Maybe we get that Street shyt track.
Props to @DJ Rhude for droppin' the Found Tapes and even the Found Tapes 2. On the first one, he put out the CDQ No DJ versions of Tales From the Hood, Seeds of Heaven, Your Mouth Got You In It, and You Don't Know Me. These were all songs that I needed the No DJ versions of. Its not on many favorites lists but I was hoping for No Dj versions of When Thugs Die, High, True Dialect, Take it in Blood II or alternate version, Never Too Late and My Will.
DJ Rhude, if you still out there, I hope you still hustling to get us more of the Nas' Found Tapes. We are still looking for them. Many Props!

You’re the second person this thread who’s asked about a NODJ “My Will”, you mean the “Honeymoon is over” freestyle?
Sounds like it’s about as complete as it’s gonna get, unless there’s a full version out there.
This might be contrary to most opinions here, but I'm kind of hoping for some tracks that we don't know about or haven't heard of like that such as No Such Thing As White Jesus track with Frank Ocean or the Sinatra's in the Sand if that ain't on his next album. 
Some of the tracks in question are old as hell and we already got the CDQ, although I could understand why someone would want an official release of it, ain't mad at that.

I want official releases of everything so it’s all good. A Lost Tape with only all new tracks wouldn’t seem much like a lost tape project at all. It would seem like a new project that why I think throwing some older stuff on there would work well.

L.E.S. gave Nas "Undying Love" and "Favor For A Favor", which were highlights on I Am... I don't like the beat for "I Want To Talk To You", but it's the only beat that I thought was subpar for L.E.S. "Dr. Knockboot" is the worst beat on that album. Nastradamus is really the only album with consistently subpar music. Nas had songs with Dame Grease like "Wanna Play Rough" that were album worthy and would've been a highlight on either album. "Find Ya Wealth" and "Real nikkas" from QB's Finest are two L.E.S. joints that would've been fire had they been on either album.
Nas definitely has had intentions or attempted to put together a production super team. If you look at the line up on Hip Hop Is Dead, that was definitely a production super team (Dre, Scott Storch, Kanye West), but L.E.S. arguably had better tracks than them. Additionally, Nas also wanted Pharrell and Timbaland for Hip Hop Is Dead. Either those songs were cut or Nas never made into the studio with them for that album. There were fake tracklists floating around with a Timbaland produced song featuring Michael Jackson though. Nas mentioned wanting Michael Jackson on Hip Hop Is Dead. Nothing else was ever said about it though:
Salute just off the strength of mentioning the QBs Finest album...loved that shyt and haven’t listened to any of it in years...riding to it tomorrow

There's literally no chance of that being the case.
Just the roll out let's you know nas understands the spirit of a "lost tapes" album

Im saying he could just disguise it as the Lost Tapes and roll it out without all the promotion of a new album.
Bulk of Lost Tapes was the I am leftovers (and some Stillmatic b-sides)
We getting a new song too? :_magne:
I've actually not been this excited for a release in awhile, you can tell it's really dropping. Hope the date is sometime in July.
Swizz
Only three things guaranteed in this world....death, taxes and Swizz fukking up a Nas album
Granted he's given Nas some mediocre to wack songs, but Nas's worst albums have no Swizz production on them.
