Duck Down showing no signs of falling off!

"I, in conjunction with thousands(if not more)of Black Moon fans waiting for this album to drop. I was not dissapointed. With their lead single "Stay Real", Buckshot and the boys show that they have no intention of going commercial or selling out. Other standout tracks are, "That'z The way s___ iz", "How We Do It", "Where It Goes Wrong", and "This Goes Out To You". If it wasn't for tracks that just didn't bring the same energy and rawness and the aforementioned ones, I would have easily gotten five stars. Duck Down has yet to drop a wack album since their reemergence in the scene. Check out Boot Camp Click "Chosen Few" and "Collect Dis Edition"."

HOT HOT HOT

"Why is is that artists like Black Moon are slept on??? Why is that no talent ass Ja Rule more famous than these cats?? Black Moon is HOT. These guys have been around for a while now and have never sold out for fame and fortune. This album is great. The beats are nasty and, as always, Buckshots lyrics are sick. I HIGHLY recommend this album."

Today's forecast.......a total eclipse

"I have loved Black Moon since their 1993 release Enta Da Stage and I was one of those fans that hoped and prayed that they wouldnt fall off the face of the Earth after one album. I was far from disappointed. Black Moon released their second album "Warzone"(see review), the greatest hits album "Diggin in dah Vaults"(see review) and then Black Moon returns full circle with "Total Eclipse"...this album has vintage Black Moon written all over it. The trio's frontman Buckshot returns with full force lyrically and nothing has changed since 1993 except Buckshot perfecting his craft. DJ Evil Dee and the Beatminerz bring back that grimy production that has made them household names. My favorite cut among the many that sticks out would be "Stoned Iz The Way" displays Buckshot's on time delivery and the chorus is well placed. As a fan, I am far from disappointed and could only hope that Black Moon will continue to put out that real hip hop for true fans to enjoy."

Black Moon STILL represents!!!!

"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."

Best Album of 2003

HipHopFanatic | New Jersey | 10/15/2004

"Black Moons latest offering puts the Black Album to shame! This album, along with Gangstarr's newest is definitely the best of 2003. For those who were disappointed with their last album Warzone, Black Moon takes it back to Enta Da Stage with this one. The first song, Stay Real made the hair on the back of my neck stand up, yo! Just Blaze later took that beat for Jay-Zs interlude on the black album, but it sounds better with Buckshot and 5 Ft. rapping over it. Da Beatminerz produce most of the album with help from Coptic, Moss and others. Guests are all in-crew and include Smif n' Wessun, Starang and Sean Price. Every song is fat, you can listen to this album from start to finish. A breath of fresh air in a time when hip-hop is being saturated with corny overproduced pop music."
