Nas | The Lost Tapes | Vinyl 2 LP | Hip Hop | Rap

Eines der weniger „kommerziellen“ Alben von Nas, welchem man noch das Prädikat „real“ aufdrücken könnte 👌 Mein persönlicher Favorit „My Way“ 🖤

For three years, mixtape DJs and bootleggers circulated the original version of I Am… and fans lamented the album that it could have been with songs like “Blaze a 50” and “Drunk by Myself.” The Lost Tapes, which featured those songs as well as outtakes from Stillmatic, was then received as a cult classic, a no-frills collection of personal songs like “My Way” and “Poppa Was A Playa” without any of the commercial concessions that had compromised Nas’s proper albums since It Was Written. Many rock bands have rarities compilations that stand among their best albums, but Nas is just about the only rapper with one. “On this official set of once-shelved tunes, the prolific MC is at his most introspective,” Craig Seymour wrote in the Entertainment Weekly review.
