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.

"Oh No" is a rap song performed by Capone-N-Noreaga, produced by the Neptunes, and released in 2002. The song starts with NORE introducing himself and the Neptunes as the creators of the track. He then urges his listeners to bounce with him, repeating the phrase several times before launching into the chorus. The chorus consists of NORE repeatedly saying, "Oh no."
The first verse of the song includes references to NORE's lifestyle, including his preference for a Hennessy-and-Smirnoff mix, his love of parties, and his fondness for fast driving. The second verse includes more boasts about his lifestyle, including the number of women he has access to and his love of luxury brands like Moet and Cristal. The final verse is more aggressive, with NORE warning his critics not to mess with him and his crew.
The song is a classic example of early 2000s hip hop, with a heavy beat and catchy chorus. The lyrics are laced with bravado and references to material wealth, flashy cars, and designer clothes. The song was a commercial success, reaching number 84 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and number 22 on the Hot Rap Songs chart.

That New York flow with the Neptunes beat…just untouchable
@tha.vagabond3943
A bounce flow is not a New York flow.. he's a NY dude, on a southern dudes beat and had to slice it accordingly. Thing of everything you ever heard from WuTang.. then think of Jay Z on Big Pimpin. Both NY artists, but only one is a New York flow..
