the dude is a lyrical genius with chill ass beats, how he didn't blow up bigger is beyond me. [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OAbQgufqM9o[/ame]
Az is actually is comming up pretty big, hasn't Jay-Z spit with him? i say not nearly as underrated as a lot.
[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5AqW-lzUs7k]YouTube - AZ - Problems[/ame] He is definitely in my top 10 artists. I too wondered why he never properly got his recognition in the game. True hip hop at his finest...
No offense but if you think AZ is the most underrated of all time you probably haven't heard much hip hop. He's pretty good but like most 90's rappers his career went nowhere without the marketing schemes nowadays rappers have.

Visualizin the realism of life and actuality Fuck who's the baddest a person's status depends on salary And my mentality is, money orientated I'm destined to live the dream for all my peeps who never made it cause yeah, we were beginners in the hood as five percenters But somethin must of got in us cause all of us turned to sinners Now some, restin in peace and some are sittin in San Quentin Others such as myself are tryin to carry on tradition Keepin the schwepervesence street ghetto essence inside us Cause it provides us with the proper insight to guide us Even though, we know somehow we all gotta go but as long as we leavin thievin we'll be leavin with some kind of dough so, and to that day we expire and turn to vapors me and my capers-ll be somewhere stackin plenty papers Keepin it real, packin steel, gettin high Cause life's a bitch and then you die -AZ (Life's a Btich) Too ill
My verbals rip shit, brains give birth to thoughts in triplets, fuck it i'm on some flip shit ready to let my clip spit- AZ rather unique THE ***** IS CRAZY
