That bootleg bullshit fucked up Nas discography... we would've never got a Nastradamus or Owe Me Back

Could've been 3 straight top notch albums by Nas. The finished version of I am was solid but it's not what it could've been.
 
Its certaintly a side project because nothing was recorded specifically for it. It was essentially throwaways. In today's parlance it would be a mixtape.

And yes its the GOAT side project.

Nah I think everything worked out for the better.

I was living in New York when the I Am bootleg dropped. We used to bump We Will Survive and then rewind it and bump it again. It was the spring of 1999. Ja Rule, Jay Z and DMX might have had Hot 97 on lock, but Nas was destroying the mixtape game. He had the I Am bootleg, the I Am album, the Death of Escobar mixtape and then Nastradamus. People who were really into rap and not just top 40 rap all agreed that Nas was the illest MC out at that time (1999).

There's no way you could listen to the Death of Escobar mixtape (which was basically Lost Tapes) and say that Jay Z, Ja Rule or DMX were better MCs. They may have had more hits on the radio but as far as MC skills, Nas was head and shoulders above his competition. Jay Z should have had his head examined for stepping to Nas.

I was 14 living in NC in 1999. Would've been hella difficult for me to hear them mixtapes back then. Doesn't mean i wasn't in to "real rap" Just means I could only listen to what I could get my hands on... which goes back to my statement, "we prob wouldn't have got a Nastradamus"

You obviously disagree with the thread, so what side projects/album(s) do you think is better than Lost Tapes?

I respect that. And plenty people on here don't like Nas like that. They respect him and his legacy. Maybe that bothers you.
