You Mean The World To Me

My overall view is a little lower than the initial excitement but I still love the album. Not better than Untitled and Life Is Good because those were very cohesive projects that I think highly of as some of his best work ever, but it is a great compilation album. Production is out of this world for Nas, old school yet more depth than most people realize.

I maintain he is completely in his element and more comfortable on an album than he’s been since Gods Son or HHID

This was fantastic and much needed for hip hop imo.

I really enjoyed Hip Hop is Dead era Nas. He wasn’t afraid to be experimental and you can hear the jazz influence.

I’m also low key glad the Kelis situation was addressed here.

only one listen in but I'm really enjoying this. Clearly a bunch of leftovers from the 00s and not touching the first Lost Tapes but so good to hear some new Nasir

Its weird because the production wasn’t necessarily the problem on Nasir. Then again I liked Nasir. It just didn’t invigorate him enough. His delivery on LT2 is far superior. Way more explorative. More risks. I know it’s a compilation, but he is straight up in his element

I’m in regardless, but do we know when these songs were made? Are they unreleased songs from his GOAT era like the first Lost Tapes, or is he pulling a Ghostface and calling an album of new material Lost Tapes for some reason? ‘Cause I’m definitely more in for the former
