Busta Rhymes Taunts T.I.: “You Was Not Ready To Get This Ass-Whooping”
Busta Rhymes will be participating in the next season of Verzuz but who he’ll be facing off against remains a mystery.
This week, the rap legend tried to take on T.I. but the King of the South “respectfully declined” his offer, citing their generational gap. Instead, people are begging Tip to take on a battle with Jeezy.
As for who Busta Buss is battling, that’s still up in the air. After hearing Tip’s refusal, he had some words for the rapper, taunting him with a 4-minute video on Instagram.

“Ayo Tip, you’re my brother and I love you very much, King,” says Busta Rhymes before praising his new album. Those were the only kind words he had, though. “It’s okay to let people know that you backed down from this Verzuz offer,” he adds. “Come on now, let’s be honest. It’s okay, Tip. You respectfully declined, I guess that’s the fancy way to say that you turned down this Verzuz battle. You wanna talk about generational gap? That’s a very… respectful way of not saying that you don’t really want to sit in the smoking section with me and that you actually just turned down the opportunity to do this Verzuz battle with me. It’s cool, Tip. You can say it, King.”
Busta continued picking on T.I., egging him on to admit that he wasn’t down to battle.
“You should just say it, man,” continued Buss. “Just let the world know truly that you don’t want this bust ass that you was about to get. It’s okay. Cause, see, the difference between me and you, my brother, and we’re both kings, I’m actually a god. I don’t run from no situation and age don’t make no difference to me. You know what makes the difference? The work you put in.”

Finally, Busta leaves Tip with a final word, imploring him to admit that he wasn’t ready for their proposed battle.
“Let’s not make no excuses, King. Tell the people. You was really not ready to get this ass-whooping on a world stage. That’s the truth,” finishes Busta.
He concludes by proposing some historic to Timbaland and Swizz Beatz, saying that he doesn’t mind going up against two artists at the same time.
Who do you want to see Busta Rhymes battle on Verzuz? And who do you think would have won between him and T.I.?

Pete Miller Explores Duality on “The Dazzling Kimberly”
Pete Miller’s ‘The Dazzling Kimberly’ is a profound exploration of the intricacies of human emotion and the complexity of our relationships. Through its narrative, the song delves deep into the heart of love, loss, and the paths we choose in life. The protagonist’s journey of self-reflection and contemplation, sparked by the enigmatic Kimberly, serves as a mirror to our own experiences with love and the often painful lessons that come with it.
“The Dazzling Kimberly” is a poignant song that narrates the story of two twins embroiled in conflict, who are brought together and eventually reconciled by their interactions with a mystical figure named Kimberly. This song, with its rich narrative and allusions, particularly to the biblical story of Jacob and Esau, offers a layered exploration of themes such as rivalry, redemption, and the ephemeral nature of life and relationships.
The song opens with a vivid depiction of one twin’s sense of guilt and moral ambiguity, contrasting his own cunning with his twin’s straightforward approach. This internal conflict sets the stage for the entrance of Kimberly, a figure whose very existence seems otherworldly, serving as a catalyst for change and reflection in the twins’ lives.
Kimberly, characterized by her wisdom and almost supernatural presence, challenges the narrator to reconsider his values, suggesting that victories won through cunning lack the essence of true love and fulfillment. Her influence is profound, guiding the twins towards a reconciliation that seemed impossible before her intervention.
The chorus of the song encapsulates the narrator’s deep yearning and the transformative impact Kimberly has had on his life. It questions the value of freedom and the significance of their bond, highlighting the impermanence of life through the metaphor of fading air and shifting sands.
The resolution of the twins’ conflict, prompted by Kimberly’s disappearance (or passing), symbolizes a newfound maturity and understanding. The once-contentious land becomes a symbol of their shared heritage and reconciliation, underscoring the message that love and unity are more valuable than any material possession or victory.
The allusion to Jacob and Esau provides a biblical backdrop to this tale of rivalry and reconciliation, enriching the narrative with layers of meaning and moral questioning. Just as Jacob and Esau reconcile after years of conflict, so do the twins, guided by the ethereal and loving presence of Kimberly.
The song’s melancholic yet hopeful tone captures the duality of human experience—the longing for what was and the hope for what could be. The moods and themes you’ve described, from melancholy and contemplation to love, regret, and redemption, underscore the universal struggle with fate and the desire for moral clarity and closure.
For further thematic exploration, the works of Leonard Cohen, particularly for their spiritual and existential undertones, or the poetic narratives of Bob Dylan, might resonate with the themes of “The Dazzling Kimberly.” Both artists adeptly weave complex human emotions with broader philosophical and spiritual questions, much like Pete Miller does in this song.
