Too many of you have no idea what's going on.

Nas is not about to release an album full of songs you've been able to easily access on YouTube for years. Just so you can have the cdq quality.

Expect songs that's been in the stash, Songs that's been reworked, Songs that was made for a particular album that didn't come out, Songs that didn't make the cut of previous albums. IE, the record with him, justin, n jay.

If you expecting talk of ny n my will type of songs(songs that's been on YouTube for years)
You're totally off base
You MAY be right...but old songs in cdq was exactly what LT1 was for the most part.

Ain't no "may" to it...
I'm taking bets if anybody feeling froggy..lol

The general public access to his unreleased catalog is different today due to technology. That was not the case for the original lost tapes. AVID FANS heard some of those songs.
There must be a feeling of freshness n newness when you listen to a new cd. Otherwise what's the point

NY all day..Da Stead & BK..
"Family" and "Come Get Me" are cool, but neither are 5/5 IMO. IMO, "Family" is possibly the worst Nas/Mobb collab and "Come Get Me" is the worst Nas/Premo track to make a Nas album. Neither are bad, just not THAT good.
Shoot Em Up is a 5/5 banger I dont care what noone say. Every street nikka I knew fukked wit that track. Lol

Gold bath tub,

Chardonnay, rollin up green /

rare paintings on my wall,
my lifestyle's like the Forbes magazine /
closets, full of rockets and Submachines"

One of Nas' most underrated verses. nikka rapped as a jail cell :damn:

I'ma prison cell six by nine
Livin' hell stone wall metal bars for the gods in jail
My nickname the can, the slammer, the big house
I'm the place many fear 'cause there's no way out
I take the sun away put misery instead
When you with me most folks consider you dead
I saw too many inmates fallin' apart
Call for the guards to let them out at night when it's dark
Convicts think they alone but if they listen close
They can hear me groan touch the wall feel my pulse
All the pictures you put up is stuck to my skin
I hear ya prayers (even when ya whisperin')
I make it hotter in the summer, colder in the winter
If the court parole ya then another con enters
No remorse for your tears I seen 'em too often
When you cry I make you feel alive inside a coffin
Watch you when you eat play with you mind when you sleep
Make you dream that you free then make you wake up to me
Face to face with a cage no matter your age
I can shatter you turn you into a savage in rage
Change ya life that's if you get a chance to get out
'Cause only you and I know what sufferings about
Yo it's stunnin' when bed sheets become your woman
And I'm the one that gotcha weapons when the beef is comin'
Maybe one day I'll open up my arms to release you
You'll always be my property nikka stay legal...
