If I was in the Juice Crew we woulda won :wow:


He doesn’t do it often as humble but arrogant Nas is :blessed:

love these lines from The Season in that regard

Can the king lounge for a second, kick his hooves up?
Grow stubble on the face for once without a smooth cut?
Grow a little gut, can't even enjoy the fruit of my labor
Before they call me Luke and hand me my lightsaber

Schooling people takes forever; don't bother
yeah, Lost Tapes 2 was classic...just went above a lot of people's heads...gotta flush out your ear of all the other bullshyt records and recalibrate your standards in which people evaluate records nowadays

those so-called music critics who gave this a low rating don't know how to interpret Nas' lyrics at all

This project needed The Scientist to give it an extra push

When Nas had the whole promo with the lab for LT2, I thought for certain we would get "The Scientist". If it ever ends up on a Lost Tapes, it has to be the 1st song. I don't really hear it having any other placement. It sounds like an intro.

I still stand on Lost Tapes2 >>>>>Kings Disease


I seriously don't even see how this is up for debate. LT2 just hits differently all around. And it's a great summer album too.

Aside from at best 2 or 3 tracks, KD was flat as hell to me. Gave it 2 or 3 full spins at most and never bothered revisiting it. Still can't figure out what people see in KD.

For some reason too that beat on It Never Ends kinda reminded me of the 1st beat on this.




I thought the same thing too. Had a similiar vibe to it and that's the first beat I thought about when I heard it. But Roc's track is a waaaaaaaay better song. I'd argue that's his best song post the Reloaded album.
