3.0 out of 5 stars New twists on classic tracks..., November 8, 2003

This review is from: Diggin in Dah Vaults (Audio CD)

When this album came out, heads had only gotten a taste of the Black Moon. A few years after the release of "Enta Da Stage", came this uniquely appropriate ablum. One thing about the B.C.C, they have (well, HAD) one of the greatest production teams of the early to mid 90's; Da Beatminerz. So it was only right to remix hits after hits. In my eyes, I see this release as more of an EP, rather than a full LP, where more than half the tracks are remixes of "Enta Da Stage" hits. In fact only 5 are original songs.

For one thing, the U Da Man Remix (track #5) feat. Smif-N-Wessun is one of my favorite B.C.C tracks. It's absolutely captivating.
Also the I Got Cha Opin Remix (track #8), was used in the video and is also much better than the original (not to say the original wasn't bangin', I love that track, this one's just much better).
As for the rest of the remixes, I honestly think that the originals are all much better. But hey, they're still good tracks, and you won't know if you don't try.
The original songs on this album are all pretty dope, especially Headz Ain't Redee w/ the whole B.C.C (track #11).

Bottom Line: A perfect album for any fan of Black Moon or the B.C.C. 3 1/2 stars. Peace.

5.0 out of 5 stars You won't find hip hop this real anymore., November 7, 1999

This is one of the best albums I have ever heard. I'm glad them and the Roots are still keeping it real. Buckshot's grimy rap style is addictive as a drug. Evil Dee has untouchable beats and 5ft. plays Pippen to Buckshot's Jordan. Best tracks are "Murder mc's"(worth the album's price alone), "Six feet deep", "Buck em down" and "Son get wrec".

5.0 out of 5 stars Don't Front... Ya Know I Got Cha Opin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, May 12, 2006

Usually remix/b-side joints are okay at best. This one blew it out the box. This album was released shortly after Black Moon broke up and Smif-n-Wessun left Nervous Records. At the time of the release, the BCC fans gave the disc a thumbs down. Now that the dust has settled, this one's been looked at as a great companion to "Enta Da Stage." This is a great collection of B-sides and remixes, including the remix of "I Got Cha Opin" and "Buck 'Em Down."

My only beef and the reason I didn't buy it when it first came out 10 years ago... "Reality (Killin' Every Ni@@a)" was not on the LP. If that song was on there, this LP would be even crazier, but nonetheless IT'S STILL SOLID!!!

Grab ya' Tims and ya' hoodies and remember what "representing" was really about!
