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.
