Speaking of Busta samples.... did anyone catch that thing on MTV news a
while back where they uncovered Busta's source for the "dangerous"
lyrics. There was a public service anouncement from the early 80's i
remember as a child, with these little sesame street puppets that were
supposed to be little asprin pills. They all took turns singing "this
is... serious. We could make you delerious. You should have a healthy
fear of us..." warning little kids not to eat medicine they find because
it's not candy. Busta said he did not do it conciously, it just was
hidden in his head somewhere. Whoever wrote the lyrics has not voiced
anything about it apparently. How funny is that?
