N.O.R.E. - VladTv Remarks About Prodigy

The legendary Queens rapper clears up an earlier incident where he called into Power 105.1 to identify Havoc's voice on an audio recording of him accusing fellow Mobb Deep rapper Prodigy of being gay. Really I don't care if he's gay or not but I must a admit he seems pretty guilty. Him trying to laugh it off like it doesn't mean anything to him is a joke. Because he is from the Era where anyone "Gay" would be done career wise. But like I said its not my business and even if he was it wouldn't take away from his skill he bring to the mic. I wish somebody just do a Kanye and just say fuck it..."I'm Gay and what...?
