In 2000, the group released ''[[The Reunion (Capone-N-Noreaga album)|The Reunion]]'', their second album on [[Tommy Boy Records]]. The album was similarly star-studded but suffered from mixed reviews.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.allmusic.com/album/the-reunion-mw0000616578|title=The Reunion : Overview|publisher=[[Allmusic]]|access-date=2014-09-17}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.hiphopdx.com/index/reviews/id.10/title.capone-n-noreaga-the-reunion|title=HipHop DX|work=HipHopDX|access-date=17 September 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090314143116/http://www.hiphopdx.com/index/reviews/id.10/title.capone-n-noreaga-the-reunion|archive-date=14 March 2009|url-status=dead}}</ref> Additionally, Capone had once again been sent to prison before its release for violating a probation sentence on gun possession,<ref>[http://www.25hoursaday.com/weblog/2004/03/26/WhenKeepingItRealGoesWrong.aspx] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070929090221/http://www.25hoursaday.com/weblog/2004/03/26/WhenKeepingItRealGoesWrong.aspx |date=September 29, 2007 }}</ref> which undermined promotion of the album. Soon after, in 2001, Capone-n-Noreaga jumped ship to prominent label [[Def Jam]].
