"and thats a good thing. This is a piece of music that shows that thuggery can be an artistic form of expression. Never before has the thought of bashing someone in the mug and making off with their wallet seemed so..so..beautiful. the choice samples layered in thick chunky slabs of filtered basslines and well-accenuated highs and melodics perfectly drizzle in and out of Buckshot's words and flow. It literally takes you on a marijuana trance through the rugged streets of Brooklyn. I mean, i listen to this album and i wonder why someone hasn't handed Fitty or Diddy a bullet in the cranium for their atrocities that sell publicly on the shelves of record stores. This is real hip hop. THIS is GANGSTER...not that Diplo crap or Retard Unit or any of these other mentally and artistically challenged kids from the streets. I only gave it 5 stars because Amazon wouldn't let me give it a gazillion....If you do not own this record, you should flog yourself against the hood of a moving automobile, preferably a station-wagon with wood paneling and metallic-peat colored paint because you are a nerd."

One of the best Hip-Hop albums of all-time.

"I still remember the day that I bought this album. I was 14 years old and I was in the record storeand I was looking for something new. I mean at the time I was only 14 and had limited funds so I wasn't able to just buy cd's when ever I want like I do now. So I was looking through the rap section & I stumbled across 'Enta da stage', so I took the last $10 bill outta my pocket & paid for it. WOW, this was the best $10 I ever spent. This album changed the whole scene for East Coast Rap forever. Every single song, lyric & beat is intoxicating from Buckshot's voice to Evil Dee's beats this album is a 5 mic classic even though "The Source" didn't think so. Yo, all I gotta say is that if you love Hip-Hop u gotta own this classic album. I just wish Black Moon would put out more material like this. No disrespect to them now, but 'Enta da stage' was something special."

When [stuff] Was Real

"This album is one of my top ten albums of all time. Itrepresents a time period between '92-'95 when the East Coast wasdefinitely runnin' [things]. I'm talkin' about when it was Gang Starr, Tribe, Nas(when he was still Illmatic), Smif-n-Wessun(when they were known as Smif-n-Wessun), Biggie(before he was reincarnated), theWuwhen all 36 were in full effect); puttin' it down for New York. Buckshot's flow is by far one of the best ever heard, and more than makes up for his petty lexicon. 5 Ft.'s few appearances are stellar, and the production by Evil Dee and Mr.Walt was some of the most original, extraordinary stuff to date. One of the only albums in a while to incorporate uncompromising, street hardness while keeping hip-hop pure. Few have came, and few will come, that are up to the caliber of the legendary Black Moon."
