^are you an idiot? Check ITunes

M.O.P. said in a interview during the hype of Warriorz that they didn’t care for the money and didn’t spend it for more then common needs, like plumbing and electricity, so they don’t care about the record sales. The album itself was a bit rushed, but overrall it was pretty good.

This was CD only. Me and a lot of other people don’t even consider CD only an official album release. It’s more like a mixtape if they can’t even be bothered to press it up on wax. I own almost everything MOP ever released. On wax. I’m a big fan. But I don’t pay money for CDs, that’s the wack. It would have sold better if it was wax only. MOP fans aren’t CD heads. Kids don’t buy MOP.

I have no idea what these hater dudes are talking about. It’s no masterpiece, but it’s far from trash. I finally got around to listening to the whole thing through today. The standouts are: “Bang Time”- hard as fucc – and “Forever and Always” – hip-hop brilliance. Statik Selecta is way underrated. He has a golden ear. The rest of the joint is totally soild. The only real stumble is the auto-tune “Street Life” nonsense that Koch pushed them into.

Although this may sound like blasphemy, the more laid back street life tales are sounding better to me than the wild out MOP. I think they perfected riot starting shout rap in the Warriors era. An older MOP still gets live, but sounds better when it’s contrasted with a moody track, rather than trying to recapture “Ante Up” type of magic. I’d love to hear them 1) focus more on moody tracks. 2) do a whole album with Statik Selecta.

There is no album that goes harder this year, Rae, has not lost a step he still paints that vivid picture 4 ya like on the song fat lady sings i only wished he would have gave me 1ne more verse. Mop will always be one of my favorites long live real hiphop.

always been a fan of M.O.P since the “How about some hardcore” days but to say this is one their best albums is straight bs , they fell off in a big way .The reason why the first couple of albums worked so well was the crazy beats Premo gave em but this is some low-low-dated-no-vibe crap beats on this album if you gonna do shouting and screaming rap the dam beats gotta bo on point or its just sounding stupid and boring… i didnt know they where releasing this album either none whats so ever promotion for this album . it’s a shame that the old rappers never get the beats they deserve nowdays, if they only reached out to the younger generation NOT in US tho but to the heads out in Europe who still know how to do that propper non watered down boom bap sh*t with a fresh approach , instead of trying to do their own beats cuz they dont have a budget to get Premo , Pete Rock beats anymore… thoughts?

Koch lost their distro in oz. That’s why you couldn’t buy it in the store, dummy.

Honestly I tried to get the album several times but I couldn’t find it at any store. They had tons of Raekwons and tons of the new Krs & buckshot but not one fuckin MOP copy. When i tried to get it from amazon or another online shop they said the shipping would take 13 days so i was like fuck it…

even itunes didn’t have it!

I didn’t like the album that much anyway, I just wanted to support the group cuz i was a fan from day one but if they can’t get their shit together and fuck up their whole distribution then I’m not willing to waste my time lookin for their shit.

The Raekwon number would have been way higher if you could actually find a copy anywhere. I had friends all over the world having trouble finding a copy at their local.

EMI and sleeping retailers; ball officially dropped.

Nobody wants to listen to two 40-year old faggots who are STILL rapping about robbing people or handing out beatdowns. It’s time to move on.

I saw it pop up for download & that was the first time I even heard about a new MOP album.. I heard Fame had a solo coming out but nothing about the new album.. I downloaded the shit thinking, here we go, yet another random compilation.. The artwork wasn’t anything new OR special.. I was shocked to hear all new tracks.. Sharks in the water Track 12, is my shit… I’m gonna go & see if Jb’s stocking it.. I kinda doubt it.
In closing, I blame the sheer lack of Publicity & cunts like me who downloaded the shit thinking it was some mixtape-ish. 2000 records sold is Sad as fuck, They’ll get my purchase, when I find the shit.. This is is in Richmond should be stocking this. i’m out.

M.O.P. is one of my all time fave groups. from “To The Death” to “Warriors” they kept upgrading their dope. Ante Up and Cold As Ice were big singles and they should have been precursors of big things. then they tried to sign to labels whose brands are more famous then the groups they sign and…you know the rest. Their fan base sure didn’t expand in the last 9 years. and the energy in their music is not what it used to be. it doesn’t help that the industry has almost entirely collapsed. Billy and Fame spent their peak years in record label purgatory and weren’t unable to fructify those situations in any way. i heard them say that beeing with 50 they were able to clear all their debts. however in the “Foundation” cd sleeve it says appearing curtesy of g-unit…

1.) Lack of BIG chart single or video

2.) 9 (NINE!) years sonce the last proper album

3.) Illegal Downloads

4.) Bad release timing
