The veteran rapper has spoken highly of his (possible) ‘Dream Team’ partner and young female artist Nicki Minaj in recent weeks, saying that she is a hot breakthrough in the genre of Hip Hop, having also said that he is amazed at her ability to keep her image diverse.

Busta also gave the female rapper some advice on how to stay in the game as long as he has, suggesting that if she started appearing in some movies she will become untouchable. Well…no, she will be touchable, and considering the roles Busta Rhymes has played…what is he on about?

Anyways, speaking to MTV (figures) News US, he goes to say: “A lot of the times we get stuck into these characters where we kind of become slaves to those characters; we sound a particular kind of a way all of the time. I’m never saying that it’s not a good thing. We should always trademark certain things about us so that people can identify with it off the top. But it’s always good to be able to show people how diversified you are and what you’re capable of outside your comfort zone.

“It feels like she ain’t got no problem displaying that. I probably think the one thing she need to do that she ain’t did yet was show up in a couple of these movies and it’s a wrap. She get a couple of these movies and steal the scenes that she’s in the same way she do it on these records, she going to put the nail in the coffin with that.”
