The setting of the boarded house makes the episode's atmosphere and scary tone even stronger and also gives off vibes from Resident Evil with the idea of zombies in the house. Lost Tapes is back in search of some of the scariest creatures you have heard of, and others you may not of. And I truly felt bad for the two when they lose a teammate in Tanner, who unfortunately becomes of the undead. Noel and Elsie are amazing leads and are shown to have the most chemistry and teamwork among each other which carries on to two other episodes of season 3, featuring the Enigma Corporation. The way they look human helps amplify the horror of them in how a person could easily see them as a human and are sent into a false sense of security before the zombies violently attack! This episode also serves as the debut of the first ever recurring characters in the whole series, The Enigma Corporation, with main members Noel Conner and Elise Mooney. The zombies in this episode are like a clever combination of the more modern flesh eating kind mixed with the voodoo type zombies, which were mindless slaves. But in practice, this episode is superb in how it handles the zombies and makes them terrifying.
When in concept, initially hearing about the third season premiere being about zombies, it at first sounds cheap and nothing to write home about. But the situation becomes more volatile and dangerous than expected, when it seems he is not alone! The team infiltrates the condemned Boarding House where he is said to be harbored at, in hopes of bringing the criminal to justice. The Enigma Corporation is assigned to bring in a man once thought to have recently died, who has suddenly appeared and involved in a vicious homicide in New Orleans. The most memorable songs here are “Poppa Was a Playa” (ghost-produced by a young Kanye West), and “U Gotta Love It,” a shimmering track that remains ambiguous even in its lyrical precision: “Preposterous foes, finicky foul niggas / See niggas and blacks, there goes a loud difference.Here we have the first of the last official season of Lost Tapes and in my opinion, the scariest season, Season 3. Its basically a show that uses found video tape footage to suggest that something exists and/or is not extinct. Nas relives his own birth in “Fetus,” and even if the song isn’t entirely successful, one has to respect the boldness of the concept and the expertise of the execution. Like last night, for example, when I flipped to Animal Planet at 2am, and found a new show: Lost Tapes. “Drunk By Myself” is a disturbing portrait of depression, while “Black Zombie” is a cutting denunciation of African-American ignorance and complacency. As usual, Nas refuses to go the easy route. The song is a fascinating example of Nas’ ability to pull back the layers of a given subject, burrowing past the superficial to unpack deeper implications. Jim Morrison The Lost Paris Tapes (And Extras) (Session Start, In That Year (false start) ). “Doo Rag” exemplifies Nas’ advanced writing techniques, as a nostalgic look at hip-hop’s early days shifts towards an examination of how street styles originate from prisons.
Composed primarily of songs that were cut from the original double-album version of 1999’s I Am, The Lost Tapes flows like an official release.
