* LargeHam: Busta Rhymes is one of rap's shining beacons of ham-ness. Even when simply doing a laid back interlude on someone else's album, his instincts will inevitably take over; as evidenced by his appearance on Music/MaryJBlige's "Intro Talk", where he goes into ham mode ''twice'', despite trying to remain calm:

And do it like this, and like that\\
I flip on the rhymes, show indeed that Busta Rhymes be'' '''''wildin!'''''" ''(EvilLaugh)''
