No it wouldn't. The songs simply aren't that great. But LAD & AEOM are overrated anyways.
3.5 and that's generous.

If you take I AM and NASTRADAMUS and make them a double CD that would be the worst double album ever. Way worse than streets disciple.


Thank you.

You're wrong. It was leaked......The Lost Tape was supposed to be on I Am/Nastarudamus.....the leaked ruined it the chance of "I Am...Nastradamus" a double CD....shyt would be fly. So once the leaked.so it's pretty much ruined it.... Nas had to change it with I Am and Nastradamus.

What stands out to me about this album that nobody ever talk about is when....

Nas came at Cormega with this sloppy shyt :mjlol:



Mega showed him how to do that flow correctly three months later on the "Deep Blue Sea" soundtrack

"You a pathetic nikka, first it was Biggie and Pac
Now you jealous of Jigga
You like a breast implant, fake on the inside
You nice, let's battle for dough Mr. Big-Time"

Nah breh remember All of Nastradamus wasn't supposed to be on the double album. I Am was supposed to have cuts like

Day Dreamin Stay Schemin
The Curse
Find Ya Wealth
Amongst Kings


And Lost Tapes cuts

Fetus
Poppa Was A Player
Drunk By Myself
Blaze A 50


Project Windows, Life We Chose and Come Get Me were the only original cuts from The original I Am double disc, the rest of it was rushed because Nas said he really wanted to have at least 4 albums out by the year 2000, which added to the rushed and uneven sound.
