"what alot of heads out there don't want them to do. Not compromise quality with the quantity of records sold. Alot of people got it twisted, especially the media, which are usually just speaking for the large players in the industry. Man, we as fans gotta let these fools know. FIrst off don't let no one tell you Duckdown ain't making money. They handle they own biz, and run their own company. Most of these rappers can't say dat. With dat said the Duckdown presents..is just that. A lil of the label's past and a lil of the label's future. My fav's are You can't uck with us, Jump Up, and BQE. Man this album is solid. Yall go buy dat and pick up the BDI thug which is steaming. These fools can't see. Duckdown is gaining momentum and with their new distribution deal, meaning more hot product from Brooklyn. Hope they seeing money like they should. them magazines can't handle us. They dont know what the fans want cuz they aint living like us. They betta Duckdown! Been ducking down since 92 at Home Bass."

A dope dope compilation!

"This is a dope compilation but there is NOT enough original members.. OGC is only on ONE song.. Tawl Shawn aka Ruck from Heltah Skeltah is only on 2 songs and one of them, he's only on for about 45 seconds... Still, it's a cool album.. there's not one bad song. Thank God there's NOT R&B hooks like "For Da People".. Don't get me wrong, "People" was dope but songs like "Last Time" made it not as good as it could be.. It would be great if there was more O.G.C. more Heltah Skeltah, a Great 8 song and a fab five song... "jump Up" by black moon is dope... "Eye Of The Scorpio" with Buckshot and Rock is dope... "Real N*gga Sh*t" with OGC and Doc Holiday is dope.... "Wanted" with Steele and EEka-mouse is very cool but a little too long.. "DuckDown" and "You can't F*ck with us" is dope too... "Raiders OF the Lost Arc" by JahDan has not one BCC member in it!!! IT's a full regee track.. It would have been dope if the Cocoa B's or Top Dog was on it but Top Dog is not even on this joint!!! Still.. I like the album.. It got some lame reviews but the true MFC and BCC heads should dig it.. Peace.."

Bootcamp with a tight comeback!

"*** all those idiot critics who slaughtered this album with bad ratings cuz they are the people who gave crappy artists like hotboyz(blaze) and made men(the source) good ratings.this album has some mad nice songs like "jump up" by blackmoon, "ultimate mc" by saukrates and heltah skeltah", "holocaust" by cocoa b'z, "eye of the scorpio" by rock and buckshot", "you can't *** with us" by buckshot and steele, "meditation" by the repz and the "whirlwind remix" by blackmoon which was only supposed to be a b-side of the whirlwind single but was added on this album probaly to make it even better!the only reason why i didn't give this album 5 stars is because it had a few week songs on it but still is a very impressive album!"
