Worth noting that Busta himself, and Hype Williams, recognized that beat as a "riddim" from jump. Busta's foil in the video is none other than legendary Jamaican dancer/choreographer Bruk Up youtube.com/watch?v=PLuYj9…

I just want to say that our media has completely failed us on properly covering Trump's cognitive decline, and the danger he poses to our country. It's been another nonstop reel of bothsidism. Glad CNN got called out last night, but you all should truly be ashamed.
