 Capone-N-NoreagaWar Report 2: Before the War Release Date 2010 07 13 Label Ice H2o Records Rating:  The sequel to their debut album, The War Report 2, finds Capone-N-Noreaga catching that debut fire again some 13 years later and righting the ship after a decade of lackluster full-lengths. The opening &“Pain” puts the excitement right up front with the veteran duo furiously trading rhymes over a sample of the Exorcist theme, and dropping that twisted bit of humor that has always made them more than just grim (“My homie got cancer/And just found out that his wife is a dancer”). Singer Faith Evans adds a sweet hook to the hardcore anthem &“Hood Pride,” and when the guest shots from Nas, Busta Rhymes, and Raekwon play out like it was 1997 all over again, the album becomes a throwback lover’s dream. They should be sitting down for the closing &“Obituary,” which delivers a painfully long list hip-hop’s fallen soldiers over the coldest of DJ Green Lantern productions. Producers Alchemist, Scram Jones, and Buckwild also contribute prime beats, but it’s the lesser-known Dreddy K. Amarae who steals the show with the crooked Kraftwerk-like construction he throws under &“My Attribute.” David Jeffries, Rovi |
