Capone-N-Noreaga and Raekwon, "The Reserves"
Raekwon's got drugs from the Philippines. Capone has guns from Czechoslovakia. Nore's got a headband from Afghanistan. This exciting new song from beloved Queens rap duo CNN and their Wu-Tang pal Raekwon the Chef is full of international intrigue. The video keeps it in NYC, and plays like an episode of "The Wire" with much worse acting. It was directed by Janelle Abraham (a "Bad Bish," according to the hip-hop-lady-and-bikini-made-out-of-$100-dollar-bills website Baddestbish.com), who started out as a "video model" before understudying with Spike Lee and eventually getting behind the camera. Nice!
Nice. So glad Nore is still his old self. (Few things are as exciting as T.O.N.Y.) They should've let Rae really spit on this though. …Carhart jumpers!? I would not mind seeing a Carhart comeback.
…… the Awl is really into RAp (or it called HipHop) these days…
I think about Chinese opera when I think about hip hop. Absolutely nothing
I can grab onto, nothing I can relate to. Not that they are from another planet.
It's that I must be from another planet. Maybe the Spike Lee connection
makes it worth watching, I dunno.
Money and girls and Ho's and … oh, well, all this is making me tired.
Grown-ups get tired, you know?
