It's been almost four years since the other infamous duo from Queens dropped their stellar debut album, The War Report. In the meantime, Capone went back to jail and Noreaga released two solo LPs jam packed with thug rhymes and keyboard beats. Classic joints like "N.O.R.E. (Niggas On the Run Eatin')" and "Superthug" boosted him to rap superstar status. Now Capone's free again and the duo have spent two million dollars recording their highly-anticipated sophomore effort, The Reunion. More spine-tingling tales of ghetto warfare and random gun-clapping cuz there's still ain't nothing changed but their limp. It's CNN, back again, what what!

Vice: First of all Capone, how did you make the transition from the thug life in Queensbridge to the rap life?

Capone: I went to jail, man.

I bet you've seen some ill shit up in there.

Capone: Yeah I seen some crazy shit. On some homo shit, I seen like a homo orgy, kid. Word, like I walked in the shower and shit, and like four homo niggas, niggas I ain't even know was homo and shit, like regular niggas and two homos just wildin' and shit. I started flippin like "Get me the fuck up outta there," you know what I mean? Crazy shit, you see like four niggas gettin' it on!

And now you're out of jail and out of the hood.

Capone: (singing) "We movin' on up/ To the east side/ The heat and the stove don't work in the kitchen" I don't want to go through that shit no more, you feel me? Why nobody say nothing when the drug dealer nigga get mad paper and move out the hood? Niggas say he's ballin'. The same niggas that's talkin' shit about you movin' out the hood is tryin' to make money talkin' about "Damn, I can't take the hood no more." So I'm gone too. See ya!

Now you're getting fat.

Nore: I don't know, man. Straight up, good livin', fuck it. We was skinny our whole life, you know what I'm sayin'? We got the opportunity to be fat, fuck it let's be fat. I don't even know why they ordered them ice teas. Teabag ice tea is wack, straight up. Yo hold on. (To Capone) What's going on god? You want a piece of shrimp? A piece of fish? Some macaroni? You got to be specific with me. You should get your own fork though, 'Pone, cuz I got a cold.

You're eating right now?

Nore: I'm on the run eatin' baby. Macaroni and cheese, potato salad and some fried fish. You can't smell it through the phone? (To Capone) Yo, get a fork 'Pone! This potato salad's right! Let me get one of them fake-ass ice teas. Shit's still better than water. (To me) You wish you was eating like this right?

No doubt.

I'm 'a email you some food.
