Nas to Record On Mass Appeal Records; Will Release 'Lost Tapes 2' & Posthumous Pimp C Album


This has been announced. Mass Appeal already put out RTJ2, Fashawn's sophomore album The Ecology and Bishop Nehru's project.


LT2 will drop AFTER Nas is free and clear of Def Jam, the reason being (in my opinion) is because Mass Appeal is distributed by RED, which is owned by Sony. Sony owns the rights for all of Nas's unreleased material up to Streets Disciple (and probably Hip Hop Is Dead and Untitled as they "shared" Nas with Def Jam as part of his deal to move over there)

It would make sense for to drop LT2 with the full array of unreleased material from 20 plus years rather than only 8 or so from Def Jam

I must admit that I am just a little more excited about the Lost Tapes 2 than the new album, probably because of the long delay. I am sure, however, that that I will get more excited once we started getting concrete info, interviews and music.

I'd imagine he'll sign another major deal and use Mass Appeal as a distributor. I doubt Nas can buy his masters tho which sucks. Having Sony and Def Jam in your pockets on album sales must have been rough.

Just a little?

Nas could release 7 more Lost Tapes and they'd all be better than any New album.

The'd all be much better than Life Is Good and Untitled, put it that way.

How about his stanbase?

I'll throw in a G!

I'm not saying all of that. I'm just saying that we've been waiting for over 10 years for the follow up. There is tons of material both known and unknown to pick from. Its very frustrating when the Greatest MC of all-time takes so long to put out another classic album but there is tons of classic material that is complete and collecting dust. No offense to Nas but we want to hear all the music.

This Meek/Drake shyt has been making me wish we get at least one more full diss track by Nas to a respected emcee before he retires. Not a subliminal diss or something or a line but a diss track.

I dont know how it could happen at this point but it could be something friendly/competitive.
