'Thank You' is a song by American rapper Busta Rhymes. It was released on November 7, 2013 by Cash Money Records and Republic Records, as the intended second single from his tenth studio albumE.L.E.2 (Extinction Level Event 2) which is yet to release. The song features additional vocals from fellow rappers Q-Tip, Lil Wayne and Kanye West. The song's production was handled by Busta Rhymes himself. It also samples Alicia Myers' 1981 song, 'I Wanna Thank You.' 'Thank You' has since peaked at number 13 on the UK Singles Chart.

Background[edit]

In late August 2013, the second single from E.L.E.2 (Extinction Level Event 2) was announced to be a song named 'Thank You'. The song was revealed to be featuring Kanye West, Q-Tip and Lil Wayne and produced by Busta Rhymes himself. With this track, Busta wanted to end talk of friction between G.O.O.D. Music and YMCMB, represented both by Kanye West and Lil Wayne. In an interview with MTV Busta said, 'There's been a lot of talk over the last year or two about conflict between G.O.O.D. Music and Young Money and Cash Money. I just wanted to put it to bed and create an eventful moment where me and [Lil] Wayne being Young Money/Cash Money on one team, Q-Tip and Kanye [West] be on another movement on G.O.O.D. Music, just showing that camaraderie and that alliance and just making it official on a real Hip Hop level.'[1]

The song features verses by Busta Rhymes and Q-Tip, with ad-libs by Kanye West and Lil Wayne.[2] The song also samples Alicia Myers' 1981 song, 'I Wanna Thank You.'[3]

Recording[edit]

In his 'The Truth' interview with Elliott Wilson, Q-Tip detailed working with Busta Rhymes on the song saying, 'Busta came to my studio and we was just vibin' and he played some joints, and he played that and I was like 'Yo, what's that?'.' Q-Tip then decided to get on the song and also gave Busta the idea to add Lil Wayne and Kanye West to the song.[4]
