Busta Rhymes Premieres 'Talk Ya Sh*t' Video Ahead of August 21 Dillagence 2 Release

Q: Why did it take 14 years for Lil Wayne's first-ever verse on a legendary J Dilla beat to finally surface?

It surfaced now because Busta Rhymes appears to have been holding both pieces of the record for years: Lil Wayne’s verse was cut in 2012, and the J Dilla production came from the large vault of unreleased beats Dilla left Busta before his 2006 death. “Talk Ya Sh*t” only became a finished, releasable song when Busta folded that archival material into *Dillagence 2*, his new tribute project built around Dilla’s unused music. The delay was likely a mix of curation, timing and rights logistics rather than a newly made collaboration. Busta has said he was entrusted with more than 300 unreleased Dilla beats and has been careful about using them in a way that preserves Dilla’s legacy. That helps explain why a Wayne verse recorded more than a decade ago could sit unreleased until Busta found the right concept and rollout for it. There are also signs the song was reconstructed from older sessions. Online commentary tied the verses to Busta’s 2012 Cash Money period, with speculation that Busta may have refreshed parts of his own performance to fit the Dilla beat. That would be consistent with how long-shelved rap records often finally emerge: old vocals, newly assembled production, and a project context strong enough to justify opening the vault. So the 14-year wait reflects the convergence of archival material, posthumous stewardship of Dilla’s catalog, and Busta’s decision to use *Dillagence 2* as the moment to unveil Wayne’s first-known verse over a Dilla beat.
