The Lost Tapes: Original Samples

While recompiling the Nastradamus set we posted yesterday, I decided to throw together this other short set from Nas‘ The Lost Tapes.

Released shortly following his fifth studio album, Stillmatic in 2002, The Lost Tapes was a compilation of Nas‘ previously unreleased tracks. Some from the bootlegged second disc of the original double album version of I Am. The other tracks were underground singles and tracks recorded during the Stillmatic sessions. Enjoy the samples!
