Was Nas on that Lance Armstrong when he wrote No Ideas Original?

[TrapHouse Rock]

Nas is something else. MF Grimm is the only cat I ever heard that even came close to the lyrical deepness...
I see why they were friends at one point (he was at the illmatic release party) if you listen to both they think a lot alike.

 

[Braman]

Lost tapes best hip hop album of all time

 

[tuckgod]

Uh…. Uh…..

 

[Controversy]

I’ve been having this on repeat since Future/Kendrick “Like That” dropped with the same sample and dammit this might be one of Nas most impressive mic performances in his career. Imagine if this was on stillmatic? I mean does Kendrick have one of these in his catalog ?

Fck no, he doesn't

That's why any list that has him all time over Esco is straight BS

We coincide, we in the same life, maybe a time difference
On a different coast, but we share the same sunlight
Your part of the world might be like colors and gangs
While on my side, brothers'll murder for different things
But it all revolve around drugs, fame and shorties
Stuck for your bling, stripped for your chain, the same story
From, Czechoslovakia to Texas metropolis
Them treacherous rastas in the Mexican mafias
Be scrappin' with tats on they back, violent wars
Nothin' less than a lethal injection if ever caught
Courtrooms, eagles and flags, American style
While in our world, the ghetto stays incredibly foul
Watchin' for paint chips, don't want no lead in yo' child
But them gangstas put lead in yo' child, the bezzy be out
The chain be like a hundred K
Shinin' since Roxanne Shante' made Runaway; that's been a minute
Genesis is deep, my features are that of a God
It's not a facade it's a fact, these rappers wanna be Nas
My Exodus doesn't exist, I'll never leave the streets, it's all in my mind
Even with sleep I'm duckin' nines in my dreams
Si-rens, wide awake, why'd I think it would change
Can't hide when you famous or even try to do the same things
Like, somebody's always watchin'
My life before I, walk out the door I size up every option
Eyes cut every direction, it's like God or guns
Which is better protection? Can't decide, that's a hard one
I mean they wanna see me in prison, the chains bamboozled
Headline readin' "Rapper Slain From a Man Shootin'"

 

[Gifted one]

I want to smoke whatever Nas was smoking on when he made this classic

This not being on an official release , virtually unheard by most casual hip hop heads should be a federal crime.

Testimony crazy Prosecution exhibit A

The Lost Tapes being one of his lowest streamed albums is . Top 3 Nas album. I get it doesn't have superstar features wasn't promoted but still . If you ask me to describe Nas the MC Lost Tapes is perfect example of it. Vivid Imagery( Will death My Way 2nd verse) Storytelling Blaze a 50 Poppa Was Playa, Social Commentary Black Zombies, Concepts Fetus, Great MCing No Ideas Original. It's all there flawless album
