Albums Nas - The Lost Tapes 2 (Discussion Thread)

[T.he I.nformant]

It is but i just can‘t hear this style of always repeating primo beats no more, loop/scratch/90bpm - sick of it, they didn‘t age well in my opinion

This was cool the way Nas flipped a cliché into a cool line that invokes some uncomfortable imagery

This album is dope as hell, been on repeat all weekend. Only song that I skip is boring ass Who Are You. Everything else is fire.

Might get flamed here but Nasir wasn’t bad as people think either. I keep saying that Nas wasn’t on the streets shyt or no gangster shyt, he wasn’t even on the bytches so it just wasn’t what people wanted to hear. The beats were very good so for me, everything he has done since HHID was legit. Even though what he did on the Get Down.

Man, I love Nasir, I like it better than Life Is Good, which was dope but I hated the first half of that album. I'll never get the hate for Nasir.

Bro. U wanna know something. Im fully convinced if Nas dropped Illmatic TODAY people would complain about his beats. Im about 99% sure of it.

THAT'S A FACT JACK!

And I know people are on some BS when it comes to Nas's beat selection when posters on here was asking why can't Nas have Q Tip lace him with something like this:



^^^ If Nas rapped over this, people would be calling it the worst beat they ever heard. The switch makes that beat somewhat redeemable, but Q Tip has far better beats. And before 4:44 came out, posters on here were straight clowning No I.D. After that No I.D. suddenly became this Top 10 all time great. He gave Nas some of the same caliber production on LIG and posters on here said the production was weak.

This is all 100% facts right here.
