Happy Birthday, Bus a Bus - A few MCs have made careers by shouting on the mic to make sure they were heard as they got their points across, and one of the perfectionists of this rhyme style is none other than the lyrical God Busta Rhymes. As we celebrate his 43rd birthday today, check out a few more rappers who never comprehended the art of whispering and being quiet on the set.

Lil Jon - You don't get the name "King of Crunk" by being quiet, and Lil Jon screamed so loud that you ducked and got low because he didn't give a f**k. (Photo: Jamie McCarthy/Getty Images for iHeartMedia)

DMX - DMX has been known to scream on the mic (and in person), and after he adds in a few dog barks with his over-the-top yelling, he'll have you shook, thinking wild pits really were unleashed into the room.(Photo: Mark Davis/Getty Images for Coachella)

Ja Rule - Ja Rule's voice was just naturally rugged, but once he started to "Holla Holla" is when he put the game on lock.(Photo: Stephen Lovekin/Getty Images)

Onyx - Onyx's overbearing voice tones help them "Slam" their way to the top as they made hush tones Bacdafucup.(Photo: Kristian Dowling/Getty Images)

Plies - Plies never learned the meaning of whispering either because even on his slow songs he's commanding and giving orders so loud that even deaf people get the point. (Photo: Bennett Raglin/BET/Getty Images for BET)

M.O.P. - You can't bring that rough, rugged and flow being sensitive and docile on the mic. Billy Danze and Lil' Fame made the hairs on your neck stand up as they hollered at you to run your jewels on "Ante Up" and had you taking cover on infernos like "4 Alarm Blaze" with their high pitches. (Photo: Mike Lawrie/Getty Images)

Eminem - Slim Shady has been known to scream and lose control, but he said before you can't knock because that's "The Way I Am." Mixed with his obnoxious attitude and behavior, maybe the straitjacket wasn't just a video prop.  (Photo: Theo Wargo/Getty Images)

Waka Flocka - First Waka ruled the streets and then the frat boys came calling as his "O Let's Do It" flow crunked up the crowds. Can't be mad because who ever heard of being soft-spoken while going "Hard In Da Paint."(Photo: Karl Walter/Getty Images for Coachella)

Mystikal - Mystikal's parents must have had James Brown's records playing as lullabies when he was a baby, because the mic in his hand is like an automatic switch as he goes from calm to irate once he enters the booth. With his hit "Shake Ya A**" you didn't know if women were jamming because they liked the song or because the New Orleans MC was shouting orders. (Photo: Neilson Barnard/Getty Images for BMI)

Meek Mill - Philly's human bullhorn has never apologized for being overly excited in his rhymes and stated that he makes a point to deliver that extra push to turn up the party with his music.Meek screamed "Tupac Back" so loud at his shows that the crowds probably turned around to see if Makaveli had entered the building in the flesh, and his pitch on "I'm a Boss" would make his most loyal workers afraid to clock in.   (Photo: Rick Diamond/Getty Images for BET)

Master P  - The Colonel must have learned his mic skills from an old drill instructor, because he made everyone fall in line to his No Limit regime by raising the decibels of his voice. (Photo: Robert Mora/Getty Images)
