There are a lot of unreleased songs that never made an artist Album Collection. It's a shame b/c there are some good songs that would have sounded great on several of the top MC's albums. For example, Jay-Z's tracks "Wishing on A Star", "Only A Customer" (yeah it was on soundtrack), "Marcy to Hollywood" & "Early This Morning/Addicted to the Game" were are good songs. Jay-Z and so many other artist could take a page out of Nas book and just do a Lost Tapes for their core fans. Why leave them on the internet? If your like me, I like going to the record store and buying the CD, opening the package, reading the credits and things of that nature while I'm listing to the music. Artist that I would love to see Lost Tapes materials :
1. Jay-Z 2. LL Cool J (that New York Gangsta song is legendary) 3. Tribe Called Quest (I know Q-tip holding some) 4. The Roots (I know Questlove holding some..lol) 5. Dr. Dre....we probably havent even heard some of his best work.
What about you? Any particular artist? Have you made your own "fake lost tapes of artist like me..lol"
peace
