When Rap City was Dope: Intelligent Hoodlum - Black & Proud

Intelligent Hoodlum (Tragedy Khadafi) was a (Five Percenter) Black Muslim rapper from the Queens Bridge projects. His debut self titled album was produced entirely by Queens natives Marly Marl & Large Professor. His pro black message was dominant throughout his first two releases on A&M/Polygram Records (then they change lol but that's corporate pressure).

The song utilizes the James Brown "Say it loud, I'm Black and I'm Proud" sample. In the mid- nineties Intelligent Hoodlum later changed his name to Tragedy Khadafi when he appeared on Capone & Noreaga's debut "War Report."

Rap will never be like this again...

Much like Cormega (to me) the CNN brothas still resound with that authentic 90's sound,
Capone N Noreaga are a solid hip hop duo, they always have been.

Capone and Noreaga speak on Lil Kim and Nikki Minaj

Noreaga touches on the subject of Lil Kim and Nikki Minaj and the 'stupid beef' between them and addresses the reason for why the question of who is better shouldn't be debated. Why should there always be one main rap female on the scene? Let em all release music...the more females in the game the better...because no 2 women are alike.
