Busta Rhymes is one of the best emcees ever and this album was released at the height of his popularity. His rapid-fire flow was, and still is, one of a kind. Because unlike other fast rappers, he is still understandable and the energy in his delivery is magnificent. E.L.E.'s lead single, "Gimme Some More", clocks in at only a little over 2 and a half minutes but it is one of my favorite Busta songs. The other great thing about this album, taken as a whole, is that is a little more upbeat production-wise and serves as a great soundtrack to the end of one millennium and the beginning of another. The apocalyptic theme is still there, but the tracks and image of the project isn't quite as doom and gloom as Busta's first two solo releases. Oh, and the music video for the Janet Jackson-assisted "What's It Gonna Be?!" was awesome too.
