4.0 out of 5 stars What it says- This album is Basic Training in tha Boot Camp, January 26, 2005

By 

jerryskate "DJ KLICK" (USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Boot Camp Clik's Greatest Hits: Basic Training (Audio CD)

This is a good hip-hop greatest hits album made by one of the best crews ever to rip the mic. If you are just discovering the BCC (Boot Camp Click), this album is what the title says: "Basic Training" for ya. If you are familiar with the BCC and don't have most of the solo albums, this is a good compilation to give you 13 bangin' tracks to nod ya head to. The BCC groups on this album are: Black Moon-(Buckshot & Evil Dee), Smif-n-Wessun aka Cocoa Brovaz-(Tek & Steele), the now defunct Heltah Skeltah-(Ruck & Rock), and O.G.C.-(Starang Wondah, Louieville Sluggah, & Top Dog). The 4 Black Moon tracks are classic, and the "I Got Cha Opin [Remix]" isn't on their album. The 3 Heltah Skeltah tracks are also incredible, "Leflaur Leflaur Eshkoshka" is my fav. on the CD. Smif-n-Wessun has 3 tracks, "Sound Bwoy Bureill" being my 2nd fav. on the CD. "Black Trump" f/ Raekwon is also a sick song. O.G.C. throws in 2 tracks, 1 from each of their albums, with each song having a different style. I like them both. Finally "Headz Are Reddee, Pt. 2" includes almost the whole click, and is a masterpiece. Good introduction album for newbies, and solid comp. for those without all the solo albums.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Bootcamp Retrospect, March 13, 2001

By 

7th Angl (Ontario, Canada) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Boot Camp Clik's Greatest Hits: Basic Training (Audio CD)

This Boot camp compilation is nicely executed for the most part. It succinctly includes most of the classics by Black Moon and Smif N Wessun, when these groups were signed with Nervous Records, along with tracks by the "newer" school recruits; O.G.C. and Heltah skeltah, when Bootcamp was reassigned to Priority Records. joints like "how many emcees", "who got da props", "I gotcha opin" "bucktown" and "Leflah Lefleur Eshkoshka" capture the essence of this talented clik as backed by Da Beatminerz, but some of the tracks found towards the end of this compilation really attest to Bootcamp weaknesses, as when inferior, outside producers take the helm. I would have also appreciated the inclusion of some material by the Representativz and Buckshot. Overall, though, this album encompasses the Bootcamp Clik's heydays during the mid-nineties and adequately showcases the variance of its ranks, and is therefore worth the purchase.

4.0 out of 5 stars WHY ISN'T THERE BEST SONG ON THIS ALBUM??!!, November 28, 2001

By 

The Yonx "majdi51" (Yonkers, New York United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Boot Camp Clik's Greatest Hits: Basic Training (Audio CD)

I don't understand why Black Moon does not release their spectacular track "Reality (Killing Every...)" on their compilations. In my mind, this is their best work and I think this is my favorite track that they ever made and it is too, too bad it was only released on the "I got cha opin" 12" inch single. What a smooth beat, what nice rhymes. It makes me go crazy everytime they drop a compilation that this song is not on the album and it hasn't gotten too much exposure either or else people would be feeling what I'm feeling. IF BUCKSHOT SHORTY OR ANYONE FROM BLACK MOON IS OUT THERE AND READING THIS, PLEASE LISTEN TO WHAT I AM SAYING TO YOU: GO TO NERVOUS RECORDS AND DEMAND THEM TO RELEASE THIS ON THE NEXT COMPILATION ALBUM BECAUSE YOU KNOW AND I KNOW THIS ONE OF YOUR FAVORITE TRACKS. I tried contacting Nervous, but they gave me the corporate run around. If you haven't heard this track, I HIGHLY advise that you seek it out and do, download it or buy the 12" inch if you can find it until God wakes Nervous and Black Moon's attention to this. By the way, I'm not taking anything away from the other tracks on this album because it's a powerful compilation, but it's missing a major link...God save us!
