(Update: 6-15-04 - The Isley Brothers website has been down for a while. (I know it's awful.) But I found another place to watch Busted! Go to their Yahoo! Launch Website to watch Busted over and over again!
Busted!
Girl, You've Been
My Tribute To The Most.....Interesting Music Video Ever
Oh, Busted. Where do I start? It's a song written by R. Kelly and performed by the Isley Brothers (the last two remaining) for their album Body Kiss. They made a hilariously bad music video for it and I just had to fall in love with its poor quality. I've memorized all of the words and my friends enjoy reciting it randomly. It's the best.
It stars Mr. Biggs, which is Ron Isleys "alter ego" he created for an R Kelly video and he's keeping it because he's an absent minded old man.
Mr. Biggs
And then there is his "honey". The singers name is JS but her character is named Asia for some odd reason that only The Isleys can find suiting.
JS a.k.a. "Asia"
Can it get any better? You bet it does. R. Kelly just can't resist making his cameo in the video. He plays a "player" named Kel who is incredibly pussywhipped.
WHIPPED!
Now about the story of Busted. Here's the scenario. Asia has been cheating on Mr. Biggs with Kel. Kel is dropping her off at the home at 2 o' damn clock in the morning. He tries to tell her he's worried about Mr. Biggs but she assures him it's okay. Well the bitch is WRONG! She goes into the house expecting things to be as usual...but they're not...
Mr. Biggs has something waiting for her.
Asia is shocked when she finds Biggs waiting for her. "BUSTED!" Biggs accuses her, "2 o' damn clock in the morning, where you been?" Asia quickly pulls herself together and tries her darndest to excuse her absence. "Baby didn't you get my two way? I was with my girlfriends!" Mr. Biggs is smarter than that. He knows she's lying. He tells her that he called her two best friends Keisha and Tonya and they were both at home. "But I didn't say them though!" "But they're the only friends I know!"
Keisha and Tonya were both at home.
Asia knows that this lie hasn't worked. She is quick on her toes however and devises an even better story "Before you get all upset, here's the truth." She tells Mr. Biggs that she was with "her girl" when she got some bad news. "Her man cheated, had her upset and confused." "But baby what's that got to do with you comin' in at two?" She's telling him. "She was so upset she asked me to stay with her?" Mr. Biggs is still onto her lie. "Why didn't your ass just pick up the phone and call me?" Asia replies "I was gonna do that but it slipped my mind I'm sorry, but I'm tellin you the truth!" But Mr. Biggs has something for her.
He asks "What's her name?" "Sharon" "Where does she live" "Uhhh..." "Her man's name?" "Billy!" "She got kids?" "I think one or two.." "SHE GOT KIDS?!?" "Baby yes, no." That's one thing he's gotta know. "How the hell is she your friend if you don't know if she got kids?" Then he pounds the chorus on her ass. "Go upstairs, pack your bags, while you at it, call a cab! It's obvious, you playin' around, go upstairs and get yo' shh and the ff up out of here now!" (For some reason he censors himself while saying naughty words.)
Mr. Biggs don't play that.
Now we cut to Asia packing up her things but she is a determined honey and tries her best to convince Mr. Biggs otherwise. "I can explain everything!" She claims. Mr. Biggs doesn't want to hear of it. "Baby, please, one more chance!" She pleads. She tells him a different story now. This one being the best yet. According to this tale, her and some girlfriends went dancing. "Who?" Biggs asked. "Me, Shaniqua, Shaquan, and Robyn!"
Asia dancing with either Shaniqua, Shaquan, or Robyn.
Biggs is onto her though. He decides to use some word trickery to fool her. "Well if ya'll were going shopping, why didn't you just check in?" Asia doesn't notice how Biggs changed her story. "I was but then I thought my cellular was off." Aha! He has done it. Now it's accusation time.
That Biggs is one smart playa.
"Now earlier you said dancing. But when I just asked you said shopping. Tell me, which one were you doing?" You can tell Asia is thinking "DAMNIT!" She replies "Oh baby I must be confused." Mr. Biggs knows she lying now. "Yeah right, you're real confused!" Biggs has more questions to ask to prove his theory. "Tell me where you been?" "Dancing" "Dancing where?" "Uhhh..." "The name of the club?" "Kisses!" "What time it is?" "I think one or two.." "WHAT TIME IT IS?!?" "Three, four." That's one thing he's gotta know. "At first you say dancing, but now you say shopping!"
Time for another round of ass pounding with Mr. Biggs' forceful chorus. "Go upstairs, pack your bags, while you at it, call a cab. It's obvious, you playin' around. Go upstairs and get yo' shhh and the ff up out of here now!"
The most badass picture ever.
So Asia is pretty much foiled at this point. Mr. Biggs has clearly gotten to her. She has one last chance of pleading. "Baby I'm a victim of circumstances, why you dont believe me I don't understand it." Mr. Biggs has heard enough. "Tryin' to slick a can of oil, who you think you foolin'? Now get on out my face, 'fore I catch another case.!" And then with the forceful chorus. Stubborn Asia tries to plead more. "Innocent!" Mr. Biggs replies "Guilty!" Asia's last desperate attempt for hope "Wait a minute!" Biggs has had it! "GO UPSTAIRS AND GET YOUR SHHH AND THE FF UP OUT OF HERE NA!"
Honey didn't stand a chance.
"Tell me, where am I supposed to go from here?" Mr. Biggs answers her: "Frankly my dear...I don't give a damn." And there you have it. Busted broken down piece by piece so the glory of it is clearly understood.
Aren't you just put in awe? If you want to experience the magic for yourself, this wonderful song AND video are both avaliable for download at The Isley Brothers website. My goal for this world is that every person will be able to know all of the words to Busted and together, we can use it to unite the entire planet of Earth.
