@Big Mark so what happened to DJ Rhude or DJ Mike Nice separate attempts to make Nas mixtapes full of unreleased songs: "the found tapes vol 2" and "please listen to my demo vol 2", respectively? any word? DJ Mike Nice recently followed me back but idk if either guys are inspired to release mixtapes again given that datpiff's mixtapes are kinda phased out by now and yet people would probably want to hear vintage Nas that these collectors are sitting on, including DJ Dirty Harry who had unlimited access to the Columbia acapellas when making the "Living Legends Chapter 1" mixtape (statik selektah, too for 'The Prophecy' series) -- there's enough songs to blend a chapter 2+ sequel like with "el chapo" but not sure if Nas would greenlight it given that most of the lost tapes are from his Columbia days and not from his scrapped Def Jam 2009-era recordings prior to Distant Relatives

I recently heard of 2 collectors who may be in the business of trading each other unreleased The Firm Era Nas songs from the Aftermath vault with the OG cormega verses in tact...not sure if that went thru or not

I’d bet Nas ain’t fukking with none of that as of right now. He probably makes wayyyy more money on the Mass Appeal albums as he owns those Masters. If you notice the last few years in commercials and television shows if you hear a Nas song its usually from Lost Tapes 2, KD1-2, or Magic.

He also said a few years ago on Drink Champs that all of those vaulted Columbia songs will REMAIN vaulted.

It’s funny that you should ask. Early last week, I hit DJ Mike Nicw up on Twitter and asked. He said,

“It’s on hold as I’m working with G Rap at moment. G has a documentary about his life coming”

Around November of last year, I reached out to DJ Rhude and asked about his project. He said,

“Been delayed, been dealing with life shyt.”

I’m like you, @jensyao, I noticed Dirty Harry and Statik with all that obscure material and knew there was more. I was looking forward to those 2 projects would see the light because I still love that old Nasty Nas plus I’m a collector. I think we all understand that Nas has moved on from that older stuff. I’m just one that hopes that whatever rare, lost or stashed Nas material that has gotten out, makes it to this board and into our collections.

I knew someone in high school who was exactly like this. Mind you this was in the early to mid 00s not the 90s, but for whatever reason my classmate became a Pac fan and was not fukking with Big, Nas, or Jay solely based off Pac dissing them lmao. Just seemed crazy to me but then again in hindsight I was the kid back then who was telling people Braveheart Party was better than H To The Izzo.
:dead:

When you're a kid you just ride for your guy no matter what lol.
