Dec 6, 2022Simply bad. Nothing more, nothing less. Listened to this while working and it just encouraged my brain to go to sleep.
-
Dec 1, 2022One of the worst albums Nas ever released. awful lyrics and awful beats. huge L
-

-
Nov 20, 2022boring af, worst NY rapper of the last 20 years, nothing compared to the real goat J-Z
-
Aug 18, 2021Had 4 good song songs and alot of bad ones. Many of the tracks had lackluster beats that shouldve never been released with the worst being the jarreau of rap.
-
Aug 13, 2020Nas is the highest tier hiphop has conceived poetically. Though this is not as anticipated as the original, it contains many songs that are classic and attests to Nas having the greatest body of unreleased work. best album of 2019

Mar 8, 2020nas is a great example of 1 of them rappers that made 1 album people loved n then traded creativity for cockiness i really dont see why people would like this
-
Nov 18, 2019Man it’s an instant classic , i can listen to this album all day , nas in 2019 is still better than 90% of the mainstream artist
-
Aug 15, 2019The bars are what you expect from one of the greats. His style doesn’t age.
-
Jul 29, 2019Best Nas project in years. A huge step up from last year's "Nasir". Some incredible production and amazing lyrics. There are a couple skips, but not many. I think the critical consensus is incorrect
-
Jul 27, 2019Not a cohesive album , but still gives you what you want to hear which is Nas rapping at his best. It’s a good tour through various stages of Nas.
-
Jul 27, 2019Que se jodan los que critican mal x una compilación, nas is the GOAT, este álbum es mil veces mejor que NASIR
-
Jul 27, 2019Real Hip Hop..This is what Nas Fans have been waiting for..Amazing album..it's ridiculous how these so called professional critics are giving the album low ratings.

Jul 25, 2019Most of the critic review i have seen is just pathetic. I don't know whether to call it lazy reporting or bandwagon reporting. This album is fire from beats to flow everything is top notch. Best Nas album in a while.
-
Jul 25, 2019This album is incredible from top to bottom, it's Nas's best album ever to come out this year and it is way better than the album that Kanye West produced last year and also an amazing bounce back. Nas has delivered an immaculate project. definitely album of the year.
-
Jul 23, 2019Who knew that a sequel would be better than the original. The Lost Tapes 2 is one of the best compilation albums I have heard all year long. All the songs are perfect from start to finish, and the Beats are on fire. This album is worth a listen.
-
Jul 23, 2019Best work since Stillmatic. It's an album you gotta take your time to digest. Not for an impatient generation, it's one for those with "knowledge".

Jul 20, 2019Truly a return to glory. After the underwhelming album Nasir, Nas delivered a body of work that will make true fans of hip hop ecstatic. From War Against Love to Lost Freestyle, impeccable flow combined with worthy productions makes for a sure fire and sonically pleasing album. Not a classic, but definitely 4-4.5. mics worthy.
-
Jul 20, 2019Great project. I could deal without jarreau of rap but it was still a great album.
-
Jul 20, 2019Once again, Nas delivers knowledge, introspection and maturity throughout his bars, in an album that perfectly fits the social issues that are happening today, taking a trip down memory lane in his own life as well.
-
Jul 20, 2019I can easily say that this is a bounce back from the somewhat mediocre "Nasir", Nas picked some Great tracks where he is in his element
-
Jul 20, 2019Nas’s album is easily one of the best rap albums of the year. Tanasia, Queensbridge Politics, You Mean the World to Me, Vernon Family, Lost Freestyle, Beautiful Life, and Jarreau of Rap are particularly good. It’s not perfect and can be dated, but the production is mostly good, Nas’s lyrical displays are mostly impressive, and it’s a better project than Nasir. This is a solid B.
Awards & Rankings
-
Jul 29, 2019He can clearly still spit elite bars, at more or less the same rate he could over twenty years ago. “The Lost Tapes 2” may be marketed as a sequel, but it’s a selection of largely forgettable album cuts that didn’t make Nas’ last few albums.
-
Jul 29, 2019A secondary release in execution and intent, this is recommendable only to serious fans with a justifiably insatiable curiosity for what the artist creates.
-
Jul 24, 2019For much of the record, Nas sounds like he’s trying too hard.
