As we keep things moving, I wanted to drop a tape that to this day continues to get love from tons of heads across the country, world and net. "The Penalty Mixtape" is one of the best mixes of Nore's best stuff and at the time was loaded with exclusives from his upcoming album "N.O.R.E.". To me the only other tape that can rival this one is the "What What Throwback Vol.2" best of Noreaga tape J-Love put together some time back. Meshing a lot of Nore's best joints together that because of the internet are easy to find now, but previously would have been labeled "unreleased". I love this tape because it showcased one of Funkmaster Flex's young protege's and perhaps the brightest member of his DJ crew (The Big Dog Pitbulls) DJ Cipha Sounds. While Cipha mixed, scratched and brang all the tracks back, Flex held down the hosting duties. You hardcore Nore fans most likely won't hear anything on here that you haven't heard before, but as far the DJ work went, this tape is fuckin on point. Shit, I knew I was taking things like this for granted when I first heard it back in the day. I mean who was the last DJ to put out a tape that was actually "mixed"? Who was the last DJ to do a tape with one of his crew members? Fuck, are there even any more DJ crews out there? This joint brings back such great memories; my days of being a hardcore Nore fan when he was a worthwhile artist who somehow managed to relay real feelings and who dropped very relatable music 99% of the time. When he made songs like "Calm Down" "Blood Money" and "Married To Marijuana".
