As the December 20th release date for Young Jeezy's Thug Motivation 103: Hustlerz Ambition nears closer, we're finally starting to see what the album's really made of. The main single, "F.A.M.E." is a very personal track featuring T.I. that focuses on the extreme scrutiny that's placed on them because of their position.

On my 4 hour, $1 (Yes, one dollar!) Megabus trip from Charlotte to Atlanta, it seems I missed some interesting news. Today, Busta Rhymes announced on Twitter that he has signed a deal with Young Money, Cash Money Records. I can name probably 10 good reasons why I think this is a stupid idea, but I'll just get to the music.
To make the occasion more memorable, Busta dropped his new song "Why Stop Now" with Chris Brown, which features Bussa Buss recreating his roadrunner flow over a beat pretty similar to "Look At Me Now." Listen below, and chime in to give me your opinions of the track and Busta's new deal.
