How Many MC's...
1993 single by Black Moon

01Composition and critical reception
Vincent Thomas of AllMusic considered the song a "total departure from the vibe present on 'Who Got da Props'" and called it a "subtly horrific track over which Buckshot premiered a more deliberate flow that bespoke controlled menace." Cheo Hodari Coker of The Source commented the song "bring[s] things to a thunderous close, leaving the listener thirsting for more."
