nas - lost tapes
« on: September 20, 2002, 08:47:44 AM »
How come there aren't any posts on this album, normally a new album comes out and everybody calls it "best album of the year". Now there finally is an album that good and no word is spoken. I picked it up today and it's great........... better than stillmatic to me

Just curious. The guys that already got it, how does it compare to his other albums. Is it as good as Stillmatic or below?

I am definitely picking this up Tues, no doubt, and yes this is a classic album. I have the Nastradamus bootleg so I have heard some of these songs already and they are all classics by far

Will this be Nas's last great album, after all he has signed to Murder INC. ??? ??? ???

But let's give Nas the benefit of the doubt for a moment shall we. Forgetting all of Jay-Z's "one hot album every ten year average" posturing, Nas was the first artist to really suffer from bootleggers and Internet predators. While rumors of a double-CD abounded during the I Am time frame, the mass-bootlegging of this material compounded with the release of I Am and Nastradamus in a whirlwind seven-month period. But the blame for this does not fall in Nas' lap. In truth, the music industry as a whole was so unprepared for this new file swapping medium that Columbia panicked and urged Nas to go back into the studio. The result was the Escobar persona that played into the flossy trend that Jigga, B.I.G., and Puffy had ushered in. And if those early advance copies of I Am had not been leaked, we would have seen a very different version of Nastradamus then the debacle that was actually released to the masses.

From hiphopsite.com - Lost Tapes review



This is so true, I never heard the bootleg back then, but I remember how I Am was originally a double album and got seriously delayed.  Murda Muzik was coming out around the same time and that got bootlegged just as bad and fucked up that release date. Songs got cut from that album cause of this too.

P.S.  Mobb Deep can make a serious "Lost Tapes" album
