CNN, the duo of MC's Capone and Noreaga made there name in 1997 with there best album to date "The War Report" which is highlighted by reality street raps from two hungry MC's, matched with memorable beats and quality production. Guest appearances come from Tragedy Khadafi, Imam T.H.U.G, Castro, Mussolini, Mendosa, Troy Outlaw, and Mobb Deep. After the intro the powerful "Bloody Money" gets things started, Capone and Noreaga rip up an echoing beat, showcasing two very distinct and impressive flows. Tragedy Khadafi who was a big part of this album drops in for the grimey "Stick You" and "Parole Violators" which also features Havoc of Mobb Deep. Things slow down and change with the standout "Live on Live Long", this is a sad sounding track where Noreaga pays tribute and shows love to those who are in jail and those who have past. Nore shines on this one singing his own chorus. The ominous "Neva Die Alone" brings things back to pace and is followed up the well known "T.O.N.Y." (Top Of New York) a track where CNN and Tragedy Khadfi talk about there ambitions backed by an ill beat. Next couple of tracks flow through well then Capone goes solo dropping a number of premium verses on the Marley Marl produced "Capone Bone". I am still waiting for Capone to drop a solo album hopefully it will happen soon. There is no such thing as "Halfway Thugs", CNN do a good job tearing into the fakes on this one. CNN then collabrate with Mobb Deep and Tragedy Khadifi on "L.A., L.A." (Kuwait Mix Marley Marl) a response to Tha Dogg Pounds "New York, New York", two tracks that are a reminder of the East-West beef which was still very much alive back then. Two more solid thugged out tracks follow in "Illegal Life" and "Black Gangsta". CNN then slows things down for the upbeat "Closer" which features some smooth R & B vocals from Nneka. Tragedy Khadafi deserves alot of credit, his strong presence is found all throughout this album whether it be on guest spots or production he helped CNN elevate there game. "The War Report" is an impressive album which I highly recommend for the collection.
