Straight from the Projects: M.O.P.
Starring: M.O.P., Be Real [from Cypress Hill]
Director: Stephen Belafonte
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-caoting, no Hollywood
sets, no scripts, just real on-the-streets action as it unfolds with one hand-held camera capturing the guns,
drugs and violence that are 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, growing up in their hood,
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 to the heart
and soul of M.O.P.'s music and understand why their lyrics are so hardcore.
