Kickin it Old Skool

So I've been doing a lot of iPod reorganizing as of late, and I'm either reminiscent for youth or developing a new appreciation for some already admired classics from the crates of early 90's rap and hip-hop. We'll start the week off with Black Moon.



Buckshot's a highly underrated emcee, most notably shown throughout their debut album "Enta Da Stage." Not that he doesn't get much deserved respect, but his name isn't as household as others of his time (Q-Tip, Eric Sermon, etc). These guys suffered the unfortunate fate of being any rap act other than the Wu-Tang Clan during 1993. Had "Enter the 36 Chambers" not dropped right at the same time as Black Moon's first foray, we might have heard a lot more from Buckshot & Co. Just as well, they remain as concise and smooth as ever, and run a pretty strong spot in the indie-rap world. As of late, they've ended up on their own label, and seem to be picking up a string of solid acts to boot. The stuff Buckshot's done with 9th Wonder is a definite addition to any mix, and "Who Got Da Props" (as seen above) is a tried and true classic.
