Nine years after Capone-N-Noreaga's debut album The War Report was hailed as a Hip-Hop classic, the duo have ended a two-year rift and are considering a return to the recording studio to produce a new album.
N.O.R.E., born Victor Santiago, is asking fans to vote on whether or not they want a new CNN album via his myspace.com page.
The possible collaboration would be CNN's first studio project since their sophomore album The Reunion, which was released in 2000.
“I did 18-20 joints for my new album, and what happened was, while I was working on these joints and traveling, everywhere I went, people were like, ‘What’s up with the CNN, is there gonna be another CNN album?’” N.O.R.E told said. “So I opened up a poll on my MySpace.com page and people [the fans] have been begging for at least one more CNN album.”
Although he and Capone hadn’t spoken in over two years, N.O.R.E revealed to that they recently made amends.
“The other day he happened to reach out to me and I finally got over what we were going through and it look’s like we’re gonna go in [the studio],” stated N.O.R.E.
“It was just big differences,” N.O.R.E said of the rift. “At the end of the day, we answered our fans the politically correct way by saying I was doing Reggeaton. And I was doing five movies, so I was little bit busy. But the real story was there were a whole bunch of big differences."
In addition to a new CNN album, N.O.R.E is also working on another new solo album, despite the fact that One Fan a Day, an album he recorded two years ago, still sits on the shelves at Def Jam.
“This is going to be my most truthful album," N.O.R.E said of his new material. "Everything you gonna hear is gonna be real truthful, even if I hurt some record execs or if I hurt some of my fans. I’m gonna be honest with everybody. I got a track on there called ‘Rap is Like Wrestle Mania’ and people are gonna be mad at me."
While he’s excited about his new album, he’s just as disappointed with the results of his last album, the Reggeaton project, N.O.R.E. Y La Familia: Ya Tu Sabe.
“I was absolutely not comfortable with the results of the album,” N.O.R.E said. “At the end of the day, it didn’t turn out the way I expected it to because of label support. When you got people who didn’t spend any money and promise you a whole bunch of things, it’s like ughhhh."
