Did Black Moon ever really blow up though? I know they're respected in hip hop, but they was mainly underground right?

That's what I always say, just make good music NY. Everybody thought the west was on top and it was but NY damn sure won the talent war and maintain itself until it was ready to take over again. Stop worrying about the south(who's losing steam).

They blew up Hip Hop wise but underground overall. You have to remember back then Hip Hop still wasn't quite mainstream.

Black Moon had a couple of big records. They weren't regulars on David Letterman, but they had some notoriety.

The ill shit about underground back in the day, you can be a virtually unknown and still have joints on the charts. Remember this cat?

I like that. You have Artist like Nas or pre Beyonce Jay who sold millions and millions of records yet mainstream media didn't really know them. That allowed for skill to shine and created better listeners. I truly believe there's a skill to listening to Hip Hop.

Can't forget about Killarmy

Niggas need to wake the fuck up before they get smacked the fuck up.

This was my alarm every morning when I lived in the islands.
