This wasnвЂ™t only an album, this was our War Report, and a must listen for any student of Hip Hop.Д«lood Money, DriverвЂ™s Seat, Stick You, Parole Violators, Iraq (See the World), Live on Live Long, Neva Die Alone, T.O.N.Y. Days filled with chilling on the block, rolling up something, drinking Old-E (canвЂ™t believe I drank that), dealing, chest boxing, freestylenвЂ™ in the park, and ducking police. Even Noreaga, who has since abandoned the Islamic references in his rhymes, says вЂњMuslims keep Islam safeвЂќ in the brotherhood anthem Live on Live Long.ДЇor all those that remember this great body of work, re-listening to this album, some 10 years later, brings back so many good memories.

It would actually be surprising today if a major record label released an album full of common Muslim greetings (i.e Allahu Akbar, Inshalla) in this anti-Islam environment. Tragedy whose previous work consisted of political commentary rap filtered through Five-Percenter rhetoric was likely the reason the album contained so many Islamic references.

In fact, he is one of the first rappers I can recall that popularized the вЂњfunny adlibвЂќ that rappers today such as Jim Jones and Jeezy emulate.ДЄside from NoreвЂ™s charisma and authentic street cred, the album was also held down by rapper, Tragedy Khadafi, who appears on seven of the fifteen album cuts. His voice had a higher pitch, he had one of those off beat flows that some how sounds like it fits, and he had the mind state of kid gone wrong trying to roll the dice to change things for the better. He rose to fame in the mid-90s as one half of the prominent hip hop duo Capone-N-Noreaga (C-N-N) along with his friend, the rapper Kiam Capone Holley. He was a much different rapper in those days than he is now. Carrying on where Mobb Deep left off in 1996, theres another grimy hardcore duo doing the same style of New York rap in 1997 as emcees Capone and Noreaga (simply called Capone-n-Noreaga) deliver The War Report at a time when NY rap was becoming less street and more flashy and about jewelries. or the pseudonym Noreaga (after the dictator Manuel Noriega), Victor Santiago Jr. Tragedy Khadafi, Havoc - Illegal Life, Capone-N-Noreaga feat. Keep in mind, this was Nore before all the Superthug fame and the subsequent string of Neptune hits. CAPONE N NOREAGA c (Android, Iphone), Capone-N-Noreaga feat. Leaving Noreaga to hold down the majority of tape turned out to not be such a bad idea. He does, however, appear in interludes where he is calling in from jail -which has since popularized the вЂњjailhouse callвЂќ on everyoneвЂ™s mixtape and album. In fact, for half of the album, Capone doesnвЂ™t appear on any songs as he was sent back to prison for a parole violation. The album spun tales of drug deals gone good and bad, the ills of street life, brotherhood and the consequences of jail. What CNN brought back was hardcore street rap, which was a natural continuation of fellow QueenвЂ™s artist such as Kool G Rap and Mobb Deep.Д«acked by some of the best production hip hop has ever heard, courtesy of Havoc, Charlemagne, EZ Elpee, Tragedy Khadafi, Buckwild, Lord Finesse, Marley Marl, and DJ Clark Kent.
