Noreaga was a C-level rapper but I still love the N.O.R.E album

[Verbal Kint]

I loved Nore back in the day. Now I listen like

 

[winb83]

On some of his more famous singles he sounds like he just freestyled some gibberish and left it on the track. Back then The Neptunes really was blessing him.

 

[King Poetic]

Totally agree

 

[Toe Jay Simpson]

Ayo sitting on the Coli
Eating beef and Broccoli
Put a black gat out my hat
I’ll kill ya prolly

 

[Tres Leches]

on the lines like the internet

sometimes i dont know what he rapping about but he has a lot of bangers

 

[3rdWorld]

People loved his aggressive choppy flow..

 

[Mystic]

Me and my cousin played this album over and over while we would drive. Body in the trunk is


Nore was my fav barely lyrical rapper until Juelz came along. He got by on energy, hilarity, and game.

We used to just tell ho,s. Give me some head. Give me some head

They would be


To which we would respond. WHAT WHAT

Juelz is far from barely lyrical

 

[Damnshow]

He had a decent voice to sound convincing on some of those hard tracks.

Lyrically he had nothing to offer. Really was one of those rappers being carried by great production.

Had this on at the gym this week.
Prime Neptunes didn't miss.

It's kinda funny how he's gotten so big and popular with credible clout in the Hip-Hop world, considering he was just a mid-rapper during the 90s when many other artists, especially in the East Coast/NYC area, were by far better.

I mean those are standard bars from the 00s, something that Cassidy, Lil Wayne and other rappers had on repeat back in that era. Sure he was better lyrically than Noreaga, but not by a landslide or anything.

Nore got more bangers under his belt than Kendrick.
That should signal how weak rap is now.

He was a bit better than mid level. He's got tracks like Banned From TV with legends on it and never really had a problem linking up with them.

Tragedy was writing for him and helped greatly..

Nore was it for a minute! Man I adored NYC hip hop growing up. NORE was the first album I bought with my own money…

That Firm album, Melvin Flynt the Hustler, I bought all the Nore and CNN albums I was just playing War Report on Saturday that ish STILL go!!! Phone Tap was the reason I bought the second one lol…that video I was caught up lol…


But when you look back you certainly realize there were better rappers in that era but Nore was just different and that’s why we rocked with him
