Nas Announces The Lost Tapes Vol. 2

[Khalistani Soldier]

Eight years after Nas dropped his classic collection of unreleased music, he announced via his Twitter account today that he’s working on a sequel. Nasty!


Shortly after Nas announced the release of his Lost Tapes Vol. 2, he responded to the 1515 Boys and revealed that the compilation will be released on December 14th.

“I’m unloading records I want the streets to hear,” the Queens rapper said in an e-mail. “Cleaning out my hard drives. Gonna do this, then start fresh. I’m dropping my solo LP before the summer of 2011. I love the energy the world has been giving me over the last two years. But now it’s time to focus on owning the streets again.”


Gonna be hype...Nas is one of the greatest, and if he comes out with the raw, nasty Nas style like he did for the Last Real Pt.2 then his solo LP could be a classic....as for Lost Tapes 2, only expecting some raw ill tracks.

I haven't bumped Lost Tapes since like '03. I downloaded it back up (again ) 'cause I was excited about Lost Tapes 2.

That is good news, I'll be honest.

I just listened to the Lost Tapes yesterday for the first time in like 3-4 years and forgot how much I loved it. It may be my third favorite Nasalbum. Good to see this coming out soon!

the last rap/hip hop album i bought was Nas's last one 2 years ago. really like that album. Nas is one of the greatest.

 

[tHuG $TyLe]

He is. But i seriously think hes so far off how good he used to be that i can't bare to listen to him.

 

[Bobby Sands]

^^you didnt like his last album?

i thought it was good. some nice tracks on there like Sly Fox and Black President.

 

[tHuG $TyLe]

Nope. Had no replay value for me. I used to love Nas. But everything after Gods Son I haven't really enjoyed.

 

[S O F I]

^Was gonna say the same. Sly Fox is a song with a good message but it has no replay value so I don't play it. Simple as that. That goes for most of the album too.

SD had some nice tracks for sure, I just don't think Nas could pull off a double album like he tried to. It was still enjoyable though. HHID also had some nice tracks, but the album as a whole was a little shakey. I listened to "Untitled" like twice total. So while I liked SD and HHID for what they were, I agree that God's Son was his last really solid album.

 

[tHuG $TyLe]

Yeah SD had some nice moments but for me Quan's track stole the show.

Lyrically, Nas is just as sharp as ever.
