"The Lost Tapes is widely regarded as one of Nas' most important albums showcasing his raw lyrical talent and creative genius. Originally released in 2002, The Lost Tapes contains unused tracks from both the I Am... and Stillmatic sessions. Recorded with very sparse sounds and observational lyrics, the 2-LP set offers a bit more insight to urban life and is a departure from the heavier content from his previous releases. This compilation features such stand out tracks as 'Doo Rags,' 'U Gotta Love It,' and 'My Way' among others. The newly remastered 2LP set features all the original tracks from 2002’s original release pressed on premium quality colored vinyl with full-color labels featuring classic Nas artwork. Whether you're a die-hard Nas fan or a lover of classic hip-hop, The Lost Tapes is an essential addition to your collection." - Get On Down
