“Who got da props” and “I got cha open” feels like a magical early 90s time capsule whenever I listen. Still in my music library

[@HoodaVille_973]

💯💯💯 I'm 4️⃣3️⃣ yrs old Born & raised.....Boot Camp Click is BEYOND UNDERRATED‼️‼️‼️

[@malcomshabazz2809]

Facts. That shit just puts you in a trance. The 90s was a different type of energy.

[@booshine187]

Tru 95 live was my year

[@badnewzscubasteve]

Yes... I remember walking to my local record store and buying "Enta Da Stage" cassette ,ripping the plastic open and poppin it in my Aiwa walk man and bangin that shitnall the way home.. 1993.. 9th grade.. what a time to be alive

[@idriselbow2977]

D@MN THESE YOUNG HEADS WILL NEVER UNDERSTAND THE MAGIC FEELINGS OF THAT ERA !!!!!

[@StLaRok]

I’ve been WAITING for Buckshot to sit in the chair ever since Tek and Steele was there. I only wish Dru Ha was there too to piggyback off the energy with Buck. I’m loving the way this story is building!

[@KtotheG]

Boot Camp Clique, Diggin In The Crates Crew, Das Efx, Grand Puba, Redman, Keith Murray, etc... they all used to rock backpacks, which kinda gave name to the label "backpack rap." Then later on "backpack rap" merged with "nerd rap" and became a caricature in the early '00s with the advent of textcees on rap message boards, some of who were able to get indie deals

Im so glad to share a little part of history with Blackmoon. My cuz was Eddie Masheddie and he was the rode manager and i went to alot of shows. Most memorable moment...power 99 in Philly. me, buck, ant and evil D thats it. Buck freestyles some wild shit telling everybody who got a problem with bootcamp to come down to the radio station because bootcamp was 100 deep...that was a lie!! It was me and Ant in the Duckdown van eating Burger king and we heard that freestyle and were scared for the next hour!! It was right after the beef with Biggie...shit was crazy..it was only us 2 in the fucking van 😂😂😂😂 thank God nobody showed up 😂😂😂😂 thats my story 🙏 ✌️

That album is a CLASSIC. I remember listening to this album in junior high school walking to the B44 on Nostrand Ave in my sony Walkman (portable cassette player) like this is amazing . I love HIP HOP!

[@KtotheG]

[@baazbana]

My favorite part of this interview

[@frank-xp6pj]

Yo Math, Thank you for having such a legend like Buckshot on your show 🙏 my two favorite emcees of all time are Rakim & Buckshot….i hope you have Rakim on the show next & if you can have the infamous Paid n Full posse up there with Ra that would be so monumental….I hear people talk about the back of that album cover having arguably the best & most iconic photo on it with Rakim & some pretty iconic people from the streets of NewYork city on it 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@maroon9273]

Enter da stage really is a landmark album and changed the hip hop sound. Also, started east coast renneissance era (which started emerging in late 1992 and taking the industry by storm in 1993) alongside baccdafucup and 36 chambers.

[@AG-xt6ei]

Big facts

[@jomarcoliverman4971]

That was a dope time In life for me. enta the stage was definitely a part of the soundtrack for my life at that time. Classic classic album

[@patrickoakley7890]

That story about lying his way to an internship sounds like some shit out of a comedy sketch 😂

[@patrickoakley7890]

How Many MCs? was the hardest track of 93 to me. You could even credit that record for bringing the grimy sound back to NY after years of jazzy New Jack Swing records.

[@maroon9273]

And those James brown inspired samples in the early 90s.

[@stephenheath8465]

That Enter Stage Album set off that NYC dark lane for Mobb Deep ,CNN, Big L ,MOP, Smooth Da Hustler

[@jomarcoliverman4971]

I gotta give that to onyx fam they were the ones who bought that grimey and dark sound to ny hip hop.

[@Bdphonorat]

Yo this episode gonna be a classic love Buckshot

[@rikers263]

These were the joints, i still listen to these records. Maria often tied to helping artist break through

[@foggylungs]

1 thing about Boot Camp, they popularized ebonic spellings. Enta Da Stage, I Got U Opin, hell, Heltah Skeltah and the list goes on.

[@jomarcoliverman4971]

Naw fam kwame started popularized that in the late 80’s early 90’s songs like ownlee u and oneovdabigboiz, whoz dat guy lol. I remember writing notes in class like that to different girls so the teachers and their parents couldn’t translate them.

[@X-Foundation]

😅😅😅😅😅 buckshot said, Im here for the job lol. Funny but so true. Those broke days are real!!!!! 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅 2024

[@medaanhil4133]

This makes so much sense. I always speculated he changed due to weed. His flow was different. He changed I gotcha open and I never liked that version as much as the original.

[@enes3166]

Buckshot has had at least 3 different syles in his rapping career, the "Who Got Da Props" Buckshot isn't anywhere near as agressive and militant as the Buckshot you get on most of Enta Da Stage, he reminds me of a lion on that album with his booming roar of a vocal tone and delivery. Then when they did those revamped singles spring 1994 his style was totally different, he was laid back and mystical. The breath control on those records is truly outta this world, he packs so many words in there and his voice remains calm, it isn't easy for rappers to change their style up and evolve but he did it twice in a really short period of time. It was really dope to me to have these interviews released around the 30th anniversary of the release of those singles and videos, "Bucktown" by Smif N Wessun which has Buckshot on it was a really hot single that spring/summer too.
