What’s this I hear, huh? This is MY year” I returned off a short stretch, stuck in the mountains You still live with mommy, still get allowance Capone is definitely on a mission here – no pooh-butts allowed. The people dropping singles from this album at Tommy Boy definitely had the right idea by following up this banger with “Y’All Don’t Wanna” – it features a Nokio beat that is pleasantly reminiscent of DMX’s “What These Bitches Want” and will undoubtedly have even the hardest head-nodding thugs heading for the dancefloor to get it krunk. The flipside “Bang Bang” is almost over the top in it’s brooding machismo and chunky Alchemist beat – even Foxy Brown sounds butch in a cameo – but the energy of the track still holds it together nicely. producing a smooth piano groove that’s the perfect backdrop for Nore and Capone to present a fictional yet starkly real conversation between two thugs: one behind bars, and one still on the streets. Starting with their lead single though, CNN made the right moves.

That’s why to this day many heads still hail their debut album “The War Report” as a 90’s hip-hop classic.įor better or worse, that means that the expectations for a new CNN album are incredibly high compared to most other groups who put out their sophomore album. When he tag teams with Noreaga the results can be golden – each overshadowing the others shortcomings and building up their respective levels. Capone has a voice that is parts Nas, parts AZ, and parts MC Shan – sounding like the ultimate Queensbridge representative. Seuss in structure without even achieving the depth or complexity of his stories.įor that reason, many people are gonna be glad to know that his grimy crimey Capone just got released from doing a bid, and is ready to tag team with his partner. Whenever he blesses the hook of a song or makes a cameo, his trademark vocal tone makes a pleasant impression but served in doses of full length songs his lyrics often reflect a rhyme scheme that reflects Dr. The man certainly has his passionate supporters and detractors.

Even if you’ve been sleeping on this group for a minute or two, it would be pretty hard to be a hip-hop head and not at least recognize Noreaga, Mr.
