    I doubt anything else was made in the Nasir sessons. The Rza and Swizz tracks are probably fairly recent as he was working with them for a new album.

    Hip-Hop Is Dead Era underrated so that's pretty promising if it has loosies from that time period.

    It's weird, not great but it has its charm. Lost Tapes is as good as any place for an oddity like this.

    Time to rank Nas albums before LT2:

    Illmatic
    Life Is Good
    Stillmatic
    The Lost Tapes
    God's Son
    Hip Hop Is Dead
    Untitled
    It Was Written
    Streets Disciple
    I Am

    d---. People didn't like Jarreau of Rap? Jeez. Just use bangin' a--- beats, Nas. People are feeble-minded as f---. As @henzINNIT already stated, there's a certain charm to its novelty. I like how brave he was for trying something actually different. But yes, I hope that's as experimental as he gets on it. You hatin' a--- n----s.

    Pretty sure some of these come from the album that never released in 2017 when he made Nas Album Done. If he had an album done it’s tracks are here. Nasir was made in wyoming 2018.

    I saw all the hate for “Jarreau of Rap” so went into listening to it with low expectations and I enjoyed it a lot. Definitely different but has a real good vibe, great flow, nice lyrics, and creative structure and sound.

    I don’t think the rest of the album will have that sound but I appreciate him trying different things.

    The era the songs this album comes from isn’t my fav time period for Nas, but the producers on this album weren’t on his previous albums too much so his sound could be good on this.

    Hope he has at least 2 great songs on this

    I love it,

    Sloppy, in-edited review

    1. Was excited w swizz beat - but not the sound I want from nas, doesn’t sound like a vet, lyrics are solid 3.75/5


    Vernon Family - dopeness, love the beat, the energy, and second verse sounds like a new nas - 4.5/5


    Jarreau of rap - love it 4.5/5


    Lost freestyle - nice beat, decent lyrics, ok 3/5


    Track 5 is fire


    Royalty - nice beat, second verse is amazing


    Who are you - good song


    Adult film - weak, cool hook, good message just different


    Art of it = dope


    Highly favored - good s---


    Queens wolf - weird starts, not bad, thirst verse


    It never ends - love it


    You mean the world to me - fire

    It's good, but I don't feel like I'm gonna revisit this one after a couple listens. Id probably throw the ranking in now.
