DA STORM IZ DA BOMB!!!
This is da best Boot Camp based joint out there (along with da classic Black Moon cd, "Enta Da Stage"). This album is so slammin'!! Every real head into East Coast rap should listen to this album!! O.G.C & da whole Boot Camp Click is HOT!!!! Also check out "Heltah Skeltah - Nocturnal", "Smiff-N-Wessun - Dah Shinin'", "Black Moon - War Zone", "Black Moon - Diggin' in dah Vaults", "Black Moon - Enta da Stage", "Cocoa Brovaz - The Rude Awakening"..peace
DA STORM IS DA BOMB
I have slept on these guys for years but not the rest of Boot Camp. I read some reviews here and decided to try the STORM..It defini9tely feels like its a dark stormy day in NY when I listen to this, the more I hear it the more I like it. Someone wrote that its the worst of the four Boot Camp albums at the time..Thats because Enta Da Stage and Da Shinin are 2 of the toip 20 Hip Hop Albums of all time. The Storm is better than Heltah Skeltahs Nocturnal. Ruck had minimal skills. Starang is the true shiner in OGC. I love how the album has a feel to it. Its an album that should be listened to straight through to get the whole effect. The beats are great, simple and grimy, how hip hop was intended to be. Starang Hurricane is the joint on this one.
Gunn Clappaz...need better Gunnz.
O.G.C (Starang Wondah, Top Dog & Louisville Sluggah), debut in 1996 with "Da Storm". It's a decent album, but should have been much better. Of the four debut albums from the B.C.C (Enta Da Stage, Black Moon. Dah Shinin', Smif-N-Wessun. & Nocturnal, Heltah Skeltah) Da Storm is clearly the worst of the four. It seems like Da Beatminerz (Producers of the album) saved all their best sh*t for the other three groups and O.G.C got the scraps. This was also the last LP of the four to be released, but also nothing was really expected from this trio.On the plus side, this album contains two of my all-time favorite B.C.C tracks: No Fear and Gunn Clapp (both are REDICULOUS, get them any way you can!) And Starang and Louisville are two excellent MC's. But this album just doesn't have the same punch & rawness that the other three posess.
Bottom Line: Get it, it's worth the money. 3 stars. Peace.
not impressed
it's the same old boot camp stuff...no growth. maybe my expectations are too high. i am a boot camp fan, but this? i played this twice when i first bought it (back in 1996) and it is now collecting dust on my cd rack.
The Gunn Clappaz are here!!!
The storm is a dark array tracks bringing the strictly hardcore sound of the underground. In O.G.C.'s debut album, they not only prove that they have a unique sound of their own but that they are not just another group out of the boot camp doing the same old thing. O.G.C. serve their own seperate purpose amongst their B.C.C. comrades. Starang;gunn clapper #1 proves that he is deserving of the title, Louieville and Top Dog provide sufficient darkness to make this group a real group, with each member playing their respective position. This album needs to be peeped by all underground headz, no exceptions allowed.The Boot camp clik is what rap is all about.
