Them punks at HipHopDX scored it a 3.1/5:wtf:



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.”

Review: Nas' "The Lost Tapes 2” Doesn't Match The OG's Euphoria



These nikkas ears MUST be made of corn, with heads of muthafukking lettuce:camby:

Out of the all the album songs to mention as being superior, they mention We're Not Alone? The song where Nas rapping about seeing alien spaceships with Horse? :russ:

Come on, son. We're Not Alone is not better than 90% of the songs on here...and this is coming from someone who LOVES Untitled.

Why is the Mass Appeal upload of this beat different than the album version on Spotify?

shyt sounds better too has more bounce :whew:

Damn that’s almost a whole different beat. I think it’s a bit slower than the album version too. Sounds more like a Neptune’s beat on here.

Wonder what happened and why there’s such a difference. Especially considering he recorded this song a long time ago. Did he re-record it for the album or did they just change the master:ohhh:

album is incredible

whoever said the album starts at 'the art of it' was right, but i've been singing that adult film hook all day

jarreau, royalty, and 'who are you' might throw some people off, i fukk with 'who are you' outta the 3

i be listening to some of these songs and ask myself "how the fukk this song didn't make the album?" :mindblown:

I'm gonna need history on every song

If I had to pick a fav right now, it's 'the art of it'

the GOAT does it again :wow:
