  • This was right after The War Report had dropped. Noreaga explains how he got his rap name and why LeFrak City, Queens was called Iraq. They also explain the reason they made "LA, LA" in response to Tha Dogg Pound's "New York, New York." They say it was only an answer record in the spirit of hip-hop and it was blown out of proportion and wasn't a diss record. Tradgedy Khadafi also talks about his absence from the rap game and why he really hadn't changed like some people thought.

    watched this, then listened to the Combat Jack interview with Nore, amazing how this relationship broke down. According to NORE he had his own vision for his style and Tragedy wanted him to be more like him (hardcore). I liked the war report better than whatever nore put out later but I am sure his later stuff sold more.

    When exactly did Tradgedy and NORE fall out?... I remember supporting both of em back in the 90's and it just caught me completely off guard when they were cool at one moment and then they were throwing jabs at each other on the records... Are they cool now? niggas need to do a drink champs episode with Tradgedy, Capone and Nore... And just break everything down during that time period which was 20 years ago now.

      After the war report nore really had his own vision for what he wanted to accomplish next and it was down the commercial route. Tragedy wasn’t feeling that and felt like nore was branching out of the hardcore street umbrella ☔️. Honestly I agree with tragedy because alll of Noreagas street records are so classic compared to most of his commercial sounding music. Notice how n.o.r.e. Album (1998) had some records that were still hardcore as hell ( it’s not a game , da story , body in the trunk) then you have hot records but they we’re definitely more after a radio friendly sound ( I love my life , the way we live , mathematics, fiesta ) Noreaga first solo album was very much a perfect melting pot of both sounds but after 1998 nore almost completely lost is underground street sound that we heard in the war report. Hope this helps!
