I been trying to get my older brother to listen to this album for years. How he never heard it but I did I don't know. I always said this was on par with the infamous, 36 chambers, illmatic, etc.... It's a little overlooked and its sad. Just like dah shinin and nocturnal.
Older heads, how much attention did this album get when it dropped?
Honestly, I remember when it was out. Enta The Stage came out on October 19, 1993 before 36 Chambers and Midnight Marauders which came out on the same day on November 9, 1993. Then Doggystyle dropped two weeks after 36 Chambers and Midnight Marauders on November 23, 1993.
I remember driving in my homies car around that time bumping Enta The Stage. I remember thinking it was ok but Buckshot was yelling and he didn't find his style until the remixes which came the following year.
The remixes and b-sides from the 12"s were better than the actual album itself.
1. I Got Cha Open (remix)/ Killin Every Nigga In Sight (not on the album)
2. Buck Em Down (remix) / Murder MCs (not on the album)
^^^ Those 4 songs are better than anything on the album.
Also, if you were hip to mix tapes at the time, there was nothing better than catching a Bootcamp remix and/or b-side in the middle of a mixtape. Here's what I'm talking about;

This tape was hotter than the Sun when it came out. I can remember chilling at Northeastern University smoking blunts and listening to this tape. If you look at the track listing I Gotcha Open (remix) is on side A and Killin Every Nigga In Sight is on side B.
At least thats how I remember it.
