Back on My B.S. (2009)

Busta Rhymes' eighth studio album, Back on My B.S., defines the term ''mixed bag.'' For every track that finds him returning with full force to the tongue-twisting ways of his youth (''Don't Believe 'Em'') or addressing tabloid gossip with refreshing honesty (''If You Don't Know''), there's a blatant trend grab like the Auto-Tune-abusing ''Hustler's Anthem '09.'' Worst of all is ''Arab Money,'' a song that combines ignorant ethnic stereotyping with an unpleasantly shrill hook. All things considered, Busta should probably try including a little less B.S. the next time he comes back. C+
