N.O.R.E. previewed this last week, but this morning, he gave the full version to the Breakfast Club on Power 105.1. Even without a bottle, this one bangs. On a related note, Charlamagne Tha God revealed that he will appear on N.O.’s Superthug album. UPDATE: CDQ 57ave UPDATE #2: Dirty Version.

Although N.O. is from Queens, he kicks his feet up over Tyler, The Creator’s “Yonkers”. After that, he segues into a new track that will feature Styles P and Prodigy. 57thave

Pun talks about being nominated for a Grammy and wanting to be the first rapper to release a quadruple album. Ha! Rest In Peace, Punisher. Hearing the two artists trade jokes over a crackling terrestrial broadcast offers a sharp contrast to the highly monetized ways hip-hop figures control their own platforms […]

Truthfully, Ice Cube was supposed to kick this column off. He told me his song “Supreme Hustle” off War & Peace Vol. 2 (The Peace Disc) was criminally slept on. Unfortunately, his explanation was deleted on my recorder. Damn. But the show must go on and to usher things in the right way is Noreaga. N.O. reasons that “Grimey” off God’s Favorite should’ve been bigger and thinks “Bang Bang” was marred by the shooting outside Hot 97. Sidebar: On The […]

In the artwork for Capone-N-Noreaga’s debut, The War Report, the duo strike a pose with their platoons. But on N.O.R.E.’s side of the photograph, there’s a silhouette marked “traitor”.  During yesterday’s listening, N.O. identifies the rat bastard and explains why he excluded him from the final print.

During CNN’s interview with Hip Hop Wired, N.O. keeps it 100 and says that his Newport Chain was a bad idea. Don’t get it twisted though, he says he’ll still rock it. That’s the kind of ignorant shit we like!
