Albums Nas - The Lost Tapes 2 (Discussion Thread)

[desp]

I'm not gonna lie, I'd rather listen to them Griselda nikkas over Nas. That last album from Nas was absolute garbage.

 

[Piff Perkins]

Damn this came at the perfect time. The year has been so dry, rap wise. Lots of dope shyt coming up later this month, and hopefully we get this album before winter.

Well, Tana Talk 3, EIF, and Supreme blientele > Nasir

Benny dropping this month btw

I won't get excited until a release date is set. Been two decades of him announcing stuff then taking forever to actually drop if at all.

His manager even posted it. It’s officially happening.

 

[Ziggiy]

Def Jam was the worse thing to happen to his career

That makes no sense.

His first three albums under def jam debuted at number ONE. Something no Nas album had accomplished since 1999. Nasir debuted at 5. His first three albums were also Grammy nominated, again something no Nas album had accomplished since 99. Hip Hop Is Dead, Untitled, and Life Is Good were also critically acclaimed. Nas got a nice little mainstream boost from his Def Jam era.

 

[Ziggiy]

I don't think so.

I do however remember Nas complaining LA Reid didn't give him a big enough budget.

He was upset at the budget and the fact that Def Jam didn’t want to count Lost Tapes against his album deal. Technically if Lost Tapes 2 were counted as a true album then Nas’s contract with them would have been up with the release of Life Is Good

Them my nikkas but that’s not that hard of a task fam. Lol.

 

[L. Deezy]

Id cop off the strength of a finished "The Scientist"

 

[Monoblock]

If we get The Scientist and Deja Vu (yes I have the Acetate version) in CDQ....man I’ve been waiting over 15 years for this to drop.

Somebody tell these shorties reach for the stars
Instead they tell em how to reach through the bars

 

[Headcase]

It's about damn time. Here's hoping "Talk of New York" is included, one of my favorite unreleased Nas joints

 

[Anti-Anime]

this nikka in a science lab conducting experiments now?

fuk he got on

In the lab fusing the most precious metals and minerals in the world concocting something unimaginable

The music was blehhh

HHID was trash
Untitled was forgettable
Life is Good is decent.

"mainstream boost" yet all of his albums sold less than the Colombia records ones.
