This will mark the first time the two working together since 2000. The track \u201cWith Me\u201d off of the duo Capone-N-Noreaga\u2019s (C-N-N) 2010 album <strong><em>The War Report 2: Report The War <\/em><\/strong>had Nas vocals recorded years prior. The two artists had not been on good terms for years. It would not be until 2015 with Nas celebrating the 20<sup>th<\/sup> anniversary of <strong><em>Illmatic<\/em><\/strong> where things would be patched up between the two. Nas in the late 90\u2019s up to the early 2000\u2019s would play an influential part in the trajectory of Nore formerly known as Noreaga\u2019s career. Their relationship coming full circle and working together again is a significant win for hip hop.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>CNN \u2013 With Me feat.

At the time this was a big deal due to the fact that Nas was still riding the wave of his album <strong><em>It Was Written<\/em><\/strong>. However the song \u201cCalm Down\u201d did not receive clearance from Nas due to him not feeling the verse that the artist E-Money Bags had laid down on the original track. \u201cCalm Down\u201d did circulate on the mixtape circuit and would be officially released on a compilation years later.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Tragedy Khadafi \u2013 Calm Down feat.

A project by Nas\u2019s super group The Firm released later in 1997 as well. He would then put Nore on the track \u201cBlood Money Pt.2\u201d alongside Nature off the <strong><em>Ride<\/em><\/strong> soundtrack released early in 1998. That same year the trio would appear on the mixtape track \u201cTriple Threat\u201d.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>The Firm \u2013 I\u2019m Leaving feat.

The album would eventually be certified Gold and Nas would contribute to the track \u201cBody in the Trunk\u201d. Nas appeared alongside Nore one last time on \u201cB EZ\u201d off of C-N-N\u2019s 2000 album <strong><em>The Reunion<\/em><\/strong>. Afterwards things would go south between the two.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>N.O.R.E &#8211; Body in the Trunk feat.

Back then it was a huge deal. However the performance did not happen because Nas\u2019s plan was going to hang an effigy of Jay-Z. Hot 97 refused to let him to perform due to not taking the prop out of the show. This resulted in Nas conducting an interview with rival station Power 105.1. He was blasting Hot 97, Def Jam, and various artists including Nore who was signed to Def Jam at the time. In so many words Nas said his music was garbage. Nore was very heated and had words for Nas as well.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Nas Power 105.1 Interview\u00a0Dissing N.O.R.E<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><iframe width=\"1080\" height=\"608\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/_5EFi-p4FBA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; encrypted-media\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3><strong>Nore Interview &#8211; Rebuttal to Nas\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><iframe width=\"1080\" height=\"608\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/uuGjel_lWus?start=5&#038;feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; encrypted-media\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>To make matters worse Nore would then go on to sign as an artist to Jay-Z\u2019s record label for several years. This was still at a time where Jay-Z\u2019s rivalry with Nas was still going strong. Nas eventually gave an apology to Nore but it fell on deaf ears. Eventually though Nore accepted it and now in 2018 they are working together again. There is a definite buzz associated with the <strong><em>E5 <\/em><\/strong>project that Nore has not experienced in quite some time. Even though presently he is best known for his successful Drink Champs podcast, this project will serve as a reminder that he is first and foremost a well-respected hip hop artist that has maintained relevancy for over 20 years. All made possible with the help of his longtime cohort Nas.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Nore Interview &#8211; VladTv Ending Beef with Nas<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><iframe width=\"1080\" height=\"608\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/pjPu5xslesA?start=322&#038;feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"9ggxxgwp6O\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/hiphopnewsjournal.com\/nas-and-swizz-beatz-unreleased-completed-project\/\">Nas and Swizz Beatz: Unreleased Completed Project<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><iframe class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" src=\"https:\/\/hiphopnewsjournal.com\/nas-and-swizz-beatz-unreleased-completed-project\/embed\/#?secret=9ggxxgwp6O\" data-secret=\"9ggxxgwp6O\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" title=\"&#8220;Nas and Swizz Beatz: Unreleased Completed Project&#8221; &#8212; Hip Hop News Journal\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"mHvbftRwQL\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/hiphopnewsjournal.com\/nas-and-dj-premier-next-album-on-deck\/\">Nas and DJ Premier: Next Album on Deck?!?!<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><iframe class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" src=\"https:\/\/hiphopnewsjournal.com\/nas-and-dj-premier-next-album-on-deck\/embed\/#?secret=mHvbftRwQL\" data-secret=\"mHvbftRwQL\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" title=\"&#8220;Nas and DJ Premier: Next Album on Deck?!?!&#8221; &#8212; Hip Hop News Journal\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"A8S0Dg4mQg\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/hiphopnewsjournal.com\/mary-j-blige-and-nas-royal-alliance\/\">Mary J Blige and Nas: Royal Alliance<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><iframe class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" src=\"https:\/\/hiphopnewsjournal.com\/mary-j-blige-and-nas-royal-alliance\/embed\/#?secret=A8S0Dg4mQg\" data-secret=\"A8S0Dg4mQg\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" title=\"&#8220;Mary J Blige and Nas: Royal Alliance&#8221; &#8212; Hip Hop News Journal\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"YPcEU8bfJw\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/hiphopnewsjournal.com\/nas-and-prodigy-queensbridge-politics\/\">Nas and Prodigy: Queensbridge Politics<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><iframe class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" src=\"https:\/\/hiphopnewsjournal.com\/nas-and-prodigy-queensbridge-politics\/embed\/#?secret=YPcEU8bfJw\" data-secret=\"YPcEU8bfJw\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" title=\"&#8220;Nas and Prodigy: Queensbridge Politics&#8221; &#8212; Hip Hop News Journal\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last week Nas announced that he would be releasing N.O.R.E\u2019s 5E project through his Mass Appeal record label on July 27th.
