The Chef mentioned something about “letting a new joint fly” the other night and today, it has landed. Plus CNN in the passenger seat.
Raekwon “Chupacabra” (Feat. Capone-N-Noreaga)

Raekwon “Chupacabra” (Feat. Capone-N-Noreaga) Classic f’n CNN (as the original 25 To Life incarnation with Tragedy Khadafi at the helm) doing their two biggest anthems live on BET’s Teen Summit (I miss this shit). Those good ole Hilfiger-Nautica-Army Jacket days. Once again, Mya on the sidelines as a dancer. There’s not much out there that can be compared to The War Report. It’ll stay that way, too. Big up my millz EV Boogie of UpNorthTrips.
First up is a mean Capone solo joint, probably for the original Pain, Time, & Glory LP (that heads were thirsty for after hearing joints like “I’m A Gangsta,” “Ride For ‘Em,” and “Queensbridge”). Definitely one of the better SPK beats I’ve heard as well. It always baffles me why certain tracks get left back as archival . Capone “Street News” (Produced by SPK) Next up is an ’01 oldie from N.O. and his M.U. bretheren, Moose, thuggin’ over Tha (Alkaho)Liks/Neptunes track, “Best U Can.” Originally released by DJ Clue on one of his many mixtapes…except this is the Clue’less version. N.O.R.E. & Musaliny “DJ Clue Freestyle (Best U Can)” (NO DJ)
While exploring dusty areas of my collection, I came across this compilation of CNN tracks. Bootlegs, B-sides and Freestyles, originally put together by DJ 1Mic. Kick back and enjoy the charismatic rhymes of hungry Queens bred intellectual crim-criminals. Download the tape here. Noreaga “DJ Clue Freestyle III” Probably my favorite of the recent finds on the ‘tube. I wish this was an original CNN beat. Nothing against Jay Electronica, but the combo of the Just Blaze heater and Nore really showed me how back to form things really are…prime example material. Let’s also not forget that Ice Water Inc. means that The Chef is on deck to help provide a platform for release…the influence is apparent…and that is one of the best things possible for their dynamic of 90′s fed, reference-heavy, image spewing, street rap. Here’s the whole joint with Pone on the 2nd round murder. |
