How did Busta Rhymes become the interlude king in the 90’s?

[dora_da_destroyer]

Was listing to What’s the 411? And his interlude came on, I remember he had a couple interludes on TLC’s crazysexycool, he was on Missy’s Supra Dupa Fly, he had one with ATCQ - which makes sense given the Native Tongues movement. I feel like there are more. Like how this dude get paid to show up and just babble for 60-90 seconds on multiple multi-platinum albums!?

He gave a speech at the last big award he got about how he "pioneered" the rap feature. I'm guessing he would say he pioneered the spoken interlude the same way.

Recognizable voice and personality and could match basically whatever energy was needed.

There is a thread of Busta never being home always out and about hanging with all sorts of rappers.

Its no surprise that he was probably doing it in the 90s too networking and randomly ending up in studio sessions vibing
