Title: what would you rate Nas's "Lost Tapes" album?
Post by: $do11a biLL$ on January 29, 2006, 07:05:22 PM: I just got done listening to this whole cd and if it were an actual album and it was all new the time it was released i would've easily given it a 5/5 rating and it would be his #2 album right behind Illmatic. Every track had excellent lyrics and the right production to go with it. What do you guys think of it?

It's definitely superior to the average hip-hop album. The album is also better than his "I Am" album or his "Nastradamous" album. It's dope how the album has no guest appearances, and the beats are simple, so you can really get up close and personal with the lyrics. Very solid album, but still I'd only give it a 3.5/5.

4/5 or something. On par with the rest of Nas' catalogue, but not superior.

Post by: jeromechickenbone on January 30, 2006, 10:29:18 AM: There are some great tracks on there - My Way, Black Zombies, Purple, Drunk by Myself, Poppa Was a Player. Fetus was a dope concept song, and it came off well, too. I wouldn't call it classic, but a very solid album and worth buying.

Post by: Twentytwofifty on January 30, 2006, 11:01:19 AM: There is nothing I would change about that album. Every song is good, it's the right lenght, no guests, no skits...it's a very nice album.
