Albums Nas - The Lost Tapes 2 (Discussion Thread)

[Asicz]

Pete Rock & DJ Khalil/DJ Dahi have the best beats on the album.....

Feel the same.

DJ Dahi is amazing he did alot of great stuff on Schoolboy Q CrashTalk.

After some listens, second half of the album is much better than the first. The last 4 tracks really close out nice

Damn I've played songs so many times over from this joint. The lyricism, the amount of stories, and sonically its almost as if Kanye executive produced this joint as opposed to Nasir. Off first couple listens thought it was dope but not touching first Lost Tapes. Now I'm not so sure

Definitely feels like a more cohesive project than LT1.



This album certainly grows on you for certain... and in essence, is the foundation of a superb project (you really have to give it several spins to immerse yourself in the content; there's so much depth and entendre's to unravel - it's truly a sonic treasure map... and each time you play it, you're deciphering the pathway to more gold).



I haven't felt this way about an album in a long fukkin' time.




Gorgeous.




This might be Nas's most well produced album since... it's predecessor.




Nas should only release Lost Tapes albums. lol.

Just realized DJ Dahi made Loyalty from DAMN and Drug Dealers Anonymous.
Crazy.

Big name Super producers aren't always optimal or Ideal for Nas imo. Nas had "Popular Thug" ft. Kelis and "Mocking Bird" they weren't great.

Life is Good is a well produced as this.

You guys are starting to get a little carried away. Must be the anticipation factor of Lost Tapes 2 maybe.

War Against Love sounds like a mix between Untitled and Distant Relatives eras, I love it

Some of the rhyming reminds me of Distant Relatives vibes too.

Are we gonna fact check some of the hotepish bars on this project?

 

[Asicz]

Has still kicking.that Nation of Islam/5 Percenter Ideology on that "Tunisia".

'Afro Asiatic Black man' etc.

 

[Asicz]

Pretty Cool of Mass Appeal to put the whole album on their YouTube channel imo.

This is a top 5 Nas project and probably more solid to me in today's time in comparison to life is good which was banger after banger after banger minus the swizz chamber

It's not a top 5 Nas project. Illmatic, IWW, Still, LT1, LIG are all clearly better.

Nas performance is debatable, but the production is definitely more consistent on this than Stillmatic.

U DO realize ur in the minority that feels this way right? The problem isnt Nas fam.

That's how he feels. Leave him alone. Maybe he was expecting something different. I just don't understand how he's saying Nas is washed when this is essentially a compilation of old songs.

 

[JayBaldacci]

Sat with it once so cant really say much but so far so good but kinda bummed we didnt get tracks left of It Was Written

Why would you get IWW tracks in 2019?
