War Report...that album was a definite classic...grimy, antisocial New York hood mentality...the beats back then had that hard snare with samples and monoton drum loops...raw, uncompromising and militant message with great flows and raw voices...

"And i dont even drink like that... i sell crack"

One of the most defining hip-hop albums of the golden era!!!!! PS: Hey N.O.R.E. for the die hard fans of the true era, we need an official on who produced the two rare classics "Married To Marijuana" and "Calm Down." Ez Elpee or Marley Marl for "Calm Down" and Charlemagne for "Married To Marijuana" are most peoples picks, are we right?

My favorite album ever. War report. Every song is lit

Funny how this is one of the Vlad's better interviews and it only has 23,500 views. Shows where Hip-Hop's mind is right now.

CNN and the war report became synonymous with lefrak also, whenever I tell people lefrak, they say cNN so nore's plan of making lefrak known has worked for sure !!

When Nore mentioned "Soul Sisters" at 13:53 he meant the group Finesse & Synquis

I really appreciate these interviews Vlad. You have 3 legends on your sofa with a ton of knowledge between them and you ask the right questions to prompt them and then you sit back and let them speak. I can also tell you’re genuinely a fan of these men as well. Some of your best interviews.

"I got caught with this this and that as well as one of those." I was like GAHDAMN! Talk about packin' heat!

Just listened to T.O.N.Y this morning, one of the best albums made

The War Report, One of my fav albums of all time. I even got a war report shirt!

Great interview!!! It's always remarkable to see hip hop grow up.

that album is a 10 mics

Tragedi khadafi-"im a thug" shouldve been on that album..that song was craaaaack

Classic. Bought it when it first dropped. Damn! I'm old

I wore the writing smooth off my War Report cassette in 97.

I fucks with them socks .

Capone under-rated mc he kilt every track on that Reunion album that album slept on too

War Report is a classic for me..Respect.

living legends the war report is a hip hop classic one of my favourite albums of 97

4:19 they caught Pone with a military bag! "I wasn't playing" lol.

The CRAIG G on DroppinnScience, "and what this means is / we'll be the dopest duo coming out of QUEENSBRIDGE". Then Tragedy, THEN NAS, THEN MOBB DEEP, THEN CAPONE (of Capone & Norega), THEN BABY SHAM OF FLIPMODE SQUAD! Man, I wish you'd learn your HIP HOP HISTORY! But I guess it's due to age. History gets lost with age. But the guys you Interview and debate with that EMINEM IS GREAT! HOW CAN YOU SAY THAT WHEN YOU DON'T KNOW THE HALF!

I have to say one thing. I grew up in New York in the 90s and remember when people would buy a CD then put their speakers on their fucking windows and loop the CD for 2 and 3 days at a time, that shit was so fucking annoying. That's one thing I seriously don't miss about the 90s.

I still have my original copy of the war report. it's still a banger today. I met Capone at my friends house in 2008. He pulled up in a hooptie an a ratty looking white furry coat. He was mad cool,down to earth and took a pic with me that I still have on my Facebook. Good to see him &Nore putting out music.

I did meet and talk with Capone in 08 as he was cool with my best friend at that time and he stopped at her house to chill while I was there. Still have my picture with him on my Facebook, I'd post here but youtube does not allow photos or links in comments. Not sure why it's so farfetched to believe that a regular person met a rapper over a decade ago, but my guess is you're just a bored, miserable person with no life considering you felt the need to reply to a comment I wrote FIVE YEARS ago, lol ,I wasn't going to give you the attention you so desperately need by replying but it's a New year and I was feeling generous ;)

You saying Capones too "cool " to chill with women? He only hangs with dudes? Lol.And limelight? Sorry child but I'm not looking for clout or fame. That's not possible on a YT comment and I'm too old for that childish ish.Just got lucky to meet a rapper as an adult that i admired as a teen and I'm sharing that memory here. I'm the one that met him and you just sound really angry and bitter about it for no reason cause if you knew anything about Capone, you'd know he's mad cool, down to earth and has no problem talking to a fan. And no disrespect to Capone but if I was the type to lie for clout, I'd probably pick a more modern, well known rapper, not someone whose peak was in the 90s.Nowadays I don't really listen to rap anymore, or even Capone much with the exception of some the 90s stuff that's nostalgic. Don't really care what you believe as I'm convinced you're either a troll or some dumb kid who never had the opportunity of meeting anyone. You sound like you got some kind of hard on for Capone though he'd likely smack the ish outta you cause you basically disrespecting him. And yea, it is lame to reply to a 5 year old comment especially if you just gonna spread negativity and sound like a jealous female. Grow TF up as no way your an adult. I'll gladly show my pic with Capone if someone wanna try and call me a liar. Same name on Facebook as it is here, Winter Lynn and my last name starts with an H. Not hard to find.
