Anyone who knows the history of the leaks and bootlegging surrounding this album, with its original tracklist was set to be one of the greatest double albums in Rap history alongside the pantheon of All Eyes on Me and Life After Death. I'm already expecting some fans will be debating which songs should have been included/omitted. Everyone I know whose had the bootegged versions of this album was not dissapointed. This album has some of Nasir Jones' greatest songs.

Before Nipsey Hussle passed, he was trying to convince Nas to allow him to do a documentary on this album and re-release a version with the original tracklisting. It's finally coming November. Nas been winning all year long during this HipHip50.

Revisiting the 1999 released version.

If that's the tracklist, that's only 13 tracks, with maybe 3 being unreleased from Side C. That's not even a double album. You're absolutely right bruh this ain't the "Real OG I Am." Hopefully we get some clarification from Nas himself, otherwise this remains mythical like Detox.

Dr. Knockboot is one of Nas worst songs, imo. Replace that shit with something from the Lost Tapes 😂

Blaze a 50 and the OG version of Project Windows please.

I think I had the bootleg version with the leaked songs and such. I Am was....not the album it could have been.
