You also gotta consider the long term prospects of Nas catalog...

He’s got Mass Appeal to release his music now, his team is very smart. His fan base is from the era of buying albums and supporting him. Honestly he can release all kinds of lost tapes material for years.

I mean think about in say another 5 years, they have some unheard Nasty Nas era stuff and releasing it, it would definitely sell amongst his fan base.

From the outside looking in, Nas really has his investments in great shape, has his own label, he can tour forever, still put out new music and still release lost tapes material.

My main point for us that have been a fan for 25 years, we still got a lot to look forward to, God willing. :blessed:

It’s too tough to call wall LT2 will be, some folks in here got a bit of an inside track and prolly have some good insight on what it will be.

As long as it’s OG stuff, not remixes and not watered down but some cut n paste bullshyt features or something, I know I’ll like it.

The only way I wouldn’t like it is if it were Lost Tapes 2 featuring the cuts that didn’t make Nasir.

Coli detectives on the case:ehh:




Not sure if Lost Tapes 2 will have tracks from this far back, but if it does would love this song ALC is tweeted about to be on there.



Mos didn't drop anything in 2002 or 2003 which is around the time Godson dropped but he had this Kanye produced track on his 2004 album (his previous album was in 1999 and had no Kanye beats so I'm assuming this was The Toy's original beat)

I would love to her cdq versions of Tales From The Hood, Esco Let's Go, High, Stay Chiseled, Blackness, Who Are You, The Scientist(full version). Sinatra In The Sand and that song with the beat Timberland played on IG. The song the beat 9th wonder did, White Man's Paper and whatever else he got to round out the album. I would be happy af if he decided to say fukkit and make a double album of unreleased tracks:banderas::whew::ohlawd:.

Does anyone know if Nas actually did any work with a 9th wonder beat? I know 9th was going hard to get his tracks on Nas albums but do we actually have nay proof that they connected? Someone on this board made a good point a couple of months ago saying that maybe 9th offended Nas by remixing God's Son so nas is refusing to work with him. I can certainly see that argument because a good remix album augments the argument that Nas raps over weak beats. 9th may have dug his own whole.

This was the original plan for Lost Tapes II. It was initially going to be unreleased Firm songs and even some Pre-Illmatic tracks. This was when it was first announced. Then it kept getting pushed back.

In 2003, before the first Lost Tapes 2 was cancelled, it was also going to include studio freestyles and studio remixes. Nas is sitting on a treasure trove of work.

Well, according to the second tweet, there is a beat (maybe not as dope as the original) attached to it so we'll have to add it to our unreleased Nas track want list.

It wasn’t even the fact that 9th remixed the album. It was all the big shyt he talked AFTERWARDS talking like he was the only one who could craft a good beat for Nas. Dude should’ve shut the hell
Up and been humble. Especially Since Gods Son is crazy from a production standpoint. Salaam and Alchemist laced him on that album
