Yeah, I know. A few of those songs from bootlegs still ended up on I Am or Nastradamus.
Yup. But I just wish he didnt revamp the whole Nastradamus and just released the songs that were supposed to be on I Am. And kept some songs like Last Words, Come Get Me, Project Windows, Family and Shoot Em Up.

New York, NY (April 19, 2019) — Certified Classics, Legacy Recordings’ division for the celebration of Sony Music and groundbreaking Hip-Hop and R&B catalog, joins forces with The Pop Up Agency in commemoration of the 25th anniversary of Illmatic, the seminal debut album from Hip-Hop icon Nas. Illmatic XXV: Memory Lane in NYC is an immersive multi-media pop-up event open for 8 days in April at Sony Square NYC (25 Madison Avenue), a public space committed to showcasing innovations in products, music, movies and gaming. Illmatic XXV opens today Friday, April 19 (exactly 25 years after Columbia Records released the original album on April 19, 1994) and closes Saturday, April 27.

Open to the public, Illmatic XXV transforms elements of Queensbridge 1994–the public housing development in Long Island City, Queens, NY, where Nas grew up and the source of his debut Hip-Hop masterpiece–inside present day Sony Square NYC to give
visitors deeper access and insight into the world of Nas and the enduring impact of
Illmatic.

I’m sick of illmatic at this point. I understand that it’s the 25th anniversary but got damn, he’s been performing and celebrating the 20th anniversary for what seems like an eternity now, basically since promo for LIG stopped. I wanna hear NEW music..

Let Nas have his flowers while he can still smell them

A few different things added than what you're normally used to hearing (Check out Genesis)

I own this album on CD and vinyl, but the first time I copped it was on cassette. I decided to simulate that experience by droppin my 25th Anniversary tribute mix in 2 parts. Here is Side A.

As always, I've combined album cuts with remixes, OG samples, and my own custom blends.

It’s not just about new music for me but I really do think he needs to show more appreciation towards his other bodies of work. I would love to see IWW get this type of love. shyt. Even Stillmatic or Lost Tapes at this point.

Lost Tapes kinda gets the love. Complexhad a really dope Making Of feature on it a few years ago
