Albums Nas - The Lost Tapes 2 (Discussion Thread)

[InstantKlassik]

Yo this shyt is nice.. different but nice. I can see this growing on people. People really saying this is his worst track ever lol. Black Girl Lost Pt.2 this is not. This is actually creative. If this is the worst track on the album..we bouta eat.

My thoughts...

-Maybe he wanted to get that one out of the way for the rest. I wouldn’t have lead off with that but a lost tapes project is where that belongs. None of Nas shyt should ever not be released. Maybe a bonus track or something.

-Skills still tight and rhymes are dope, it’s just the track is weird.

-Someone else said it and I will agree; so far he is 2 for 3 since we know Who Are You and You Mean the World to Me Are dope.

-since my first listen, it has grown on me though.

-the overall project will be satisfying.

I’m in the “it’s ok” camp. How are people surprised this is the first single or whatever. This is the dude who dropped a blues sampled song as a single during the pop, lock, and drop era

Havent listened to the track. Wanna hear the album as a whole.

When I first listened to the track last night. I wasnt a but I'm listening now and it's really not that bad. I like the sample too and it sounds good in headphones honestly. I would have led off with the lost tapes song from the promo video though. It's a different listen to the ears off top though. Not a bad song.

Nas along with his team is TOP NOTCH! I think his fans need to be better musically versed but not everyone is in the same level.

What kind of elitist, arrogant, pretentious shyt is this All due respect, Nas don’t walk on water. As an artist, he can do whatever the fukk he wants and make whatever music he feels like. Don’t mean people gonna like everything he does even if they have some understanding and appreciation of where his inspiration comes from.

I think this song might have flowed better in midst of the project as opposed to being released on it's own because it is such a different jazz influenced song, with different sounds and harmonies. However, after multiple listens I think it's a solid record.

The beat is very distracting. This is Nas' Ghetto Techno.

 

[CHERUB]

No one is trolling, man. This thread went 53 pages and the album isn't even out yet cuz its filled with DIEHARD Nas fans. Dudes are just calling like it they see it.

You said all this like its fact

 

[Surreal]

I literally see nothing wrong with the track.

Great beat
Great lyrics

Those horns the last minute

 

[MeachTheMonster]

Reading the comments I thought it was gonna be way worse.

In reality his flows sharp as ever. Song is just weird on some old nikka scat jazz shyt.

I think without the corny hook this would be dope

Horns at the end are crazy. Anybody that enjoys rap music and jazz can appreciate this

 

[CHERUB]

the Cacs responding dont like Jazz that all just like Kendricks shyt. Some white person just compared this to the central park 5. Thats crazy but nobody says nothing. Ziggiy breakdown why he loves the track and gets called crazy. Interesting

 

[NYK Loyalist]

That song should of stayed lost

 

[DontEemTry]

He better come out and say he did this shyt for sesame street or somethin

 

[Chip Skylark]

This shyt is fukking flames!
