Albums Nas - The Lost Tapes 2 (Discussion Thread)

XXL? It’s definitely a good project but classic...

Nah

When it dropped everyone said it set the bar for how veterans should rap.
4:44 definetly was inspired from the Producer to the subject matter

Its definetly a classic in his catalogue so I look it at it that way

These beats are worse than the ones i tried to make in frootyloops in 2005

:Pgtfoh:

 

[mobbinfms]

none of these are classic and very far from them.

Life is Good is borderline. I’ve got it at 4.5. Way too early to make the call on LT2.

Illmatic is a masterpiece, beyond a classic

But I think LIG is right there with Stillmatic, God Son LT 1 just below IWW and those to me are classics

On a good day I can say its a top 5 Nas project

If nothing else its the second best album of 2012

I can say already LT2 much better than LiG. But I'm not a big fan of life is good.

Lt2 got some really good tracks. I'm happy with it.

There’s plenty of classic albums that arent as good as Illmatic. People need to chill wit this Illmatic shyt.

LT2 is the best album of 2019 so far to me. I’ve got it at 4.5 mics.
It’s better than Bandana which was the best album of the year until LT2 dropped.

It’s juat to early to call it a classic. It’s not even a month old.

I feel like LT2 is better than LiG also. I could never get into LiG. Been trying to listen to it lately since people are saying its one of Nas' best albums but still aint feeling it like some of his other albums. if the music doesnt move me then I cant get into the lyrics. same as Nasir. Nastradamus is better than that to me.

Life Is Good to me is like a 4.7/5 while LT2 is like a 4.5/5 to me. Life Is Good set the table for adult-rap vets and laid the foundation for Jayz 4:44.

98% of the classic albums in HipHop's history aren't on the level of Illmatic.

Untitled, Distant Relatives, and LIG all set the stage for 4:44.

You think Jay studied them shyts it wasn’t his own life experiences and maturation that compelled him to make 4:44
