Video: Black Moon During The Recording of Enta Da Stage




Enta Da Stage is definitely one of those hip hop albums that made me wonder what was going on in the studio when it was produced, I'm sure listeners of all musical genres can relate to that feeling of imagining their favorite artist's studio atmosphere. I always imagined a scene in Brooklyn that was broken down to the most basic elements of hip hop: 2 turntables, a mic, a great selection of vinyl records and creative minds coming from a street background. This is a rare look at Evil Dee, Buckshot Shorty and 5ft in the process of recording one song for the album, then it goes straight into the video for I Got You Open. The whole scene looks like their working with limited resources just cranking out music, which is what I always appreciate about looking back on the beginnings of certain artists who left a significant mark in the creation of hip hop music.

Speaking on the vid for I Got You Open, it reminds me...Black Moon and Boot Camp bring some of the best representation of the feeling of winter life in New York from the perspective of inner city residents like myself, through their videos I Got You Open, Bucktown etc. and the visuals in the music. That may or may not be something you can relate to unless you grew up in NY: albums that have some sort of unexplainable winter, street feel that makes you want to listen to it during that season.

Just like it was described in "Check The Technique". They had a limited budget and used their time wisely to make real, raw hip-hop. 'Enat Da Stage' is definitely a cold weather fall/winter album. By the way, GZA's 'Liquid Swords' album is my ultimate late fall/early winter album. Something about it puts me in that 'cold' mood and I can't listen to it in the spring and summer. I tried to explain 'seasonal' music to my wife last year, but being from New Orleans, she just doesn't get it. In the areas with all four seasons, like here in Philly, we have our seasonal music mood swings.
