Busy bone recently apologized for an altercation he had at the verses battle with 36 mafia.
A fight broke out after he held a bottle across the stage.
Members of the Memphis crew an hour into the show it had to be stopped due to the fight.
00:00:16:17 - 00:00:33:07 Unknown
After things calmed down, the show resumed busy, apologized, saying he didn't want to ruin the
show and that they should continue. Sometimes it's hard to understand people when we don't
know the history and where they've come from, as well as the struggles they have overcome.
00:00:45:07 - 00:01:04:04 Unknown
Brian, Bizzie Bone McCain, the second was born in Cleveland, Ohio, in 1976,
while in high school, he met the other members of both folks. They formed the
group in 1984 and eventually got signed to Easy's label, roofless. He became their mentor.
00:01:05:04 - 00:01:21:14 Unknown
They were shocked by his death in 1995,
Eazy-E died due to complications from AIDS. Both folks pay tribute to him in the song Crossroads.
It reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100 and charted well in several different countries.
00:01:22:14 - 00:01:49:02 Unknown
But before his success in the group, Bizzy dealt with trauma and unspeakable challenges throughout
his childhood and beyond. At just four years old, he was kidnaped by his then stepfather,
former Pittsburgh Steelers fullback Bryon McCain. Buzzy and his two older sisters who were Bryon's
biological daughters were kidnaped after being told that his mother and grandmother were dead
00:01:50:03 - 00:02:12:16 Unknown
. They were gone for two years, moving from shelter to shelter, apartment to apartment,
motel to motel and even sleeping in cars. Bizzy said his stepfather was a very intelligent guy
and knew how to evade the authorities for as long as they did
before he and his sisters were forced to move around for two years while his mother
00:02:12:16 - 00:02:35:21 Unknown
worked tirelessly to find them. She even called upon activist John Walsh,
whose six year old son was kidnaped and murdered in the early eighties.
Walsh, local agencies and eventually the FBI worked to find Bizzy and his sisters.
Bizzy, and his sisters were taken to a Native American reservation in Oklahoma.
00:02:36:15 - 00:02:53:15 Unknown
While quote-unquote On the run, he was subjected to unspeakable abuse.
He was essayed by the son of one of his stepfather's friends. He didn't
tell a soul for years as he was too young to comprehend the gravity of what happened to him.
00:02:54:14 - 00:03:13:00 Unknown
So I bottled that up inside and I kept it up inside. I never told nobody during
this whole ordeal. Busy still went to school and went by the name of Adam,
a reservation neighbor and babysitter of Bizzy's recognized who he was and alerted authorities.
00:03:13:16 - 00:03:32:12 Unknown
When we were in school, they called me and my sisters down and were interrogating us,
asking us our last names. I ain't never been a snitch, even as a baby. So I kept telling them
the fake name Jones, Jones Jones, and eventually my sister broke it like you can tell them.
00:03:33:21 - 00:03:51:08 Unknown
Busy and his mother were reunited. Much to her relief, no doubt. But sadly,
after remarrying again, she found herself in another abusive relationship and yet again
as he was made to suffer at the hands of another abusive stepfather.
00:03:52:06 - 00:04:09:06 Unknown
Oftentimes, if one doesn't deal with their issues, they find themselves drawn to the
same type of personalities. And these predators prey on the vulnerable. But Bizzy's mother found
the courage to leave her abusive husband, but unfortunately Bizzy ended up in foster care.
00:04:09:19 - 00:04:26:06 Unknown
He was placed in a home where he received love and attention. But despite this,
he still got involved with a bad crowd and began engaging in criminal activity. In his early teens,
as a kid, I was stuck with monumental things that happened in my life.
00:04:27:06 - 00:04:43:08 Unknown
Kind of tragic. I didn't really have any elders I could count on for a specific amount of time.
I had a 23 year stint with my mum. I was kidnaped after that for two years.
John Walsh helped lead the charge in finding me.
00:04:44:00 - 00:05:01:24 Unknown
And then after that, I was in foster homes running around. He sold drugs and became a street dude,
just 14. He became a father. He ended up fathering ten children from four different mothers.
I became a father at 14 years old.
00:05:02:12 - 00:05:26:20 Unknown
I became a father even before I became a man.
It seemed like everywhere I turned, there was another obstacle. The song Hip Hop Baby from
the 2005 Fame Brothers album is dedicated to his kids. 15 busy, lazy and crazy bone
music became an outlet for him, and he would address his struggles in his songs.
00:05:27:08 - 00:05:47:03 Unknown
Life in the group and with his solo projects is he also addressed the haters through his music
and those who clowned him for the struggles he had endured. He even spoke out against Wendy
Williams in the song Gangsta Music, saying, Wendy Williams, you need to kill the noise.
00:05:47:17 - 00:06:08:12 Unknown
You made your name up off of gossip. I laughed because I was touched as a boy. Busy is best
known for integrating rapid fire raps, double harmony choruses and a soft spoken, high pitched
delivery. In his music, his debut album, Evans Movie, went gold and was critically acclaimed.
00:06:09:13 - 00:06:34:12 Unknown
There have been some reports saying that this he was diagnosed with schizophrenia. Yet he has
never confirmed this, nor denied it. He did release a song called Schizophrenic,
which many believe is about his struggles with mental health.
Last year on Facebook, he captioned a video saying Depression anxiety cannot defeat this mindset.
00:06:35:04 - 00:06:56:11 Unknown
Wash, rinse, repeat. Let's focus on our mental health. Today is my day.
Many fans came to his defense after Verzuz incident,
stressing the importance of not making light of the situation,
especially after Gangsta Boo's comments, saying that he needs to take his pills.
00:06:57:04 - 00:07:13:04 Unknown
She refused to apologize for it, later saying that everybody has a sad story.
Even before the Verzuz battle, Bizzy called 36 mafia, asking them to explain their name
why they would choose such a name when they grew up in the church.
00:07:13:14 - 00:07:24:18 Unknown
Then he basically accused them of selling their souls,
so you can imagine it wouldn't have got off to a good start anyway.
Far as I'm concerned, their name speaks for itself. We know how dark the music industry is.
00:07:24:23 - 00:07:42:11 Unknown
I mean, what do you think? Another tragedy that ABC had to face
was the loss of his best friend, foster brother and business partner Adrian Paulette. In 2003,
he was shot three times and killed in his home in Columbus, Ohio.
00:07:43:01 - 00:08:00:11 Unknown
Adrian had featured in both of these albums. He was only 23 at the time of his death,
and the murder still remains unsolved. Speaking of the murder is, he said, I blame myself because
if I wasn't blackballed in the industry, I could have had him out there working.
00:08:01:06 - 00:08:16:04 Unknown
I could have had him out there singing his heart out, doing what he does best.
But we are real people, and what we rap about and sing about is not fake. If we're not doing this,
there's a good chance we could end up dead.
00:08:16:23 - 00:08:40:12 Unknown
I mean, that is the truth. We are real street poets with terrible stories.
No mothers, no fathers, foster homes be on touched on those type of stories.
We lost him. And he is watching over us in the all hip hop interview is, he said,
that he was basically portrayed as the black sheep of being folks in harmony
00:08:41:03 - 00:09:00:20 Unknown
. He was labeled as a dysfunctional alcoholic and the member. He was always causing friction within
the group by not showing up to video shoots, concerts and press opportunities. Bizzy said
that people were warned within the industry not to work with him, and he was basically blackballed.
00:09:01:19 - 00:09:26:19 Unknown
And he said this also affected his foster brother, Adrian. He was basically guilty
by association. So couldn't find work ever speaking about his life story and his struggles.
Busy looks at things in perspective. And he says. This is how I maintain,
because everybody has a story and there was always somebody out there who has had it worse
00:09:27:01 - 00:09:50:24 Unknown
than you say, pick your s*it up, kiss your children and go get some f ing money,
Brian. And that is how I maintain. And one more thing that keeps me going is the people.
Some people are touched by Bizzy's trials and tribulations
that is more fuel than you can imagine when someone comes up to you and says, I
00:09:50:24 - 00:10:06:21 Unknown
feel what you've been through. I went through foster homes
and when I listened to your music, I found out that I wasn't the only one. He was like that.
And it made me cry that right there is like nitrogen to my fuel reactor.
00:10:07:12 - 00:10:22:03 Unknown
It gets my ego oil jacked up.
You want me to do a detailed video on the murder of Adrian Parlette like this video?
Many are rooting for busy. I want to see him continue to beat and overcome his struggles.
