Genesis is the fifth studio album by Busta Rhymes.[11] "Shut 'Em Down 2002" is an unorthodox remix of Public Enemy's "Shut 'Em Down" by Pete Rock. "Make It Hurt" is featured in the 2004 video game Def Jam: Fight for NY. The biggest single from the album, "Pass the Courvoisier, Part II", peaked at number eleven on the Billboard Hot 100. It was included at the end of the album on some later pressings (on which "Ass On Your Shoulders" was removed due to playing time restrictions). It sold 1.9 million copies and certified Platinum by RIAA.
