N.O.R.E. Changes Name For Next Album

For N.O.R.E.’s entire career he’s been a “Nigga on The Run Eating”. But for his forthcoming album Student of the Game, he’s changing his alias to P.A.P.I. An acronym for “Power Always Proves Intelligence”.

“Sometimes if you’re lost, the best way to find where you’re at is to go to the beginning,” he explained. “My mother doesn’t even call me Victor, my father has never called me Victor, my teachers didn’t even call me Victor… My name in Lefrak City and my name in Queens is actually P.A.P.I., it’s not even N.O.R.E.”

    This nigga weak af and corny NEW yorkers just dick ride all their niggas

  20. How bout just drop the album- you’re not going to gain any new fans or buzz, you know ur label isnt going to promote the album, just do you. I always wonder why it takes certain artists yrs to drop an album/mixtape, and when they do they vanish again a month later- if this is ur career and ur not touring or ghostwriting then what are u doing?

  23. Anon DCPL says:

    smh in disbelief at this guy..you already had a track record, unlike TITTY BOI aka TWO CHAINS who was a D celeb rapper. The need to state this is dumb move Nore.

    “Hello? Jackson here. Yeah?..what? You found Manuel Noriega? In the Philipines? He has a mansion? Ok, we’re on it, right now. Bye”

    What, what, what, what, what, what, what,(what, what, what)
    What, what, what, what, what, what, what,(what, what, what)
    What, what, what, what, what, what, what,(what, what, what)
    What, what, what, what, what, what, what,(what, what

    Ayo we light a candle, run laps around the english channel
    Neptunes, I got a cocker spaniel/

    Best track intro ever…N.O.R.E. is a classic.

  24. Your Father says:

    Sounds insecure as fuck making this announcement.
    I used to be a huge NORE fan.
    Never had crazy bars but he’s always had charisma but the past couple of years he’s been so lost and trying to cling to what everyone else is doing.
    I say sign to Pharrell and fuck it.

  25. tharealcashmahall says:

    really smh wtf…..get outta here

  26. deez says:

    it’ll be wierd to not hear him on the track goin ‘n.o.r.e noreagaaa’

  27. Well at least the 300-500 people who actually buy the album will have a new name to read on it.

  28. CNN made a classic album, and NORE had a few joints on his first solo joint,, but it’s been all downhill since then.

    Sales are expected to heavily decline if you’re a NY rapper whose glory days were 15-20 years ago,, but with NORE it was the quality of music that heavily declined first.

    When someone gets a Newport medallion for their chain when in their 30s,, it’s hard to take them seriously the rest of the way…

  29. Elsonz says:

    I fux with Nore and Papi is usually referred to the drug lord with the work, if niggas been callin him papi all his life why front on it. Shit it worked for tity boi

  30. #lightwork says:

    About 10-12 years ago I fucked wit Nore musically, i also liked him in State propery 2, but seriously, dude is reaching these days. lmao
