"1-900-Get Da Boot" is the intro which is just answering machine messages from fans who call them from all around the world. These answering machine messages are practically on almost every song. Though there are too many of them, it goes along with the concept of being "for the people."

The opening song is "Down By Law" and features the entire Boot Camp Clik on a short, old school party jam which introduces everybody. This is a dope jam where everybody returns to the old fashioned b-boy style of emcee-ing. It's filled with classic call-response hip-hop sayings and lingo but Buckshot rips it up at the end with a cooler delivery: "I go by the name of the B-D-Buckshot, Here to rock the spot and show you what I got, Now let me see some hands way up in the air real quick , Cause you know B-D-Buck represent Boot Camp Clik, Now when I say I got the here 90-now solution, When I say Revo when I Revo you say lution Reva - Lution, reva- lution ..." There's no chorus to this short song but that's something which makes it perfect. Every emcee shines bright with skills and flows. It's a dope way to start of the album and expresses the fact that they are true to their hiphop roots.

"Night Riders" features La Voice doing the R&B hook. This is a smoothed out, jazzy rimshot track with live instrumentation like jazz guitars. Though I do not like R&B/rap tracks, the jazzy feel of this song is dope and the hook and voice is not annoying: "Night riders, night, night riders, Night riders, night, night riders...."  Though Tek from Cocoa Brovaz does a dope job of rhyming, Buckshot's smooth and smoked out voice steals the show lyrically: "I float, I fly, I walk with the devil by my side. Always and forever stay high..." This is a cool, high, smoked out track for the night time. The live instrumentation is dope too and gives it that jazzy feel.

"Headz Are Reddee Pt. II" is a dope song which features The Great 8 who are Cocoa Brovaz, Heltah Skeltah, OGC, and Buckshot. Everything about this song is dope including the beat, the melody, the chorus, the lyrics, and the delivery. As Rock from Heltah Skeltah uses his deep voice to call out, "All my people, are you ready?".. Buckshot sings with his cool smooth voice, "Are you ready?" over a harpsichord sample which gives it that cool, classical baroque feel. Though everybody does a dope job with lyrics and flows, Ruck and Buckshot steal the show with Rock coming in a close second. Ruck's flow is quick and hard like a fast juggernaut: "From an unknown region, me and my legion , never believe in the evil ways of a heathen, I breathe in, out improve on my physical, trees keep me blessed, prepare for my ritual, its critical when I belittle fools wit syllables, I choose to use cuz yall niggas is pitiful.." Buckshot's lyrics are cool two but they are slightly offbeat... it works well. This is a modern hiphop classic!

"Watch Your Step" features The Representatives doing most of the rhymes while Rock and Louieville Sluggah from OGC on the chorus: Rock: "Yo watch yo step baby" Louieville: "Watch where ya walk" - Rock: "When it’s time for some action" - Louie: "Yo these reps don’t talk" - Rock: "That first step’s a doosy"- Louie: "So watch where ya walk"- Rock: "When it’s time for action" Louie: "Real heads don’t talk.." You may remember this from Teh Boot Camp Clik freestyle from Funk Master Flex's Mix Tape Volume II. This is a cool song but the rhymes and flows of the Reps are not as cool and sharp as the OGC, Heltah Skeltah, Cocoa B's, or Buckshot. This is more like lending them and hand and putting them on. It's a good hardcore track but not as good as the others.

"Illa Noyz" is dope track with a weird, looping bassline and a simple beat. Illa Noyz is a rapper from the BCC. He's good. He's got a cool flow, cool voice and good lyrics. In the chorus, Rock helps him out and when Illa Noyz says, "Yes, it does", Rock says with his deep-ass voice "Sounds ill like noise in Brownsville..." This is repeated over and over again. It sounds cool. I like it better than the previous song. Ruck and Ruck kick some dope rhymes on this joint.  Rock kicks a dope rhyme with a dope flow: "Yo, who is this dufis?  Thinking their ruthless - Broccoli your toothless- Now you sound and look stupid- You get your head spun around like a screw just- For being the only girl in the town full of men like smurfette -Little blue b*tch..." Rock's partner from Heltah Skeltah kicks some dope rhymes too with a dope flow. They totally steal the song from Illa Noyz... Ruck's rhyme goes a little like this: "Whats the issue? The issue is the topic at hand - N*ggas rip and never say sh*t when the shot in my hand -Got the upperhand brotherman -Sift through the knowledge -God cipher divine rhymes will shine like poolish..." This is a dope hardcore song which is at a perfect length... not too short, not too long. It's a shame it's called "Illa Noyz" even though Ruck and Rock completely steal the track.

"Rag Time", produced by Boogie Brown, is a dope, smoked out joint which has a commercial-dance feel. The slow beat and the keyboard flows as the chorus is song by the BCC like they were R&B singers... They make it work well: "You better come down, you better come on down..." is sung as the others rap with a cool, mellow voice: "Come on everybody let's all get down, come on everybody let's all get down, what we bring to you is a Boot Camp sound..." It's a great slow dance song with some dope rhymes. A female rapper, Mutha Rucka does a pretty cool job of rhyming but toward the end, LS (I think) does a dope job with simple rhymes but a great flow which sounds a little like Busta Rhymes: "Let me demonstrate how I get down -N*ggas, grab your nutz, I know I got you in the clutch, may be if we dance a little closer we could touch, private parts and such... Imagine like Merlin, we're swurving, off the highway, in my black Suburban..." The rhyme is dope...Every Emcee does a good job on this long jam.. The singing on it is actually very good.. When it all stops, the beat continues alone and then, the answering madchine messages end the song. It's a cool joint...

"Blackout" is another dope song about smoking out and getting high. The chorus is cool, everyone starts singing/rapping: "I'm falling, I'm falling, I'm falling, blackout's calling (me).." The beat flows very cool and the bassline is almost demonic. There is a lifting quality to the song which gives it a great atmosphere. Starang Wondah from OGC has a great line when he raps: "OK, now we out on the FDR- we both stoned out our minds, we probably won't get far..." There is even a call-response segment where Rock leads the vocals: "Cocoa B's will make ya...BLACK OUT - Tawl Sean will make ya...BLACK OUT- -Ben Grimm will make ya...BLACK OUT- Everybody will make ya...BLACK OUT- The Boot Camp will make ya...BLACK OUT- Oh yeah baby...BLACK OUT.." This is a dope hip hop song! There's even a part at the end where they blow someone's nostrils out with cheeba smoke.. I like it because it's not your average weed smoking song. There are a good number of people on it like The Pharcyde's "Pack The Pipe" and they use the term "Blackout" to symbolize their state of inebriation. This is a dope jam!!!

"Ohkeedoke" is an upbeat hip-hop jam with added drums in the background. The beat is dope and the lyrics are cool! The chorus has a good, strong call-response vocal which is done by Tek, MS, Starang, & the others all together: "[Starang]:Now in the back of my mind, yo I really do hope -[Tek]:that motherfuckers out here don't take my crew for no joke- [MS]:'cause if our backs against the wall, then we goin' for broke - [All]:but we'll never fall victim to the  - OHKEEDOKE! -[Starang]:It goes on and on annd on and on- [All]:you keep on, and you don't stop -[Starang]Yo, it goes on and on and on and on- [All]: You keep on and you don't stop..." It's a great song with a great beat. Starange kicks some dope rhymes on this track with a dope flow: "N*ggas say Starang's smooth, just like ice without cube - I'm nice without dudes, on my motherf*ckin' track - n*ggas call me Starang, others call me Jack - but if you call and I'm not home, you caan call me back - but no matter where i'm at, I always rock the show- the n*ggas next up on the mic, y'all n*ggas gots to go..." The answering machine messages return at the end of this song as the beat goes on alone...

"Rugged Terrain" is a pure reggee/hip-hop jam featuring Twanie Ranks, Top Dawg and Cocoa Brovaz. This is a dope, original jam! Their deep accents do not get in the way. It adds a fresh flavor to the album. All of them do it with Jamacain/reggee accents for the vibe. Though there's not a direct chorus, this is repeated: "We are the wickedest, wickedest guns from New York! We are the wickedest, wickedest men -we don't care.." Top Dawg kicks a dope rhyme using a direct English accent too to balance the track out: "When Jah rocks the party, leave him your shotty, we got soldiers on watch, they don't wanna hurt nobody, worldwide,... you know the place to be is on my motherf*ckin' side..." This is a great song!  From here on in, the album gets a little weaker. There were so many dope tracks that now, the weaker ones follow.

"The Dugout" is a slow beat which is just rhymed over by Louisville as Buckshot does the chorus: "Louie-louie- oh-oh, you gotta let em know. gotta let em know.." The scratches are dope but there should have been more people on this jam since it's a BCC album. It's also a little too long.

"Go For Yours" is a bouncy jam which features the B.T.J's (Buck Town Juvies). "I'm gonna go for mine - so son, go for yours!" They flow good and the sentiments of the song are good but the lack of the regular BCC weakens the joint. This should be on a DuckDown compilation and not this BCC album.

"Likkle Youth Man Dem" is a bonus track on the cd which has OGC, Cocoa Brovaz, and Buckshot over a cool beat and a guitar and keyboards. Buckshot does the chorus, which is just alright: "Come on, ride with me, smoke freely, on the other side of the Timberland tree, you can walk with me, be who ya be, on the other side of the Timberland tree.." The use of "Timberland" tree is kind of wack in my opinion.. This song is directed to the youth as well as the cats who use the word "God" in their slag vocabulary all the time. It's an intelligent song but not as strong as the others.

"Last Time" is a very weak song featuring F.L.O.W on the hook singing: "This is the last time I will, ever struggle. This is the last time, I will ever fall..." The beat is weak and the R&B singers are lame though the hook's sentiments are good. This song is about the hard times which they all endured in the ghetto. The reality is ill and hardcore but the beat and hook ruin the song.

Overall, the BCC's album is dope besides the last couple of songs. With the exception of "Last Time, every beat on the album is good. Basslines like "Illa Noyz" and "Blackout" are very hypnotic and addictive while original sounds like the harpsichord in "Headz Are Reddee Pt. II" are dope! Lyrically, the  well-known BCC members all do an excellent job having regular hip-hop jams and songs with different meanings and various topics. They stick to the themes which carries the songs well. A very cool thing about the album is that the BCC members are scattered all around the songs, mix-matched together for a more family sound. The production  is tight though they should have used many more scratches like on "The Dugout" but for the most part, tight beats, basslines, and samples add to the quality. BCC are a very original and innovative hip-hop group. Using weird sounds like harpsichords and using different genres of hip-hop make them very versitile.This is evident in the begining when they start with that old school jam called "Down By Law" and lead into a rimshot jazzed out "Night Riders".  The R&B hooks, like on "Last Time" do sound typical and slightly commercial. The crew's rhyming talent carries the song when the beat and hooks do not. The album flows nice with it's versitality but many of the songs are too long like "The Dugout", "Go For Yours", and "Last Time". Though the answering machine messages add the family feel and display their dedicated fan base, they are used too much and begin to sound a little like filler. The main problem is that many of the songs, though different in style in performers, are too long because the main part ends and then, the beat continues on leaving answering machine messages and little skits to be played. They should have just ended... The Boot Camp Clik are hardcore since they are straight from the streets and they are not sellouts. Guns, weed, sex, violence, jail,  and the street are the primary topics which are delivered with honesty and integrity. Self-pitying songs like "Last Time" and the condescending "Likkle Youth Man Dem" weaken their hardcore feel but it's made up with songs like "Blackout" and "Heads Are Reddee". It would have been much harder if they did not use R&B singers like The Flipmode Squad's "The Imperial". Overall, this album has something for everybody... new fans and dedicated souljahs! Most of the songs are dope and the bad ones are not horrible... they just are easy to skip. There are much more dope songs than bad ones though. I must give it to them, they are a hiphop phenomenom which the hip-hop world needs in this commercialied times.  It's just what we need. The album did go gold and I am proud of them. If they used the basic great 8 in all of the songs, songs like "Go For Yours" would be better. Still, they deliver quality product and Boot Camp is a name you can depend on in the rap world. So, listen up people! Boot Camp Clik is here and they're here for you!
