Nas can't outsell Jay Z by himself, but with my help there's nothing the little homey can't do.
NaS Lost rose to the top of the Amazon charts in its category pretty much as it was released yesterday and has remained there ever since. Hopefully, it'll remain there permanently, because that'll save me from having to have any ambition in life ever again.
It's also still the number one music book (not just rap music, mind you) in the iTunes store.
Short description
NaS Lost is the Nas book only Byron Crawford could write, and not just due to literacy issues in the hip-hop community. Billed as a tribute to the little homey, it is in fact a tribute, but not in the way that an article in XXL magazine is a tribute to a rapper. NaS Lost considers the artist's career in its totality, from its amazing highs to its crushing lows -- and some of everything in between.
