The album was originally supposed to be a double disc album, and was intended to be called I Am…The Autobiography. After being leaked to the Internet, and being one of the first to be leaked in MP3 mode at the time, Nas had to make a ton of changes to the track listing, narrowing it down to one disc. Later on, some of the tracks were included in his Lost Tapes project, but fans are still in the grey as far as what the double album was supposed to be finalized as.  [ad2]
