The War Report was a unique album in many ways

[987654321]

Growing up in the south, this is one of those albums I wouldn’t have visited until I was close to or already an adult. We would stay with my big cousin from Memphis during the summer, and he was best friends with our cousin from Harlem.

His rap music collection was extremely diverse. I would browse all his tapes and CD’s looking for features I recognized and listen based on that. I listened to War Report based on the Mobb Deep, Busta, and Khadafi features, and loved it from front to back.

It’s such a fun and well balanced album for its time. A true classic and time capsule. I don’t know if it extended everywhere but so many of my friends fans of Capone and Nore’s energy in metro Atlanta.

There are (at least) 4 different versions of LA LA:
1. album version (Kuwait mix)
2. Original Version (Dogg Pound NY NY beat, no Prodigy verse)

Spoiler

3. Original Version w/ Prodigy Verse (It's the Prodigy verse that was later used on Live nikka Rap from IWW, and it's the Dogg Pound NY NY beat). It has Tragedy talking shyt in the beginning, making fun of the LA slang "You seen Trey-Dogg foo?!"

Spoiler

4. Iraq Mix (it's the same sample as DPG NY NY but it's a tad different, not the exact same.

Spoiler

Is this the OG Thug Paradise?




There's Alluminati with Trag & Iman Thug, then there's Noremati which is the Nore solo version. Not sure if you're counting both of those.

Why do you have Never Die Alone listed? Is there a version that's different than what's on the album?

I'm not familiar with New Breed, drop a link plz


When you list Iron Sheiks, what are you referring to? As far as I know, they only had a few songs (True Confessions, Alluminati, The Bridge 2000 and a couple freestyles. Is there a track called "Iron Sheiks"?


Freestyle over Who Shot Ya? & Bytches Ain't shyt w/ Cam'ron and Mase

Spoiler

The Bridge 2000 (dropped in 1998)

Spoiler

Tony Touch Freestyle over Mobb Deep's Nighttime Vultures

Spoiler

TONY Desert Strom/Clue Remix

Does Mobb Deep/Tragedy - First Day of Spring Count? (I think that's a HoE leftover, or Pre-Hell song)

There's Capone & Tragedy feature "The Turnaround"



Nore & Nas Hot 97 Freestyle

Spoiler

There's also the mythical "Criminal Warfare '99" that's CNN + Tragedy Khadafi + Mic Geronimo. The lyrics are online, but I've been searching for this song for 20 years and never once heard it

I think we have most/all of it.

I did the same thing back in '09, I have it all on an external hard drive. I'll track it down and see if we forgot anything.

Is New Breed on YouTube?
