Albums Nas - The Lost Tapes 2 (Discussion Thread)

[JustCKing]

The Scientist according to Just Blaze was supposed to be the official Jay/Nas collab that was to be on HHID. Nas came to the studio with the some rhyme books and started piecing verses together. Then he got a call from someone, said he’d be back, and never returned.


Just recently said that the track is finished so if its included on Lost Tapes AND still has a Jay verse then that probably counts out Street shyt and Sinatra In The Sands because Nas ain’t putting THREE jay verses on his album, let alone Lost Tapes.

They could always remove verses from any of these songs and add new ones especially considering how long Nas has held onto them.

 

[Sinister]

Can you confirm this?

I mean, we know of:

The Scientist

Street---- Swizz tacked on Jay, Jada, and X. The original just had Nas on it. It was one of the more talked about songs during the Life Is Good listening sessions

Sinatra In The Sands

YN from XXLmag confirmed Nas and Jay did three songs together in one night for HHID. Only "Black Republicans" was released from that session.

Didn't Jay and Nas also record something meant for the Tru Life album?

Didn't Jay and Nas also record something meant for the Tru Life album?

I remember seeing that in like 2006 or 2007. I wonder if they actually finished the song.

I wonder if Nas is going to call it by it’s original Name or if it’s going to be NY stomp

Hmm

Earliest is probably mid july. Latest is probably September.

Of course i’m guessing. I’m basing my prediction off of the fact that if he wants to drop LT2 as an “appetizer” for his main album then he could drop in july and have between now and December to drop a new album. If he waits until September then that will mark the 16th anniversary of the OG Lost Tapes plus his birthday month.

 

[Big Mark]

Ok. Give me

Colors
Who Are You
Snitch Alibi
NY Stomp/Scientist

And I’ll be content.

Don't forget that God's son, Stillmatic, and hhid were all in December.

So LT2 September album in December could work.

 

[Big Mark]

The original Lost Tapes was in September too. Yeah, I guess it should be soon with a possible new album in Dec.

 

[Big Mark]

Nas need to start talking it up more though. I guess he’s gonna be talking about it more soon.

I must be the only one that doesn't understand the hype for "The Scientist". The beat is cluttered noise and Nas sounds just ok on it.
