5.0 out of 5 stars BOOT CAMP IS BACK!, October 9, 2002

well, i must say i have been anticipating this album for a while, and even though things werent that loud from Duck Down Records for a couple years, they break the silence considerably well with this release. The album starts off with an intro and sets the mood for the whole album, which is for all the haters, doubters, fair wheather fans, wack djs, wack mc's, radios that dont support true hip hop, record companies that have cheated them in the past and those that are too afraid to sign people with real talent to eat a fat veiny one! Seems the purpose of this album is to prove everyone wrong and after u hear it u can tell they will. I feel the more i listen to it, the more it will become classic BCC material like their past releases. My favorite tracks are Had it up 2 here, And So, Whoop His A**, and Thats Tough. I really like the rest of the tracks. ALthough I was hoping for a better beat from Hi-Tek, the MC's saved the song (Ice Skate). Thats the only track that i feel hasnt grown on me yet, other than that i consider this another hip hop classic and give it a solid 9 out of 10 and a must have for old, and new fans, or just for people who want to listen to some good, real, catchy, phat hip hop.

4.0 out of 5 stars actually 4 & 1/2 stars, October 16, 2002

The BCC is back again, but this time narrowed down to 7 guys.It turns out that Rock (of Heltah Skeltah) is out but it's almost more of a blessing in disguise than it seems. The remaining members really pull together to give BCC fans what they've always wanted.Unlike their last group effort where songs with the whole posse seemed scarce, on the new one every member of the crew is practically on every song.Ruck reigns supreme over the rest of the camp and you realize this guy don't need Rock as his partner no more(Sean Price solo album MONKEY BARS comin' soon). Buckshot & Steele(of smif n wessun) step it up a notch lyrically compared to recent efforts.Top Dog (of O.G.C.) is also holding it down nicely for a majority of the album.Another step up with this album is in the beat making department.They got ALCHEMIST,Hi Tek,Curt Cazel laces "And So", and they link back up with the Beatminerz who have also been making heaters for none other than KRS One (Ova Here) & Krumbsnatcha (Closer to god pt.2)as of late. Overall I feel the group has elevated there styles lyrically and they got some of the best behind the boards.Don't sleep.

5.0 out of 5 stars BCC strike back with vengance!, October 18, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Chosen Few (Audio CD)

Its been 3 years since Duck Down Records released an album. The wait was over on October 8th with this album the Chosen Few by The Boot Camp Clik. The album featured Buckshot of Black Moon, Tek N Steele from Smif N Wessun aka Cocoa Brovaz, Sean Price aka Ruck from Heltah Skeltah and OGC(Starang Wondah, Louieville Sluggah, Top Dog. The album also features Supreme of the Repz, Illa Noyz, Jahdan and Scratch from the Roots. On the lyrical stand point everybody on mic hold it down.

They all stepped they game up because they had a lot to prove especially Top Dog and Louieville because people were saying they were the weak links of the BCC. Buckshot put the critics/haters to rest with his performance. Tek N Steele, Sean P and Starang all represented like they always have. Production comes from The Alchemist, Beatminerz, Baby Paul, Hi-Tek, Bink, Curt Cazel, Coalition, Coptic Sounds, Ty Dezal.

The flow and blend of the album has a little bit for everybody to digg. From hardcore boot camp fans to new people who never heard of the clik before. So copped this joint and expand with WWBCC, you wont be disappointed you did. Hit up Duckdown.com or Bucktownusa.com if you want the lastest info about the BCC.

PS. All the heads asking where Rock is? All the members of the BCC wanted him on the album. Rock could of been on this album, but he chose not to be on it because he wanted to concentrate on his solo career and side projects. Check out...for more about Rock!
