Popdose
From the risqué lyrical content to the uncompromisingly hip-hop production, these dudes were as street as pop music got back in the day. Not bad for a project that essentially started as an accident. […]

Sputnikmusic
Whether it’s the oh-so 80’s style production, the tacky “gangster” outfits, or their constant self-name dropping in some of the tracks, this was definitely an early 90’s group that acted like an early 90’s group. But maybe that’s not a bad thing. […]

allmusic
While other “new jacks” were content to simply emulate Guy, the distinctive BBD deserves applause for daring to stake out its own territory. […]
