<blockquote> <blockquote><blockquote> jay also battled busta in their high school, </blockquote> Nah man, Busta went to high school on Long Island at Uniondale and BOCES. BOCES is the specialized school for talented kids, and Busta (Tahiem) was in classes with my tattoo artist. </blockquote> I read a Busta interview where this was confirmed. Jay-Z won w/ the fastrap </blockquote> Maybe Busta went to brooklyn to battle Jay-Z in Jay's high school, but TRUST ME, any Long Island hip hop fan is laughing at Busta if he's trying to claim he's from Brooklyn only. He went to Uniondale High School, there are a thousand heads out here who can confirm that. Anyone you meet from Uniondale who's around that age has a Busta story. <a href="http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.newsday.com/media/thumbnails/photo/2003-10/9697049.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.newsday.com/community/guide/lihistory/ny-starring_li_pop,0,1403302.story%3Fcoll%3Dny-lihistory-navigation&h=213&w=180&sz=12&tbnid=pVQnJLJtgSYJ:&tbnh=101&tbnw=85&hl=en&start=1&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dbusta%2Buniondale%26svnum%3D10%26hl%3Den%26lr%3D%26client%3Dfirefox-a%26rls%3Dorg.mozilla:en-US:official_s%26sa%3DG">Easy google</a> <blockquote> Busta Rhymes has attributed his celebratory rapping style to his childhood in Uniondale. ``That Long Island environment was some fresh-air type --- that gives you room to be who you are and want to be without all those urban hangups,'' Rhymes was quoted as saying two years ago. `` . . . There was no unhappiness in our lives, so we were comfortable, cozy . . . We were able to focus on hip-hop on a fun level.' </blockquote> and from MTV.com's Busta biography: <blockquote> Born in East Flatbush, Brooklyn, in 1972 of Jamaican heritage (a definite influence on his rapping style), Busta moved to Long Island in 1983 and, at Uniondale High School, met up with MCs Charlie Brown, Dinco D., and Cut Monitor Milo. Inspired by fellow Long Islanders Public Enemy and Eric B. & Rakim </blockquote>
