"Intro " is short and sweet saying they they are in D&D recording studio. There's some sample of someone talking about the Moon. It's not amazing but there's nothing wrong with it.

"The Onslaught" {featuring Busta Rhymes} is a dope, hardcore jam with a wild & hypnotic bassline and a crazy noisy melody. Buckshot kick some dope rhymes and Busta does the very energetic chorus in his very angry way. This is a dope song! According to Duckdown.com, this is one of Buckshot's favorite songs on the new joint.

"War Zone"  is a hardcor joint too. This was a single and was  put out on the special extra CD that came with Heltah Skeltah's "Magnum Force" This version does NOT have Rock from Heltah Skeltah on it!} Rock (Da Rockness Monsta) is only on the Outro, which is the end hook from the original version of "War Zone"...  On the album version of "War Zone", there's no chours.. No Rock doing the hook "... Either run with us or run into us.Claiming it's beef but it's love when we be at your door.... You want beef? Well, here's war!!!"  On the album version, there's no chorus (no Rock)... Just the sound of channels changing.. It's still a cool song with an amazing beat.. The beat is amazing with wild effects and a cool bassline. Buckshot kicks it off, 5ft is in the middle and then, Buck ends it. Buckshot steals the entire song: "Through the dusty winds, I must begin, ...starting on a new mission.." The ghetto is a war zone and this song is violent yet cool.

"This Is What It Sounds Like (Whirlwind)" is much more mellow with Buckshot singing the chorus: "This is what it sounds like when you're caught in a whirlwind.."  It's a cool and mellow song both stoned out and menacing at the same time. Buckshot kicks some dope verses: "Buck flow with the speed of a bobsled; bust lead to the head, plus I stay red. Everytime I think about the dead, I think about what Makaveli said, fight for the ones who bled in this MC¹s shit, we agree, shit got out of hand, but that aint stop the plan. Uneffective, no respect for this. But my perspective is those who walk the straight and narrow; we can rule the the land like pharrow. Plus enjoy the bone to the marrow. Delicious, eat an MC for breakfast. Break fast, shatter niggas dreams like glass. I ask how many niggas wanna get with this shit. Mix the booze and sip with this...."  This is a song that will grow on you. I'm not all amped on it now but I can see diggin' it about a month or two from now.

"Freestyle"  is a thick joint which is a freestyle. Buckshot's rhymes are so tight and delivered so well, it's sounds like a tightly rehearsed song. Though there's no real chorus.. Buck does a dope job of lyrics.

"Five" (Interlude) is a short interlude of 5ft being interviewed by 88hiphop.com.

"For All Ya'll" {Featuring Heather B}, is a hardcore joint with no Buckshot. Heather B doesn't even rhyme. It's all 5ft. Heather B just yells in the background as the chorus is Heather B's scratched and sampled voice yelling: "For-for-for-for all ya'll  n*ggaz.." This is a cool joint though it would be awesome if Buckshot was on it.

"Come Get Some" {Featuring Louieville from O.G.C.} is another hardcore joint with a mid-temp pace.  This joint is cool but would be better if Starang Wondah was on it instead of Louieville. Still, it's cool. The basic sentiments are in the chorus: "You want some? Come get some. Don't start none, won't be none...."  It's a cool track..

"Weight Of The World" is a slower-paced jam about the stresses of life. Buckshot and 5ft both rip it on this joint as Buckshot does the chorus: "Carrying the weight of the world, carrying the weight of the world on my shoulders..." With many of the BCC in jail and all this legal stuff with lawsuits and the name change, Buckshot has the right to write some songs about stress since the emcee has been through his share.

"Evil Dee Is On The Mix"  is a very dope, mellow instrumental jam. The beat is so cool, so original, and ready for anyone to freesyle over it. Stoned out! The keyboards are cool.

"Showdown" {Featuring Q-Tip} is a very upbeat song which was on (or some of it at least) Funkmaster Flex's Mix Tape Volume III: The Final Chapter. The beat is dope and Q-Tip only does the chorus: "Bounce to this, all my hip-hop heads- bounce to this. Mr. Buckshot says Bounce to this!... " Though it sounds somewhat commercial, the lyrics by Buckshot are very hardcore. "...Everyone you meet on the way up, you meet down, so if you burn a bridge, how you gonna cross town?....High from the stimuli, very blurry-eyed - The dread said to me, Buck the B-D-B, when you smoke the sensei-mi, make sure you take out your seeds...." This is classic hip-hop jam! It's bouncy and dancy enough to be very catchy and get radio airplay but hardcore enough lyrically to impress the admirers of true hip-hop rhymes and flows. Dope!

"One-Two" is a cool song with a mid-tempo beat which uses samples of people saying "One -two" . I'm not positive but it sounds like Guru from Gangstarr being scratched in the background saying "Yeah". Though this is not one of the most memorable songs on the album, it's cool.

"Frame" {Featuring Cocoa Brovaz} is very dope song! "Black Smiff and Wessun come to shake your frame!..." Songs like this remind the people what Boot Camp is all about... dope jams! This is an upbeat jam where everyone shines.... bright! Hardcore BCC, the way it's suppose to be.

"Buckshot" (Interlude) is another interview with 88hiphop.com talking about the name Black Moon.

"Two Turntables & A Mic" is that brand new classic hip-hop old school jam which is being played on the radio. They use the same beat as Dmx's "It's All Good" which uses the beat. The orginal song is Tanya Garner's early 80's classic "Heartbeat". Evil Dee scracthes two copies of it back and forth while Buck kicks some dope rhymes. The chorus is very catchy but explores the true essence of hip-hop: "Two turntables and a mic - MIC!. One phat emcee on the set - SET! Twwo turntables and a mic - MIC!. One phat emcee on the set - SET!... " Buckshot's rhymes are very flowing making this a brand new classic jam. You can't dislike this song!

"Anihilation" {Featuring M.O.P. & Teflon}  Of course, this is a wild, pumped up jam which makes you want to shoot somebody. Buckshot is missing from this but his mellow voice may have clashed with the scratchiness of 5ft, M.O.P. and Teflon. This is a dope jam with tons of energy... Brooklyn!

"Duress" has a very cool and orginal beat with this wild distorted sound. Buckshot "get's some sh*t of his chest" on this jam as he rhymes about the stressful life he must endure in Brooklyn. The chorus goes a little like this: "Why' does the devil keep f*cking with me, why does the devil keep f*cking with me?"  It sounds much better that it would appear to be written on paper. Buck has some honest lyrics about being locked up and the other problems of life.

"Throw Your Hands In The Air" is avery mellow joint with a Curtis Mayfield sample. Once again, Buckshot is alone on this one. The chorus is repetitive but cool: "Throw your hands in the air like this, throw your hands in the air like this..." It's got some cool keyboards played by Rockwilder, who is known in the Redman camp.

"Outro" {Featuring Rock from Heltah Skeltah} is part of the original "War Zone"} This is just the final chorus, done by Rock, from the original "War Zone". It would have been better to included the whole song... wouldn't it?

I must say this is a dope album so far... From what I heard, it's still very hardcore with no wimpy or sellout R&B tracks... Stickly harcore hip-hop.. Buckshot proves that he's a master emcee! It's a shame that 5Ft and Rock are in jail or are going to jail.... All the beats, done by the Beatminerz, are dope! There's not one weak beat!!! There's a great balance of energetic songs with and mellow jams, distorted, spaced out melodies and cool flows. Everything works well. The album is entertaining and well as innovative. You could tell they put a lot of work into it and did not just throw songs together. The production from the Beatminerz is top notch.  Plenty of scratches and turntable wizardry in the right places along with some minor live instrumentation. Lyrically, Buckshot steals the show away from 5ft. Many people may think the lyrics are little calmer on this album compared to the last one because they don't rap about shooting and slicing up people.... as much... There's still hardcore violent and smoked out lyrics but it gets softened up by the hip-hop loving lingo (i.e. "Two Turntables & A Mic"). Black Moon is one of the most creative and original groups around. The samples are not overused (and not very recognizable except for "Two Turntables..." ). The concepts border on being hip-hop stables to new ideas. Still, there are songs with basic themes and some just basic jams.... Overall, the album flows very well. The songs are just long enough. They don't get boring. Though Buckshot dominates the album, the guest appearances and the themes along with the beats keep the album glued tight. Black Moon is a very hardcore group. Guns, weed, women, and hip-hop. They live in the warzone and fight the war of everything outside that door. They are true hip-hop heads who made a dope album... A brand new classic hardcore hip-hop album. Get ready for war!
