I still have this one @ 4 stars today. I'm going to spin it again this week. Still remains Nore's best solo album. |

| I'm on the same page as Terry. 4.5-4.75 for me. Not many wasted moments on this album. Top 50 for the east coast easily. And it may be a personal classic. |

Good call Kev, regarding this album not having too many wasted moments. |

| I'll say about 4.25 stars. Dope album but not on the level of The War Report IMO. |

Certainly not on the level or even close to War Report. I heard that Nore was planning to do N.O.R.E. 2 (sequel trend anyone, lol). |

Wow Kev, you're the first person I know to call War Report "boring", but it's all good though. |

| We need to retool this section... I'd say a lot of this stuff isn't really "old school" |

I agree that 2000 is a little too late for the cut off. There is some grey area, though... | |

| There is some gray area, but using the 106 and Park definition isn't the answer. I'd probably suggest 1990 and before. |

| Maybe just start a new section for the 90s...I wouldn't call most of that decade "new school". | |

| I'm also in favor of "retooling" the Old Skool Hip Hop section. |

| Instead of an Old School and New School section, we should have an 80's section, 90's section, and a 2000's section. It would only add 1 section, but it eliminates issues like this | |

C'Mon Son, GTFOH with that bullshit. The War Report destroys NORE on every level. Lyrics, production, subject matter, creativity, the whole nine yards. |

I agree. That's why we voted him an admin. As far as N.O.R.E. goes...I'd give it a 3.5 if I'm in a generous mood. I didn't think it was that good when it came out. Some solid songs, but in all, it was mediocre at best. And I haven't spun it in like 10 years. | |

| Classic!!! 4.5*.. I think I can deal with this being called old school, shit I still got the cassette. 'Body in the Trunk' feat Nas & 'The Assignment' feat Flipmode Squad are 2 personal favorites. | |

Body In The Trunk is my second favorite on this album. Assignment is still tight as well. |
