"Gimme Some More" (Busta Rhymes)

This song is some weird shit (with a freaky, cartoonish video to match).
Let's start with the sample from Bernard Herrmann's score for the Alfred Hitchcock film Psycho.  Any song that opens with the same swirling, frantic strings that introduced the world to Norman Bates is going to be...quirky.
Then DJ Scratch's thumping, galloping beat falls in, and it meshes insanely well with the sample.
And then there's Busta Rhymes' flow.  
Holy.  Shit.
The lyrics are pretty much an old skool boast (my crew is better than yours; my stacks are bigger than yours; my flows are better than yours; etc).  But he delivers every word at breakneck speed.  I don't think he takes a breath the entire song.
It just is one of the sickest, most fluid flows ever.
