AZ: The illest rapper alive

Discussion in 'Music genres, Bands and Artists' started by Still Smokin, Oct 19, 2007.

  1. I havent listened to AZ since back in the day, and now I dont understand why. This kat is one of the best from the NYC. His rhymes are so siick. I've been listenin to nothin but his CDs for the last week now..cant get enough. Him and Nas get on some tracks together from back in the late 90s and just tear it uuup.. nasty rhymes. Here are a few of his songs



    The Come Up

    Nas & AZ - How Ya Livin ...this song is siiick

  2. Yo check him out on Styles P's Ghost Sessions... he's on tha first track, maybe a couple others. Sick.
     
  3. im really digging the come up, really good song, but id probibly say one of the best hip hop music video ive ever seen. i mostly listen to pac, but lately ive been listening to nothing but the outlawz
     
  4. AZ's verse on Life's a Bitch is ill.
     
  5. I really like what Ive heard of AZ. Im a bg nas fan.

    right now I have The Format and Doe or die.

    What are his best albums lyrically and production wise should I check out.
     
  6. Az isn't that great. His first album is great, but he gradually fell of imo, The Format was pretty shitty.

    And he's definitely not the best rapper, shit, nas, jay, and jeru are all better than him, and they're all from ny.

    Here's the best nas + az song ever though

  7. haha anyone heard the song where nas suggests AZ doesnt exist and he put him there and played the part of AZ'
    he also states that his beef with jay z may have been staged to raise hip hop popularity
    i was mad high when i heard it and it was crazy...i love AZ he's tight...Big L is sick when im high too
     
  8. While I don't think AZ is the greatest of alive, some of his old tracks were good.
     
  9. he is one of the most underrated illest emcee that has been around so long and on classic joints yet still flyin under the radar for the most part for years...lyrically and his style/vocabulary is so sick especially with collabos with nas they flow nasty together(i am hopin they start workin together again and release a new joint)...i been listenin to him for years one of my favorites of all time, he just hasnt got what he truly deserves in the public eye

    real hip hop ...top 5 dead or alive

    "Visualizin’ the realism of life and actuality

    Fuck who’s the baddest, a person's status depends on salary

    And my mentality is money-oriented

    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 have 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’ this wealth of essence, street ghetto essence inside us

    ’Cause it provides us with the proper insight to guide us"

    —From Nas’ "Life's A Bitch"
