A LIL LATE - BETTER LATE THAN NEVER... BUT I LIKE THIS ALBUM ESP #9 . I WOULD RECOMMEND IT.. IF U DONT ALREADY HAVE, THEN GO GET IT
THE FIRST AND LAST ! - GREAT CD THE BEST AND LAST OF CNN AFTER THIS CD NO-OTHER THEY FELL OFF
Classic NYC hip-hop.... - Queensbridge and Iraq connect on an underground classic... Albums like this today are far and few.. The only knock on CNN is that they don t make too many group albums together to be considered on of the greatest...
Special Report - People watch CNN channel 10 for The War Report on how Capone, Norega,and Tragedy Khadafi stay Top Of New York! They went all out with this one with the whole Iraq and Kwait thing. I believed the production from Tragedy and Havoc blew this album away. Despite Capone in jail for a parole violation, Noreaga had to do lots of tracks without him, and he was well missed on the tracks that he deserved to be on. But Noreaga and Tragedy held it down while he was locked up.There are tracks that stand out like Driver Seat with Iman Thug and Busta Rhymes (if you want to count him in -even though his verse was removed), T.O.N.Y. the lead single, Stay Tuned (Thug Paradise Interlude), Capone Bone- people stop hating on this song! I love this song for some reason, Halfway Thugs- Nore rips this one up, L.A.,L.A.- the response to The Dogg Pound s N.Y.,N.Y. Nice CD overall, but unfortunatly neither one of them can rhyme like the way they used to.
Read The Headlines - Soon after appearing in The Source s Unsigned Hype, Capone -N- Noreaga signed to Tommy Boy and released their debut The War Report. This Queens Bridge duo has an unmatched chemistry with Capone s raspy flow and Noreaga s up-beat slang makes a good one, two punch. The first song, Bloody Money, has Nore single handedly flowing over a multi-piano sample. As most of the songs are being aided by Tragedy Khadafi you could still hear for example on Capone Bone where these two can handle themselves even on a smooth R&B tune. Because Capone was jailed during the middle of production, his appearance is dearly missed as said on Live On Live Long. Iraq (See The World) featuring Castro, Musolini, Mendosa & Troy Outlaw is a track over a loud violin loop that brought the frontlines closer to Lefrak. Track 12, which is actually called Thug Paradise was typed Stay Tuned (Interlude). As The War Report segment begins, Peter Jennings would still tune in.
