For some hip-hop fans being hard core means snarling on cue or adopting the thug pose of the week in order to impress the heads and scare the kids. True fans of the rugged know that such machinations may translate into pop success, but those hits often come at the expense of the hard-earned cred that rappers live and die for. M.O.P are far from household names, and even though they might offer in interviews that they would like to, if not grab the brass ring, at least touch it, you get the feeling that being grimy underground heroes suits this revered Brooklyn duo just fine. Protégés of the always superlative DJ Premier, M.O.P'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.
Warriorz might be the Brownsville champions' most commercially accessible offering, but if you're looking for sing-a-long melodies and rent-a-roughneck drama, look elsewhere. 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 First there were Pirates, then there were Ninjas, then came fire and the wheel. Then, on the seventh day came...the Vikings?! Five years ago, humble linguist and scribe Kineas P. Montague was caught between Pirates and Ninjas competing for their ancestors' treasures. He escaped not only with his life, but with all the treasures they sought! Now a mysterious inscription directs him to an even greater treasure - and a second confrontation with his relentless pursuers, the Pirates and Ninjas, leading them all to! the land of the ice and snow!
