- Today’s feature is a group from the 90s featuring Buckshot, 5ft, and DJ Evil Dee, that became one of my favorites from the underground scene. Their music is highly respected in that space, and one listen to their latest “Rise Of The Black Moon” album, released in 2019 will help you understand why. Their lyrical skill as artist that’s been around 30+ years is still flawless in delivery, subject matter, and creative originality. Add to that, production from their longtime producer and DJ Evil Dee aged just as well, or even better since making the switch to more Lo-Fi instrumentation. Not too many of today’s era know about Black Moon, and even some from their era don’t remember how much potential and expectations to be the next to blow from New York they had in the 90s. Their first album is considered an underground classic. While it didn’t go platinum and create a ship this group could sail comfortably into mainstream household names, it did and does receive grand reviews from album critics and hip hop purest. An argument can be made that Black Moon is the best group from the early 90s that’s still together and still rapping in hip hop today, releasing some of their best work as time went on. What happened to Black Moon though? They seemed to have it all but never really blew for these reasons. What Happened To Black Moon? Lost Greats Of The 90s! Stunted Growth Music

Black moon, Smif-n-Wesson ,Heltah Skelta, OGC... BOOT CAMP was the cliq! I gotcha Open (Remix) STAYS in rotation!
Coming from Brownsville where most of the group comes from and was a teenager in the early to mid '90s there's no stunted growth they never tried to go mainstream they saw what Diddy was doing & they wanted no parts of that they knew their lane they never broke up the reason why they never fell apart is because they had their own record label and management company before anyone back then even thought about ownership that's how they maintained for 30 years now.
Man that first album is hip hop in its purest form
Who Got Da Props still slaps. One of my favorite songs since 10th grade and I'm 45 now.
I was a teenager during this time. In the 90s it was all about being real. It's completely opposite now. They weren't stunted. They just didn't sell out.
Buckshot had 1 of the coolest rap voices I've ever heard.
Damn! I was a huge fan of the era of music! The 90s. Hip-hop at it's purest form. BARS and sound mattered.
Sean Price RIP threw Duckdown on his back and kept it going. Buckshot did the Don't Front remix with Em. For a few years I literally only listened to Wu and BCC
I never thought of them as stunted. I always thought of them as real hiphop.
I still listen to enta da stage true hip hop head classic but iykyk
Who got the props and how many MC’s is STILL in rotation
It was a HIP HOP CLASSIC…not just underground
I can't fully say they were stunted .. at least not Buckshot. The deal w/ Nervous taught buck about the bizness and led to him and Drew starting duckdown.. it moved him more into a business roll and allowed him to put other groups on. As far as I'm concerned, he's still winning.
Salute to Black Moon. Some of the greats from the 90s still doing it and didn't conform to the modern sound of hip hop. Their "Rise of Da Moon album released in 2019 is still fire!!
If you're just focusing on the group itself, stunted growth may apply. But if you're talking about the whole BCC and Duck Down, their impact on the industry and how long they have been together shows something of growth that hasn't been stunted. Smiff -N-Wessun, OGC, Heltah Skeltah, and Buckshot himself as executive has branded themselves as legends in the game at this point. Beyond Black Moon, the whole Duck Down camp has been relevant in hip hop for almost 30 years. Good video with good points being made, but don't really agree with stunted growth as it goes deeper than just Black Moon. Similar to the Wu Tang and GZA videos you made a while back ago. Some artists are destined to not go mainstream as it may not be a good fit for them and can still be successful and that's the end goal no matter where your placement is
I remember stand in the back yard with my brother and his best friends listening to black moons first album on cd on repeat astonishing us with there style.
During my childhood, my entire life revolved around Boot Camp Clik as well as Wu. U have to make a stunted growth video about BCC. All that talent, I’m still hurt that they weren’t more successful commercially.
During quarantine I found out about Black Moon, I was just tryna find out more about how Hip Hop was in the 90s to add on my playlist, then I ran into "Who Got Tha Props" that shit made me instantly get attached to Black Moon, it's crazy how they never got mainstream because they would've took over.
Black moon first album was great!!!!!! All songs were fire
I still has this CD! Yes it was a classic yet because it debuted the same year as Doggystyle and Wu it went relatively under the radar commercially. You can HEAR the sound of east coast rap changing from song to song ON THIS ALBUM! For that reason alone it is culturally significant.
