If it based around the seven deadly sins, the greed track obviously needs to be about Kelis.

And the song about wrath needs some of that Hate Me Now delivery. :ahh:

That Nas/JD "Turn It Out" was a favorite of mine in 7th grade when Jermaine's album came out, I had that recorded from CD to a cassette so I could listen in my tape player.....

I still run that sometimes, Nas blacked out on the second verse, such a vivid and timeless description of the club.

That "Memories" track must be fire, see, that's why more than anything else I want that Lost Tapes 2....it's all I ask lol

A 2002 era Nas over one of my favorite R&B tracks, and a timeless part of my junior year in HS, with that tile, rapping about his Mom or growing up in QB is essential Nas.

I wonder who's writing the rhymes on this one. It's way too quick of a turnaround for it to be Nas alone....

Ye didn't produced "Journey Through The Life". Nasheim Mavrick and Carlos Brody of Bad Boy's Hitmen did, but the rest you posted was correct. The most interesting aspect of this potential album to me is that NaS and Ye have a long history going back to the late 90's even before he linked with Jay and The Roc. D. Dot and J.D. really looked out for Ye with his early production placements. Ironically Ye would produced "Takeover" as well. Of course we would all love a long album but I trust NaS with a short LP. Many of us thought we'd get a Premo/NaS LP before a Ye one but again they have a long history. I was in the "I'll wait till NaS says something" Camp over this past month but Ye has dropped 3 straight LP's on time like he said. So I'm inclined to finally believe yes, Escobar Season is Finally Returning. So here's the appetizer before the main course.
