"By the time that M.O.P.\u2019s 4th full-length hit in August of 2000, they were true vets in the rap game, with battle scars to prove it. Debuting seven years previous with \u201CHow About Some Hardcore?,\u201D the Brownsville, Brooklyn duo of Lil\u2019 Fame and Billy Danze had blazed a heavy path through the underground for the remainder of the decade, never faltering with an aggressive, brassknuckled vocal style, frequently bolstered by DJ Premier\u2019s top-tier backing.\nWarriorz was a true game-changer for M.O.P., as the album catapulted the pair onto the upper echelons of the rap charts, where they shared real estate with softer and cornier stars of the day. One major reason for the album\u2019s success was the runaway hit \u201CAnte Up (Robbin Hoodz Theory),\u201D produced by D/R Period, who broke them into the game with \u201CHardcore.\u201D The song \u2013 fueled by triumphant horn stabs and a diesel, four-to-the-floor beat \u2013 was the perfect mix of hard and catchy, and Fame and Danze flexed over it with finesse. To this day it is used everywhere from movie soundtracks to Sesame Street YouTube videos.\n\u201CAnte Up\u201D had plenty of high-caliber friends, starting with the album\u2019s two other singles: the strutting, funky \u201CG-Building\u201D and the tense and hardrocked \u201CCold As Ice\u201D (both produced by the group). Going back, the album lurches into full gear with a hometown anthem, \u201CWelcome To Brownsville,\u201D working down to the Premier-finessed groover, \u201CFollow Instructions.\u201D Further down in the sequence we have features like the piano-freaked \u201CHome Sweet Home\u201D (with Lord Have Mercy) and the mid-tempo, jazzy \u201CFoundation,\u201D which caps the group\u2019s fourth masterpiece.\nStaying true to their essence, the album flaunts hardest-of-hard Brooklyn bangers from start to finish. In an era where hip-hop was getting more syrupy than Nyquil, M.O.P. proved that they could hit the charts while staying raw. And the album still shines to this day."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
