    What the ? ?..

    Lost Tapes isn't even a full fledged LP.. it's a compilation album composed of tracks from Nas' I Am... sessions..

    Lost Tapes could be argued as an album. Many artists release albums that contain previously unreleased songs intended for other albums. For example, two songs from Hip Hop Is Dead were mentioned in reviews for Street's Disciple. Lost Tapes also had new songs like "Nothing Lasts Forever", "My Way" and the alternate version of "No Idea's Original". Then there's relatively new material from the Stillmatic sessions like "Everybody's Crazy", "Black Zombies", and "Purple". "Doo Rags" was from like 2000-2001. The rest of the songs were from the scrapped double disc version of I Am...

    As it stands, Lost Tapes and Blueprint are standouts in both artist's catalogs. Comparing them side by side is difficult. IMO, Lost Tapes is slightly better on the strength that there's only really one sub-par song ("Everybody's Crazy") where Blueprint has "Jigga That ? " and "Hola Hovito".

    That ? sold the ? for a regular album price so it's a regular album. Lots of albums contain previously unreleased material. Nas was just more forthcoming about it when it came to that album.

    I know.. but this is like comparing Best of Both Worlds to Stillmatic.. or ? at Will vs Mecca and the Soul Brother..

    I match albums against each other regularly, but at least I match the same type of albums against each other..

    And I love The Lost Tapes too..

    Lost Tapes might be dope, but it's still an album of leftovers.

    We gonna compare "All Eyez On Me" to "Duets: The Final Chapter" next?

    My Way..


    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8aLQlNDxMBw

    [Verse 3]

    Yo, hoes in my focus slow me, rolled with the brokest homies
    Cold and we hopeless lonelies, scolding my foes who phony
    From blocks where coke can feed you and cops are over evil
    They know some people who tell on felons who sold some diesil
    Heroine and blow it ruins minds, knew a crew one time
    '89, they took work to Carolina and blew big time
    In just two years, their crew disappear
    Snitches and ? , smeared the paint on their pictures
    Years back, I reminisce and remember, sitting on wood benches
    Gave me splinters, just a baby ? thankful
    When them killers came through, guns out, moving
    I thank the ones who said shorty go home, we about to be shooting..

    This Jay-Z vs. Nas debate is getting too repetitive and not advancing any argument towards anything.

    Step yo thread games up, ? .

    I made this .gif just for the IC, b/c this is exactly what it is:

    The fact that its a compilation of a few years worth of music, its not fair to compare it to other albums that had deadlines, time contraints, etc.

    But if Lost Tapes WAS an album, it would be one of the 2 or 3 greatest hip hop albums in history.
