Prodigy
For the record, Capone has no beef with Prodigy. “I can’t have a problem with someone who can’t beat me” he said.
Weed Chronicles
The first time Capone-N-Noreaga ever fought, it was over something as trivial as weed. Only brothers, right?
Commissary
The aforementioned occurred because Capone had recently been released from jail and his mentality was that of someone still behind bars. Smh.
Basketball
Their bromance began when the two joined forces on the court while serving time in jail.
College Bound
Both Nore and Capone attended the college unit. And according to Noreaga, Capone is “mad smart.”
Central Park 5
CNN were locked up with Yusef Salaam and Kevin Richardson.
Biggie
The late Notorious B.I.G. wanted to sign Capone to Junior Mafia.
Plagiarism
According to Capone, rapper AZ and producer L.E.S. stole his Sugar Hill song.
Stage Hoe
When Biggie went up to Nas back in the day to brag about “Capone, from Queensbridge” Nas went bonkers. The two legends ended up making Capone perform that same night with several rap vets, including Mobb Deep.
Meanwhile
Nore was at home, living out his “bad era” as Capone got all the shine as a solo act. That’s what he gets for being too scared to rap for B.I.G.! (J/k).
Lessons & New Five Percent
Nore spoke passionately about CNN’s new album (Lessons & New Five Percent) and catering to their fans with it, not the new generation.
