Busta Rhymes rapped his way into a ticket last night when cops caught him yakking on his cellphone while driving, police said. The superstar recording artist was spotted on the phone as he cruised past the Midtown North police station on W. 54th St. about 7p.m., cops said. The 34-year-old rapper, whose real name is Trevor Smith, has had other brushes with the law. He was notoriously uncooperative with investigators after his bodyguard, Israel Ramirez, 29, was gunned down in Brooklyn during the video shoot for Rhymes’ "Touch It (Remix)" last February. Then, in August, Rhymes was charged with assault for allegedly pummeling a Bronx man who spat on the rapper’s auto in Chelsea.
