Throwback: Black Moon

It has been a while since we did a ‘Throwback’ feature here at 84/85 so I decided to to bring it back with some classic early 90′s hip hop by Black Moon. These guys were some of my favorites when I was just getting into rap, they were such classic grimy New York Underground hip-hop. The group consisting of Buckshot, 5 ft, and DJ Evil Dee, coming out of Brooklyn in the early 1990′s these guys reached underground fame and some mainstream popularity with some chart hits. The group released their debut album in 1993 with ‘Enta Da Stage’ with its main hits being ‘Who Got the Props’, ‘I Got Cha Opin’, and ‘How Many MC’s.’ Their next release followed later in 1999 with the album titled ‘Warzone’, then finally ‘Total Eclipe’ was their last release as Black Moon. Buckshot went on to form Duckdown records and the Boot Camp Clik, comprised of Heltah Skeltah and O.G.C. making up one of the most influential groups of the 90′s. Here are a few more of my favorite Blackmoon videos after the jump…

Lifelike Sundays

this remix comes in on a bit of a darker note, with more introspection and less of the happy dance from Mr. Heinrich. I personally would close my eyes and put my hands in the air on a dancefloor to this tune, but most would prefer the headphone treatment.. either way, it goes to show the variety of sound that Lifelike can flex in his production. enjoy.
