N.O.R.E. changes name to P.A.P.I.

N.O.R.E. revealed to MTV News that he has officially changed his moniker to “P.A.P.I.” which stands for “Power Always Proves Intelligence.” Here’s what he had to say about his new alias:

“Sometimes if you’re lost, the best way to find where you’re at is to go to the beginning,” he explained. “My mother doesn’t even call me Victor, my father has never called me Victor, my teachers didn’t even call me Victor… My name in Lefrak City and my name in Queens is actually P.A.P.I., it’s not even N.O.R.E.”

After the jump, P.A.P.I. previews his upcoming 2 Chainz, Pusha T, and French Montana-featured “Tadow” music video.

:cheers:

Capone n Noreaga were Wu-Gambino offshoot monikers anyways

sometimes, we'll say "NORE!" all aggressive and sped up like a New Yorker, just for nostalgia sake

but big up to PAPI and the old N!gga On (the) Run Eatin' :rofl:

Just because people call you Papi in Queens, it doesn't mean it's your fuckin' name. It means you're in New York.

Papi should go into comedy or somethin. He is funnier than he is good at rapping.
