They need to milk the vaults and release more NaS unreleased tracks, studi or rare remixes, alternate takes, extended versions and freestyles. Why are they stashing these shyts!!

Yea, Song reeks of attempt at a crossover top 40 hit... way outside of Nas's lane :patrice:

But I'm interested to hear the song though, it think it will be dope even if Jay and Nas verses are average, the production and Tim/JT vocals alone should make this song :whoo:

This is not outside of Nas lane.

He always tries to expand his fan base with hit records, but his stans cry and complain

Milk the vaults then and release those lost tapes, alternate takes, studio remixes and freestyles then. Why are they holding on to that shyt??

Exactly

Nas has a CRAZY unreleased catalog that his fans would eat the fukk up. Why the fukk do I need to buy the same album 4 times? I think bought Illmatic multiple times because I needed the vinyl because I'm a DJ and when the 10th anniversary addition dropped it had joints like Star Wars and other remixes and I needed the Cd to bump in the wheel but now they're just being greedy. Give us something new WTF? Lost Tapes 2 and 3.....Just drop em.

I collect Nas CD's so I don't mind droppin loot and supporting the artist, especially now since Gang starr is done. Nas is the only MC that I would spend a dime on. LOL

I'm cool with the rare UK remixes but I would've preferred more freestyles and other stuff like that in place of the one love LG remix and Lifes a bytch Arsenal remix. I feel both of them tracks but I have them on a couple of his other compilations already.

Still wish there was some Lost Tapes Buzz out there, especially from his Sony vaults.

Somebody tell me the difference between the album version of Halftime and the Butcher Remix. Either I am deaf or there isn't a significant difference.
