Boot Camp Clik's Heltah Skeltah turn out willfully low-tech, floss-free music. The duo's philosophy ("Undastand / To be the man ain't even in the plan") is sort of a corner-dweller's adaptation of Tribe's credo ("beats, rhymes & grime"), with a hefty dose of weed and some potential violence thrown in for good measure. Noted underground producers, including Evil Dee, Mr. Walt, and the Alkaholiks' very own E-Swift, help give form to the album's snaky vibe, which progresses under palpable clouds of blunt smoke. Ruc and Roc's lyrics are not overly complex, centering on cipher battles ("Clan's, Posse's, Crew's & Clik's"), turf wars ("Grate Unknown"), and an amusingly wack attempt at a booty call ("Getting' Ass, Getting' Ass"). The criminally underrated Vinia Mojica, also heard gracing Common's hipster classic, Like Water for Chocolate gets some run here, singing the hook on "Therapy." --Rebecca LevineCustomer Reviews:
Part III Of The Boot Camp/Bucktown Series (Rating: 9 out of 10- -4.5 stars).......2007-07-17
The duo, Ruck and Rock, never slips on the rhymes either (even though I believe that Ruck is a little better than Rock). "Therepy" is a dope track that features singer Vinia Mojica. "Sean Price" featuring Illa Noyz and "Leflaur Leflah Eshoshka" showcase the duo with excellent guest appearances. The latter track features the Origonoo Gun Clappaz (combining with them they are known as The Fab 5). "Clans, Crews..." is funny track about people bringing their crews and thinking they're hard. The album's closer track "Operation Lock Down" is another one of my favorites, with a dark beat by Alkholik's member E-Swift. As the next track closes off the album with Ruck and Rock talking to a fan on how hip hop is changing (thats what the bonus track is).
They're aren't too many bad parts on this album. The first three or four tracks of the album is unbalanced, but it quickly picks up after that. Also, like the editoral reviewer, I thought the Rock and Vinia Mojica booty call skit (Gettin A** Gettin A**) went nowhere.
Nocturnal is a dope album from the BCC. Albums like this reminds why '96 was such a good year in hip hop. Especially when hip hop was changing into the bling era, this album was probably slept on. This is one of those albums you can play all the way through with out skipping a lot of tracks, if any. Fans of BCC will enjoy this as well. Peace.

MASTERFUL DEBUT.......2005-10-11
Actually, the entire soundscape for 'Nocturnal' is rightfully implied in the album title: very stark, dreary, eerie, dark, and reminds me of the entire BCC in the studio with a huge buddah smoke session going on. I agree with one of the other reviewers who said that Ruck and Rock both sound just blunted while trading verses.
'Nocturnal' is straight hip hop: there's no socio-political activism, no "Jesus Walks", no mother/daughter dedications -- Just straight up grimy, street, "hoodies and Timbs" hip hop, which means 'beats and rhymes'. Period. Da' Beatminerz provided a lot of production on here, which explains a lot of the dark, eerie musical backdrops the emcees drop lyrics over.
Former Decepticons (an older NY street gang), Ruck and Rock are some pretty pissed off mofos. In fact at times, you can almost feel Rock, with his commanding vocal delivery, being up in your face about to pound your ass and beat the living crap out of you -- I know I felt it. You'll love it: Ruck's straight loco delivery and mesmerizing skills, Rock's towering demeanor, deathly sharp verbal acrobatics, and that commanding presence largely implemented by his deep baritone which carries his wordplay.
If you dig the street-wise Rasta crew BCC, you'll love these two pissed off, angry as hell "naughty" dreads. (Speaking of which, does anyone know what the heck 'Leflaur Leflah Eshkoshka' means?!? LOL!) Purchase this now. And as soon as you pop it in, without further ado, Ruck and Rock'll proceed to pound your ass with "Letha Brainz Blo". Peace!

For all its pistol-packing pretensions, Heltah Skeltah's Magnum Force strikes more like a .22. It's a perfectly decent hip-hop album, but decent is about as exciting as it gets. The duo of Ruck and Rock are blessed with two of the more distinctive flows and voices in the rap world, but neither they nor their motley crew of producers are able to capitalize on it to any degree. Songs like "I Ain't Havin' That," "Magnum Force," and "Gunz 'n Onez" might peak your interest for a quick minute, but they quickly fade into obscurity. Ironically, some of the best moments on the album come in the form of skits like "2 Keys" and the hilarious "Call Tyrone" (following up on Erykah Badu's notorious song of the same name). --Oliver WangCustomer Reviews:
