Does anyone here know where they got their name from? Was it a movie? Because I know a couple Black Moon's.

No clue.

All I know is that when Finsta was in the group they went by "High Tech," they changed the name shortly after he left the group, and "Black Moon" is allegedly an acronym for "Brothers Lyrically Acting and Combining Kickin' Music Out On Nations" (Thanks, ego trip!).

clumsy acronyms were Hip Hop's 5th element in the early 90s

Yeah, they're called "backronyms"

I think KRS ONE came up with the best one.

i can't remember anymore, but i'm pretty sure DJ Evil Dee talks about it in 1 of the Deep Crates documentary (which can be found in this forum)

Here's an excerpt from Brian Coleman's Check the Technique (that I had to take with a camera since I don't have a scanner):

Word props, didn't know that about High Tech or Unique Image. Oh and that's true actually, they talk about everything else in the first Deep Crates (or maybe all of it and my memory's bad). Been meaning to get that book though, Check the Technique.
