In 1998, Busta Rhymes and Janet Jackson teamed up for “What’s It Gonna Be?,” a single from Busta’s album Extinction Level Event: The Final World Front. The song was an MTV mainstay and reached #3 on the Billboard Hot 100 — Busta’s highest-charting hit as a lead artist. (He later made it to #2 as a guest on the Pussycat Dolls’ “Don’t Cha.”) Despite the success, Busta and Janet never performed “What’s It Gonna Be?” live together onstage.
