WEEKEND MIX: busta rhymes feat q-tip, kanye west & lil wayne - thank you

busta rhymes feat q-tip, kanye west & lil wayne - thank you
taken off 'the abstract and the dragon' mixtape, this retro groove hip hop track is really a celebration of the rap skills of busta and q-tip (though i'm sure yeezy thinks he's #1 in this situation). is this a sign of the return of what made these MC's popular in the first place? sure hope so!
