Albums Nas - The Lost Tapes 2 (Discussion Thread)

[TheDarceKnight]

Not likely, its not out before the 21st on apple music in other countries to prevent early leaks.

Thanks G. I was thinking about plugs I met and Bandana leaking on Thursday but I guess those has physicals that shipped the week of.

I liked his album with Smoke DZA too and he's producing the next Skyzoo LP, that should be really dope as well.

No doubt! Yeah that DZA album was slept on!

And rep at that Skyzoo news. That’s incredible.

It leaked because it was out in New Zealand with the early timezone.
It wasnt the case with Big KRIT album last week and Lost Tapes II would already be out by this time if it was already released in NZ.

Based on these Lost Tapes and many others, what I now know about Nas is that he always spits that street shyt. He always talks that ghetto real shyt. He writes it and records it over beats that move him. He usually does albums with a theme or concept so while putting the album together, he like most smart artist, try to stick as closely to the concept as possible. Therefore, the street songs that he writes and the shyt that we love to hear is put on hold. Many people, myself included want to hear that Nasty Nas. Well I have to keep telling myself that Nas is always Nasty Nas. He still write and records that shyt. He just puts it out when he wants to.

@Ziggiy you think there’s any chance this leaks before midnight breh?

Albums don’t really “leak” anymore so probably not

Its the Beyonce solo album. Kendrick, Jay, and Childish Gambino are all on the album.

Jay-Z will NOT be releasing an album tomorrow to compete with Nas. Everyone PLEASE let it go

It's gotta be for Beyonce Lion King shyt cuz they also mention Kendrick and Gambino dropping.

Can you imagine if Nas, Jay, Kendrick, Gambino and Beyonce all dropped albums on the same day? The internet would explode lol.

Can't wait for this.
Al Jarreau track was pure booty juice though.

From Apple Music editor's notes :

"Though working with familiar collaborators, he’s clearly pushed himself artistically across these selections, rapping over kaleidoscopic synths on DJ Toomp-produced “Queens Wolf," keeping pace with a fluttering jazz melody on Eddie Cole’s “Jarreau of Rap,” and addressing his historically contentious relationship with the mother of his daughter and the infamous JAY-Z beef on the No I.D.-helmed “Beautiful Life.” For all of the experimentation, though, he’s made sure to include plenty of the original recipe: The Queensbridge hero bars up over modern-day boom bap on “Lost Freestyle,” “The Art of It,” and “Highly Favored,” produced by Statik Selektah, Pete Rock, and RZA, respectively."

It’s still surreal to me that we’re actually getting Lost Tapes 2 tomorrow. Ain’t listening to a single snippet so it all sounds fresh to me. Got Lost Tapes 1 in rotation all day in anticipation
