It'll probably be a free online album. I hope he puts tracks on it that we haven't heard yet. I believe some of the tracks on the original Lost Tapes weren't available before it was released, could be wrong though.

I'd be happy if somebody on here just made a post Lost Tapes 1 unreleased tracks compilation, because I wouldn't buy the real one anyway :yeshrug:

Yeah I don't see what can be on the lost tapes except really unheard tracks and the scientist perhaps. But thoses untitled and hhid unrealeased ain't that great and we all got them.

The lost tapes was necessary because at that time them joints where only available on selected mixtapes with dj's yelling on it and LQ, hard to get since internet was not all other the place and not to mention not only they were gems and better than a lot of tracks that made the albums but they were kinda into the same dark mood.

where's the love, roses and trust could have made a perfect base for the lost tapes 2, but since they are on the bonus... Nas didn't intend to drop the first lost tapes, the label did.
If Nas decide to release it and choose the tracks on there, expect the worse.
The nicca is the reason the lost tapes tracks were not in the official albums in the first place, and I heard him say he don't know or have control on what unrealeased track end up in internet. If he drop the lost tapes 2, he'll probably put tracks that we heard a thousand times thinking we never heard em

First off, there are definitely tracks off of HHID and Untitled that we either haven't heard or only heard rough early versions. There's a song from HHID called "White Man's Paper" featuring Damien Marley that has NEVER been heard. There is a song from Untitled called "Colors" produced by Khalil that was only heard in video of them working on it. There's a song produced by Will I Am called "The Whole World Is Ghetto" that was never heard. These are just a FEW examples of work that was done that was never released that could make up the basis for a second lost tapes.

Secondly, who are we to say that Nas picking his own favorite unreleased tracks to release officially would be " expecting the worse"? The man JUST dropped his most universally acclaimed, buzzed about album in YEARS and we losing faith now?:what: I think if he could put out an album as excellent as Life Is Good he can pick his own unreleased tracks for Lost Tapes 2 and it come out well. Nas knows the high regard that the first Lost Tapes has with fans, I doubt he'd just smoke a hash of weed, close his eyes and just start choosing shyt thats already widely available.

Sorry but even if life is good is great, just looking at what made the retail and what made the bonus should convince you that Nas can't pick the goods tracks when it comes to close an album. It's not a coincidence that illmatic who is Nas' best sequenced album is not excecuted produced by him. I trust him in making good music, but when it comes to make side musical decison, well he should leave that to others

and thoses songs you talk about are even not finish or not mixed or whatever, if they are complete, believe that they would have been in the internet a long time ago
