Busta Rhymes dropped a sonic bomb Wednesday night (Nov. 16), when he announced that he was making a shift in his career with a move to the Young Money/Cash Money (YMCMB) collective.

Birdman and Lil Wayne's respective label homes welcomed the veteran MC into the fold, of which the news has received a mixed reaction from fans and critics alike. Besides his teaming with YMCMB, Busa Buss also revealed a working relationship under the umbrella of Google Music, a new digital music platform.

"If your not focusing on the ground breaking part of this Google Launch with Busta your not seeing the big picture [sic]," Chris Lighty, who manages Busta's career, posted on Twitter.

The rapid rhymer celebrated his new position as a YMCMB signee and Google Music launched artist by releasing a Chris Brown-assisted track titled 'Why Stop Me Now.' The song, a snap-heavy banger that has CB and Bus boasting and bragging, is available for free via Google Music.

As head of his own movement, the conglomerate, the New York native is giving rap fans an opportunity to showcase their skills via YouTube to score a starring role in the forthcoming visuals for 'Why Stop Now,' produced by Sak Pase.

Cooreds are by far the most inbred race on the planet. Thats why they are still simple minded savages. Just look at Africa and Haiti for proof. The only reason they are thriving in the US is because mormal feed, house and clothe them like they were retarded simpletons.

Look at all the racist morons in the comments here. What a bunch of inbreds! hahaha. Ignorance is bliss... for those observing it. The real "niggers" here are the trashy, deficient, simpleminded and discriminatory cockroaches that think they are better than someone of whom they know nothing. Thats right racist white people i am calling all of you niggers.

First of all, as a black man, I don't like rap music if it is at all music. If these rappers are rapping about intelligent social issues, I will listen. But not to all of the crap being spewed all over the air waves by these so called thug rappers.
Now, About all of the name calling by all of these white racist fools: A lot of you refer to blacks as monkeys, but, have you taken a good look in the mirror and checked out your profile? I guess not. If you do, you will find that most white people have so much more in common with Orangutans, monkeys (primates), and gorillas than black people do. Your long stringy monkey hair; your pale wrinkled skin; your flat hairy butts; flat fore heads, out of rhythm knuckle draggin' gait, No lips of substance; and much much more. Now go meditate on that for a while fools. I will be back with more later on if you are still not fully convinced as yet. I know that most of you prefer to live in pure abject denial. Happy trails.

You couldn't have said it any better than I !! I wonder too why will they call us colored when they are paying to get the complextion that we as blacks are naturily born with? And if you ask me they are more colored then we are why because when we are mad our face expressions may change but noticed that the color stays the same!!!! O and one last word look it up Africa is the richest country every living breed started from there aproud afriacan american stands here .....

hehehe, you guys kill me. Funny you mention white folks wanting to get a tan. (it does happens naturally with the sun, you know). you forgot to emntion all the fake hair black women wear, and the blu eyes they buy. you see, maybe you should not throw stones from a glass house. it goes for all races, they always steal things from each other. including women and men (lol).by the way, Africa is not a country "peacan". Go back to school please. by your same argument, white people are africans too....don't forget that. you are funny!!!
