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.

[@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

[@altonruss3913]

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.

MOP - Ante Up

[@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.

[@stevenrivers8386]

Yea. I Easy was good. Do not get peoples obsession with him. lol. Was not THAT good.

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

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

[@noizynaybah5827]

The difference is... Eazy-E is West Coast... M o p is Brooklyn... They're also rapper so they're more descriptive in their delivery... Eazy-E is more popular because he is more understandable lyrically.... This right here is Hardcore East Coast Brooklyn New York 90s stick up kid vibe

[@sebus559]

Ahaha they be like wtf? if this doesn't make you move, don't listen to Hip Hop, period

[@teeblack06]

you should do M.O.P - Ante Up Remix

[@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

[@gregwhyte5153]

[@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)

Keep up the good work!

[@aoescool]

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

[@DaBeastLuis]

U wanna hear some real poetry, I highly suggest Nas "It Ain't Hard to Tell," & Roots "Concerto of the Desperato"... Ol' Dirty Bastard "Brooklyn Zoo," "Shimmy Shimmy Ya," or "Gettin High," along with Goodie Mob "Black Ice" would be fun ones to do
