In April 2003, Busta Rhymes and Mariah released a duet, called "I
know what you want". This song was taken from Busta's album "It ain't
safe no more". Business Write wrote about the track: "Winter just got
hot now that hip-hop luminary Busta Rhymes and superstar Mariah
Carey have teamed up on the explosive new song 'I know what you
want'."
When Busta was asked why he chose Mariah for the track, when
he could have had any diva he wanted, he said, "They went through a
whole bunch of suggestions around, Split came up with suggestions,
but ultimately the best was the one we didn't make, which was let's
just see how, you know... let's just see who the best person would be
to sing the part and it's without question that Mariah is one of the best
singers period, hands down." Spliff Star from the Flip Mode Squad
added, "She's viola, viola."
In the USA, it became Mariah's 22nd top 10 hit, solely on airplay.
It was also a top 10 hit in many countries aroudn the world. A press
release said it is a soft-rapped, delicate song with lush vocal parts
provided by the one and only Mariah Carey. A slow funk groove and a
host of guest raps make this a typically infectious Busta track. One for
hip-hop fans and lovers alike. The video is a Busta spectacular, the
movie style plot featuring a cameo performance from Ving Rhames.
