Idolator

We told you that getting out of Randall's Island can be a pain in the ass: Just after his Saturday-afternoon Amsterjam set, Busta Rhymes was picked up by the cops for an August 12th incident in which Rhymes and some pals allegedly kicked a Bronx man who spat on Rhymes' car. According to the Post, Rhymes was charged with assault, not to mention a weapons-posession rap for the ten-inch machete in the back seat of his armor-plated SUV (he really, really hates it when people block the box). The cops held him for twelve hours, and Rhymes' lawyer claims it was revenge for the rapper not cooperating with police in the investigation of his slain boydguard; we think it may also be payback for that awful Flipmode Squad "Cha Cha Cha" song from a few years back.
