Review by Steve 'Flash' Juon

Artist: M.O.P. f/ DeMarco
Title: Street Life
Label: E1 Music

Did you think the hardest hip-hop duo to ever drop bombs out of Brownsville would never do a track with an Autotune hook? Think again. Furthermore, fuck killing it dead. If you've got Billy Danze and Lil' Fame flowing over one of Fizzy Womack's self-produced bangers, why not bring in somebody like DeMarco to croon the Autotune for the chorus? It ain't hurting shit, and might get them a little extra rotation to boot. It's not like the raps softened up. Danze: "Now you can sit around and watch it all go down around you/Or you can imitate the ways that killers and cons move/You can't simulate the days when they played by the rules/And if you wasn't in the maze you really can't drop jewels." MOTHERFUCKING M.O.P, WORRRD! "Foundation," coming soon to a mom & pop store near you and street corner bootlegger outside the bodega real soon.
