This is a hell of a Reunion for real............, November 28, 2000
By A Customer
Cnn once again baby. First off the single Phone Time is a banger and can't be messed with, and Invincible with Primo on the boards is just straight heat. Capones raspy voice and his delivery is just straight ill, and I am not a huge Noreaga fan but he is good on the hooks for this album. Other highlights on the album are Nas on B Ez where he drops a Illmatic type verse, and Mobb Deep hold it down on the Queens Finest song. Straight Like That, Brothers, You Cant Kill me are also ill cuts for the album. Is Cnn back kid you bet ya, and this deserves to be high on the albums of the year list in 2000. Reunion is not a raw as War Report, but then again not much has been since they dropped that classic in 97. Go pick this up if you like thugged out stuff like Mobb Deep and Nas, but if you are not into that type of music well then this is not for you at all. Bottom line is if you like War Report and Prodigy or whoever from Queens cop this you wont be dissapointed.

CNN IS BACK, April 25, 2001
Now that Capone is home CNN can shine together again. After the classic 1997 debut, "The War Report", I was happy CNN released another album I got it the first day it came out. Damn this was good. It has tight beats and rhyming from both the deep voiced Noreaga and the funny voiced Capone. I'd have to say this was as good if not better then "The War Report". The lyrics are awesome too.Carl Thomas brings soul to "Intro: Change Is Gonna Come" and "Phonetime" is a great conversation between Capone And Noreaga over tight beats. "Queens", "Invincible", and "Bang Bang" are OK but "Y'All Don't Wanna" is really tight. "Straight Like That" is OK but I love "All We Got Is Us". "Brothers" is also OK but Nas and CNN shine together on "B EZ". "Gunz In Da Air" is OK and "Wet Willie Skit" is funny. "Full Steezy" is OK but Mobb Deep and Algado & Shoballotti dissapoint me on "Queens Finest". "You Can't Kill Me" and "Don't Know Nobody" with Musaliny-N-M.A.Z.E. are a great way to finish off a classic album. If you like rap or hip hop or R&B, screw it, if you like any kind of music cop "The War Report" and "The Reunion" NOW because they are classics and gems.

Excellent Reunion, January 4, 2001
This doesn't top the classic War Report, but it is an excellent album. Although Phonetime and B EZ are probably the most well-known songs, Brothers and Queens Finest are probably the top tracks. Other good songs are Invincible, Bang Bang, Gangsta Skit, Straight Like That, and Gunz in Da Air. The only tracks that needed work were You Can't Kill Me which had poor production and Don't Know Nobody which was okay. Both Capone and Nore get solo joints as well. Capone goes solo on Full Steezy which is similar to his solo joint Capone Bone on The War Report. Nore goes solo on Gunz in Da Air. There are some terrific guest spots by Goldfingaz, Troy Outlaw, Nas, Mobb Deep, Final Chapter, Foxy Brown (who disses Lil Kim's verse on Mobb's remix of Quiet Storm), Musaliny, and Maze. There is also some good production by LES, The Alchemist, DJ Premier, Kyze, Nokio and Kenya, Jewellz, EZ Elpee, Amaretto, T-Lo, Mr. Fortune, Havoc, SPK, and Lord Finesse. This did not top the War Report, but The Reunion was one of the top 10 hip hop albums of 2000.
