"Temporary Forever" is an abstract rap album by hip hop artist Busdriver. It was released in 2002 on the Temporary Whatever label. The album features the fast paced, humorous and often surreal and non-sequitur lyrics of Busdriver with guest appearances by Aceyalone, 2mex, Xololanxinxo, Radioinactive and Rhetoric. The tracks "New Aquarium" and "Wrong Route" do not contain Busdriver lyrics at all, instead being sampled dialogue on top of beats. "New Aquarium" contains a montoge conversation sampled from the 1980s cult film Repo Man, while "Wrong Route" contains an apparent news report on an incident of a bus driver kidnapping a bus-load of school children. Most of the tracks were recorded and mixed by Daddy Kev who, along with Busdriver, was also the album's executive producer. All scratching on the album was done by D-Styles.
