CNN: The War Report 2…

Raekwon managed the awesome feat of recapturing lightning and placing it inside of a bottle. I absolutely h8 albums that are sequels. It seems incredulous to create the sequel after a decade has passed. With Raekwon’s 2009 triumph ‘OB4CL2’ opening the lane for retro NYC rap, maybe CNN can find some similar success?

The War Report is one of rap’s great albums. Part of the reason is the energy and desperation contained in its sound. This album is as much a Tragedy Khadafi disk because his veteran influence helped shape the style of CNN. How can you make a WR2 without his presence. Very capably is the answer from Noreaga.

Capone and Noreaga sit down for a few questions after playing several tracks from the their upcoming project ‘The War Report 2’…

There’s a nice little spot in Brooklyn, tucked away on Smith Street in the Boerum Hill section. RIME NYC isn’t simply a sneaker spot tho’. They are lifestyle connoisseurs. I visited them the other day and chopped it up with the store manager about what RIME plans on doing for the 2010 summer…

Thanks to everyone that has been submitting beats for the GMR crew project. Let’s see what will come of this collective when all the dust settles. In the meantime and in between time while Roc Marciano prepares for the release of the Marcberg studio album and the Marcberg: Reloaded mixtape and Meyhem Lauren put the finishing touches on his solo project let’s take a look at some of the side projects that Sean P is busy with…

Band Of Ballers is put together by Converse and on Sean P’s team is Donnis, Stadium Dan (Kids-N-The Hall mgr), TJ the DJ and Jay Electronica. Sorry P, but y’all are gonna lose. Jim Jones has ex-NBA dudes on his squad. WTF?!?

Next up Sean P, Ruste Juxx and Marco Polo just did a date in Cambridge, Mass in support of the Marco Polo/Ruste Juxx project – ‘eXXecution’. Here we get to hear Sean P’s verse from the upcoming remix of Roc Marciano’s ‘Snow’. Grown Man Rap is in effect boyyeeee, go get a late pass.
