Busta Gets Lotsa Trials

07/12/07
. (Hecklerspray) If finding the illegallest rapper could be decided with an 8 Mile-style rap battle, then the predicament that Busta Rhymes is currently in would have the crowd so excited that they'd start pretending to fire guns in the air with their fingers and stuff.

That's because Busta Rhymes is about to go to court four different times for apparently being illegal in four different ways - beating up someone who spat on his car, beating up someone who he employed, driving on a suspended licence and driving drunk with unusually tinted windows.

And since a judge has refused to consolidate these charges into one trial, you'd think that Busta Rhymes would be dreading all the court appearances he's due to make - but not so. In fact, Busta Rhymes is thrilled, since four trials means that there'll be four times the amount of adjournments where he can nip out to his car and record enough pop-song guest-raps to cover all four of his probable jail sentences.
