Tear Da Roof Off

About this song

Tear Da Roof Off is track 5 on Busta Rhymes' 1998 album Extinction Level Event: The Final World Front. It was the album's lead single, though it was quickly overshadowed by the follow-up single Gimme Some More. The song was the first solo Busta Rhymes track to feature production from Swizz Beatz, who had risen to fame in 1998 largely through his work on DMX's Ruff Ryder's Anthem. Since it never received its own music video, its first verse and hook were attached to the front of the video for Party Is Goin' On Over Here later in 1998.
