What if I Am Nastradamus didn't leaked and do you think this album would be better than Life After Death and All Eyez On Me?.....Just thinking about it.

Did you hear Nastradamas it was just fillere on top of filler with some subpar singles
-
It would've easily been better than All Eyez on Me that's for damn sure...
if ? want to talk about fillers, AEOM is loaded with them -
Shoot Em Up was dope.
and whatta you mean if it didnt leak? didnt these albums come out in the mid-late 90's? was it heavily bootlegged or something? -
I Am was supposed to be double album but ? got leaked so that's why he had to change the title cause it was supposed to be "I Am..Nastardamus" for double albums. I Am tape>>>>I Am CD but too many songs got leaked. ? is ? up...imagine if that ? didn't get leaked....this will be one of the greatest Nas' double cds of all time.

wouldnt be better than LAD
-
In my eyes its better than both
-
Nastradamus gets unwarrented hate. Most mfs say da album was wack cuz da next mf said it was without having their own opinion on it. Da reason it got so many bad reviews when it came out is because it was more of a thinking album rather than something u ride to. It only had 2 or 3 fillers.
-
i added nastradamus to my ipod the other week, i added 8 of the songs then threw the rest away, its not as bad as people say it is still not up to standard tho.
-
Nastradamus and I AM are probably Nas weakest albums, i don't know if anything classic would of come from that era.

aside from a few horrible songs, 99 was nas' best year in my opinion, between songs that made those albums and the unreleased -

Blame the engineers and the execs Sony Music for ? this dream album up. I Am Nastradamus press kits were coming in stores early as the summer of 1997. They even marketed Escobar 97 as a "choice cut from Nas upcoming double album coming Mar 14 1998". My cousin once told me that when they were upgrading sony studios they were just throwing equipment and tape out in the dumpster. He scored him a Tascam deck and some 2 inch reels. i guess the engineers were pressed on exploting digital recording and mp3 format of music because everyone of their rap releases from 98-2001 got heavily bootleged before the artist could master these songs from the reel. I saw songs from I Am on mixtapes like after thankgiving 1997 for certain. Lazy K-Fall 97, Cutmaster C birthday pt1 and pt2. DJ Clue Boxing 97, DJ S&S 98 Heat, DJ Fantasy-Spring 1998 pt. 2, ? Harry. Both I Am and Nastradamus leaked all of their songs by the summer of 1998 on Napster and the mixtapes. Nas recorded a few new songs for the album and repackaged it as what we know as the I Am and Nastradamus album. The same ? happened to Mobb Deep, Ghostface, Raekwon and Will Smith during this time period. Raekwon Blood On Chef Apron leaked in 98. 100 songs just gone in cyber space like that. Murda Muzik the alltime most bootlegged album. You can make 4 different murda muzik albums from all the songs that got leaked from the Mobb. Supreme Clientele is nothing like the album that you know now. So many lost songs from the OG version of SC it makes me cry. Maybe one day ghost will put out the masters and let us hear it like it was intended. OG version of Mighty Healthy ? all over the SC version of Mighty Healthy.

thats his best period lyrically. 99 was his best period as an artist, excluding 5 or 6 trash songs but he made a lot of dope ones that didn't make the original cut, 5 or 6 ending up on the lost tapes, a lot still never released. -

If I Am..Nastradamus would've dropped as the OG double album then I think deathrowzorrow would pop a damn ? on the cashier at the best buy or wherever he cops his music. poor dude....the cashier

So if it didnt leak it would of ranked neck n neck with all eyez on me as the waccest hip hop double album of all time
you don't know what you're talking about. the original, not the songs that made the albums. -
i am is dope af idk what ppl are talking about

If the original I am... Nastradamus double album dropped, Nas wouldn't have a weak album...
Illmatic
It Was Written
I am... Nastradamus
Stillmatic
? Son
-No Lost Tapes (because of no bootleg...)
Street's Disciple would've been one disk... It was only two because Nas wanted to drop a double album- had "I am" been a double album, he wouldn't have done it again IMO...
Hip Hop is Dead
Untitled
GOAT Rap Catalog ever.
ON THE OTHER HAND...
Had he not been bootlegged, we don't know what Nas' follow ups would have sounded like... I'm almost positive the beef with Jay would not have happened, and Nas probably would have never felt a need to name his fourth album Stillmatic and come as hard as he did on that album... What we're talking about is completely altering history here... -

Thats e40 type ratios b thats 40 songs and 7 tolerable traccs.Nasir was about to drop a double album dud deluxe weed plate for the new millennium before it got bootlegged
doo rags is a stillmatic session. nastradamus the song, was one of the new songs he made for the album.
fetus, you gotta love it, project windows original, poppa was a playa, rise and fall, ? by myself, sometimes i wonder, find your wealth, blaze a 50, tales of the hood, amongst kings, blackness, etc,
and as you said plus the songs that made the albums. ny2, small world, favor for a favor, we will survive, hate me now, ghetto prisoners, nas is like, undying love, the life we chose, last words, some of us have angels, new world
easily his best year overall.
