I don't care what nobody says. The Lost Tapes IS an official studio album released under not just ILLWILL Records, but COLUMBIA records. Being in a contract with a record company, you have to release a certain of albums, in a certain amount of time, etc.

Just because you put songs on an album that you recorded years before, don't mean it's not an official album.

Great example ILLMATIC's (1994) track HALFTIME .. that was a record for a movie album or something like that (Zebra Head) in '92.. sooo..

Sooo what does that imply?

I made that thread not too long ago with lost tapes Vs. me against the world.

Maybe God's son Vs. Me against the world woulda been a better compassion....

I hate to tell people they're wrong on the internet because there's something condescending about that, but dude you're wrong, it is not an official studio album.

true.. but

Dance & Dear Mama

Last real nigga alive & Fuck the world

Carry the cross & if i die tonight

Hey Nas & Temptations

Revolutionary Warfare & Me Against the World

These are just 5 songs from both albums that could be compared and discussed instead of just voting on popularity.

Its hard to argue that God's son and Me Against the world not being their most emotional/heart felt albums

I never considered LT a compilation album..nor do I recall it being labeled as one...Now the QB Finest & 41st side projects are compilation albums. If we had no knowledge that it was unreleased/leftover tracks most of the people in here would consider it another lp.

Either way its a classic and I agree,I put it up there with other 90's classics as well.

Yeah but It's considered a compilation album though, that's facts it's not my opinion.

 
"Amid all of the drama, Nas managed to salvage his esteemed reputation and reclaim his lofty status atop the New York scene. Stillmatic earned immediate acclaim from fans and critics alike and sold impressively, while Columbia furthered the comeback campaign with two archival releases, one of remixes (From Illmatic to Stillmatic [2002]), the other of outtakes (The Lost Tapes [2002], which notably includes some of the pirated I Am material). Then at the end of the year Columbia released a new studio album, God's Son (2002), and Nas once again basked in widespread acclaim as the album sold well, spawned sizable hits ("Thugz Mansion," "Made You Look," "I Can"), and received rampant media support..."
