Nocturnal is a 5 mic album in my opinion. There are no skips on that and I still listen to it to this day.

The BCC deserved way more success and notoriety than they received. ALL of them. So much classic material.

As a diehard Sean Price fan this was my favorite interview ever on the People's Party

Yeah he was definitely the early standout MC if the boot camp Clik….Early! I would say Sean Price was responsible for Reviving BCC in the new millennium

The Great Rockness Monsta! What an interview Talib! The summer of '96 I was 18 years old, just finished my freshman year of college, and I NEVER left the house without listening to the ENTIRE Nocturnal CD. It was fresh, it was different, it was brutally honest and hilarious.. AND, these two dudes just happened to rap their @$$ off! Ruck & Rock had the ultimate chemistry as a rap duo, probably only second to their brethren Smif & Wessun. Rock, the "Great Unknown" will forever be mah sh!¡... BCC the greatest, Bummy Jab the Beast of ALL BEASTS! Salute!

I wonder why no one ever mentions the Magnum Force album. I think that’s equally as good as Nocturnal

Referring to Sean Price " oh he here!" Gave me goosebumps

TIME STAMPS: 3:39 -- The show begins with Rock's Brownsville, Brooklyn upbringing. He outlines his early homelife, feeling like a borderline nerd at school, and the transformation that took place leading up to his eventually joining BK's most notorious street gang of the time, the Decepticons. They go on to explore the first time he met Sean Price aka Ruck when he was 11 years old, how they considered one another family going forward, and Rock being early friends with Steele. 12:41 -- Rock speaks on the Decepticons gang, why they formed and how they were perceived by Brooklyn's residents while they were active. They go on to discuss Steele of Smif-N-Wessun and his role as the architect of the Boot Camp Clik, as well as Buckshot of Black Moon being a true visionary, and protecting members of BCC from signing bad deals. They also get into Rock's history with the Five Percenters and why he left the nation to join the Decepticons. 22:29 -- Rock talks about his being locked up in 1992 and passing the time being plugged into The Video Music Box. We hear about the day he saw Black Moon's video for 'Who Got The Props' and how he knew at that moment there was opportunity waiting for him when he got out. They go on to talk about the CEO of Duck Down Records, Drew "Dru-Ha" Friedman being a stand-up guy and how BCC was always a tight-knit group, trust never being an issue. 35:20 -- Heltah Skeltah's debut album, 'Nocturnal' is brought up and they get into how it impacted Talib when he first heard it, as well as Rock's not realizing the influence he and Sean P were having on the culture at the time. They go to talk about Boot Camp Clik and other NY rappers playing a huge part in the sales of Timberlands, as well as how Heltah Skeltah's song, 'Therapy' wrote itself, being true to real life, and how Ruck was something like Rock's therapist. 44:28 -- Rock recounts a story of being overseas in the late 90's and how Sean P felt after Talib and Yasiin Bey followed their performance on a radio show. They go on to discuss the competitive spirit of Sean and Rock goes on to define the Boot Camp Clik's phrase, 'pulling a Ruck'. Rock is also asked if he can break down what, 'Leflaur Leflah Eshkoshka' means, he explains how they took cues from Wu-Tang when creating The Fab 5, and Rock is asked when he realized his voice was special. 55:22 -- Rock is asked how he filled the void when Sean Price passed away and Rock goes on to talk about how much slang Sean was responsible for before tells the story of the night he became aware of Ruck's status as a next-level emcee like himself. They go on to discuss the song, 'Rockness A.P.' as he breaks down the meaning behind bars like, 'Sometimes when I look at n*ggas who came in the game same time frame as me, I’m ashamed of me.' They also get into how the crew felt when Rock landed a solo deal with Priority. 1:06:25 -- Rock's most recent release, 'Ether Rocks', produced by Ron Browz is brought up, how it's release was delayed due to covid and they get into Rock giving Krondon a shout-out on the new album after seeing him constantly serve beat-downs to Black Lightning. They go on to discuss an incident at Hot 97 that ended up getting Rock and Ruck banned from the studio, as well as a fan who pulled out a machine gun on the group who had asked for an autograph seconds earlier, and a DJ that got Heltah Skeltah's music banned from Connecticut's airwaves. 1:15:44 -- Tek and Steele's appearance on Math Hoffa is discussed and the heated argument that took place between Tek and Sean Bigga over Tupac, the supposed East Coast/West Coast beef, and how some NY heads felt about Boot Camp's being friendly with Pac at the time. They also discuss fans telling rappers how to do their jobs, how Rock's daughter Raquel has impacted his life and what he raps about, as well as learning how to navigate rapper/fatherhood from watching Sean P, Eminem, and T.I.. Finally Rock is asked what's next for the Rockness Monsta.

Rock, you're underappreciated. I been playing your music since about 15-16 yes old. True certified barbarian NY s#it

Man, I loved and appreciate this interview so much. Rock is a Brooklyn bar GOAT and has been slept on for decades. Elite lyricism.

"Son I used to be a good boy, fat cheeks, little cute kid, Potentially rebellious yet a straight A student I listened to my elders til I found out they was stupid What they told me had me broke and bummy, time for some new shit" Heltah Skeltah is one of the dopest duos in hip hop history!

I BEEN ROCKIN PEOPLES PARTY FROM THE JUMP, THANK YOU KWELI! ABSOLUTE BEST INTERVIEWS IN HIPHOP! ACTUALLY PART OF THE CULTURE NOT A VLAD

Your voice is legendary ROCK! 5 mins in and grinning like this. Playing boot camp all day today!!

Evil Dee is the inspiration behind my SN. He don't get enough love. Glad they saluted him.

It's good to hear from Rock. Legend!

Portland, JAMAICA in the Building !!!!! 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲

RIP to Sean Price but I'll say this til the day I die, Rock is one of the most underappreciated MCs in Hip-Hop history .

Loved this interview. It great when your rap hero’s are cool and down to earth people.

Got a lot more respect for this dude! Peace to BCC!

So excited to see Rockness in this chair

Strang and rock need to do an album together I've been saying it for years

Anybody remember those drawings they had on the Duck Down website around 96-97? Dudes in gas masks holding decapitated heads with spinal columns and shit? I went to actual Boot Camp in Ft Jackson South Carolina in 97 and they had us make art to represent our platoons. I brought that shit in and we represented BCC for the Warlords.

I didn’t even watch the interview yet, but I was hyped when I saw Rock from Heltah Skeltah!!!

Finally, some Boot Camp Clik.

1st Heltah Skeltah lp is a MFN CLASSIC!!!! RIP Sean Price aka Ruck!!! I'll never forget in '96 @ Lincoln University Homecoming, my freshman yr, it was Heltah Skeltah, Monifah, and Jay-Z wit Bleek for 25$!!! BCC came out first and Heltah Skeltah started rocking out, my best friend since I'm 4 came to campus from Cheyney University and my younger brother came from philly for the concert. My best friend Bryan purposefully wore a red NERVOUS records t shirt. Side note: nervous was who bcc was signed to but they had just deaded that deal and adamantly didn't fuck with nervous records. He did this knowing full well the beef bcc had with nervous but it was an original BCC nervous jawn. Yo...I forget what song they was in the middle of but Rock in the middle of his bars stops, sees my friend, cuz we right in front, and his whole face changed. He screams to the DJ to stop the music, pull up the spotlight on us and comes over like "yo take that muthafuckin nervous shyt off! We don't fucking rock with them!" Like my dude this just for this moment, like wow, he takes the shirt off, starts swinging that shyt, Rock like yeah u fx with us right, we like hells yeah! Then don't fuck with nervous. And then the beat drop, back to the concert. When Jay came out he threw a stack in the crowd during dead presidents, all the chick's rhymed foxxy part on ain't no nigga! Def one of the greatest concerts and moments in my life. Salute to Rock and Ruck!!

Rock is a dope guy. I met him on the humble at a lids in Baltimore. I showed some love and he showed love back, respect.

BCC blew the door off the hinges on that Tony Touch Tape #50 Classic 🔥🔥🔥🔥 those universal Beatdowns were fr fr Peace to the gods & the earths 💪🏾 keep dropping Science Talib

Heltah skeltah is one of my best group of all time

Rockness one of the illest ever! His combination of ILL voice, flows, bars is insane TO THIS DAY! Nocturnal one of my favorite Hip Hop albums EVER! 5 mic classic to me! As an early 80s baby Hip Hop Head since 1991 (started loving rap late 80s, but was old enough to appreciate it in 1991 with my favorite emcees at that time Treach, G-Rap, Pharoahe Monch, Rakim, Cube, Lord Finesse, Grand Puba, Masta Ace, Kane, Posdonus, ATCQ, Dres, Del, Paris, B-Real, King Tee, KRS, 2Pac, Shock G, Nas after hearing him on Live at the BBQ, etc etc) 91-2002 were my formative years for becoming a Hip Hop head and Heltah Skeltah at their best will always be one of my favorite Hip Hop groups! Can’t wait for those last 3 albums Roc mentioned at the end!

I remember I went to a Sean Price show in Brooklyn and after he was done he dropped the mic and walk through the crowd and straight out the venue. 😂

So underated as an MC. Love this interview!

At 15, I bought an OGC Da Storm and an EPMD album based on the cover art and had no idea what I was getting into. Next time I visit a music shop I'm gonna try the same trick. Wish me luck in 2024.
