Old School Hip-Hop Review - Black Moon - "enta da stage"

1993 - (Nervous Records) Who got the props!! When this album came out Black Moon was already a force in the game. "Props" was already a huge single and Buckshot had taken his seat as one of the premiere emcees. Along with 5ft and DJ Evil D the three of them made was huge impact on the backpacker rapper. This album was full of jams that you could just listen to and feel like Hip-Hop was going somewhere. I Got Cha Opin (Remix) and How Many MC's were huge as well for the group. With it's smooth sounds and melodic flows from Buckshot there was no way you could deny Black Moon. All the way to the top, they had the momentum to take the rap game by storm. This record has to go into my top 50 of all time. I haven't comprised a list of that because there is too much good music from the old school to narrow it down, but if I was making a list this album would be in it. Make no mistake, Black Moon may be a forgotten group and haven't had much success since "Who Got The Props", but their legacy will live on through this first album and solidify themselves as powerhouse in the year of 1993-94.
