On one hand...it's not an album because it is in fact a collection of unreleased songs and Nas didn't even really put it out.

On the other hand...if I'm recommending someone some dope music to check out, or even some dope 'albums' to check out from say, that year, or in Nas' catalogue, I have to mention it because it has some of the best songs on there period.

Plus, it's impossible to 'not' have a sequence lol
