I Am…The Autobiography 2023 Album

Nas

This is a compilation of some tracks that were intended for the double album from Nas titled, 'I Am… The Autobiography', that ended up on 'I Am', Nastradamus' and 'The Lost Tapes' with a couple of others thrown in, but there's no way this is better than the released 'I Am...' It's missing the best from that underappreciated album like: 'Nas Is Like', 'Undying Love', 'Favor for a Favor', 'Hate Me Now', 'N.Y. State Of Mind II'...I could go on. But it keeps weaker songs like 'Money Is My Bitch' and 'Dr. Knockboot'. I've never loved 'Project Window' or 'Poppa Was a Playa'. 'Day Dreamin' Stay Schemin'' is a weak song by Nas' standards mainly due to the hook. It would've been amazing if Nas and the label could've worked together to come up with the double disc release of what 'I Am… The Autobiography' was originally going to look like before the leaks but as one disc it just feels incomplete and like another tease. Best Tracks: Fetus, Small World, Sometimes I Wonder, Drunk by Myself, Blaze a 50
