This should be dope. Any release date?

[1nce was blind]

It's about time Nas damn been waiting on this release for so long. I wonder how different the tracklist will be as compared to what most fans thought would make the cut back when the first mention of the album surfaced? He better drop some never before released tracks as well as some remastered versions of songs that have been out for so long already.

[Chamillitary Click]

Cannnnnnot wait. First Lost Tape is a classic.

True. I wish this had some older songs on it too though. Lookin' at the tracklist, it seems that this is newer material.

Ya he's got a lot of old songs we still need in cdq.

Exactly.

Glad to see that the release date isn't very far away. Seeing the tracklist took my anticipation down a notch tho. I was hoping for some older material as well.
Would've been nice to get a few of the older gems in CDQ. Production lineup looks decent but seeing Swizz Beatz doing 3 tracks, RZA doing 2 (he hasn't been as impressive to me lately as he was in his younger years), & Pharrell on 1 track doesn't make me think that this has the potential to be on par with Lost Tapes 1 which I rank as 1 of Nas' best albums. Surprised to see 2 Pete Rock joints on here & that Alchemist track should be dope. As far as familiarity goes I only recognize the song names "Who Are You?" (pretty good song) & "You Mean The World To Me" (sounds dope but the sequencing of the version that was released seemed off) which I really liked.

On a side note I wish they would've kept the original version of "No Idea's Original" on The Lost Tapes rather than the Barry White sampled version but they may have changed it due to sample clearing issues so who knows

first single is being shitted on bad

[doggfather]
