3.0 out of 5 stars 10 years of gunnin' gets them only 40 mins??!!?!?!?!, October 4, 2004

This review is from: 10 Years & Gunnin (Audio CD)

Let, me start off by saying I'm a huge M.O.P. fan. I'll always support them and whatever they put out. But this "Greatest Hits" album does the duo a huge disrespect.

This album barely clocks in at 40 mins with only ten tracks. First of all if you know M.O.P. you know they have enough to fill up two discs. Mabey the label thought they couldn't find anymore material, but if so why release the album at all? They dig up the weakest garbage for those Milliennium Collection albums and somehow make meaningless music careers span over 60 minuets of material, so what the hell happened here?? Warriorz, their best is almost twice as long as this album!!!

It's not even a good introspective of their career. Of the ten songs, only 1 is from there first album, 3 from both Firing Squad & First Family, two from Warriorz and one remix from Warriorz. Even then for the most part they're not even the best songs on each album. Where's "Stick To Ya Gunz" or "Calm Down", who are they trying to appeal to by sticking the track with Jay-Z on it over these?

Another thing is that the label made no effort to appeal this album to long time fans (who are probably most likely to buy it anyway). Over there long careers they have done many guest spots, soundtracks, and remixs. No "rare" tracks appear on this ablum and the only one that could be considered an exclusive track is The Ante Up (remix) which is fairly new anyway. Where's anyone of there spots on a Gang Starr album? Or "No Mercy" from Pharoahe Monch's album etc. Where's "1/2 & 1/2" from Blade or even "W.O.L.V.E.S." from Training Day??

The material on this album is by no means bad, it's all great M.O.P. stuff. But, anyone who knows M.O.P. knows this is suspect. Just like with Roc-a-Fella M.O.P. is totally getting the shaft here, can't the labels just release M.O.P. for what it is???
Do your selve a favor, support them and buy this album if you want, but don't deprive yourself of the material they have. If you judge M.O.P. based on this album alone, you don't even know the half.

seeing Mobb Deep and M.O.P. sign with Gunit Records is like Seeing Jesus being good friends with Lucifer.
