Gimme Some More “Gimme Some More” is the Grammy–nominated lead single American rapper Busta Rhymes released from his third solo album "." An example of hip-hop rap of the comedy rap type, it is often considered to be the very summit of Busta's complex, breathless, high-speed rhyming delivery most prominent in his early work. Written and composed entirely by Rhymes, who was credited using his real name of Trevor Smith, the selection was produced by regular Busta collaborator DJ Scratch. The violin riffs that accompany the main beat are sampled from the opening theme to Alfred Hitchcock's 1960 film "Psycho," composed by Bernard Herrmann. In 2000, it was nominated for Best Rap Solo Performance at the Grammy Awards, but it lost to Eminem's "My Name Is." Rhymes first performed the song live with The Roots on "Saturday Night Live" with "Tear da Roof Off" on February 13, 1999.
