In 1996, they signed to "Penalty Records" in a deal with "25 to Life" records (Tragedy Khadafi's label). They were also featured as "Unsigned Hype" in The Source magazine. In 1997, C-N-N released their debut trend-setting album, The War Report. With exquisitely dark tracks crafted by Lord Finesse, Havoc (of Mobb Deep), Clark Kent, and a number of other acclaimed producers, The War Report became an instant classic. The unique chemistry of Noreaga's unorthodox lyrcal delivery combined with Capone's street-wise slang, established the duo as a household name within the Hardcore hip hop community.
After Capone returned from another stint in jail in 1999 the group then released The Reunion featuring the single "Ya'll Don't Wanna". The album struggled to go gold, due to the lack of promotion from Tommy Boy Records, and suffered from mixed reviews. In addition, Capone was sent back to prison right before the release further hurting promotion. Soon after in 2001, Capone-N-Noreaga jumped ship to powerhouse label Def Jam. Because Tommy Boy retained the trademarks to the names "Capone-N-Noreaga" and "Noreaga", the group was forced to shorten its name to C-N-N, and Noreaga was forced to bill himself as N.O.R.E. for his solo work. They recorded a new album in 2003 called The Religion, with a lead single, "Yes Sir", that was issued on mixtapes and promoted by a video. The single failed to make an impact, and the album was shelved.
In early 2005, Def Jam released Capone from his contract while retaining Noreaga, leaving the group's status in disarray. Capone released his debut album "Pain, Time, and Glory", in 2005.
In 2009 the duo reunited to release Channels 10 and has since then released The War Report: Report to War.

Capone-N-Noreaga Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If you want it you can lick from the front
If you want it
I like your stockings, stretch socks even your Reeboks
Thug you out, take you on tour, learn all the weed spots
We can sip wine, bump and grind on the slow-mo
But on the d-low I heard your man was a homo
We can combine just like two five and DoLo
Tell me where to put it like solo
Meet me at 702 I like your steelo
Now boo face it, you're bangin' to your ankle bracelet
I went against the grain when I said I'd never taste it
You work all day come home ready for foreplay
Your favourite dish, harmony grits and fish saute
You love a thug boo, highly impressed by my tattoo
Slim cut, walk with a strut keepin' it natural
Your physical frame is like a Jada Pinkett
I like to hear you moan, spank it grab your X and O anklet
Freak off
[Chorus]
"If you want it you can lick from the front
If you want it
If you want it you can lick from the front"
Sick and tired of your wannabe thug he got you heated
Knowin' that you need it but he's still afraid to eat it
Friday night you tell him that you out with the girls
But you're honin' in my world gettin' bent till you hurl
I got the fireplace, bearskin rug so kick your feet out
Hit me on a hit bay hundred I got the weed out
Hydro keep it on low now bust the weed out
Slide off the DKNY's so I can eat out
Jump inside a jet black 5 or watch you speed out
Adrenaline got you open like a stack of Benjamin's
Then back to the Ben agains to eatin' pasta with Dominicans
Eat it up
[Chorus]
Real niggas in the front, fake niggas in the middle
Live niggas in the back say just a little
Real niggas in the front, fake niggas in the middle
Live niggas in the back, shake just a little...
The lyrics of Capone-N-Noreaga's "Capone Bone" detail a sexually charged encounter between the singer and his female partner. The song begins with the singer describing how he likes his partner's clothing, particularly her stockings and Reebok sneakers. The singer then proposes a range of sexual activities that he suggests they could engage in, including touring together, sipping wine and bumping and grinding on the slow-mo. However, the singer also hints that he has overheard that his partner's man may be gay or bisexual.
The chorus of the song contains the provocative line "If you want it you can lick from the front," which is repeated several times throughout the song. The chorus is interspersed with verses in which the singer suggests that his partner is attracted to him because of his gangster-like qualities, his physical appearance, and his tattoos. The singer also takes a swipe at his partner's current partner, suggesting that he is not satisfying her sexually.
Overall, while "Capone Bone" is a sexually explicit song, it also touches on themes of jealousy, infidelity, and power dynamics in relationships.

If you want it you can lick from the front
If you're interested, I'm willing to perform oral sex on you
I like your stockings, stretch socks even your Reeboks
I find everything about you attractive, even your socks and sneakers
Thug you out, take you on tour, learn all the weed spots
I'll toughen you up, take you on the road, and show you where to buy weed
We can combine just like two five and DoLo
We can work together and make a great team, like two basketball players
Tell me where to put it like solo
Just give me some guidance on how to please you sexually
Meet me at 702 I like your steelo
Let's meet up at the club, I like your attitude/personality
Now boo face it, you're bangin' to your ankle bracelet
You look sexy in your ankle bracelet, admit it
You work all day come home ready for foreplay
After a long day at work, you're excited for sexual activity
Your favourite dish, harmony grits and fish saute
I know your favorite meal is grits and fish sauteed together
You love a thug boo, highly impressed by my tattoo
You're attracted to the tough guy image and like my tattoos
Slim cut, walk with a strut keepin' it natural
I have a lean body, walk with confidence and I don't try too hard
Your physical frame is like a Jada Pinkett
Your body looks like Jada Pinkett Smith's, which I find desirable
I like to hear you moan, spank it grab your X and O anklet
I enjoy the sounds you make during sex and I find your anklet with X's and O's on it sexy
Sick and tired of your wannabe thug he got you heated
You're fed up with your boyfriend pretending to be a tough guy, which frustrates you
Knowin' that you need it but he's still afraid to eat it
Your boyfriend knows you want oral sex but he's too scared to give it to you
Friday night you tell him that you out with the girls
You're lying to your boyfriend about going out with your girlfriends on Friday night
But you're honin' in my world gettin' bent till you hurl
You're actually spending time with me, getting drunk, and having a great time
I got the fireplace, bearskin rug so kick your feet out
I have a romantic setup with a fireplace and bearskin rug, so make yourself comfortable
Hit me on a hit bay hundred I got the weed out
Text me when you're ready to smoke some weed, I have it ready
Adrenaline got you open like a stack of Benjamin's
You're excited and energized, like you would be if you had a big stack of hundred dollar bills
Then back to the Ben agains to eatin' pasta with Dominicans
After our sexual encounter, we'll go back to eating pasta and hanging out with our Dominican friends
Real niggas in the front, fake niggas in the middle
The most authentic people are up front, the phonies are in the middle
Live niggas in the back say just a little
The guys in the back who are truly living life to the fullest only need to do a little to stand out

[Intro]
(House of hits ya'll. . . for the ladies. . . Capone Bone. . . Marley Marl)
If you want it, you got it forever
If you want it
[Capone]
I like your stockings, stretch socks even your Reeboks
Thug you out, take you on tour, to all the weed spots
We can sip wine, bump and grind on the slow-mo
But on the d-low I heard your man was a homo
We can combine just like Two-Five and DoLo
Tell me where to put it like solo
Meet me at 702 I like your steelo
Now boo face it, you're banging to your ankle bracelet
I went against the grain when I said I'd never taste it
You work all day come home ready for foreplay
Your favorite dish, hominy grits and fish sauté
You love a thug boo, highly impressed by my tattoo
Slim cut, walk with a strut keeping it natural
Your physical frame is like a Jada Pinkett
I like to hear you moan, spank it grab your X and O anklet
Freak off
[Hook]
If you want it, you got it forever
If you want it
If you want it you got it forever
[Capone]
Sick and tired of your wannabe thug he got you heated
Knowing that you need it but he's still afraid to eat it
Friday night you tell him that you out with the girls
But you're zoning in my world getting bent till you hurl
I got the fireplace, bearskin rug so kick your feet out
Hit me on the hip eight hundred I got the weed out
Hydro keep it on low now bust the weed out
Slide off the DKNY's so I can eat out
Jump inside a jet black 5 or watch you speed out
Adrenaline got you open like a stack of Benjamin's
Then back to the Bennigan's to eating pasta with Dominicans
Eat it up
[Hook]
Real niggas in the front, fake niggas in the middle
Live niggas in the back shake just a little
Real niggas in the front, fake niggas in the middle
Live niggas in the back, shake just a little
