Anarchy is the fourth studio album by American Hip hop recording artist Busta Rhymes. It was released on June 20, 2000 via Flipmode Records and Elektra Records. Recording sessions took place at Buzz Soundworks Recordings and Soundtrack Studios in New York City and at McClair Digital in Toronto from May 1999 to March 2000. Production was handled by DJ Scratch, Nottz, Busta Rhymes, J Dilla, Swizz Beatz, Large Professor, DJ Shok, Rockwilder, Just Blaze, P. Killer Trackz and Scott Storch. It features guest appearances by M.O.P., DMX, Jay-Z, Lenny Kravitz, Raekwon, Ghostface Killah and Flipmode Squad members: Roc Marciano, Spliff Star, Rampage, Lord Have Mercy, Baby Sham and Rah Digga. It comes after the releases of The Coming, When Disaster Strikes... and E.L.E. (Extinction Level Event): The Final World Front. Unlike these albums, Anarchy does not follow the apocalypse theme. Also this is Busta's final album with Elektra Records.

The album debuted at #4 on the Billboard 200 with first-week sales of 164,000 copies, #1 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums charts, #38 on the UK Albums chart and #63 on the German Albums chart. The album would later be certified platinum by Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).

Anarchy spawned the two hit singles: "Fire" and "Get Out!!!".
