Nas Announces Release of The Lost Tapes Volume 2

Queensbridge emcee Nas decided that he’s going to bless fans with another compilation album to follow up his 2002 release of The Lost Tapes.

The Lost Tapes Volume 2 is slated to drop December 14, 2010.

News of the release was initially confirmed via MTV’s Shaheem Reid (@ShaheemReid) on Twitter. Nas later verified it on Twitter (@Nas).

Tracks like “Durags”, “Purple” “Drunk By Myself” and “Poppa Was a Playa” (which we discovered later was ghost-produced by Kanye West) were some of my favorite tracks from the 2002 release of The Lost Tapes. I can’t wait to see what he will come up with next.

The last project released since his divorce with Kelis in 2009 was Distant Relatives with Damian Marley, which dropped May 2010 on Universal/Def Jam.

Due to Nasir’s recent candor, VIBE. decided to break out a couple yearbooks for a look at who’s proving the educational system wrong and who graduated Magnum cum-laude. Don’t judge a book by its rapper
