i've had it for far too long. But i'll think about it...
i remember this and I always had doubts about this being anything official. Or if Nas had anything to do with putting this together. For starters, Film, which is an AMAZING piece of work was done as a Red Bull promotion. Depending on what version of It Wasn’t You was on it, the popular version we all love was a Dirty Harry Blend. I don’t think anyone has heard the original version. One on One, another dope piece, was part of a movie soundtrack. Even Street Dreams pt 2 was something remixed by Pete Rock.
there was a LT2 release scheduled for 2003 that Sony scrapped. That was supposed to include studie freestyles and studio remixes. I’d like to also note that, I clearly remember seeing early track list for the original LT that also included
YOU DON’T KNOW ME
MY WORST ENEMY IS ME
YOUR MOUTH GOT YOU IN IT
I personally don’t think these three songs, if added to the original LT, would have hurt it one bit. I think it would’ve been better. I even think that either one of these songs could replaced EVERYBODY’S CRAZY since it was released earlier as part of the STILLMATIC bonus tracks.

Hadn't heard a few of these. Nas is something else.

Lost Tapes is special but its not better than Illmatic, It Was Written, Life Is Good, Kings Disease 2 or KD3
Nas tried to put out LT2 a few times before we got the version we got
In 03 like you said
In 05 before he officially left Sony
In 2011 was the closest but Nas wasn’t happy with the terms Def Jam set and the budget.

You are fukking insane.
Have to have a rare disagreement with you, the only one that even comes close to Lost Tapes on that list is Illmatic and IWW, and personally i have it above It Was Written.
In terms of Nas career and writing nothing encapsulates what makes him great like a song like Purple, Doo Rags You Gotta Love Ir or My Way, i feel like Lost tapes has some of the best writing of his career and some of the best writing in rap history, its a near perfect release with a few contenders for Nas top 10-20 songs, moreso than any of the albums you named apart from his very first two.
Nah man it’s easily Nas second best project.

I got LT1 3rd. If somebody said it's better then IWW I wouldn't argue shyt is flawless. The real debate is Stillmatic vs LT all time highs or all around consistency

Lost Tapes has both all time highs and consistency, Purple might be top 10 Nas songs of all time.
