  • www.vladtv.com - June 17, 2015 marked the 18th anniversary of Capone-N-Noreaga's classic debut album, "The War Report." The '97 collective put Lefrak City on the map, and according to Nore, it was so authentic because at the time, it was all he knew. "I couldn't think outside of Lefrak. Meaning, I never been nowhere," he recalls. "When I listen to that album, I really be like, 'I really didn't go nowhere.' I didn't experience life."
    Capone "had a different experience." The Queensbridge spitter was away in jail on multiple gun charges at the time "The War Report" was released. He knew the album was a success when the record label called him ready to give him any and everything he needed while he served his time. "I felt like, in a sense, I was God," Capone says.
    Watch on as they reflect upon their most influential album and tell the story of the time they punked former Vibe music editor Sacha Jenkins in yet another entertaining exclusive with "the Queensbridge duo."

    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...

    VLAD YOU SEEM TO DO IT EVERY TIME! Your lack of basic knowledge of the culture is incredible. MARLEY MARL & MC SHAN PUT QUEENSBRIDGE ON THE MAP! 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! It's almost like your knowledge of Hip Hop starts in 1993 ABOUT 5 YEARS LATE!

Most songs that we hear from the east coast are the ones that goes mainstream, other than that we wasn't really checking the east coast like that.
      Now with the internet & satellite radio, Im now catching up to a lot of good music. you can't blame me.
