crazy to believe that one of the most aggressive hip-hop duos of all time are so relaxed and soft spoken...

[@davejamal8627]

webesorrytho yeah he's definitely not the same person. He changed his life all that anger is gone

[@epicon6]

Tha Imperial Listen to Dj Premier talk about M.O.P... in the 90’s they were the ones who got excited when there was a fight at the club and were no strangers to fights and violence. They are chill dudes now but their music wasn’t to create an illusion.

[@nightlite]

People mature over time. They were exposed to people and cultures outside of their Brooklyn borough and grew as men. They still got the same heart tho. No doubt. Marksmen!

Billy Danze, bro articulated himself way more than I expected. His rap style and the music. Damn, salute. Just didn't see that coming

[@Crates94]

Brooklyn is versatile like that, baby!

[@MelficeSephiroth]

HowToMakeBeats Damn RIGHT!

[@charaznable2009]

These dudes are still monsters on the mic. Mash Out Posse......Forever!!!

[@KTran93]

I love this. Guys spreading love instead of hate. Respect to M.O.P.

[@NewYorkBattleCat]

whoa billy danze sounds so educated and soft spoken lol

[@originalJoeKing]

battlecat Compared to his music? lol

[@super7100]

Lmao

[@messiahblack4816]

battlecat Alot of killers tend to be that way....

[@ceeIoc]

he's 46, of course he sounds different

[@getstrongby4038]

@Fist Benoit lolll bro have you heard him rap? He's voice is so loud and aggressive, pure energy. It's literally the opposite of the way he talks.

[@drock912001]

G-Unit at the time had a large following,it was a business move.The Rock-a-Fella album never got officially released.50 signed them for the same reason he signed Mobb,established artists he respected and grew up listening too

[@allstarwook]

I cant rememeber the interview but they did say being with 50 helped them pay off debts to older labels by them touring with him

[@themadrapper101]

I still wish they released one album on G-Unit.. Just to hear what it sound like. Mobb Deeps Blood Money wasnt bad.

[@MuddywatermultimediaGroup]

Blood money had some dope ass beats too.

[@tahireugene8385]

These Brothers are proof that you can be very highly intelligent, respectful and gangsters at the same time. Very articulate.

[@commentwisely3033]

Sucks it didn't work out. Death becomes her , was a fire track. The Grind MOP has been on the last few years is what waa needed when they signed to G-Unit. These dudes are legends

[@jordanflores5687]

Wish we coulda got 1 album from it like mobb deep Idc what nobody say blood money is a lowkey banger

[@slothin21]

Get back with Preemo! Shit was some of the greatest hip hop ever!

[@mergimfera11]

Ur my man!

[@chiroxxxrt]

For real they were better off with prem

[@JessNW0lfG4NG]

6 years later now you can check their new shit with Apollo Brown one of Detroit's best producers.

[@TRIPLESIXSICCNESS]

M.O.P. Certified LEGENDS!, Up there with the greatest of all time.

[@mathematics557]

Luv these two, legends in the game for sure 🔥🔥🔥🔥💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾

[@Helmuesi911]

fame talk like a boxer with his mouth guard in... but you know what, these dudes spit that shit.

[@jredd13]

M.O.P was making tracks when most of y'all was still $hitting in diapers and begging for corner store money. Don't hate the pioneers of real Hip-Hop! Recognize real game!

[@joanabismo9365]

Who begs for corner store money in diapers?

[@jredd13]

Joana Bismo I guess you haven't been on the block in a bit!

[@joanabismo9365]

im pretty sure that wasnt your life or how you were raised so dont patronize me

[@jredd13]

Joana Bismo You don't know me or how I was raised... So cool it!

[@jredd13]

***** OMG Shut up. There are many different styles of hip hop. Cold Crush and MOP aren't in the same category. You're silly!!!

[@TheBlindSwordsman]

These guys are as real as they come... Facts!

[@dadon05]

I still think mop was a great fit for gunit...... in my opinion

[@Crates94]

Problem is 50 was forcing cats to use those sleek G-Unit beats, no one wants to hear Mobb Deep or M.O.P. over that.

[@AyoGhost]

HowToMakeBeats remember, mobb deep rapped to havocs beats alone so that was hav embracing the mainstream sound on his own

[@juanjamesdl]

HowToMakeBeats they still sounded great over that g-unit sound but i see ya point

[@Dank_Dank]

+HowToMakeBeats i guess.....

[@damiengates7581]

Nah, 'When Death Becomes You' is one of the best songs ever made, they should have made a whole album collaborating. And Blood Money is good musically.

[@matthewblank8230]

I had Cold As Ice on repeat for like a year, way back then

[@christophermbair]

One of my favorite rap groups and their intelligence as hell that's what's up

[@JaKinetic]

I gain more and more respect for these men every time I hear them speak. nobody in their lane, Brooklyn all day,

[@ripgeorgesmith9021]

I grew up in the slums of NJ in the 90's and this is all my big brother use to listen to back in the days and even still. Anyways Mama i Love you, M.O.P. ahold it dwnnn!!!

[@antediluvian99]

A rap interview without drama. Love it.

[@0820patjr]

Ive got Mad respect for these dudes and stay making dope shit no matter who they rollin wit! Salute to MOP.

[@martinezandy15]

i never heard of them ever again after the G-unit deal

[@cecilfitz5207]

+martinezandy15 check the single called heistmasters produced by d.j. skizz

[@macleodduncan3693]

because real hip hop is not on the radio anymore

[@edwinotieno9470]

listen to them before the deal ..they are STILL awesome

[@normalusorasotutokstoras]

just now i bought their first album vinyl wich is called to the death. shit is expensive, but every track from that album is crazy. i cant wait till i can play these tracks to the people on max volume. mop for life

[@miraail]

Coming up in that same age group I can say they always kept it funky since day one!

[@Nycsourpower456]

Mop is some real dudes, been listening to them for years,, they never soldout, real hiphop

[@madnice5577]

LEGENDARY M.O.P ! ! RESPECT !!

[@mikemercury5654]

I was looking forward to you guys putting out an album with G-unit . Sucks it didn't happen . Shit that was a long time ago .

[@napalmsf]

These dudes were threatening bootleggers im Brownsville back in the day 🤣 Ante Up is still one of the hypest tracks of all time

[@ahmidsmith-el8077]

I have the up most respect ✊ for the both of you now that’s hip hop

[@MrDendevil]

U don't need G-unit or whatever u guys are great on your own!

[@JessNW0lfG4NG]

Now that's respect. They parted ways respectfully, no grudges, no backstabbing & mad respect all around. MOP is 110% Brooklyn & always been.

[@JerseyMac11]

The legendary Mo.Ps!! The younger generation in rap may never understand what these dudes contributed to the game but they need to know that respect is due to the real and the original. How about some hardcore?

[@AD3Basketball]

i like MOP music with the Unit, that shit I heard was bangin. MOP LEGENDS no matter where they are.

[@martinigasalini6039]

This is the REALIST sit down.....they said real shit...real talk....and finally the cup raise up.....PEACE to M.O.P and the interviewer...just wish Premier was there also FIRST FAMILY

[@therealtracysson]

Best live show I've ever seen was M.O.P. at the Apache Cafe in Atlanta back in 2011

[@hillfammafia]

this is real spitt not many move on to other things and still give respectful credit to those who worked with them at 1 point..1luvtha'fam

[@AerialPenn]

Ante Up still comes on and makes everybody go crazy. Doesnt matter if its Madison Square Garden or some arena outside of the country. MOP is World Wide.

[@superunknown2812]

I almost forgot.M.O.P. signed with g unit back in early 2000 rite around the same time mobb deep did

[@luxurylozlo]

more like 2005/2006

[@CrossEyedHunk]

Hell yeah! I'm almost 40, so I grew up on these guys hard.

[@blackhood2205]

Yo these guys r the truth on that mic mop forever fr facts

Thats Understandable, You Gotta Always Stay In Your Lane Regardless How Much Money Is Being Offered To Switch To Another Lane So To Speak, Cause It May Not Work Out In Your Favor After All. The Key Is You Stay In Your Lane And You Will Be Successful When You Are Faithful In Your Own Lane.

The only people Vlad won't use a clickbait title with.

[@3sizzleman]

Im glad to see that they are not beefin with Unit

[@Semi.favorite_song]

I like M.O.P they genuine to the heart it is what it is what don't kill you make u stronger in the end

[@qtarleton]

It's over for them niggaz be, I hope through the many years in that rap game they made investments or is back to the block to sit on the stoop getting high and drinking til god calls em.

[@shuaduah]

Business. Not personal. That's the way it should go all the time. I have even more respect for these guys now. Class act.

[@badio310]

Them boys getn old and more humble. The old M.O.P would have been bugin out. M.O.P still one of the greatest

[@Dahue1983]

JUST KEEPING IT 💯💋👑 ALL DAY LONG!!💋💋💋💋💋

[@Betoven81]

Man..whoever said these guys are 'monsters on the mic' werent kidding

[@eaglefoot1977]

Billy understood that@1:24. Good, because I also believe their core wasn't happy about that move. I myself wasn't too convinced that it was going to work. G-Unit at that time was Hot and street but with a glossie look, while MOP has always been define as RAW with no shiny edges. I'm happy Little Fiend and Billy had a chance to experienced that GUnit taste, Im sure they had fun and it was a learning experience for them as well as 50. Somethings are better left as it is.

[@Alkatraz0001]

M.O.P. is like the N.W.A. of the 90s and 2gs....much love

[@CrackaJakRAP]

Danze is looking old damn.... i love that guys ... tears me apart to see him like that! wheres the energy and life in him?!?

[@jasemo88]

To The Death and Firing Squad are classics.

[@FRONTLINEMUSIK1]

im from louisiana,im with frontline ent.go and check tha music out at frontline bound,we do appreciate all the support

[@djtomygunz]

I think the deal was ahead of its time and people werent ready for it. At the time it seemed like gunit was industry and it took time for 50s grand plan to show he was for the culture. And like his strategy or not 50 became a culture icon 💪

[@TheHtownmuscle]

MOP always doin there thing....respect...

[@ApeeceovshytNaymedSpaz]

Well put

[@sugs1191]

Murda Ink and the rap media always make out like 50 screws people over and point out his fallout with people. But in truth this interview confirms what I always knew which is that 50 is a good guy who tries to help others out.

[@MrBMoreFitness]

i hadn't caught feelings for not even a second. I was just making observations on your observations but its all good man. This internet sh*t isnt serious to me at all, just felt like being funny since you seemed to want to be funny on my man lil fame. Much success 2 you boss (honestly) & peace!

[@cruddycuttcaniva7889]

U can tell something happened behind closed doors but they so real/grateful for having da opportunity, they allowed da good to outweigh da bad n not speak ill of dat man. Dats what’s up 💪🏾💯🫡

[@omgmazin]

Everything is rightly said,honestly you can't be focus on a label roster and.being a hit artist

[@nystagmus]

I like that mop song from the blade soundtrack

It is good to see that, a REAL Hip Hop group cares about the crowd and the listeners. I mean 1:29 ''You see what people was posting'' Thay may be a lesson to all that ''cats'' trying just to make money and not music for the audience. Amen to that...!!

[@backatitagain20]

[@keonsohn]

MOP and Mobb Deep used to be in G-Unit. Damn imagine if G-Unit released an album with MOP, Mobb Deep, 50 Cent, Lloyd Banks and Tony Yayo. That would've been crazy.

[@Kevinschart]

i'm just now learning these guys names....always referred to them as only MOP

[@ChorroHardMusic]

M.O.P. is a good group of rap, and here in Chile we hear this group a lot, but, in G-Unit they was great and maybe they must back to G-Unit, only for a tour maybe.
