The Lost Tapes

flawless

Review Score:

(10/10)
this album is the epitome of 'realness'- i have never witnessed such honesty and emotion in an album since illmatic, low end theory, j-live etc. heres the story on each of the songs.

1. Doo Rags- without a doubt best song on the album. raises some really good issues and gets you thinking about lots of different things- 10/10

2. My Way- this song is aiight, neva REALLY felt it tho. honest howeva- 7/10

3. U Gotta Love It- OK, not my fave, a bit shallow at times, still better than average- 7/10

4. Nothing Lasts Forever- like this one, real to the extream, shows as who NAS really is- 9/10

5. No Ideas Original- Nas restores his braggin writes in this song. good beat, better lyrics. love it- 10/10

6. Blaze a 50- A great story, some will love it, some not. i reckon its off tha hook- 9.5/10

7. Everybody's Crazy- not a stand out track, worth the listen tho, just not attention grabbing- 7.5/10

8. Purple- Awesome, amazing lyrics, im really feeling this one at the moment- 10/10

9. Drunk By Myself- brutally honest, nice beat, nice lyrics, anotheer classic- 10/10

10. Black Zombie- Probs the 2nd best song on the album, very socially consious track- 10/10

11. Poppa Was A Playa- a song bout his father, great to listen to- 10/10

12. Fetus- This track troubles me- personally i luv it, i reckon it is conceptually brilliant- but it is rather shallow and is just nas braggin bout himself all the way thru- so i dont know whether to give it 10/10 or 5/10- u make up ur mind..

Cop this album- you wont be disappointed.
