Rolling Stones Top 200 Rap Albums of All-Time - ENTA DA STAGE by Black Moon

 

The number generator spit out #141, which is Enta Da Stage by Black Moon, released in 1993.  I was in college then, and loving the Hip-Hop/R&B scene that was coming out, and I somehow had missed this one, so I was sooo looking forward to hearing it for the first time.  To me, it sounds very much like a product of its time.  Just listening to it and you would never have to tell me in what era it was released.



First Track:  Powaful Impak!

Start:  A very strong start.  Sounds akin to something the Fu-Schnickens would put out.

Best Attribute:  Strong beats - again very reminiscent of the early 90s jazz/fusion rap, or conscious rap.
Worst Attribute:  Some very trite, boring lines, like "I'm a full course meal ur a one dollar hero."

Best Song:  Niguz Talk Shit - I loved the trumpet on this song, along with the entire background.
Worst Song:  Buck Em Down - It sounds exactly like the title makes you think it would sound

Most Interesting Song:  U Da Man - I thought that I was listening to the Lost Boyz
Most Interesting Quality:  The interplay between Buckshot and Smif-n-Wessun on Black Smif-n-Wessun

Would I listen again: Probably, but only after I grew tired of other time period conscious rap

Who would I like to Re-Make/Re-Imagine this Album:  A Tribe Called Quest

Rolling Stone Ranking:  141
My Current Ranking:  1 (Since it is the first!)
Projected Final Ranking:  Not knowing what is coming next, maybe 160
