Albums Nas - The Lost Tapes 2 (Discussion Thread)

[NoHalfWay]

nikkas is still hatin’
Talkin that “Nas done fell of with rhymin’
He rather floss with diamonds”
They pray “Please God, let him spit that uzi in the army lining
That shorty doowop rollin oowops in the park reclining”

Please God

Were all of them I Am material? I want to say some tracks were before, and some after. No Ideas Original was Stillmatic era right.

If them songs came out when they was supposed to I Am wouldve been a certified classic. No question. It’s like 3 or 4 tracks from Stillmatic era I believe.

Doo Rags
No Ideas Original
Everybody’s Crazy
Purple
Black Zombie
Nothing Last Forever

Those are the Stillmatic leftovers. Everything else was from the OG I Am sessions

I finally peeped the new song.

It's not wack it's just....too out there and not for me. Cats dikk ride rappers that can't rap....rappers that OD on auto-tune....junkie rappers....but this song is wack? I don't like it at all but The Booth is wild, man.

Yeah the OG no ideas original was on some versions of stillmatic. Not sure if Best Buy or circuit city, etc.

wherever I bought it though it was on my copy as a bonus track along with everybody’s crazy.

I wonder what the producers who didn't make the cut are thinkin right now...Timbo, Large Pro, Primo...like my shyt didn't make the album but this did? Lol...

"Now P....you know if you woulda came to him with that fukking 'Cop shot the kid, cop shot the kid" he woulda looked at you like 'What the fukk are you doing?? The fukk are you playin right now?"

That's half the album.

That's half the album.

Yep.

I never really saw "Small World" as an experiment. It's just another great storytelling joint in a long list of great storytelling joints from Nas. "Undying Love" is more of an experiment from that album.

"Shoot Em Up" I can see because it was weird to rap over.

I didn't cover "Who Killed It" because the post I was replying to already mentioned it.

i meant big things not small world

in retrospect i realized i never really listened to the lost tapes. maybe twice

nas always paying homage, remember big girl from nastradamus?

 

[Thief's Theme]

is it Friday yet?

I don't get the concern that the album might be bad because of the single (which I loved personally), did you all forget about RZA x2, Pete Rock x2, Alchemist, No ID, Toomp? And all the dope guest appearance verses he dropped between LIG and Nasir?

I don't see any way this album isn't going to be great, at the very least we'll get a handful of classic tracks
