Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Warriorz might be the Brownsville champions' most commercially accessible offering but if you're looking for sing-along melodies and rent-a-roughneck drama, look elsewhere. MOP are far from household names, and even though they might offer in interviews that they would like to at least touch the brass ring, you get the feeling that being grimy underground heroes suits this revered Brooklyn duo just fine. Protégés of the always superlative, DJ Premier M OP's bite is bracing and fierce, and even when the duo aims for some accessibility (à la their raw but hook-laden single "Ante Up" or working with R&B duo Product G&B on "Everyday") their sound and stance is still unrefined and unrelenting. Even when these guys play nice they still can't play by the rules, which means that the faithful will be happy indeed. --Amy Linden

MOP's new album "Warriorz" is a blueprint for a near perfect hardcore hip hop album. Of course it couldn't be perfect because what would they do next, but I don't feel MOP want to be associated with the word 'perfection'. Lets get it straight from the start, this album is raw, angry and powerful. Throughout their previous albums MOP have developed and grew in vocal strength sounding larger than life on their latest effort. From the opening to the closing track the album kicks along at a pace that will have you head nodding the entire duration. Beats come courtesy of Primo, DR Period, Lazy Laze and MOP themselves and each song is a street anthem that finally gives the hardcore heads something to chew on and digest. From Primo's up tempo 'Follow Instructions' to the albums strongest moment, 'Cold As Ice', this is solid hip hop that doesn't fail on any point. MOP have remained fairly under-rated in the past and if 'Warriorz' doesn't blow them up then the hip hop world has committed an unforgivable sin. Support real hardcore! 'Ante Up'.

I won't lie, I'm a huge MOP fan, and was waiting for this album with thickly baited breath. Indeed, it took many trips down the road in precarious conditions, to surrounding towns and every shop I could find, until I got hold of this album...which happened incidently when it was raining hard and I was soaked to the bone. But after all the waiting, all the horrors I had to endure, was the album worth it? Well, on the way back from the shop on that rainy day, drenched like you wouldn't believe, my friend said 'Imagine if this album, after all we've been through, is really crap. If they've just sold out, gone R&B or pop.' I said 'No, even if they had done MOP would pull through...' And this is possibly their best album yet. It has the professional production, far surpassing Firing Squad, and the rugged hardcoremanship we'd expect from them, pushing First Family 4 Life bank into the past. The only album that can compare is the original, To The Death, and the variety of Warriorz is enough to beat even that away. The actual album has a variety from the featured R&B stylings of Project G&B with an MOP to edge, to the over-jazz of Nig-gotiate and the absolutely immortal Ante Up that will move you like no other track- physically. Teflon plays his part like the bonofied backhand man that he's always been, while Lord Have Mercy performs another great feature and the sampled Cold as Ice shows through their old-skool rootz. It's just...a brilliant album...if you're a fan and you don't have it then you should be thumping yourself with a metal shoehorn for being so foolish, and if you're not a fan then this is the album to start on, because it has everything you could want.

I bought this album because I enjoyed Ante up so much I thought, nothing to lose! Was right, this album is top class. Sounds great in the car and the songs are all good. Has an old school feel to it as well. Buy it if you get the chance and like HopHop.
