In the 24^th edition of Bangerz N Bopz 🔥 (2024), we break down “Dangerous” performed by Busta Rhymes.

“This is serious / We could make you delirious / You should have a healthy fear of us / ‘Cause too much of us is dangerous.” WOO! “Dangerous” is one of seven top-10 hits by rapper Busta Rhymes on the pop charts – impressive!  Appearing on his 1997 LP When Disaster Strikes…, “Dangerous” peaked at no. 9 on the Billboard Hot 100. Furthermore, this Busta classic has been certified gold by the RIAA.

Giving this rap banger its unique sound are producers Rashad Smith and Armando Colon. The beat knocks, while the synths and sound effects cook – they straight up sizzle! Of course, the star of the show is the one-and-only Busta Rhymes who delivers a compelling cadence and flow. The rhymes by Rhymes are on-point – locked-in and loaded, baby! “Dangerous, my nigga shit be accurate / Have to get, the flow be so immaculate,” he spits in the first verse, getting violent in the second: “Cuttin’ you up, the new shit ruckin’ you up / Fuckin’ you up, my black hole suckin’ you up.” He also serves up a mean threat in the third verse, asserting, “Stay hittin’ with the shit that blow a hole in your trunk.” Damn! Of course, the most memorable lyrics of “Dangerous” occur in the chorus, excerpted above, which continues as follows:

“So dangerous, we so dangerous

My Flipmode Squad is dangerous

So dangerous, we so dangerous

My who entire unit is dangerous.”

Never change Busta Rhymes!
