Busta Rhymes Says Hip-Hop Helped Him Become A Man
Busta Rhymes has explained how Hip-Hop and becoming a father helped him become a man. During an interview with Men’s Health, the rapper opened up about how Hip-Hop, as well as becoming a father, “forced” him into “becoming a man.” “I was the youngest in Leaders to have a child,” the rapper said, referring to the New York-based Hip-Hop group Leaders of the New School, which he joined in 1986. “That forced me to understand the seriousness of what becoming a man was.” “Hip-Hop provided the means for me to be a man, a father. The bittersweet part was that Hip-Hop demanded time away from my baby,” Rhymes, real name Trevor Smith Jr., continued. “In order to be a good provider, I had to miss magical moments with my baby.”
