Nas - King's Disease II (Discussion Thread)

[kes929]

Moving too fast, blues on your ass
The boys came through with the task
Peep through the blinds, you knew it was curtains



Give my goat his muthafukking flowers

We celebrating and giving nas his flowers for the rest of career and beyond

Some people just dont want to include the lost tapes in nas catalogue because they want to take away another one of his classics. It's an album that was composed, just like the lost tapes 2.

“Time to lock in on some more”

What I love about there chemistry is that it seems it’s more than just music and business only. Like they really rock with each other on top of being super fans of each other.




Was listening to the interview and it went to rare and thought my phone locked on me and randomly played rare. I was trying to figure out what’s wrong with me phone. It’s part of the interview!!

Nas actually personally sequenced LT1 as he would have an official LP release. He’s said it out his own mouth around when the album drop. It was literally meant to be thought of as an album. Not a compilation.

Because a lot of people view Lost Tapes as a compilation and not an album, which in my mind makes absolutely no sense at all. ALL albums are compilations that have tracks recorded over periods of time. If Lost Tapes isn't an album, neither is Illmatic. "Halftime" was on the Zebrahead soundtrack in 1992 and was two years old by the time the album dropped.

Lost Tapes has songs that were floating on the net from the era of 1999-2001 of his career with a few brand new songs on it. To me, that is what makes Lost Tapes a classic album. Lost songs are typically disregarded songs from a catalog that aren't really significant or aren't up to par with the rest of the artists catalog. You could see why the songs were scrapped. Nas's Lost Tapes are some of the BEST songs he's ever made and had us questioning why they were omitted. These songs would've amplified the albums they were intended for rather than being filler.

Lost Tapes flows like an album despite the songs being intended for different albums. It is one of the most cohesive albums in his catalog. It rivals his best work and is about as close to an Illmatic 2 that we have gotten from him. Genius level work.

Nas personally sequenced the album to flow like an album. He intended for it to NOT be thought of as a compilation. shyt was compiled music from a 3 year span. Unlike LT2 which was like a 10 year span. shyt Jay put Ignorant shyt on American Gangster and that song was like 6 years old by the time that album dropped. And it was the right move for him to do too.

Exactly, I see some nas haters in particular on Twitter try not to count the lost tapes as an album.

Hmmm can you find that interview bro? Coz i remember very well a 2002 Godson interview where the journalist was telling him Lost tapes was better than Stillmatic & Godson and Nas couldn't believe people felt that, saying he hardly had anything to do with the release... It was all the label's work

I can still remember how shocked i was reading this, but i can't find the article, it might be on FEDS magazine, i think it was a long ass itw..


And i remember also thinking my GOAT was lying when he released that statement to Def Jam saying Lost Tapes is a movement blablabla, thinking to myself "you had nothing to do with LT1 bro"


And this comes from someone who counts LT1 as a full album and ranks it at the same level as Illmatic, if not higher...

 

[RoseWooD]

Yeah, somebody at Columbia put Lost Tapes. Picked the songs, sequencing and everything. The article i read years back said his name and everything. Either way, it's an album in the mode that Nas use to always make his albums. 2 years recording songs then release the project

Nas didn’t pick the sequencing for LT1 but he did sign off on which songs were used. There was an article on the Making Of Lost Tapes that was done by Complex I believe that broke the entire album down and also talked about how Nas had recorded over the Many Men beat and the beat that became Alicia Keys You Don’t Know My Name.
