Product Description
From Amazon.com
Boot Camp Clik's Heltah Skeltah turn out willfully low-tech, floss-free music. The duo's philosophy ("Undastand / To be the man ain't even in the plan") is sort of a corner-dweller's adaptation of Tribe's credo ("beats, rhymes & grime"), with a hefty dose of weed and some potential violence thrown in for good measure. Noted underground producers, including Evil Dee, Mr. Walt, and the Alkaholiks' very own E-Swift, help give form to the album's snaky vibe, which progresses under palpable clouds of blunt smoke. Ruc and Roc's lyrics are not overly complex, centering on cipher battles ("Clan's, Posse's, Crew's & Clik's"), turf wars ("Grate Unknown"), and an amusingly wack attempt at a booty call ("Getting' Ass, Getting' Ass"). The criminally underrated Vinia Mojica, also heard gracing Common's hipster classic, Like Water for Chocolate gets some run here, singing the hook on "Therapy." --Rebecca Levine

3rd installment from Boot Camp Clik,
By
This review is from: Nocturnal (Audio CD)
Back in 96 hip hop was beginning to change. 1990-95 NYC was strong and emcees had to bring major skills & beats to get on. But now Death Row and Bad Boy were going over the top and things were shifting over to commercialised styles just to shift units. The BCC weren't going in for all this with 'Nocturnal', the debut album by the natty dread wearing duo of Heltah Skeltah. These guys build on the foundation BCC created with the debut albums by Black Moon and Smif-N-Wessun, and although its not a classic like those two albums, it is pure hip hop and 100% street. 'Nocturnal' is what you would call a beats & rhymes album. As with most BCC the emcees are gruff sounding, and the beats are rugged. The whole album seems clouded by a heavy mist of weed smoke, and the pair sound blunted when trading rhymes. (And yeah I dig the references to Lennox Lewis) This is a near-classic album that has looked better & better in time with the decline of hip hop. After this the Beatminerz didn't produce as much for BCC and things began to decline. If your into real hip hop and liked anything with the BCC logo on it, you need to check this album out. A Bud-Smokers Essential.

Man, I remember it like it was yesterday. Commercial rap got the gunn clap and the BCC rained supreme. After the click dropped two back to back "very underrated classics" in Enta Da Stage and Da Shinin, they hit us with Nocturnal. Rock and Ruck had two different styles that complimented each other well. And with Da Beatminerz on production, you new it was going to be dope. There is no filler on the album (amazing how rare it is now), so cop it.

This review is from: Nocturnal (Audio CD)
yo, the BCC deliver another certified hip hop classic with this joint. this classic LP features ruck and rock in their prime, forming like voltron, backed by butter beats provided by evil dee and the beatminerz. yo for real, they just don't make albums like this anymore, the type of mid-90's hip hop joint that you can throw on and listen to all the way through. not a wack joint on here. i love the dark back alley vibe on this album, ruck and rock have, in my opinion, some of the best deliveries/flows/voices in hip hop! rock's monsterous presence on the MIC will make you tremble in your timbos while ruck's snake-like flow shoots venomous lyrics in your earhole. they complement each other like bread and butter, clouds and thunder. for real... twist a tree to dis and vibe out... classic
