There ain’t no small op at a Busta Rhymes party, and the rapper went on Instagram to make sure that everybody is aware of it. He had a blast talking about Scar Lip’s first EP, throwing around tons of praise and a few fiery emojis as if none of the artists’ energy was contained, with Rhymes shouting rhymes at full pitch to his ‘big little sis’ in high support for her debut effort.

Gone are the era of pretty pictures; it is now all about gritty, raw, and real-right-from-the-street; an image of ‘SCARRED’ spray-painted in white atop a gray slab of concrete. There was even a little color in those greenish leaves drifting away. It’s raw, clean, and so real, just right for the vibe of the message coming from Rhymes. No glamourized studio shot; just pavement poetry that makes you stop scrolling.
Busta didn’t hold a party for Scar Lip alone, for he gave Shizz! a shoutout, too: ‘THE MAGIC CONTINUES TO HAPPEN KING!!!!!’ Enough exclamation in there to light up a small city. The happiness is contagious; just check the comment section.
One user put it precisely: ‘Love love love this for her 🔥’ —short, sweet, and perfectly on point. Another one stepped in and said: ‘This is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 real music 🎵 finally,’ echoing the excitement about Scar Lip’s debut. But other comments took a backhanded turn and asked, ‘What was everyone doing in the bathroom after watching my movie?’ Eh… okay then. Moving on.
The most thrilling comeback was a reminder of ‘Still slept on Busta it’s crazy’ — after all, while Rhymes is celebrating others, he is still one of those most slept-on legends in the game. Twenty plus years later, he still gives the same energy, whether for his own music or backing up the next generation.
This post really stands out as it places a legacy alongside the artist for someone on their way up in an industry filled with fake love and empty co-signs. Words in all caps, garnished with endless fire emojis and concrete-and-spray-paint visuals — that’s just so Busta.
Scar Lip’s EP takes the foreground here, but Rhymes’ build-up is a digital-Master class in give-back love. No PR team on earth could ever cook up something so authentically hype. When Busta said, ‘THE BLESSINGS DON’T STOP SO WE WON’T EVER STOP!!!! NEVERRRRRR!!!’ you just can’t doubt him for a second. It’ll be an exclusive kind of high when he celebrates his own win. The streets just ain’t ready.
