[DJ Premier]
Yeah, the time is now
Yeah, for all real niggas to step up
Fake niggas, step the fuck back; this is not for you
This is the real shit, always been the real shit
M.O.P., muthafuckas (First Family!)
Yeah, first of all, we would like to apologize for all the real niggas waiting for this album to drop
We do not apologize to all you fake ass niggas, for you are not important to us
It's official, we Warriorz, baby; cock and squeeze
This year, I hope we don't have to prove ourselves to you again
For this is home team
I repeat, First Family, M.O.P., salute

M.O.P.

M.O.P., short for Mash Out Posse, is an American hip hop duo.

The duo, composed of rappers Billy Danze and Lil' Fame, are known for their aggressive lyrical delivery style. Although they maintain a strong underground following, they are mainly known for the song “Ante Up,” released on 2000’s Warriorz, and with which they have had mainstream success.

The group has frequently collaborated with DJ Premier. Fame sometimes produces under the moniker Fizzy Womack, and has produced a significant number of tracks on all M.O.P. releases since 1996’s Firing Squad, as well as work for other artists including Big Noyd, Kool G Rap, Teflon and Wu-Tang Clan.
