How About Some Hardcore - M.O.P. (REACTION! by metalheads)

[@KardiFan2000]

You guys have to realize that hardcore rap (or gangsta rap) is an aesthetic...there's an art to it...the lyrics aren't actual murder confessions, they're just painting a vivid picture of what it's like in their hood.

[@djhyjak]

MOP - Ante Up

[@Rellj16]

M.O.P. is one of the hypest groups ever. Their energy level is always a 10! Y'all should 100% do more M.O.P. I vote for Ante Up. Extremely up beat. Will make you wanna break shit haha

[@altonruss]

That sounds good.

[@KardiFan2000]

M.O.P. - "Ante Up (Remix)" (feat. Busta Rhymes & Remy Ma)...one of the hardest rap records EVER, there's even a mosh pit in the video lol.

[@younggullah]

Always preferred the original over the remix

[@KardiFan2000]

@@younggullah To each their own. Busta always had one of the hardest deliveries, so I felt that the remix hit a bit harder IMO.

[@r.thomas9648]

[@luisrojas3173]

hahahha Thank You! Y'all made my day with this one. When I saw the thumbnail. I was like YES! Where MOP is from (Brownsville), it's prolly the toughest part of New York City. Billy Danz & Lil Fame are still rappin & actually their new material is dope. Btw Jill you did pronounce my name right. If you wanna pronounce it en español it's Lew-Ease Rrrroh-has :))))

[@aoescool]

yeah Brownsville is still pretty bad lol. butno where near 90s level

[@luisrojas3173]

@@aoescool Facts! My first time in the Ville was winter 1996. Was going to my boy's crib, after school. He had a studio. We got off Junius. I made a U turn back to the 3 train when I saw four dudes chasing someone with machetes. I told my boy Al. Yo I forgot I gotta go to work tonight.

[@akindele13]

They are more lyrically dense then Easy.

[@jvblaq]

You got to understand 90s New York slang. Alot of MOP content is high energy and their lyrics is visually visceral. In some ways they infused rock and metal in their earlier music. Real hip-hop fans that grew up in the era..get it. Aint no way someone listening to them in 2020 would have a clue. There's no reference point or prior history to establish any proper understanding. When I listen to MOP, I definitely not expecting positive message but a dope song that gets me hype with a tinge of neighborhood proud.

[@ekoruno]

One of the best rap songs ever made 💯

[@AntonioSmith-RCA]

M.O.P is about hard lyrics. Gangsta stuff with good lyrics. It's about energy, not for everyone but you definitely have to hear more from them.

[@ekoruno]

They are so confused 😂😂😂😂😂

[@JamesJohnson-mw6zq]

This is just straight black hoodie creepin in the shadows music. It is what it is. M.O.P. one of the hardest groups ever.

[@Al-With-An-A]

"I put the mac in the Roni" still one of my all time fav bars haha

[@alfonzohoward185]

It's just street music remember It's 94,project music from New York, easy e,is west coast and e easy, e was older they are 20 21

[@dwaynesmith4261]

You're looking for a message or a story in this song even though there isn't one. They were basically just speaking in metaphors saying how tough they are with no real message in the song. This was basically a party song to get hype and have fun with.

[@michaels1422]

M.O.P are great, good selection. Let's have some Gravediggaz for 2021

[@jayyoung4620]

Do Rakim "My Melody" The most influential lyrical song of the 80's

5:13 - To answer your question, the extra something is Brownsville Brooklyn. It was really like this during the 70-90's, but there wasn't really a "gangs culture" like in LA. Try Anti-up kzbin.info/www/bejne/aX64eHSupa5jeMUsi=NtmEKnU-OWJakVLO

[@mookX92]

Just like any other genre hip hop has many sub genres. Eazy E is smooth gangsta rap and M.O.P come with that rugged uncut street rap. Eazy E is more melodic plus it's got a funk bop to it which makes it easier for those who are not familiar with the originis of hip hop, which is stripped down minimalistic beats and emphasis on lyrics and flows. M.O.P is less melodic and their delivery is more grimey and their way more lyrical using metaphors and similes. West Coast hip hop usually got a more embellished melodic sound than east coast hip hop that's why it's more accesible to y'all.

MOP is high energy, you should do the “Ante Up Remix” with them, Busta. Hip hop classic. You play it in the club, the club getting tired up lol. I enjoy you both and openness to understand hip hop.

[@mtj7103]

M.O.P is more grimy and unrefined group fron NY. Their biggest hit by far is Ante Up which has a similar 'message' but is a club classic. When that song comes on it would make a priest want to get rowdy and lay hands

[@steveharveysmustache3988]

Eazy and MOP do talk about the same subject matter but the difference is the delivery as well as regional style. Hardcore rap is basically the east coasts answer to gangsta rap from the west coast, east coast rappers like to use satisfying flows while west coast is more of just stating shit straight up not too worried about the flow

[@95zaxful]

I cant believe didnt react to big L or rakim yet, do one of them next plssssss !!!

[@mavhunter8753]

MF DOOM just died, you guys should react to MF DOOM - Beef Rap!

[@chrisphillips4959]

Interesting choice MOP is NY street rapp. Leaning towards gangster rapp genre. Ante Up is a good song from them. But when trying understand hip hop, you should separate each genre to get a good consistency of the same types of songs and sound. I would group these guys with a Cool G Rapp, Busta Rhymes, Mobb Deep, Big Pun, Smiff n Wessun ect. Group Eazy E with guys he fathered Ice Cube, Dr.Dre, or Ice T, Too Short. When you keep the songs running along the same vein. You'll get used to the slang and start to understand how metaphors and similes are used in certain rhyme schemes. Then you can listen for patterns and style and cleverness in ones delivery. Your biggest hurdle from watching most of your videos( i only watch when you do artist i like ... sorry)that I can see is the language barrier. Its like American blacks trying to understand Jamaicans. Its all English, but dialect makes a big difference. I am an expert on hip hop born in 1978, all I know is this shit.i have a microphone tattooed on my arm.i can really help guide you to a more fulfilling and less confusing experience. If you want.

[@metalheadreactions7379]

I agree that listening to the same styles/groups at one time would be beneficial. It's harder to do in this format though. Things may be changing soon though so some guidance may needed but first we gotta figure a few things out...I appreciate your reply and insights! (Jill)

the difference in style is the coast.. back then without internet every city had different styles..ny being the originators you would get deeper lyrics and lots of double and triple entendre.. a lot more connection with its roots being from a reggae dirivative. easy e being from the west the influence is a lot more g funk . slower and more laid back... but yeah on the lyrical level easy e even though legendary in his influence can't compare to mop or any ny rapper

Theres alot of music. You dont got to like it all or should you. Funny thing I grew up in the neighborhood group came from. Its a different era and most of wasn't positive.
