Bout to bang this right now. Looking forward to this for a minute.
-
Yeap got on this yesterday and it bangs pretty hard! Not the original but might be my second fave! Good shit right here 8)
-
Where's T.O.N.Y. Pt. 2?? I remember Just Blaze produced it & supposedly it was freakin' dope.
-
bout to check this out 8)
-
Album is KNOCKIN. Beats are insane on this. Great follow up
-
Scarface uses the same sample as I'll Still Kill?
-
I bumped a good amount of this last night, will have to bump in its entirety later but most likely will be coppin' this 8)
-
way better than channel 10!
-
1. Pain - Dope beat and CNN are spitting. Fits well with the album title/theme too. Great opener! - 4/5
2. Bodega Stories - This one is rawer. Nore spit well. CNN/LOX have good chemistry on here too. - 4/5
3. Dutches V Phillies V Bamboo - This beat is pretty dope. Raekwon sounds good over it too. Another dope album cut. - 4/5
4. My Attribute - Never heard of this producer but this is super hot. This is the best track so far IMO, but not by much. - 4.25/5
5. Favor for a Favor - Nore fast[er] flow on the first verse works. Hook is cool too. Not as good as the rest but still good. - 3.75/5
6. Hood Pride - Has more of a mainstream feel but still a good one. This is good potential radio music right here. - 3.75/5
7. The Reserves - Just straight raw NY hip hop. Love the back and forth of it. - 4.25/5
8. With Me - This beat is HARD. This is the best track on the album so far. Had high expectations and it delivered. That dark, hard hitting sound in the beat every few seconds is dope. - 4.5/5
9. Live On, Live Long Pt.2 - Sounding humble on here. Nore spittin' real shit about when Capone was locked up. Another good album cut. - 4/5
10. The Oath - Beat is cool. Nore on point on verse one. Capone was decent. Raekwon was dope. Lovin' the theme of this. The in betweens of the verses works. Busta spits too. - 4.25/5
11. Brother from Another - Hook is eyy. Beat is cool though. Meaningful verses but it's stuff they just spit on Live On, Live Long pt.2. Still a good cut. - 3.5/5
12. Thug Planet - Not much to say other than it's a cool track. 3.75/5
13. Scarface - Beat is cool and hook is alright. Another decent cut. - 3.75/5
14. The Corner - Always liked Avery Storm. He's good on here and we get lots of him. - 3.75/5
15. Obituary - Beat is hard. Lots of early talking. Even the verses kind of seem like talking more than rap. 3.5/5
Overall: 4/5
Slight drop off near the end but still a pretty good album. Much better than Channel 10 and even better than The Reunion IMO. That puts this album 2nd in their catalog, only behind The War Report which understandably, they'll never top. Having this as their 2nd best album is a big compliment.
It's pretty clear that the worst tracks on here are probably the ones that mean most personally to CNN (Obituary & Brother from Another). And the best tracks is when there simply spitting hard.
The best thing that can happen to veteran artists like CNN is what happened on there last album.They put out an unlike them club lead single (Rotate) and have the album flop. That makes them realize that's NOT what CNN album purchasers want to hear from them. They switch it up on the very next album and go back to their roots. Seen it happen a million times before. Glad same thing happened to CNN on "War Report 2" here.
Great effort.

yall make sure u go out and cop this album!!! it's worth the loot! bought it at best buy for $7.99. one of the best albums to drop this year.
pretty much agree with u on the review lunatic. as for now "favor for a favor" and "the oath" gets mad burn in the ride. of course it'll never top the original so this is like number 2 or 3 in their album list. still debating whether its better than "the reunion" cuz that was a very solid near classic album for me.
definitley a step above last years channel 10 which was a 3.5 due to several filler tracks with weak production, hooks and rhymes. glad nore stepped up his rhyme/flow game on wr2.
wished "t.o.n.y pt.2" produced by just blaze would've made the final cut. have yet to hear it, unless they're saving for tragedy to spit on since he's now out.
-
Gotta check this out
-
solid album, some tracks bang, some really dont, but overall cant complain too much...better than ive heard from CNN for a while...
btw, does anyone else find the "you are now listening to araabmuzik" drop really annoying after the 3rd or 4th time? totally unnecessary all the way through the track imo
