Details: Product Description N.ORE Amazon.ca As one half of the Queensbridge rap duo Capone 'n' Noreaga, Victor "Noreaga" Santiago's street credibility is based on his ability to rhyme over catchy, head-nodding beats while utilizing his own street "slanguage", underdig (read: you understand )? God's Favorite employs the services of knob-twiddlers du jour the Neptunes to create sure-fire dancefloor hits, Pharrell Williams bangs out yelzabulb (read: off the hook) drum programs on the dated "Grimey" and the anthemic "Head Bussa." The Norebonics routine gets a little tired on "Nahmeanuheard" (and its remix featuring Capone, Cam'ron and Fat Joe, as does the XXX-rated exercise in juvenilia on "Big D", featuring emcee turned pornographer Akinyele and foskeeezy (read: foul girl) Heather Hunter. But NORE proves that he's not completely vacant on the eloquent "Live My Life," featuring a crooning Ja Rule on the chorus. With phat tracks laced by EZ Elpee and a rejuvenated Swizz Beatz, NORE has no problem keeping things shamone (read: moving). --Dalton Higgins
