Albums Nas - The Lost Tapes 2 (Discussion Thread)

[TheDarceKnight]

90% sure Alchemist flopped the It Never Ends sample also on this. Roc Marci got the better flip but It Never Ends is still wavy.

Nas and Pete Rock byke


Everyone talking about QB Politics but that first Pete Rock joint is crazy too. The swing on it classic PR.

Other than that Jareau shyt this shyt is pure flames.

You gotta wonder what goes three these young mumble rap nikkas minds when they listen to this level of rhyming.

They should be embarrassed that the old nikkas rap circles around them with ease...but I bet they still don't give a shyt. Frustrating as fukk.

This shyt threw me off guard with how good it is lol this might be better than LIG but time will tell this album is amazing there's definitely a few missteps but this proves nas is undisputed GOAT I'm glad to have lived and experienced every single one of his albums yeah I'm old but illmatic to this made it worth it

FAM i was thinking that but you had the balls to say it ima give it a week but my 1st thought was damn LIG might gotta slide down the list a slot after this

Art Of It is ridiculous. I had to pause and double back the first time I heard it. Lol

i usually dont like when a sample is brought back out unless its totally re-worked, but it has a whole diff tempo and its Nas and Pete so yea im all over it lol. so glad Pete is on this

and dudes need to be nice to Swizzy today, he brought it. i usually hate their collabs, these 2 are dope, especially Adult Film which is looking like a top 3 cut to me

 

[Edub]

Aight overall this shyt tuff.....few tracks I could do without, like two actually, but over all this is gettin play time. Nice for the summer

Yeah your boy Dani is right.

Pretty sure the best for it never ends is from circa 2013/2014 and from the height of his no added drums era.

It’s interesting to hear Nas over. Was hoping for a 00’s beat but I ain’t mad at a 10’s one either.

I wish Ghostface was doing the hook on Tanasia

 

[W.I.Z.E.]

Love this album. Can't wait to hear Lost Tapes 3.

 

[mr.africa]

my fave album this year so far after 3 listens
where to begin to explain how dope this is?
you know what all this typing just made want to listen to it again. out!!

 

[prophecypro]

It's okay. Solid nothing spectacular but definitely not bad. I kept a few songs. Production just doesn't move me at all. Nas still rhyming at superior levels to nearly everyone but the production is lackluster outside a few songs. No ID and Pete Rock salute.

A couple of stand outs: Art of It, Queensbridge Politics, Beautiful Life

I cant say the production is that bad, mimimalist but I thought of that with the first Lost Tapes and people grew to love that album's beats.
Gotta think too, it beats were that flames they'd be on the albums, but again: I just dont see his production being as bad as people say

 

[TheDarceKnight]

I can’t stop playing QB Politics
