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 lyrical realism and head-nodding production. "4 Alarm Blaze," which features Jay-Z and Teflon, raises as much adrenaline as "How About Some Hardcore" did in the Mash Out Posse's early days. Freddie Foxxx drops in on "I Luv," a song that captures the essence of hip-hop, with lyrical beatdowns over a DJ Premier track. Salute.

The Source (9/98, p.240) - 4 Mics (out of 5) - "...Brooklyn's Mash Out Posse has gained a massive cult following in rap's subterranean circuit....M.O.P.'s latest also presents their most diverse content..."

Fat Joe Don Cartagena CD  (1998)

First Family 4 Life album
CD $8.79  3.9 stars Top 500 Audio Samples Definitive Album
DON CARTAGENA is the third release from the unofficial mayor of the Bronx, Fat Joe, and with the noise made by his rap twin Big Pun, Fat Joe and his Terror Squad MCs have set things off for Latinos in hip-hop. Since day one, Joe has kicked punishing lyrics over gangster-driven beats, and he stays true to his forte on DON as well. Collaborating with the likes of Noreaga, Nas, Raekwon and many others, Joe remains one of hip-hop's most street-credible artists. The song topics here stay consistent with his first two albums, and numerous posse cuts give the album lyrical diversity. Three albums deep, Fat Joe still knows how to flow. Engineers include: Christian Delatour AKA Soundboy, Ken "Duro" Ifill, Dexter ...

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 ...

Wu-Tang Clan Enter The Wu-Tang (36 Chambers) CD  (1993)

First Family 4 Life music CDs
CD $9.59  4.7 stars Top 500 Audio Samples Definitive Album
The Wu-Tang Clan seemed to come out of nowhere when they released their first independent single, "Protect Ya Neck." To the industry's surprise, it sold over 10,000 copies and enabled this conceptually innovative crew to land a deal with RCA. ENTER THE WU-TANG (36 CHAMBERS) is the first effort to "take you on" the full "lyrical high" of the Wu-Tang--eight "killer bees" who stem from that forgotten borough of New York City, Staten Island. Prince Rakeem "The RZA" may dominate the loosely-based group's production chamber, but the success of the Wu-Tang should be credited to all. "Clan In Da Front" gives The Genius (aka "The GZA") the opportunity to prove to critics of his former solo career that he's far from played out. To the liking of many hardcore ruffnecks, "Shame On A Nigga" unites the Clan's most distinctive vocalists, Ol' Dirty Bastard, Method Man and Raekwon The Chef; and fellow members Inspector Deck, Ghost Face Killer and U-God join forces on the album's highlight, "Da Mystery Of Chessboxin'." Both cuts prove the Wu-Tang to be the most lyrically diverse rap group ...

N O R E N.O.R.E. CD  (1998)

First Family 4 Life songs
CD $14.29  3.3 stars Audio Samples
As one half of the critically acclaimed group Capone-N-Noreaga, Noreaga established himself as a true rap artist, lyrically talented and musically diverse. Within one year, he created a heavy demand for his vocal talents, which are incredibly distinct. His thuggish style brings a street flavor back to hip-hop, and with his solo debut N.O.R.E., Noreaga schools listeners on what rap music is meant to be. The album N.O.R.E. is all about street credibility, lyrics that play with your head and beats that invoke serious head-nodding. "Banned From TV" is a posse cut that features only the hottest ...

Tupac Loyal To The Game CD  (2004) Edited

First Family 4 Life album
CD $13.99  4.3 stars Audio Samples
Eminem's trademarked heavily syncopated sound provides an almost surreal sheen to the proceedings, and Em's voice graces the strong opening track, "Soldier Like Me (AKA The Return of the Soulja)." The guests run the gamut from 2Pac contemporaries Nate Dogg and members of the fallen rapper's crew, the Outlawz, to relative newcomers Jadakiss and G-Unit, but all performances are solid and requisitely reverent to the memory of Tupac Shakur. LOYAL TO THE GAME simply combines strong remaining lyrics of a late master with newer ones, and stands ...
