The World Is Yours IMO, it's the PERFECT rap song

I'm convinced Nas has a song for every situation in life. That takes tremendous skill to execute a variety of topics like he does.

Doo Rags and Drunk By Myself are in my top 10-15 Nas songs. That being said. All I Need and Never Change are in the same boat for Jay Z. Tuff.

its like asking Henny (lost tapes) or OE( blueprint), you should always want the finer things in life like a nice henny on the rocks, but sometimes you just want to get stupid with a 40...

I don't agree with what you said. Lost Tapes isn't Henny to me. It's more along the lines of Old E. Blueprint had more precision with the production & it was an actual album. Lost Tapes was some extra shit that didn't make any of Esco's albums which makes it the bottom of the barrel (aka Old E). I loved Old E when I was 16, but you do realize it's called Lost Tapes for a reason. It's extra shit & it's dope so don't get it twisted about how I feel about it. It's just hitting you from all over. You can tell it's not an album...just some banging tracks thrown together.

I respect your opinion, but we're comparing two albums. To me, Blueprint was better. It's not a knock on Nas. I just mess with it more than Lost Tapes, but I like both. Also, why you worried about another man's lips. The name calling is lame. You talk shit about the man, but I'm sure he has access to better chicks than either one of us can get to. I'm not sure how you get down because I do mess with some bad chicks, but dude is on another level compared to me so I know he has access to better chicks than I do.

um i guess that my avatar doesnt make it clear that im a girl and i dont mess with chicks. but who you fuck has nothing to do with how good your music is. i have lots of respect for what you say, and i dont think the blueprint is the worst album going, im just saying...

Lost Tapes is definitely better than Blueprint. "Purple", "Doo Rags", "U Gotta Love It", "My Way", "Nothing Lasts Forever", "Black Zombies", "Fetus", "No Idea's Original" and "Drunk By Myself" are better than "You Don't Know", "Heart of the City", "Never Change", "Girls, Girls, Girls", "Renegade", "Izzo", "Takeover", "Lyrical Exercise" and "Song Cry". Those were my favorite songs from both albums. I'd even say the production on the albums are about even. Aside from "Everybody's Crazy" and "Fetus" just being a bonus, Lost Tapes is nearly flawless.

Blueprint is a classic album that changed Hip Hop, but it's inferior to Lost Tapes, song for song even if by a slight margin.

To me, Lost Tapes plays like an album even though it has songs that were meant for two different albums. The theme is mainly autobiographical and reminsicing on the past. The vibe of Lost Tapes also gives off that reminiscent, memory lane type feel. IMO, Lost Tapes is Nas's most thematically sound album even though it has songs on it from two different albums. I guarantee that if Nas slapped a proper title on Lost Tapes and people didn't know that some of the songs were meant for other albums, people wouldn't think of it as a compilation.

Unlike Stillmatic, there aint one weak track on The Lost Tapes. I can listen to this album without skipping any songs. With The Blueprint I always skip Jigga That Nigga & Hola Hovito.

Lost Tapes >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Blueprint.

Lost Tapes wins... NO GUEST APPEARANCES
