 (2 Customer Reviews)
Principally recorded at D&D Studios, New York, New York and Fire House Studios, Brooklyn, New York.
M.O.P. has succeeded in doing what few hardcore rap groups have been able to do, by increasing the quality of production on their album and still keeping that same raw, rough feel that typically disappears as money enters the equation. While the album is solid from start to finish, "Anticipation" stands out, partly inspired by KRS-One's "MC's Act Like They Don't Know." The title track, "Firing Squad," is a slow, rumbling tune with some low-end piano riffs helping to keep it moving along. DJ Premier of Gangstarr makes an appearance on "Downtown Swinga ('96)," providing a funky bassline for the duo to scream over. This is what you've waited for. ~ Brad Mills

Vibe (11/96, p.154) - "...FIRING SQUAD stacks the deck and takes home the jackpot by employing DJ Premier for the bulk of the production...M.O.P....perform like few others do--as though their lives depend on it."
The Source (11/96, p.129) - 3.5 Mics - Dope - "...Brownsville's Mash Out Posse put a serious dent on the rhyme game and establish themselves as two of the livest...to ever bless the mic....nothing but the raw goods..."

HELL ON EARTH is an enhanced CD that features a video and a hidden track, both accessible with a CD-ROM drive. The remaining audio tracks can be played on any CD player.
Mobb Deep's 1995 classic, THE INFAMOUS, was that kind of album that could silence other MCs. On HELL ON EARTH, the duo continues to deliver hard-core production and vocals that rage with anger. Never smiling and always painting their lifestyle with harsh lyrics, rappers Havoc and Prodigy are still the most feared rappers east of the Mississippi.

| | Raekwon Only Built 4 Cuban Linx... CD (1995)
Firing Squad CD music
$8.99  
The Wu-Tang saga continues. Raekwon "The Chef" is already an irreplacable part of rap music's largest breed, the Wu-Tang Clan, but his debut proves him also capable of standing on his own two feet. On ONLY BUILT 4 CUBAN LINX..., Raekwon's street-tough lyrics spotlight the roughness of his everyday life and, combined with short story interludes, shape the plot for this gangster movie of an album.
The topics on CUBAN LINX are all Chef-centered braggadocio, and the beats constantly reflect the hip-hop underground. Raekwon defines the politics of the rap game on "Incarcerated Scarfaces," and invites any non-believers to test his skills. Joining Raekwon on just about every cut, fellow Clan-man Ghost Face Killer gives a great solo effort on "Wisdom Body."
In fact, CUBAN LINX bares closer resemblance to an actual Wu-Tang Clan album than any solo record by a Wu-Tang member. The backing track for "Guillotine (Swordz)" was previously introduced on Method Man's solo album TICAL, and Raekwon and his crew expand on it for a quick flashback. "Can It Be All So Simple" also returns--this time in a remixed form. These two songs, along with "Ice Cream" and "Wu-Gambinos" (both of which feature Method Man), should feed the habits of hungry Wu-fiends. Raekwon's chamber briefly escapes the Clan's musical borders ...

If you haven't heard M.O.P., then forget everything you may have heard about hardcore rap music. M.O.P. is the primary representateive of hardcore, with all others trailing in their wake. With two full albums and one EP already earning much respect on the streets, M.O.P.'s FIRST FAMILY 4 LIFE further proves why this Brownsville duo has been around for so long, despite decidedly noncommercial appeal.
FIRST FAMILY 4 LIFE is hip-hop in its truest form, with ...

Following along with the timescape preserved in Pierre Verger's photography, this installment of the Pierre Verger series represents Brazilian music in its pre-MPB glory. Even bossa nova was a relatively newer creation at the time of the photos, and they are represented in similar quantities here. The album shows off a few sambas, a couple of ...

Firing Squad songs
$12.65
"Sunday Morning Favorites" is a collection of traditional hymns played in a straightforward, classic "country church" style by Dr. David Leinweber, an Associate Professor of History at Oxford College of Emory University. Leinweber's playing style is both easy-going and dignified, and the songs are played from the heart without a lot of fanfare or flourishes. The seventeen tracks go back as far as 1772 ("There is a Fountain") up through 1913 ("The Old Rugged Cross" and "In the Garden" - my own "Sunday Morning Favorite"), and include such staples as "I Love to Tell the Story," "Be Thou My Vision," "He Leadeth Me," "Sweet Hour of Prayer," and "What a Friend We Have in Jesus." Dedicated to Leinweber's late grandfather, also a pianist, "Sunday Morning Favorites" was obviously a labor of love and faith, and ...
