M.O.P.
"Straight From The Projects"



[from liner notes]

Hosted By B-Real

Straight from the projects is a series about rappers returning to the gritty streets where they grew up. Rappers show you where it all went down in their hoods -- from day one. You'll visit the legendary places that inspired the music, and you'll understand what the lyrics are all about. No sugar-coating, no Hollywood sets, just the real on-the-streets action as it unfolds with one hand-held camera capturing the guns, drugs and violence that are a part of everyday life.

Hang out with M.O.P. on their stomping ground in Brownsville, Brooklyn, one of the toughest neighborhoods in New York City. You'll learn how M.O.P. got down, who they are and how they live from day to day . . . representing on the streets and keeping it real with one of the rawest crews around. Only by going back to the projects can you get the heart and soul of M.O.P.'s music and understand why their lyrics are so hardcore.
