| Description | “Cold As Ice” is the second single from M.O.P.’s Warriorz album and is based around a sample from the 1977 track “Cold As Ice” by Foreigner. This would go on to be M.O.P.’s second most popular single after this album’s previous single “Ante Up (Robbin Hoodz Theory).” In Foreigner’s song, singer Lou Gramm addresses an unnamed lover who is leaving him. Billy Danze and Lil' Fame turn Foreigner’s accusation into a claim: those who challenge them will find the duo less than hospitable. In a 2016 interview with Zilla Rocca for Passion of the Weiss, Billy Danze talked about how this song came together: We were coming out of the record label and, right in Manhattan, somebody had thrown some records in the garbage and it was raining, pouring down rain. I think [Lil] Fame or [producer/manager Laze E] Laze grabbed them and was like, ‘Let’s see what we got here,’ and just let them dry out for a couple days and then Fame started going through them and he put that track together. That track is one of M.O.P.’s biggest records today and they still won’t let the song die. |
