Nas

The Lost Tapes

Nas surpasses Jay-Z as the King of rap

Review Score:

(10/10)
After the Stillmatic bomb, Nas decides that he isn't finished and released The Lost Tapes, which made him even hotter as the big debate between the best rapper in the game Nas vs. Jay-Z was becoming more of a one sided win. Nas brought out unreleased and unheard of albums that haven't been heard and were recorded on various rap projects he had from other releases. The question I have to ask is why he didn't come out with this CD earlier. My favorite song is No Ideas Original and Purple, which are hood political songs. Then Doo Rags, Blaze a 50, Everybody's Crazy, and Black Zombie gives us some moments of the original Illmatic and that Nas still has some fire left in that soul of his. Poppa Was A Player, My Way, and V Gotta Love it was the Nas of the modern day era. Nothing Lasts Forever is more of a motavational song to all those who have nothing in life and to keep their head up. I really was feeling that song. The new king almost was on the Ice Cube, 2Pac, and Notorious B.I.G level but missed it by only half of a mic. The soucre gave it 4 1/2 mics. This a classic and it seems that Nas is back and my last review on the most disappointing rapper of all-time may just pull the comeback of the rap game to the top again since Scarface.
