...because LT1 is composed of tracks that were made in closer span (I Am to Stillmatic) and larger batches (5 to 6 from I Am and 5/6 songs from Stillmatic) with similar themes. Lost Tapes 2 is covering over decade long span of material in a more random way.
People are busy trashing this album online. Your ear is not the same as everyone.
Queens Wolf is my favorite so far

That first verse on Reach out is crazy though...
Chorus is trash though but i fukk with that joint over all...
nikkas been hating on that masterful track
I respectfully disagree.This was flawless.
3:45AM can't sleep, can't dream
I'm stuck, money problems pop up
How will I survive
Guess it's best to decide not to decide
So that's my decision
Whatever happens happens
I keep making my millions
Can see myself at Presidential campaign dinners
But I'm passing blunts around a bunch of gang members
When you’re too hood to be in them Hollywood circles
And you’re too rich to be in that hood that birthed you
And you become better than legends you thought were the greatest
And outgrow women you love and thought you could stay with
Life become clearer when you wipe down your mirror
And leave notes around for yourself to remember
I like to teach and build
With brothers about how easy it is to reach a mil
All you need is a skill
Then it’s grindtime
Imagination better than knowledge, ask Einstein
It’s all in the mind
Nasty the nicest
Just one minute after it's heard, you all will recite it
You all will repeat it, you'll call me a genius
If you didn't now that I said it I forced you to think it
Write in my little vignettes, sipping Moet
bytch when you vision me, you vision the best
When I was young they called me Olu’s son
Now he’s Nas' father, I was the good seed
He was the wise gardener
Verse 2
Beautiful life, often I dream that I can bring my nikkas
Conservatives don’t understand slang linguistics
The burbs talking like the hood will change with quickness
Love the skinny model chicks but I prefer the thickness
So what I rap about my riches and I’m ostentatious
Get out a gangsta’s business, seems to me your thoughts are basic
Try to compare what you live to the life I master
See the fly shyt I wear, you try to rock it after
Big bracelets, golden Egyptian faces
White wine spritzers and Switzerland on vacation
The strip club scene favors Josephine Baker
Dope fiend neighbors, growing up I’ve seen paper
I describe it, hope you can visualize it
This is reminiscent to all the parks in the project
When my British Knights can rival your Foamposites
Don’t make me pull my Lottos out the closet

Dope. Juicy has previously said he wanted to do tracks with Nas

Yea, I mentioned later in the post that it's a 3 year span verses 04 to now. It was inevitable that it would be less focused and less consistent. Still a good project...they just aren't similar projects.

Rza still got it why can’t he do this for the Wu?
Anyway this shaping up to be a classic. Nas may never drop again but as long as he drops shyt from the vault we good.
Now we need a Mobb Deep lost tapes
