This has to be the Nas Album that was Done. Definitely worthy of the Lost Tape name

ya'll nikkas weren't wrong about tanasia got me like

What's the verdict on the song?

How does the tracks RZA produced sound? I think it's Tanasia and something else

They’re dope. Tanasia is vintage and Highly Favored sounds like some shyt Roc Marciano or Ka would flow over.

Beat on here is not garbage. And I don't see what you're seeing. Alc still makes dope ass shyt. Check out his shyt with the Griselda camp. Maybe you not a fan of some of the drumless shyt he's been doing over the past few years.

The funny thing too is he’s pretty much off the drumless wave and messing around with hard drinks but less added bass lines. Dude is always trying some new shyt. I think the few years of drumless or light drum loops pissed off a fair amount of people to the point where they either think he’s still doing it or it soured them and they’re not interested anymore.

I do think he leaned a little bit heavy into it, but it’s also become a larger wave on its own on the new New York scene. So if cats don’t like hearing it from other producers it’s easy to blame Roc Marci and Alchemist for helping it become trendy.



The funny shyt is RZA was doing drumless beats over 20 years ago and no one was mad it it.

I feel like this album isn't getting anywhere near enough exposure.

 

[Billy Ocean]

I'm not saying this is godly off my first listen, but when I hit 'Play' on 'No Bad Energy' the clouds parted, a single beam of light shone down on me and a dove landed on my shoulder.

Goddamn. The GOAT is back. :qbsalute:
