THANK YOUS: First and foremost, I want to thank the most high God Allah for his continually blessing me with the abil-
ity to grow and evolve and everyone needs to keep in mind regardless of who or what you believe in that God is the great-
est. | Also thanks to my family and my loved ones for clearly supporting me through the many obstacles that I have endured
in the last couple of years. I would not be able to survive a millionth of a fraction of it without your love, support,
patience and understanding. | I want to thank Sylvia Rhone for bringing me back home and all of the people that are part
of the Universal Motown conglomerate, both old and new friends that have been a part of my career from the Elektra days
with Sylvia all the way up to the Universal Motown days today. I'm a make sure the family looks incredible this year. |
I want to thank all of the incredible artists and producers who came out to help me put out such a phenomenal body of
work with this album. I want to thank all of the producers who provided the soundtrack to my life with this album. All
the hot beats, all the musicians that played live. Thank y'all again for your great contributions to this project. | I
want to thank all of my legal representatives both for my business and my legal issues outside of business. | Thank y'all
very much for keeping things stable enough to do what I love best. And with that being said, thanks to Judge Stevens. |
I want to thank my managers Monami Entertainment and Violator Management for continuing to ride the wave with me after
all these years. | I want to thank every radio station and every DJ throughout the planet, radio DJ, club DJ, mix tape
DJ, house party DJ, BBQ in the back yard DJ for playin' my records and supporting everything that I do. I want to thank
every program director, every assistant music director, every mix show coordinator who has ever supported Busta Rhymes and
Flipmode, thank you very much for your love, your support, your dedication and for ridin' with the kid after all of these
years. | Last but not least, and without further ado, the most important - I have to thank all of my fans. I love y'all,
we all need y'all, and without y'all none of this would be possible. Hip Hop since 1972...
Yours truly,
FLIPMODE BITCH!
