Albums Nas - The Lost Tapes 2 (Discussion Thread)

[qnsfinest]

This shyt gets better and better after each listen.

Hard to pick a favorite track, and that’s what makes a great album, when you have a difficult time picking a favorite track.

Its the same with illmatic, OB4CL, low end theory.

 

[Ziggiy]

Its a line on one of these songs, (I dont know off hand which one) where he says he put hands on his other lil brother and he still regrets it. I forgot the other brothers name. He went to Temple Univ. too.

Which song y'all if you know.

I need to head to Genius and read these lyrics

Beautiful Life

 

[ShaDynasty]

This was recorded during the untitled sessions and I think its sort of being critcal of the then boot strap crowd, that album and the sessions kinda had songs touching on various topics and perspectives on race so I sort of get what it was trying to do

Yeah, I think he could have made his point clearer. As with a lot of his political/social commentary, it sounds plain ignorant or uninformed. He's at his best talking about his life, storytelling etc which luckily this album has a lot of.

 

[Waldo Geraldo Faldo]

Damn, right Beautiful Life is quintessential Nas

 

[Da King]

The second half of the album is a 5 mic album

 

[Big Dick]
