In 1998, while all the other thugs are popping Moët, Gang Starr and their partners in rhyme, M.O.P., are finally collecting the respect they deserve. Lil' Fame and Billy Danzenie have generated buzz before, but not until First Family 4 Life have they been successful in putting together an end-to-end coherent album. Featuring guest shots from Heather B on "My Kinda Nigga, Part II" and Tef and Jay-Z on the firestarting "4 Alarm Blaze," the Mash Out Posse bring the rawest aural damage this side of the Mad Rapper. --Jon Caramanica |

Yo Dreams Have Now Been Fulfilled! by S. Kahn  5 Stars
June 04, 2007
If the only MOP you know is the Ante Up remix with Busta on the radio, then you're in for a surprise. They make rock solid albums all the way through and this is no exception. Probably the best thing about MOP and this album is that they stay hard all the way through the choruses. Lotta other artists have nice verses but put some annoying r&b type, poorly written stuff in between. With MOP its straight call and response, catchy lines, twisting up the rhyme pattern but no nonsense. Check out the beginning of "Handle Ur Bizness" for an example.
I like the production on most of the tracks. The beat on Brooklyn/Jersey Get Wild is surprisingly harmonious but it really works in contrast with the vocals. My only criticism is that there's very little breathing room on this album. Its got a lot fewer skits or soft tracks than most of their other ones so it has the feeling of being always on. But thats what MOP is about anyway. Being in your face and not backing down. This album is a must have in my book.

Solid by Jimmy Garcia (SLC, UT)  4 Stars

I enjoyed this LP just as much as I did Warriorz. Standout production, good raps from both the MC's and the guest artists. Definetly worth owning.

Another good M.O.P. album by G$ (B-More, MD) 4 Stars
December 24, 2004
After 2 years off again, they're back and as hard as always. Not quite as good as "Firing Squad" it is still a little better then "To The Death" and not many albums can compare to their "Warriorz" so it's behind that. After 2 years off they come back with their signature formula, again = No weak or fake lyrics but straight gutter grimey music and good beats by DJ Premier, Laze E Laze & M.O.P (a couple others contributed to this album as well). Guests as usual on their albums are limited, although this one has more then their other albums. Out of the 15 songs on here, I skip 3, 2 are classics, 2 are ok and the other 8 are good. A must have album for real hardcore rap fans.
#2 - 7.5
#3 - 10 (CLASSIC -- samples "Eye of the Tiger" beat --- f/ Jay-Z & Teflon)
#4 - 10 (CLASSIC -- also on the belly movie but not the soundtrack -- deeper song -- great beat)
#5 - 8 (f/ OC)
#6 - 9 (good beat)
#7 - 6 (f/ heather b)
#8 - 8 (f/ freddie foxxx)
#9 - 8.5 (f/ gangstarr)
#10 - 8.5
#11 - 8.5
#12 - 8.5
#13 - 6
#14 - 6.5
#16 - 7.5 (f/ treach)
#17 - 8
BILLY DANZE --- E. Murray -- b. 1974 -- Brownsville Brooklyn, NY

First Family 4 Life by ersone (Houston, Tx United States) 5 Stars
June 27, 2004
Masterpiece!! M.O.P. The last of a Dying Breed. Please, Please ignore the bad reviews. They think M.O.P stand for MOP and sh*t. Don't get it twisted... This is one of the best albums in Hip Hop History. These cats are still true to the Hip Hop roots. I miss real MC's like M.O.P. Please artist take a picture and use this as your model. M.O.P is M.O.P not a carbon copy, I wish I was on MTV, BET cats. They do hip hop they way they want to, not for just money. They love it. Please don't comment on what you do not understand. Please!!? I don't listen to country, but I respect every single artist doing it. I respect them for their very on creation. If you don't like Hip Hop Don't review it. M.O.P. True Warriors. 1 Love!

This is the one M.O.P. fans have been waiting for. The long-awaited album M.O.P. Salutes The St. Marxmen has been on every rap fan's radar for what seems like eons now. With an intense, fiery and very well-respected live show, M.O.P.'s energy is unparalleled in hip-hop, and their on-stage presence translates flawlessly to the studio. From the group that has appeared on hits with the likes of Jay-Z and Busta Rhymes, and also brought you legendary songs like "Ante Up" and "How About Some...

M.O.P. (aka Mash-Out Posse) is back again. Comprised of rappers Lil’ Fame (aka Fizzy Womack) and Billy Danzenie (aka Billy Danze), the group is best known for their frenetic hit single 2000’s “Ante Up”. But throughout their career M.O.P. have consistently delivered the hardest, angriest and loudest music Hip Hop could offer. Childhood friends Fame (Jamal Grinnage) and Danze (Eric Murray) grew up in the roughest area of Brownsville (Brooklyn, NY) and were members of a neighborhood ...
