Rapper Noreaga was in the Queens borough of New York City last week to film the video for "Blood Money Pt. 3," the third single from his current album, "Melvin Flynt Da Hustler," and the shoot attracted an array of hip-hop all-stars.

Nore's partner in rhyme, Capone (who also lends some verses to the song), showed up to appear in the clip, as did L.L. Cool J, Rev. Run of Run-DMC, Rah Digga, Screwball, and Cuban Link.

Others who turned out to show support included Fat Joe, Foxy Brown, The Beatnuts, and Buju Banton, though none of those rappers will appear in the final version off the "Blood Money" clip.

In addition to starring in the video, Noreaga also stepped behind the camera and co-directed the "Blood Money" clip with Nzinga Stewart. The majority of the video was filmed on 57th Avenue in Nore's old neighborhood, Lefrak City.

The single version of "Blood Money Pt. 3" is due out in December and follows up Nore's current single, "Play That Sh**" (featuring

Hot Boys and Big Tymers), which had no video.
