This ALBUM is FYRE. Can't really skip one track on it. Nas was typical Nas which is always flames.

 

[Pegasus Jackson]

Someone finally sampled the piano intro of Uptown Anthem.

 

[TillWeDie]

Whoa whoa. Wtf is this??? Why dont we have this??

I Need this! I think it's matching the fast and aggressive flow better

Here's Nas Jackin for Beats freestyle where he rocks over the original Uptown Anthem. Makes a good companion piece with The Art of It.

Classic album. period.
Tired of this narrative that we got to wait a certain amount of time to be labeling something classic
and a lot of these songs are old as hell as is, so that tells you they are timeless
Dudes on here been listening to rap 10+ years or more..long enough to know

Producers deserve a lot of credit too....

best hip hop release since victory lap imo..

Wonder if we can get exact years these songs were put down. Nas music is so good most of it can be from any era and it sounds relevant. Lost Tapes 2 didn't disappoint.

Nas unreleased catalog is as good as his official catalog.

Life is Good and Untitled vibes EVERYWHERE. That first joint the super dope shyt sounds 2016 ish.

The Pharrell laced track sounds mid 2000s, something he had in the tuck. I had a GREAT balance of Mature Nas. I'm very happy so far but I'll try again today

[Malik1time]

So far the 1st two songs nice

 

[Ziggiy]

Them punks at HipHopDX scored it a 3.1/5



The songs that permeate The Lost Tapes 2 aren’t earsores but are lesser variations of cuts he crafted during that time frame. He inspired his audience better on “We’re Not Alone” from the untitled LP more effectively than he aims to do on “Royalty” featuring RaVaughn. “Bye Baby” from Life Is Good‘s reserve is a much more satisfying commentary on Nas’ divorce from Kelis than “Beautiful Life,” also featuring RaVaughn. And, “A Queens Story” from Life Is Good is a wistful tribute to his hood that is far superior to “Vernon Family.”
