For context, Busta has 20 Billboard entries (solo and features) for his CAREER, Wayne has 183 entries. All 20 of those Busta songs are not monsters, I must be in the twilight zone or something.

versuz is all about performance and song selection. Busta could beat Wayne if wayne is lazy. Busta is one of the best performers in music.

Wayne has the bigger songs and a larger pool to choose from. Plus Wayne is a good performer himself. What are you nikkas arguing?

Wayne’s solo debut came out in 1999, Busta’s came out in 1996. Not sure what point you’re trying to make…
Are you just playing this dumb? Everybody know Wayne wasn't taken seriously until a few years after that. That's when most people consider his run as starting. It wasn't until around the Carter 1 release that anybody really gave a damn about a Wayne solo release. Busta had already been out for a few years and had crazy momentum due to shyt like Flava In Your Ear remix and Scenario Remix.

Only Wayne songs that really popped off was his little part on Back That Azz Up, the Bling Bling hook, and maybe Way of Life but I don't see none of them hitting his top 20 at all. Matter of fact I hear everybody always talking about how great Wayne would do at these but nobody ever drops a 20 for Wayne.

Wayne wasn’t taken seriously? Where are you from again? You obviously are out of touch or just don’t know wtf you’re talking about. He was already a platinum artist prior to Carter 1. Just because he didn’t become a household name and a superstar until a few years later he was still ACTIVE. Busta rhymes hasn’t done anything memorable since Look at me now in 20 fukking eleven, which Wayne was on as well.

Pre-2000 Wayne:
I need a hot girl
Back that azz up
#1 stunna
The block is hot

And he more than likely wouldn’t even touch these in VS…

Does south bias exist? Just asking...

It absolutely does, just peep that "Boosie vs Hov in the club" discussion that was circulating on twitter last month
It absolutely does but not in this context. The NY gatekeeping was a real thing in the 90s and early 00s

Indeed but the reality is the roles have reversed in 2022 and now pretty much anything NY related gets downplayed to “Nobody outside of the east cares about that”. People don’t realize they’re doing the same thing they were angry at NY for doing in the 80s and 90s.
