4.0 out of 5 stars
nice mixtape from N.O.R.E., February 5, 2007
After being relatively quiet and really not dropping anything special since the CNN "Reunion" album (I think " Gods Favorite" only deserved 3.5 stars) and after his B-S Raggaeton album, N.O.R.E. finally makes a step in the right direction. Since his "One Fan A Day" album was hit with numerous pushbacks and may never see the light of day, he released this which has a few tracks from that album. With 12 tracks and 13 songs (# 2 is 2 songs), it's ratehr short at just over 38 minutes, but you get 2 almost classics, 5 good songs, 3 ok songs, and 3 that are borderline ok/pretty good. Guests are on 8 of the 13 songs and are mostly the normals from his camp. Production is great on some songs and average at best on others. Scram Jones does 3 songs, DJ Cut Throat, Midi Mafia, Heatmakerz all do 2 songs, EZ Elpee, Kyze, Vin teh Chin and Militainment all do 1 song. A nice album for his fans to grab.
#1 - 7.5 (16 bars)
#2 - 9.5 (f/ Nature, DWNLZY, Maze, Cardan, Musolini, Baby Sis -- great beat)
#2 (2nd song) - 8.5 ("Cuts From NORE")
#3 - 9 (f/ Musolini, DWNLZY, Nature -- nice Journey sample used)
#4 - 7.5 (f/ Nature -- they rap back & forth for a lil over a minute)
#5 - 7.5 (f/ Nicole Wray)
#6 - 9 (f/ Beanie Sigel -- deep song w/ nice beat)
#7 - 9.5 (f/ Nature, Young Chris, Baby Sis, DWNLZY -- tight beat)
#8 - 6 (f/ Final Chapter)
#9 - 7
#10 - 6 (f/ Musolini, Maze, DWNLZY)
#11 - 8
#12 - 8.5
