N.O.R.E employs Pharell, Swizz Beatz for new LP

by FULLMETAL

MONDAY APRIL 30, 2007

With a new album in the works titled “Global Warming 11368”, rapper NORE is on the move, and plans to release the album in the late summertime. “With my last album, I wanted to let people know that I was Latino too, but with this album I really wanted people to know I haven’t lost a step,” the MC told Billboard.com. “I could still rhyme, I could still do great club music, I could still make street classics and I could still do what people love.” Featuring production from Scott Storch, OZ & The Deacon, Cool & Dre, and Grease as well, this album looks to be packed with heat. He also has released the first single “Throw em Under the bus” feat. Kurupt & Jadakiss”, and sports a heavy lineup of features, with T-Pain, Bun B, Tony Sunshine, Pharrell, and Swizz Beatz scheduled to appear.

Tracks like “Letter to Noriega” ( a letter to General Manuel Noreaga via rap), “Talking in My Sleep” (an ode to Big Pun, and his late father), and “Questions” where he squares up about his Def Jam departure, and anyones thoughts about he and Capone’s rocky relationship.

His recent mixtape tracks were pure fire and proved he didn't lose a step but that Throw em Under The Bus, ahhh Jada murdered everyone on that song. I wasn't feeling Nore at all. Everyone is trying to flood the market in the middle of the summer and then 80 artist are gonna drop in Nov and Dec while Jan - March goes naked. Go figure. Lets hope the album has a buzz and he can bring that War Report and N.O.R.E fire back.

Anyway, all you niggaz after me commenting, lets keep the fucking comments on the topic and no dick riding and net banging and anti artist comments. New rules are going into effect and apparent and obvious dick handling of an artist or stupid remarks will get noticed, you will be exposed and may lead to being banned. Ask Slugg120 and other members with stupid comments.

I smell a flop on the horizon for ol' N.O.R.E. The question is "How many verses will be hotter than N.O.R.E.'s?"

- I HATE IT when there's a news story about Nore, or Foxy, or somebody who hasn't dropped in a while, and people post and say "Who really cares" or "why are we still talkin' about..." or "why is this relevant". So,

Nore is a has-been, and slightly a never was. Other acts that take precedent over him?

Lupe Fiasco
Common
Jay-Z
Nas

Hell, I'd rather listen to my mom spit 16 bars. Nore should take his couple thousand dollars and open a corner store.

Guerilla Kid,

Me, J-Hov, SNB, Bollas and a few others are part of the anti stan movement and are trying to make the forum and message board a place to express yourself but cut the bullshit to a minimum. There is free speech but no reason to get into beef, make corny dirty dozen jokes and say you going to do something when everyone knows damn well you are not going to see anyone unless its by pure accident but you guys will walk by each other with out knowing. There are way too many people saying Lil Wayne is the greatest alive with no basis, and 50 is a snitch and Game is a stripper , and Dipset, Gunit shit all over the place and even where they don't belong. Every story with certain topic turns into a war and its pure bullshit. Bring something new to the table and move on.

you can e beef and debate about an artist and bring up facts and talk, but its the people who come in here and say the stupid one line comments with nothing to offer and constant spamming. its on the whole site. it went into effect yesterday. jokesta, fullmetal, joey crack and the people I named are keeping an eye out and just putting people on notice, get exposed where you are irrelevant to discussions and then we push the button on you. an example is in the single section, a lil wayne track comes out bullshit comments go in there and a 50 track and people leave comments with gggg unot and game tracks and offer nothing but dumb talk. its more then that but you get the picture. look for new options coming soon to the singles section! :0)

How are people sleeping on Nore? He spit some of the realest and hardest shit from his heart when he came out. Nore gave us hood classics and put us into that special mood. I guess everyone has their taste but when you say he was an almost never was, you are crazy.

GKid, Nore acknowledged that album was a mistake in his career. He said he was happy to expose a new sound and genre in music but he left his roots. Thats why he stated he has something to prove wit this album and he has that flow and lyrical ability that he had when he first came out. Hell even Melvin Flynt was decent. I can listen to the album skipping maybe once or twice the most and sometimes when I'm in a good moood, the whole album, but yea that last album was not for the average hip hop fan.

Wowwwwwwwwwwww... I just read through all the comments. I NEVER got a response from Slime Jones. That's A. B is, Nore's ass? Wowwwwwwww. I'm frustrated. It's not just Hip-Hop that's dead, it's this new up-coming generation that's effin lost man. Nore's ass? Wow. That's all I can say.

The War Report, which he did mostly by himself, IS A CLASSIC MAN. A CLASSIC. WOW. When's the last time anyone besides Nas or Jay or Kast or Scarface made a pure uncut, UNDEBATABLE classic? I know y'all ready 2 hop up and say the Carter 2, and GRODT, but I'm sayin, an UNDEBATABLE, UNANIMOUS CLASSIC!

Like I said earlier, this summer will mark the 10th anniversary of the War Report, so I hope he comes hard, wit' nona dat Reggaeton b.s.

I. 1.Nore has one of the most irritating flows to ever be heard in Hip-Hop
2. The beats were not that astounding. They were rather "meh", for the most part.
3. Can anyone stand Capones voice for more than 30 seconds?

Just because you like it a whole lot doesn't mean it's a classic. It just means you like it.... a lot.

Matic, War Report was a hood classic for you and I! I mean they brought the streets to you and not everyone is gonna feel them. Every single track on that album was hot. I talk to a lot of my friends and 36 Chambers is acclaimed a classic but they never felt or related to the album and don't consider it a classic.

Whoa Charismatic wit the B-more noise.

The War Report is a classic even though N.O.R.E. wasn't all that great back then either. It had a real street feel to it especially with Havoc doing a couple of the tracks. Truthfully NORE never dropped a "rap" album that did less than gold, shocking "huh". He's lost a step with todays fan base but those guest verses may make the album hot.
