In memoriam of the 2003 Lost Tapes 2 (that we will never get), what 5-8 CDQ/No DJ songs from that era would you want to be officially released?

Rise and Fall
My Worst Enemy Is Me
You Don’t Know Me
When Thugs Die
Seeds of Heaven
Your Mouth Got You In It
True Dialect

i doubt Nas cares

he ain't a clout chasing fukboi like Khaled and Kanye

Didnt say he cared. But yea. This Beyonce shyt aint her fault.

 

[King A.D 7]

So is there any word of this being released on cd/vinyl, or is it digital only?

 

[Edub]

He aint losing streams. But he def aint getting that number 1. Lol.

He might get it tho

Those are some good choices, i would go with these as well mixed in to make a good 14 track album ...
Sometimes I Wonder
The Hardest Thing
Understanding
High
Two Seater
Tales From The Hood
Deja Vu
Triple Threat ft Nature & Noreaga

I still remember in a hhid era interview Nas interrupting the interviewer to say he didn't care.

You never heard Nas throw his sales in everyone's faces. You never even hear Nas complain about the firm the way you do Dre.

Nas on untitled literally dissed his own fans that don't support his ideas and said he was happy even if the sales drop.

If I were putting out that 2003 version I would add the list by @BiggWebb79 and edit Sometimes I Wonder and Triple Threat to make them solo. There are also some rare and never before heard tracks from that era like Crabs in Barrel, I am Somebody and Grimey Ways. Throw on the one verse versions of the Curse and My Will and the foulest freestyles and you have a hell of a disc plus it would have 3 rare never before heard songs which is more that the Lost Tapes I. It also has no DJ version of true Dialect, when thugs cry. Many of us will be satisfied with that.

What? Kanye IS the clout. Foh, kanye never gave a fukk about petty shyt like khaled.

There is no beef between Timbo and Nas. The pic below was taken over the weekend:

 

[C-Styles]

ain't no way Nas losing to a f*ckin soundtrack. I bet money Nas is taking the number 1 spot, too many people are invested in hearing this. This is almost as a hip hop mythical legend as detox, except THIS RIGHT HERE is getting released!

true dialect is from 1995.

nobody wants/needs when thugs die lol and the rest of the songs have been released in cdq

they arent/werent nas fans to begin with.

its alluded to in the lyrics. he is also specifically speaking about whites.

I just burnt my American flag
And sent three cracker Nazis to hell and I'm sad
Uh, I'm loading tefs in my mag
To send these red neck bigots some death in a bag
Choke him out with his confederate flag;
I know these devils are mad
Little rap fans that live way out in safe suburbia
Would you stand with me, a United States murderer?
Huh?
Would you testify?
You buy my songs
But would you ride with me?
You understand my struggle
That's what you claim, right?
Well get your aim right
And get your game tight
Don't buy my songs, ya'll don't roll with it
Come into concerts, singing hoe and shyt
fukk ya'll little little hoe bytches,
I don't need ya'll, I'll go gold with it

I want When Thugs Die my Nikka

 

[The Dust King]

I want When Thugs Die my Nikka

aint herd it in like 20 years. hold up.

*edit* jus listened to it now and thats a double down on my statement

the song is not "fun" like a daydreamin/stay schemin or shoot em up.

its the perfect example of a subpar nas song from its basic clue/duro synth beat to the contrived lyrics.

nah breh

 

[Sinister]

I wonder if Nas recorded anything with Murda Inc and 7 Aurelius besides the pledge.

Lol @ possibility of Nas recording it, saying he was going to Murda Inc and literally just ghosting them.
