CNN “Grand Royal” (produced by DJ Premier)
This track just made my day, and I heard some snippets from CNN’s Channel 10 album… pretty excited. Do people even remember that EPMD also recently released a new album???

Wow this track actually just made my day worse. When I saw CNN + Premo I nearly fell over trying to hear it.
Then I heard it… and it’s horrible. I mean go listen to “Invincible” and then listen to this.
Other than the scratching, there is nothing Premo about this. Disappointing.

I agree with eLone. When I saw CNN x Premo, I expected straight heat. I was totally wrong and quite disappointed. This track wasn’t even lukewarm….
“Invincible” > “Grand Royal”

I knew this was gonna have that sample from “Reunion:” “CNN we like the grand royal, I write rhymes with the coke oil, yo Apollo Heat.” Which essentially means nothing. But I’ve always liked that about NORE, he’s not even a smart-dumb rapper, he’s just a dumb rapper and glorifies in it. Oh well, the beat is good.
