spend money like crazy ,half the time on stupid shyt ( like big ugly gaudy jewelry), and grills(gold ,diamond,platinum teeth, designer gear.That shyt is cool in moderation if its your personal lol,but those are things that depreciate( have less value over time) and they dont appreciate and work to your advantage like good investment(stock portfolio, businesses,etc)SO YES I THINK ITS BUSTA! He has kids and child support to pay.If hes even paying that could put a nice dent in his cash flow(the price ya pay for sleeping around with groupies ) They may get their money off the top right after the record label,producers,song writers, security team, etc etc.It doesnt matter how much ya makef you dont save, budget,invest wisely,and spend wisely you still wont have shyt!

i say rich boy

I think it is Jim Jones, Im surprised no one said that. He was “ballin” before he was making money, I heard of different altercations with him and fans..I say Jim Jones. Where is his album?? Was it a single cuz nothing else was bangin like that!

it can’t be Dddy, he shows lots of love to his fans through myspace and youtube and stuff.

Lupe Fiasco does seem like a good choice, but I though he was some backpacker, skater dude…never senn him with any jewelry or big cars, but that could have all been an act.

I think it’s Busta Rhymes, his son’s mother was on Wendy Williams a couple years ago and said he was very abusive, and that he doesnt even own a house and wasted all his money on cars and other assorted rap lifestyle bullshit.

Whoever it is I’m laughing at they ass. Just cause your album didn’t sell that well doesn’t give you the right to take your anger out on the fans who did waste their money purchasing your album. Why would you spend money that you do’t have before you get it. He put himself in that position. He needs to think before he acts.

busta beating up folks. that really makes me laugh. ha ha. trying to be a thug. that is also hella funny. i remember when his ass was saying”it’s just another case of tha old p.t.a.” oh please. he was a member of leaders of the new school how can they be all of a sudden thugged out.?? he needs to stop being fake and be himself.even tupac (R.I.P.) peeped that.tupac knew he was fake. looking like that busta needs to be nice to people. but as they say “you meet the same people climbing up the ladder and the same people when you go down the ladder.

Ummm…busta if bootyholes can talk!!!

Busta as soon as i read it..so sad he use to live in Brooklyn in the late 90s when he was hot..he was a very cool nice guy..so I hope its not him but so much news about him as been nothing but negative

EVERYONE!!!!!!!!! If u look at comment #49 the person commenting works at Busta’s Label and he is confirming that he’s doin bad…. its Busta, relax and take notes…

20., I agree with you there was a lot of buzz about the Big Bang but it ended up being weak as hell. It also could be the Game.

I CANT BELIEVE HOW IGNORANT PEOPLE ARE!

YOU DONT READ THE CLUES AND GUESS STUPIDLY. THERE ARE SO MANY RAPPERS OUT NOW WHO ARE GOING TO BE OR ARE 1 HIT WONDERS….YET PEOPLE ARE GUESSING PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN IN THE GAME FOR YEARS WITH MILLIONS!

WHY ARE YOU GUESSING PEOPLE WITH PLATINUM ALBUMS?

Busta Rhymes Sued By Fan Over Alleged Assault
By Nolan Strong
Date: 3/1/2006 10:00 pm

Busta Rhymes has been sued for assault in Manhattan Supreme Court by a man who claims the rapper and his bodyguard assaulted him for no reason.

Melvin Smith, 37, claims Busta Rhymes and co-defendant Troy Green assaulted him without reason.

Smith’s lawyer Bruce Regenstreich said his client sought an autograph from rhymes in a sandwich shop near City Hall in Manhattan.

“Melvin went in to get an autograph and got a knuckle sandwich instead,” Regenstreich said.

Smith, who is a handyman, said he required four stitches to close a cut over his eye.

He also said he has not been able to work because of back and neck injuries he sustained as a result of the alleged assault.

Smith is seeking an unspecified amount in damages from Busta Rhymes.

In May of 2003, Busta Rhymes was charged with misdemeanor assault and battery charges, after an altercation with a fan in Dec. 2002 at Jake’s Twin Saloons in Fall River, Massachusetts.

In that incident, a woman claimed Rhymes shoved her against the table, grabbed her by her hair and threatened to kill her, after she touched his face.

The woman was also charged with misdemeanor assault and battery charges after she admitted to touching Rhymes during the incident as well.

Busta Rhymes denied the allegations and stated he simply grabbed the woman by the hand and told her “please make sure you don’t touch me again.”

Rhymes was eventually cleared of the assault and battery charges.

The lawsuit comes as New York Police Department detectives seek to questions Rhymes about the Feb. 5 murder of his bodyguard, Israel Ramirez.

Police believe an argument between G-Unit rapper Tony Yayo and Ruff Ryders producer Swizz Beatz sparked the deadly shooting.

Police have threatened to subpoena Rhymes in order to question him about his knowledge of the shooting, which took place on a celebrity filled video set in Brooklyn.

I got it, it’s TONY YAYO! He seems like he would act a fool & be irresponsible. Doesn’t he still live with his mama in Queens?

“Busta what it is right now” lol

This is NOT Lupe Fiasco. He doesn’t have enough money to spend it on casinos and jewelers, not even the advance money. Lupe would never be found in a casino because he’s a muslim and lives the righteous life as much as possible. Lupe does NOT have bodyguards because he’s not popular, and he doesn’t assault his fans, he’s non-violent.

This is Busta Rhymes.

>>>>>> Because they can be broke. Rakim is not rich, DMX is BROKE, Busta is stuggling, Fat Joe is struggling, Lil Kim YES HER she’s struggling, Toni Braxton been in the R&B game for a long time and on top and she’s broke. Longevity doesn’t garantee wealth. MOST of these artists are not millionaires, and certainly NOT Busta Rhymes. How many Jay-Z’s are there financially speaking? When Busta was at his peak, he had signed a bad deal, not to mention hiphop wasn’t as popular and didn’t generate as much money as today, so neither he nor Flip Mode Squad made money. He’s still paying for debts of past deals. Mary J Blige spent NINE years paying them back and is only breathing now.

Your wasting our time with these blind items.

that’s busta……..just seeing him on, what was it cribs? He’s stupid enuff to blow $$$$ before it hits his account. sides, all those altercations bespeaks a big stupid head or just plain ole arrogance!

Did you people not listen to Left Eye on Behind the Music? TLC got paid $.03 for every record sold and had to pay for studio time, videos, security, producers, etc., etc. Unless you are a song writer, you do not get paid that much. If Busta did sell 2.2 millon, he might have gotten paid $250,000 for the album. And I’m sure he has legal expenses up the butthole. With that said - BUSTA!

Vanilla Ice?

Chante you are so right. MOST rappers and artists are in serious debt. It’s the way the game is played - only those fortunate to parlay their rap skills into real independent business deals are living comfortable.

People get confused because they SEE bling, and big cars and houses, but rarely do those artists OWN any of that -

On the Forbes list only Jay-Z, Diddy and 50 Cent have been listed in the past few years and their wealth is from their clothing lines, other busines ventures and endorsements and their OWNERSHIP in the music industry.

Even before the illegal downloading, artists were only making ‘pennies” per CD sale in most cases. And every video and promo $$$ is paid out of the artist take, so even when they are successful, they are only making $$$ for the label. Now with downloading eating their sales, some of these artist will have to take a second job to pay the labels back.

Damn Shame.

I don’t know who it iS but i do know who it’s NOT and that’s DIDDY!!! The ppl who think it is are dillusional, that man is a m illionaire, loaded from lots more venue and businesses than music (clothing line, studios, producing rights, some rights to Biggie records, etc). He could give Bad Boy away and still have millions. IT IS NOT DIDDY!

First!

Is the the rapper Dredre… Hmm sounds like something I would be in. Kfed!!!!!

@94 LOL!!! Jim Jones smelling like a dirty blanket!! LOLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!

WTF, Now where in the hell do some of yall get off saying its Diddy? Where did that conclusion come from, come on now, he’s got “his label”, “a number of very talented artis who he makes money off of”, “his clothing line”, “his resturant”, “doing remixes”, “doing commercials”, and the list dosn’t even end there. Now his cd may have been a hot mess but F.Y.I, he is a SMART business man who knows how to make money and invest. Now BUSTA, I can’t speak for him, he tried to make a comeback and I’m not sure how his album sales were but ppl all that money he made back in the day, he could have been stpid w/ it and splurged it all. So lets do our research cuz there many possibiltes, but all in all it aint Diddy. (And I aint even jus a big fan of his snobby ass).

it might be busta…i cant believe people said chamillionaire..hes one of the most humble rappers ive seen

BUSTA LOST THE REST OF HIS MIND WHEN HE LOST HIS DREADS! HE’S A CRAZY BALDHEAD! LOL

R.I.P. Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes: 5 Years Later

come on all, a legend died. Let’s respect her memory and not worry about this stupid blind item.

BUSTA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

U guys its OBVIOUS….its LUPE FIASCO!!! Remember??? He had a lot of buzz for his new album and da single “kick push” was really hot! He was gettin a lot of great reviews and respect from da industry but his album didnt do as well as expected becuz all of da tracks were leaked to da net right be4 da album was released…Trust me, Its LUPE FIASCO

Slim Thuggga much?

So easy…probably the easiest one ever….Busta.

I think Busta; just because I heard him say in an interview he had nothing before he joined Aftermath. Busta stated Dre gave him a million to sigh and that was back in 03/04 that money is gone by now. Plus he has been beaten fans lately and his album did fall off.

Tony Yayo. He lives in casinos.

I think its MIKE JONES!!

HELLOOOOOOOOOOOOOO PEOPLE!!!! ITS OVER!! WE HAVE ENOUGH PROOF……….

THE ANSWER IS BUSTA! BUSTA! BUSTA! BUSTA!
BUSTA! BUSTA! BUSTA! BUSTA! BUSTA! BUSTA!

I’m thinking Chingy..

my first thought when i read this was Busta Rhymes.. sooo that’s my guess

my guess is Busta because it is reported that he gets heated with people.. case in point the guy he said supposedly spit on his car… well the guy stated that he just wanted an autograph.. a lot of people contribute it to steroids… “roid rage”

I have no clue who the rapper in question is, I just wanted to say #208 Mezzo.Soprano, that baby on your avi is just too cute!!!

I agree w/ # 2 ..The Game

That was too easy..Busta, The Big Bang..

WHO GIVES A FUCK THAT ITS NOT DIDDY, FUCK THE BI HOE, ITS BUSTA’S INSANE ASS. i SAW HIM IN A LOCAL STORE IN TRIBECA, HE IS A TOTAL NUT CASE.

It’s Busta Rhymes people!!!!!!!!

Busta or Game… stay connected on exclusive west coast music & videos visit:

http://get-a-bar.blogspot.com

You know, I suspect this shit is 100% made up.

I think its 50 Cent, I know he had a lot of buzz with his album and he is always in trouble for assualting fans at concerts so it makes sense to me.

According to Interscope records.. busta did promo shows at a discounted price.. and Did 0ver 25 shows in The U.S. @ over 50k a show.. can we add that up please? Radio spins for Touch It and other Busta songs netted him over 700k.. I havent checked overseas revenue.. but lets just say unless you are a complete and udderly fuck up.. When you make approx 2 million not incl record sales.. and other promotional items.. You’re not really starving.. I could go into further detail on how the industry works.. but its too much to explain.

Like I stated previously.. The rapper lives in the South East part of the country.

Bock entertainment ain’t shizzzzzzzzzzzzzz who would want to get with that aggorant nigro.

Come on ya’ll lets be real and look at the clues before you post a comment. The answers has got to be someone who is new to the rap game and just drop their fist cd. So that would not include Busta, Dmx, Diddy or any other stupid answers. If ypo think about yea it does sound like Busta w/ all the fights he’s been getting into, but his cd The Big Bang did well and even if it didnt do u really think he would be broke and in debt? Look how long he been in the game and making money….come ppl THINK! And # 41 you ought to be smacked for saying Jay Z!

It’s definitely Busta. He’s a snobby, cocky and arrogant person.

This is the one blind item where we’ve reached a consensus and the second one I knew to be true. (The first was Faith Evans.) I too, work in the business and anyone who has worked with him, or been around him will tell you it’s BUSTA, BUSTA, BUSTA. He’s been cool to me but I’ve seen it with my own two eyes. A platinum record does not mean you’re rich, unless you write songs that can be rerecorded by others (which hip-hop doesn’t have as much.) Karma is a motherfucker and his came around.

i said busta first

PAPOOSE…Only cuz I remember all the talk about him getting crazy money then nothing

MIKE JONES

Some of ya’ll need READING COMPREHENSION BAD.

HOW THE HELL WOULD IT BE LUPE-THIS PERSON HAD STRONG FIRST WEEK SALES AND LUPE DID NOT HAVE STRONG FIRST WEEK SALES AT ALL> AND HE”S NOT FLASHY

HOW THE HELL IS IT KANYE BOTH OF HIS ALBUMS DID DOUBLE PLATINUM AND HE”S A PRODUCER ALSO AND WAS A PRODUCER BEFORE A RAPPER> READ AND THINK.

It’s not Busta Rhymes, His Album went Platinum, at least the one that was released 2006, he hasn’t released next album yet. Must be Rich Boy, he is new, I’m not sure how well he’s doing..

I agree wit a few peeps above. Its has to be Bustah. (WHY New York WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!)

Some of ya’ll need READING COMPREHENSION BAD.

HOW THE HELL WOULD IT BE LUPE-THIS PERSON HAD STRONG FIRST WEEK SALES AND LUPE DID NOT HAVE STRONG FIRST WEEK SALES AT ALL> AND HE”S NOT FLASHY

>>>>> Exactly. And like I said, he’s a muslim so he doesn’t go to casinos, and he’s definitely not flashy.

Touch it..bring it babe.. watch it…turn it.. leave it.. stop-for-matic…”Get low Bust.”

Bust is doing good..What are yall talking about? He is far from starving. Yall betta check out one of them rookies that got a peter-to-pay-paul contract. Bust is chillin!!!

Jim Jones??

hmm this is a hard one..

twista ? maybee idk

It sounds like Busta ~ beating up fans because the didn’t buy more albums. But the question I have is why was there an altercation with a woman touching his face? Guys usually don’t mind unless 1. Girl look ‘crackish’ or 2. dude is on the DL. I agree with Chante, the record company gets pie the artists gets the crumbs. And unfortunately, most artist don’t think about investing or even asking a Suze Orman(sp?) on how to set up for the future once this music thing die out.

IF IT WAS “RICH BOY”, SURELY THE BLIND ITEM WOULD HAVE “SOMETHING” IN IT ABOUT RICH….DON’T YOU THINK $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Umm sorry everyone it isn’t Busta.. “Numerous unreported altercations” not “numerous reported” and you fake industry insiders shouldnt lie. Busta’s last deal @ J Records was only bad on the promotion end.. NOT monies received end. Oh and by the way he got paid when Papoose signed and made approx. 4.5 million dollars from shows, promo, spins, endorsements and marketing with this last album. Not including Sales. Busta’s album was only disappointing on Busta standards Last 2 albums combined for over 15 million worldwide. Understand the business before you try to claim things you think is true.

I know the blind item claims this rapper is a he but this sounds like Foxx Boogie to me.

its young jeezy

Sounds like the “Buster” to me

Wendy Williams just read this blind item on her show according to her it’s Busta…She’s usually right about these blind items

i guess the answer seems pretty clear. people should know so they don’t support this fool.

no respect for your fans? they helped get you where you are!

IT COULD BE BUSTA. I ACTUALLY SAW HIM AT A SHOPPING MALL IN ATL A FEW YEARS BACK, AND HE WAS NONE TO HAPPY TO SPEAK, BUT HE SPOKE AND TURNED NICE IN AN INSTANT WHEN HE REALIZED I WASN’T SOME GROUPIE TRYIN’ TO HANG ON HIS JOCK.

nOBODY SAID MIMS yet, his album was hyped b4 it came out, but illegal downloading showed everyone that it sucked. so yea plus his home state dont fuk wit him.

Man who the hell is it, im tired of trina figure out cuz it can be any damn body!

How are you guys gonna even mention Diddy? Are you crazy or just dumb? The man is a freaking fashion AND music mogul. He has tons of companies and is set for life. He is a multi-multi-millionaire. He lives on yachts in San Tropez when he feels like it. I doubt he would have problems with paying some jewelery bills.

first off did #41 dumb ass say Jay-z?! Wtf? anyways busta kanye and diddy are all rich as hell. i’m gonna have to say BALLIN, we liked the song didnt buy the cd or a down south rapper

I think its Game.

The Lord loves all of you, it’s time you love him also.

Sorry, I wanna say T.I. cuz when he ain’t rappin or impregnating women he can be found stabbing or beatin’ down fans. But, his albums are doing well and he’s really not into a lot of bling. It’s probably chamillionaire or any and all of D12. them Negroes probably got a bowl of cheerios on layaway.

It’s Busta Rhymes yall.

holymoly broke the story about it being busta

http://community.livejour.../12081598.html?mode=reply

like Vicki said in #254 Holy Moly website mailer says it’s Busta and that’s not all they say

“When Busta Rhymes signed to Dr Dre’s Aftermath label, all seemed well with the world. His producers and entourage made the point that this would be the greatest album of all time, ensuring that Busta did believe the hype.

He embarked on a spending spree that would make even a Premiership footballer blush at its profligacy. The album, ‘The Big Bang’, was a huge success (though some critics felt it was more akin to ‘Big Bollocks’) and gave him his first US number one, but even this wasn’t enough to fill his rapidly-shrinking pockets.

So it’s not only credit card companies chasing the slippery rapper for donations to their maxed-out accounts, but also some scarier types, who tend not to talk about such things as ‘variable APR’ but to target such things as fingers, knees and family pets. For starters. Perhaps it’s finally time for that exposé book deal: “I Am What I Am - Gay And Gangsta.”

“Bwah!”

YUNG JOC! seen his new chain?

THATS BUSTA OR THE GAME.
