Black Moon STILL represents!!!!, April 22, 2004
Everyone knows what kind of year 2003 was for hip hop. Aside from the decent things that were released, such as Jay-Z's last album, 50 Cent's album, etc, NOTHING came out, and hip hop seems to be getting weaker and weaker EVERYDAY. So, Black Moon, a tight group that's been in the game for a decade now, drops this album in the midst of this wack hip hop that's going on, and they don't disappoint. I wasn't expecting this album to be better than their first album(Enta Da Stage), but it comes close in doing so. Here's the review:Album Highlights: Not too much filler here, but the highlights are Stay Real, Looking Down the Barrel, Fever(an example of a TIGHT song that's TOO SHORT), Confusion, That's The Way S*** Iz, Why We Act This Way, That's How It Iz, Where It Goes Wrong, What Would You Do, Pressure Iz Tight, and This Goes Out To You. Everything else still is worth listening to. Production: Thumbs way up for the Beatminerz' production. Lyrics and Subject Matter: Thumbs up. Buckshot is STILL lyrically gifted today and 5FT lays down some hot lines as well. Originality: Thumbs up. You still get the same old Black Moon here, but it seems so fresh and new(obviously) in a way. The Last Word: Although this album won't achieve the sales figures it deserves, this is still an excellent album from Black Moon. They are tight just the way they are. They don't need to sell out or go pop, and that's way they have such supporters today. You can't ask for much more than that. They stay real, just like the first song on this album says. Strongly recommended.
