Hands down imo...

Could have been a classic Nas album...

Jay-Z should get props for his Unplugged joint, Jay backed by The Roots...

but there was nothing new or unreleased on that...

Lauren Hill too Unplugged is great...

 

[TheGOAT]

I guess the better question is what is the 2nd best side project

While Nas is great. I think this is undisputed because of a lack of sample size. Lost tapes won't drop in quality because more people dropped em. I just think crowning lost tapes the best won't be so unanimous. Imagine if Jay just randomly dropped a tape with shit we never heard, it would shut the internet down.

alright, an example. but what makes a side project a side project? Because everybody dropping regular ass albums in this thread.

 

[CeLLaR-DooR]

Lost Tapes better than most Nas' album. Beat selection on smash, unlike most his stuff post IWW and before Hip Hop is Dead

How is Lost Tapes a side project?

An album filled with songs that were leaked back in 1998/early 1999 that ended up getting left off the I am album and songs that got left off Stillmatic. It isn't apart of Nas' main discography.

It could be a collaboration between a bunch of emcees (Gravediggaz, The Firm) a live album (Unplugged) or a compilation album (Violator, Diplomatic Immunity)
