At 5:50 a.m. Thursday, the avid tweeter explained that his girlfriend was having contractions and they were on their way to the hospital. Until 8 p.m., N.O.R.E. tweeted hourly, explaining candid details about his excitement, nervousness and smoke breaks.

He said he had never experienced a child's birth and appeared to be shocked every step of the way. When the doctor arrived he urged his Twitter followers to blast in unison his new single "Shoulder's Move." 

Witnessing the entire process left N.O.R.E. with new found respect for women. "I am so glad I am not a [woman]," he joked. "Never again will I go to labor."

Then he tweeted that the baby boy looked like a Cuban version of himself. 

N.O.R.E. put this post in your boy's scrapbook so he has the tweet record of his arrival. Good stuff.

Last month, N.O.R.E. and his rap partner Capone reunited to release their third CNN album, Channel 10. The album boasts the hot track "Rotate" featuring Busta Rhymes and Ron Browz.
