Albums Nas - The Lost Tapes 2 (Discussion Thread)

[T.H.E.GOD]

I’m loving this album. My two favorite tracks though is war against love and queens wolf. I needed this as a nas fan. Already bumped this shyt more than Nasir. Now looking forward to drink champs but damn these dudes needed jungle in the cypher.

Wow. Pete literally combined Uptown Anthem & Straighten It Out lol.


Album has 6 decent songs IMO. Nas doesn’t rap very well to me the last 15 years or so. This is more of that.

So you are saying he didn't rap well on this life is and good and distant relatives?? They all came our within 10 years. I swear people make stuff up these days

It is and I think thats the only thing that bothers, its like after Jarreau dropped you had people questioned if hes top 5 all time anymore and thats weird

Breh here is how i look at it. He is at the point where he can experiment. I look at how his peers reacted to LT2 coming out. Heck even Jay on mood 4 eva paid homage. Its easy to take shots at nas. He doesnt care and doesnt do interviews with alot of these clowns

This is Nas 2nd worst album in terms of lyricism

What are you talking about dude? He is not some punchline rapper.

 

[NoHalfWay]

Y’all are right brehs, War Against Love fits that Distant Relatives sound perfectly

He oughta get Jr. Gong on a remix for all the brethren

Lol wtf is wrong with u?

U can rap intricate about anything. Hell Nas even started on the song u bring up. He just didn’t go all out
It’s just lyrically all his other albums besides one were better

He was awful on DR. Life Is Good was fine I guess. He’s a facile mind who has nothing to talk about but knows his fan base well enough to hit them with the tropes they require to keep claiming 3 mic albums are classics.

It’s fascinating and sad to behold.
