The now cult-classic, featured strong underground overtones and served as a turning point in Hip Hop, bringing a more hardcore sound and is credited for reviving East Coast Hip Hop and signaling a return to realistic, gritty, street aesthetics. Despite the projects underground appeal, it also found massive commercial success. Lead by singles, \"L. A. , L. A. , \" \"T. O. N. Y. (Top of New York), \" \"Closer, \" and \"Illegal Life, \" \"The War Report\" has since been certified Gold by the RIAA and continues to garner spins on radio stations around the globe. Thanks to N. O. R. E. 's unorthodox lyrical delivery and Capone's streetwise slang and Five Percenter references, Capone-N-Noreaga brought new life into the Gangsta Rap sub genre, becoming an instant underground phenomenon, and making them both a household name within the hardcore Hip Hop community. Topping out at #21 on the Billboard 200 and #4 on the Billboard Top R\u0026amp;B\/Hip Hop albums chart, \"The War Report, \" continues to prove itself as a must have amongst record collectors.

Released in 2000 on Tommy Boy, the album fi nds Capone and Noreaga leaning into their chemistry: Capone's colder, clipped delivery grounding Nore's wild-eyed charisma and off-kilter bounce. The record features heavyweight production and appearances from names like DJ Premier, The Alchemist, Havoc, L.E.S., Nas, Mobb Deep, Foxy Brown, and Carl Thomas, surrounding CNN with some of New York rap's most recognizable voices and architects. Highlights like \"Bang Bang,\" \"Invincible,\" \"Queens Finest,\" and \"Phonetime\" keep the album rooted in hard drums, prison-call tension, borough pride, and that unmistakable CNN slang. Commercially, it made a solid showing, reaching No. 31 on the Billboard 200 and No. 8 on Top R\u0026amp;B\/Hip-Hop Albums, with \"Phonetime\" hitting No. 22 on Hot Rap Songs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eThe Reunion stands as a hard-nosed second chapter for CNN: a tough, guest-heavy, post-millennium Queens record that captures Capone and Noreaga reconnecting without sanding off the grime.
