Lost Tapes 1 cost nothing to make, no promo and was a success.

No reason why he can't put out another volume from the same era. No reason why he can't put out another 5 volumes, but that's probably being greedy.

The Def Jam era stuff can stay locked away.

There is a good thread on why Nas will more than likely never go back to his Sony material on the Reddit Nas page.

Lowkey minus big things and dr knock boot. This album a classic. It's a personal classic for me. Nas has the best opening 3 run album in rap history truth be told.

This is a fan made tracklist. We never got a tracklist for the double album because it was decided on two albums before they ever nailed down which songs were even making the album.

Something like that. There’s no “official” tracklisting but those songs were all recorded during the i am sessions.

If the next Lost Tapes 3 isn't Sony material then :snoop:

Nas is doing himself a disservice letting that prime work just sit.

It’s not going to be Sony music. All Def Jam and some Mass Appeal stuff. Sony stuff could sound too dated alongside more current recordings.

Ah. I see. Crazy how well that tracklist works. Tho I would put find ya wealth on the 1st disc I think. Either the way the concept was super ill and honestly nas was in a zone back then. Have you seen a tracklist that works better than this one out there? I might try to piece my own og version together

Since Lost Tapes 2 was a failure, and King's Disease was a massive success.. i doubt he goes back into the past to release unfinished songs.... and he shouldnt. :yeshrug:

If you take into account the leaks, unreleased songs & the lost tapes....he made his best music from 99-01 :wow:
He did but he also recorded a lot of his worst

So much music he recorded in that 98-01 post Escobar era

He had about 3 classic albums worth of top material and probably about 10 or more subpar or bad songs. Which isn’t too bad
