Nore is a Legend. Especially in Queens. Hyped to Hear this Album!
NORE has to be one of the most versatile artist career wise. From the War Report to N.O.R.E and Pharrell beats, then Reggaton to Drink Champs. Everything wasn’t for me especially the Reggaton lol but he’s reinvented himself like 4 times.
Co sign, N.O. is a true Queens hustler; know how to adapt to anything, anywhere. Him partnering with Nas and Mass Appeal made logical sense because of their history in music and Queens connection
LOL. You don’t know anything about real versatile artists like Kool Keith, Mike Patton, Kid Cudi, Ice-T, Todd Smith (of Dog Fashion Disco), Lil B, Burzum, SpaceGhostPurrp or Blu. Btw I was a huge NORE fan. I still have some of his cds on my shelves but he only tried to save his career and didn’t bring anything surprising or new.
I think you’re confusing “versatile” with “innovative”.
Thanks N.o.r.e for keeping real, none of that trap shit, no offence.
After the War Report Nore became a wack rapper. The war report was dope because Tragedy Khadafi wrote his lyrics. Probably he will be rapping about his life as a killer and drugdealer. So pathetic. Dude retire you are 45 years old. Leave rap to the kids.
shut your ass up hater lmao
Man, people show how stupid and shortsighted when they say “leave rap for the kids”. Leaving rap to the kids is what ruined rap. We need more grown rappers. Go listen to emo if you wanna listen to teen angst, you nerd. East Coast hophop is for men.
Album cover is dope. I respect Nore. I disagree with the dude under me. I think Nore was kinda weak when he first came out and the beats carried him. But I think he really improved over the years and became a legit MC. Also, being a dope MC isn’t only about rhymes. NORE has always been able to rock a crowd, be entertaining, not take himself too seriously, and be relatable. Everyone from NY knows a Nore type dude. Loud, funny, but still kinda thugged out. Nore is from my era, that’s my generation. One.
Kinda weak when he first came out? You probably weren’t around when the War Report came out. Nore did his thing on there so many classics songs on there not sure what you’re talking about.
Boy please…I was driving when the War Report came out. You think you’re the only old school head alive? Son, Nore was NEVER lyrical. You really wanna go back to those CNN lyrics and put them on display now? But lyricism was never his bag. He’s more of a comedic rapper with some street edge. He’s more along the lines of 50 Cent, ODB, E-40 type dude.
Still can’t believe NORE put his album out on Ass Appeal. His friendship with that broke woman beater hasn’t been always 100%. He helped put King HOV on that “All the Way Up” remix, helping end his feud with Fat Joe, who later signed to ROC Nation. NORE should’ve signed back to the ROC as well. Smarten up, Victor. It’s the ROC!
i always thought tragedy wrote his old lyrics and also maybe prodigy too
No capone feature. Nore your a bitch
THIS ALBUM IS KIND OF SUSPECT BUT VERY HIGH IN COMEDIC VALUE.
Nore was ok when we were all younger, but let’s keep it real, he sucks lol I can only mess with CNN albums. Pone balances him out
N.O.R.E. said Neptunes is homo in an interview.
This album is good. I mean Really Good!!
