Albums Nas - The Lost Tapes 2 (Discussion Thread)

[mathematik]

Nas gets judged like no other!! Niccas expect perfection everytime? Album filled with good music and people focus on the negative!

Lost Tapes 2 > Bandana

This was funny as fukk for some reason. Lol

 

[419scam]

[tremonthustler1]

So Who Are You = cutting room floor

Make The World Go Round and Reach Out = album cuts


And y’all STILL defend Nas’ decision makers.

[Piff Perkins]

the Smooth The Hustla flow homage at the end of No Bad Energy been in my head all day

 

[spliz]

-Says thats Whats The 411 is the Illmatic of R&B debut albums

-Says that Mary is responsible for getting rappers back on stage and tours back in the day because a lot of venues were shutting rappers out because of shootouts and getting sued

-Says he’s kind of tired of celebrating Illmatic anniversaries (word to @Big Mark )

-Says his greatest collaboration is Fast Life with Kool G. Rap

-Says that if he were to pick any song for someone who didn’t know about him to listen to it would be NY State Of Mind

-Says he want to act again but he doesn’t know what project to do

-Says that it will be sooner than 17 years before he releases LT 3 and 4

-Says that Stevie Wonder knew one of the attorneys he was working with during his divorce and the the Lawyer told him that Stevie told the lawyer to make sure that Nas was taken care of. Says he wanted to say that in a rhyme and that he said “FACTS”’ as an ad-lib on the song but they didn’t keep it on the song.

-Confirms that Who Are You came from the criticism he was getting from black leaders about naming his album ******. Said that it was hypocritical for Black Leaders to protest him when he was talking about injustice in the black community.

Thank the LORD at the bolded.

I listened to most of the album except for the last song cause I was running late and I like most of the tracks, a couple stood out, gonna take few spins to remember the song titles though lol

Who are you

The 2nd song on the album

The song with the female singer on the hook saying take off your chains put on your crown or something like that


Were my favorite songs on first listen.

I LOVE Reach Out. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that song whatsoever

 

[Amestafuu (Emeritus)]

One of the best hip hop collabs ever. That back and forth at the end

Breauh!!

That era of Nas is the ultimate Mc of all time. He was showing out.

Coli hyperbole is undefeated. Album wasn't even out 12 hours before The Coli proclaimed it's superior to the album The Coli claimed was AOTY after 1 day.

Man. shyt crazy.

I could think of 20+ tracks over the last ~10 years that could/should have been replaced by anything on this album. Nas’ ear for his own music and what his fans want is all fukked up. Or maybe he just don’t give a fukk.

 

[Suge Knight]

Skimmed thru this on youtube real fast..

That alchemist track is
We need a Nas/Alchemist collab album bad...

 

[Big Dick]

This shyt definitely exceeded my expectations. Been a while since one of my favorite rappers actually dropped a real good album.
