Untitled

The Big Bang is the seventh studio album from American rapper Busta Rhymes.

Background

It was released on June 13, 2006. It is his first release under Dr. Dre's Aftermath Entertainment record label. Full production of the album came from Dr. Dre, Swizz Beatz, Will.I.Am, Mr. Porter, Erick Sermon, Green Lantern, Timbaland, the late J Dilla, and DJ Scratch. Featured guests include Nas, Stevie Wonder, the late Rick James, Kelis, Raekwon, and many more. So far, five singles have been released: "Touch It", "Touch It Remix", "I Love My Bitch", "New York Shit" and "In The Ghetto". Music videos were released for all of them.

The finalized version of the "Touch It Remix", for which a video was shot, was not included on the final album.

Reception

The tracks "I'll Hurt You" and "Where's Your Money?" both leaked but received luke-warm responses. The first single was "Touch It" and reached #16 on the Hot 100 chart. "Touch It", featuring a sampled portion of Daft Punk's "Technologic", also garnered a major remix. The second single "I Love My Chick" features Kelis and will.i.am. Stevie Wonder plays piano and sings on "Been Through the Storm."

Sales and certifications

The album became Busta's first album to debut at #1 on the charts with over 209,000 copies sold during the first week off release. On August 4, 2006 the album was certified gold for shipments of over 500,000 units. The album has sold 613,000 copies as of November 22nd, 2008 and 2.5 Million worldwide.

The album became Busta Rhymes' highest charting album in the UK, debuting on the UK albums chart at #19. His previous highest album peak was #34 for the album When Disaster Strikes, almost ten years before the release of The Big Bang.
