* GutturalGrowler: One of his most distinctive traits is his gruff delivery whenever he flows on the mic. Even his natural speaking voice has a little rasp to it.

Added DiffLines:

* SurrealMusicVideo: "Gimme Some More" is gangsta-centric take on old 1930s-1940s cartoons with lots of FishEyeLens, weird costume and background designs, and even visible freeze-frames at the end of each shot of Busta to add to the clusterfuck.

Badass Baritone is disambiguated


* BadassBaritone: Funny enough, when he isn't gutturally growling in his verses or smoothly flowing, his natural speaking voice is pretty deep...and a bit raspy.
Is there an issue? Send a MessageReason:
no longer a trope per TRS


* WelcomeToTheCaribbeanMon: Downplayed. He is of Jamaican descent and sometimes works this in his raps, but not to the degree of others.

* HeterosexualLifePartners: With producer Swizz Beatz.Beatz and his own hype man Spliff Starr.
* ImportantHaircut: Famously chopped off his iconic dreadlocks in 2005, rocking the short Caesar haircut ever since (pictured above). Thought he did try to restart his dread journey several years later, it was short-lived.

* VocalDissonance: At lease back then, where his gruff vocals were an anomaly to his rail-thin physique. Nowadays, he's got the body to match his vocals.
