''the mash out posse is comprised of rappers billy danz and lil fame, who also uses the alias fizzy womack, primarily when he produces songs for other artists. the duo's energetic shouting, ranting, and raving, all to the tune of a dr period instrumental, won them a small group of fans (as did the song's video), and earned them a deal with select records to release a full-length debut, 'to the death', in 1994.
'to the death' was a dark and grimy album, punctuated by the timely chants of billy danz and lil fame, whose energy levels were infectious. while most (good) rap songs made you want to sing along to the track (an involuntary response that has gotten many a white person in trouble), m.o.p.'s tracks made you want to scream, and then kick an old man down the up escalator, just so you can kick him again in about ten seconds. it gets the heart rate pumping, and probably should be utilized in most exercise workouts.
'to the death' didn't sell billions of copies, but the few that it did move off of the shelves helped build word of mouth among hip hop fans, including folks within the industry, such as dj premier. and even though some of their business moves have been suspect throughout their long career, 'to the death' showcases the duo in their purest form.'' - hiphopisntdead.blogspot.com
