History

1992 to 1996

Black Moon debuted in 1992 with the release of the single "Who Got Da Props?". The song became something of an underground phenomenon, and was also able to receive minor crossover success, charting on the Billboard Hot 100 at #86. The popularity of the single lead to a record deal with Nervous Wreck Records, which released the group's debut album Enta Da Stage in late 1993. The album was produced entirely by Evil Dee and Mr. Walt of Da Beatminerz, and featured the debut of Camp members Smif-N-Wessun, as well as an early appearance from Mobb Deep's Havoc. Enta Da Stage was highly acclaimed and influential over the burgeoning hardcore hip hop scene of its time. Preceding later classics like Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers) by Wu-Tang Clan, Illmatic by Nas and Ready to Die by The Notorious B.I.G., Enta Da Stage served as a precursor to the resurgence of the New York hip hop scene in the mid-90s. Along with "Who Got Da Props?", the album included other classic rap singles "How Many MC's...", "Buck Em Down" and "I Got Cha Opin (Remix)", the latter becoming the group's second Hot 100 hit.

    Boot camps can be governmental being part of the correctional and penal system of some countries, but predominantly in the United States. Modeled after military recruit training camps, these programs are based on shock incarceration grounded on military techniques. The aggressive training used has resulted in deaths in a variety of circumstances. Boot camps are also criticized around the world for their lack of behavioral change and for the way lethal force can traumatize children and teens.<ref name="nytimes-deaths

    Criticisms

    Other countries have been closely watching the boot camp system in the U.S. but so far have been slow to copy it, if at all.

    There are no research findings in favor of boot camps in light of any of the initial intentions. Recidivism rates in the U.S. among former prison inmates and boot camp participants are roughly the same. Yet, the effects of boot camps are controversially disputed, some surveys claiming lower re-offence rates, others showing no change as compared to persons serving normal time. Surveys also show different results concerning the reduction of costs. Critics add that the emphasis on authority can only result in frustration, resentment, anger, short temper, a low self-esteem and aggression rather than respect.

    Recruit training

    Recruit training, more commonly known as Basic Training and colloquially called boot camp, is the initial indoctrination and instruction given to new military personnel, enlisted and officer. After completion of Basic Training, new recruits undergo Advanced Individual Training (AIT), where they learn the skills needed for their military jobs. Officer trainees undergo more detailed programs that may either precede or follow the common recruit training in an officer training academy (which may also offer a civilian degree program simultaneously) or in special classes at a civilian university. During recruit training, drill instructors do everything possible to push a recruit to his or her physical and mental limits.

    Preface

    Recruit training varies by nation according to the national requirement and can be voluntary (volunteer military) or mandatory (conscription). Approximately 100 nations, including the United Kingdom and United States, have a volunteer military service. In voluntary service an individual chooses to join and thereby agrees to be subjected to the process of building an organization where each life depends on the person next to them. This voluntary status has changed the culture of military service.

    Camp

    by: Camp

    Outside my house is a cactus plant
    they call the century tree
    Only once in a hundred years
    it flowers gracefully
    and you never know when it will bloom
    CHORUS:
    Hey, do you wanna come out
    and play the game?
    it's never too late (2x)
    Clementine Hunter was fifty-four
    before she packed up the pain
    Old Uncle Taylor was eighty-one
    when he rode his bike
    across the plains of China (uh-huh)
    And the sun was shining on that day
    just like today
    CHORUS:
    Do you wanna come out
    and play the game?
    it's never too late
    Hey, do you wanna come out
    and play the game?
    it's never too late
    Didn't know how to tell her
    for all the thirty years
    kept locked up inside himself
    and no one saw the tears
    and then she went away
    and he woke up that day
    now he brings roses to his sweetheart
    she lives most anywhere
    he sees someone suffering
    he knows that despair
    he offers them a rose
    and some quiet prose
    'bout dancin' in a shimmering ballroom
    'cause you never know when
    it will bloom
    CHORUS:
    Hey, do you wanna come out
    and play the game?
