I'm sure this has been discussed before but I am curious to what else remains unreleased from the LIG sessions. We heard that Black Girl Lost 2 joint, we know of the fate of the Frank Ocean track and we know of the multiple bonus tracks from the album but what of the other joints? Didn't he mention one that he
wanted to sound like "Airplanes"? Wasn't it mentioned that he started the album from scratch after beginning work on it? The has to be a decent amount left. Didn't Static Seletah mention that he had two joints on LIG?

Overall, there has to be a considerable amount of unheard and unreleased Nas music at Def Jam because his initial intent with Distant Relatives was to release unreleased tracks. I bet White man's Paper was one. Where those at? Nas and Def Jam needs to get those out. Comments?

I heard he recorded 18 cuts and, what like 16 made the album? don't think their are many unreleased joints left from it.

Who produced that Black Girl Lost 2 joint? Didn't Nas say something about Small World Pt. 2 as well?

Probably so. It's clear that the idea for Daughters was in his head but not fully developed yet. I am just curious what the Pre-Life is Good Lost Tapes would've looked like. Once the Life is Good sessions began, there clearly would be more unreleased tracks to choose from.

I don't think he finished a lot of those tracks though cause he said he only made around 18 tracks for this album. Meanwhile he said he had between 30-40 tracks finished for untitled. He might have started a lot of tracks for LIG but i think most of those are incomplete.

I'd love to hear the Street shyt track though

Why is it so hard for some of the songs from certain artists to get released in an official capacity. Give the fans an 8 song bonus disc or drop it on a Lost Tapes type album. This music needs to be heard by the masses.
