I don't know this days but in the past in the "I Know What You Want" video he looks 1 inch taller then Michael Jay White and at least 3 inches taller then Mariah Carey using a 3 or 4 inch shoes so 6ft1 and a half I think.

6'1 barefeet is my estimate, adding another 2-3 inches from his shoes making him look up to 6'4 occasionally, he's also in great shape and has a good posture.

His name 'Busta' would suggest that this is a guy who values being tall, in fact, the taller he can get away with, the better!
There is written evidence that he has tried to edge his way up to 6ft2 - and even 6ft FOUR!
He should be content with topping 6ft, but I know the feeling of wanting to be 'just a couple of pounds lighter' or slither half an inch more from my waist!
Now I reckon this is much the same thing in geezer form!
Busty* can have 6ft1 and a half because it just might put a smile on his face!
@ Nik - No, it wasn't my
autocorrect - it was me!

I saw him at Barney's yesterday as I am the door man. This man is enormous. His chest and shoulders are literally bodybuilder like. He is at least 6'2 240-260 pounds. He is HUGE. His neck, biceps everything. I wonder if he's taking juice.

Paris Hilton is at least 5'7 and she's wearing heels (although she isnt standing straight) She has luda (5'7) still beat, she would be on par with diddy (5'10) if she stood up. Busta looks to have a 4-5 inch advantage on puff.
Don't short change the guy.

you might be right viper, by the way how tall is redman?....because busta and him looked about the same height...the reason i also ask is because redman gets towered by 6'3 method man...so busta can't be 6'1

I think Busta is 6-0. Busta can look as short as 5-10 and 5-11 as well.
Busta looks 5-11 with 6-8 3/4 measured Al Horford. Click Here
Busta looks 4 inches shorter than the 6-2 or 6-3 Michael Phelps. Click Here
These are photos where he looks 5-10-5-11. I dont think hes that short but I doubt hes 6-1. Id say hes 6-0 at the max.

This mugshot of Travis Mccoy at Angels ans Kings karaoke bar-was it with or without shoes? I rather think he had shoes on, so he has to be shorter than 6ft5! Maybe 6ft4...

He is definitely 6'4. In the new Gym Class Heroes music video "Peace sign/Index Finger", he standing next to Travis Mccoy who is 6'5(go to his myspace and see his mug shot at the Angels and Kings karaoke bar)and they look like there the same height but Travis has about an inch on Busta.

I've always thought Busta was around 6'2" I guess 6'1" is also possible. I went to school with Michael Phelps, the swimmer, who's 6'4". Phelps took a picture with him, and Busta looked only a couple inches shorter. Don't know about shoes, but if he were 4 inches shorter, he would just barely be passing Phelps eye level, which was not the case.
SD2002, Busta was a lot taller than Ice Cube, and actually shorter than Michael Rappaport in Higher Learning, but Rappaport is like 6'3", so I'm not seeing how that's relavant.
Glenn, you were right. He was much smaller at the beginning of his career up until relatively recently. 2004 and earlier he was very skinny. He gained a lot of weight right before he released his last album, must have started lifting because it was a drastic change. That might be what makes him look slightly shorter now too...

I think this guy might be real short! I remember seeing Higher Learning and he didn't seem that much taller than Ice Cube or Michael Rappaport. Then there was a movie where he was towered by this other guy, forgot what it was as I just was channel surfing (they were next to each other at night in front of some building) and the guy towered over him. If he's 6'1 then the guy must have been 6'7. Maybe he's 5'11?

Jk-on this site an inch means the world.Busta might be 6-1 or even 6-2.but when I see him in public,he gives an illussion of 6ft,due to maybe posture and stockyness.he is heavier than I imagined.or maybe he was skinny early in his career.

I went to Uniondale H.S. with Busta and graduated in '88 - he had just moved from Brooklyn a year or two earlier. I'm 6'0 he's about an inch taller than me. No more... no less. I ran into him about 6 or 7 years after H.S. on 8th ave way before his solo career skyrocketed and he was the same 'ol Taheem (name he went by in H.S.).

It's funny having read Glenn's posts and then to read this is in the AP just today.
"Ramirez's killing apparently isn't the only incident Busta was involved in this past weekend. Reports are surfacing that Busta and his four bodyguards assaulted a photographer shortly after leaving a Manhattan restaurant this past Friday (February 3). Photographer Justin Baggoo claims the rapper quickly became hostile when he attempted to snap a photo.
"When [Busta] saw me, he rushed to me and one of the bodyguards came around me and grabbed me," Baggoo told The Daily News. "He grabbed me by the hand and they started to check me. [Busta] just came directly to me, and then he grabbed me by the hand and one of the bodyguards took the camera from me and it hit against a glass [wall] on the bank."
