The birthday shout-out from Brother Rhymes who assumed high respect for success shared and withstood is another accent to the growing Brooklyn hip-hop culture on the miracle of possession of strong-holding ties selling one another. Rhymes gave several fairly energized, unconventional moments on Instagram while stating the blessings will forever be flowing unto them.

Busta Rhymes yelled and roared on the birthday celebration of his “brother.” The celebrations went royal in emoji form! Prince higher up in Brooklyn! “THE BLESSINGS DON’T STOP SO WE WON’T EVER STOP!!!! NEVERRRRR!!!” The caption is like an anthem to nonstop success and victory going on and on as Rhymes repeats this themselves.
The legendary rapper wished his longtime collaborator in all caps, “MORE LIFE!! MORE STREGNTH, MORE WINS!!” The somewhat typical misspelling of strength was his signature rapid-fire typing style. Post-haste, the misleadingly tagged Instagram account @lilbaddiewiththecamera, credited for the striking photo that encapsulates both artists.
Here began some of the child-of-hip-hop commentary. Raekwon from the Wu-Tang Clan gave a little salute to the two artists: “murderous fit lord! 🔥” It was just a great way of saying the arts respect each other.
Buk Gudda came with an emotional reply: “LOVE YOU & SPECIAL TO DEATH!! THANK YOU FOR yA LOVE ENERGY AND SUPPORT DURING THIS TUFF TIME FOR ME & THE FAMILY❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️.” This probably indicates that at least public support from Rhymes was during a difficult time for Gudda himself and those nearest to him.
Not everybody was in the celebratory mood. One read: “NIGGA WHO DA HELL IS BUSTAR HYMES,” which could have been a genuine expression of ignorance or simply some effort to troll. It was quite the opposite of the wave of support flowing from other followers and collaborators.
Somebody else pointed out a potential tagging error: “Ayo @bustarhymes you tagged the wrong Bkgudda,” insinuating that Rhymes could have tagged the wrong account in his earnest birthday wish. Such minor social media gaffes are almost too normal when stars juggle a couple of profiles carrying kindred names.
Also, comments contained a stream of irrelevant posts, one being a Spanish-to-English translated rant on weather disasters and personal woes, which would have been a rarity for anything aware of the gala birthday. One might expect such off-topic comments on any post belonging to a celebrity.
Busta Rhymes has always supported young Brooklyn artists such as Bk Gudda and being with them is one of the ways he supports local talent. For sure, with all his heavyweight prominence, he has been a producer for the hip-hop culture along the way. It is one of those endorsements of artists that carry much weight within the musical community. That birthday acknowledgment celebrated both the personal and the rising professional stature of Gudda.
The relationship expressed by the artists shows a sincere friendship beyond the run-of-the-mill business partnerships. Gudda’s mention of “this tuff time” indicates that Rhymes has helped during some personal struggles, implying that their alliance extends well beyond track into becoming true friendships.
The constant use of royal allegories accompanied with a sprinkling of crown emojis from Rhymes positions Gudda as Brooklyn’s next major hip-hop ambassador. Such a public installation by a veteran would go a long way in boosting Gudda’s stature in New York’s highly competitive track scene.
This heartwarming post offers a reminder of the works of the man, perfectly succeeding with his re-entry that has recently seen him ranked in the festival circuit and studio recording new track, and also of the man being able to take others to stardom without letting go of the legendary status for himself.

Brooklyn’s hip-hop has always felt as if it were a family wherein the legends would always promote and uplift the upcoming ones. Busta Rhymes’ birthday for Bk Gudda captures the spirit of this ethos: giving back while celebrating a shared success. Public support fortifies ties that have seen the New York track arena through good times and bad. Assata Shakur was also honored by Rhymes in a recent powerful community message.
