Albums Nas - The Lost Tapes 2 (Discussion Thread)

[Piff Perkins]

Here we fukking go brehs.


Statik confriming that he did the beat in the snippet, and he also tagged it in Hawaii. More than likely this was a track he did for Kanye during the Hawaii sessions for MBDTF. RZA and Q-Tip were there around that time too, working with Nas on stuff.

I’m super curious and maybe some big Nas fans that have been more in tune with him during the 2010’s like @Ziggiy can help me.

I’m wondering what era/s the tracks produced by Pete, RZA, and Alchemist are from. I can’t wait to hear Nas over Pete and RZA.

Has Nas ever rapped over RZA besides Verbal Intercourse and his feature on The W album?

Pete hasn’t produced anything for Nas since Illmatic, right? I know Alc recorded a lot with Nas from 2001-2005 but not much since then and didn’t think he’d done anything with Nas in the 2010’s, and he released some of his last Nas stuff in 2014. Could it be since then?

Also have Statik and Nas ever worked together before? I wanna say no.

I believe Nas and Alc started working together again after Dog chit when Mobb Deep and Nas reunited and planned on doing a whole project

Y'all sleepin? I haven't heard anyone say anything about No I.D. No I.D. laced LIG. Overall, I'm impressed. The talk, however, will inevitably turn to what did not make the album and what and how much is left. We know there is lots.

Wonder if anything was recorded for the Nas.Com concept

 

[Ill-Mind]

Who would you want instead?

Less Swizz, more Alchemist, Just Blaze, Primo and L.E.S. I’m glad to see DJ Toomp tho. I was really hoping we’d get The Scientist w/ Jay-Z.

I still remember hearing Nas and Lloyd Banks were going to appear on one of the good Friday tracks together at the time but it never happened.

I can’t believe fans of rap think that Swizz produced Echo

How do y’all not know Swizz production off the first bell and whistle

im not a rap fan, im hiphop fan.

also dj scratch looped it but it was also produced by swizz and jcole.

i forgot to add you into that first post with all the other nas fans. ill add you now

Maybe any track with Jay is too big for this

I’ll add to your Alchemist story by saying Al said Nas is the big name artist he currently wants to work with the most. He said even though he’s mostly recording at his crib and is done chasing placements, that he and Nas recorded a lot in person, had a lot of fun making records, and that he thinks if he and Nas could lock in for a few weeks that they could make a classic album.

Also fun fact. Nas passed on the We Gon Make It beat. I actually can’t hear Nas over it but I’m sure he would’ve rocked it.

we should keep adding stories from producers and leave the actual quotes/links

DJ Scratch made Echo you genius

i am a genius so i appreciate the acknowledgment

echo was a 3way collab by dj scratch, swizz and jcole.
