Irony... the word 'LOST' seems to be associated with dude these days and its cause his private life is in the open SMH
I listened to 'Tapes last night with a blunt and its one of those records you listen to once in a while...
No guest appearances and one of the most illest displays of LYRICISM you'll ever hear on an a disc (it's an EP)
It's hard to choose, 'cause they're all gems on the disc... but my fave is 'U Gotta Love It'... that song gives me the chills anytime I listen to it...

Second fave... wonder why Kanye didn't get the production credits for that song -
du rags
purple -
his second verse on Purple is one of my favorite verses of all time
Everything you went to is underworld related
You sell your man out, not even your girl is sacred
You don't trust a soul, hold up, you moldin soldiers
to pull guns quick and always look behind the shoulder
Think of how many dudes died tryin to be down with you
Everybody's under six feet of ground but you
Still standin, still roamin through the streets, that's real
You a survivor, knowin all the beef is ill
You got a bunch of thugs witchu even now that's ready
Trustin your judgment, quick to put it down, they deadly
The hood love you but behind your back they pray for the day
A bullet hit your heart and ambulances take you away
That ain't love it's hate, think of all the mothers at wakes
whose sons you killed, and you ain't got a cut on your face?
Unmarked police cars roam the streets hard, the heat is ?
Somebody tell these shorties reach for the stars
Instead they tell 'em how to reach through the bars, holdin a mirror
Lookin down a tear in jail, makin weapons to ? ya
We smoke three tokes ? pour more Henny
He sighs with eyes that seen a war too many
Cold-blooded murderers, universal
Hood to hood, blowin smoke, state of mind is purple
verse still gives me chills -
lost tapes is better than alot of nas' albums
-
"I don't like the way P. Diddy did Shyne with different lawyers..."

It wasn't an EP. It was longer than iLLmatic lol. But I feels, I was wondering why no one mentioned this, ever. I'm gonna relisten and come back with an answer. Doo Rags and Purple were always my ish though. -
? by myself...

Fetus...hands down..I 've never heard a emcee paint such imagery with his lyrics..This is what seperates nas from his peers..his uncanny ability to create ill concepts in song form..I gave you power,rewind,money is my ? ,who killed it,fried chicken,project roach etc...are other examples of his gift
