IMO lost tapes is superior and my 3rd favoite nas album ever after Ill and still

it's flawless poetry with amazing production an NO Bad song

I like IWW but I feel it's gotten overrated over time. Dope album but I'm not the biggest fan o Nas being Mafioso the whole time minus few exceptions. IWW has wackass street dreams and nas is coming while there's NO filler on The lost tapes.

I'd give lost tapes

5 mics

and IWW 4.25

    You have a good argument... being he went all solo on LT

    But I think IWW has a slight edge, for it SOLIDIFIED his place in hip hop legend

    I doubt LT2 will be as good as the first but I want it to drop.

    Lost Tapes is just pure Genius.

    Y'all just wanna deal with drama
    Talk about ? who got things, y'all ready to ? his momma
    Everything you went to is underworld related
    You sell your man out, not even your girl is sacred
    You don't trust a soul, hold up, you moldin soldiers
    to pull guns quick and always look behind the shoulder
    Think of how many dudes died tryin to be down with you
    Everybody's under six feet of ground but you
    Still standin, still roamin through the streets, that's real
    You a survivor, knowin all the beef is ill
    You got a bunch of thugs witchu even now that's ready
    Trustin your judgment, quick to put it down, they deadly
    The hood love you but behind your back they pray for the day
    A bullet hit your heart and ambulances take you away
    That ain't love it's hate, think of all the mothers at wakes
    whose sons you killed, and you ain't got a cut on your face?
    Unmarked police cars roam the streets hard, the heat is ?
    Somebody tell these shorties reach for the stars
    Instead they tell 'em how to reach through the bars, holdin a mirror
    Lookin down a tear in jail, makin weapons to ? ya
    We smoke three tokes ? pour more Henny
    He sighs with eyes that seen a war too many
    Cold-blooded murderers, universal
    Hood to hood, blowin smoke, state of mind is purple

    It Was Written is probably my favourite Nas album so I gotta go with that. Can't really knock either opinion though, both amazing pieces of work.

    Haven't listened to Lost Tapes in a while... I'ma give it a run through today and see what's up.
