Pretty Solid - I never really felt Noreaga after the war report but this cd was pretty tight, i liked the beats alot, the skits are really REALLY annoying but other than that this was dope, 4.5 stars.my top 3Gangstas watchblood moneyfirst day home
Wat Wat - yo Noreaga is one da best..his style n flow is like no other, straight up gangsta, n if u dont like him then u just a herb n dont kno hip hop..go buy ur soft nelly album....but for da real nigga$ out there dat feel dat Queens rap, this album is just for you...
OMG - I don t know why record companies put up with this foolishness. This cat cannot rap. The song Cocaine Business featuring Kelis is the only track I care for and only because Kelis hook is the best part in the song. N.O.R.E. raps like I play basketball...and I can t even dribble.N.O.R.E., GET A APPLICATION FOR BURGER KING AND KEEP UR MOUTH SHUT!
4.5 star 2nd solo album - Noreaga is back a year after his solo debut to bring another strong performance. Slighly less quality than N.O.R.E. but much better than his God s Favorite. If you know Nore than you get what you expect on this one, Gangsta tales with a few deep songs. the album starts off great, much like his first album did but dwindles in the middle. Guests are few and mostly members of his crew. Production is handled by alot of people, most notably: Neptunes (2), Swizz Beats (1), EZ Elpee (2), SPK (6 songs), Manny Fresh (1), and a few others. It has 2 songs I skip, 3 that are ok, 2 classics and the rest are solid. A must have rap album.#2 - 10 (classic deep song about his pops -- f/ maze -- good beat -- also on Belly soundtrack)#3 - 9.5#4 - 9 (f/ maze & musolini -- good beat)#5 - 9 (f/ kelis --- good story)#7 - 9.5 (good beat)#8 - 5.5 (f. missy elliot)#9 - 8 (f/ musolini -- about going legit to get money)#10 - 7.5 (f. final chapter)#11 - 6 (f/ scarlett o harlem)#12 - 8 (about his 1st day home from jail)#14 - 9 (f/ final chapter & troy outlaw {R.I.P.} -- good beat)#15 - 7.5#16 - 7#17 - 10 (classic w/ great beat -- f/ maze, musolini, juvenile, lil wayne)#18 - 9 (good beat -- about the corrupt NYPD)Victor Santiago -- b. Bronx, NY moved to Lefrak City, Queens, NYWHAT WHAT!!!!check all my reviews
