AZ, as far as Hip-Hop goes, is truly a messiah amongst men. Many tried, many died, were incarcerated, lost it all on drugs and booze and women and dice. Laying low might not get you the mainstream appeal, but being the rapper's rapper has its perks too. A living bastion from the 90's and 00's NY old-school Hip Hop scene for sure.
Bro you are a huge part of my early teenage years. I was the only nigga banging AZ. The flow, the lyricism, the beats... You have it all. You have to be one of the most respected rappers in history and played a big role in Hip Hop and that's waaaaaay better than being top 5.
1st time hearing Sugar Hill he had my curiosity but when I heard Doe Or Die the entire album I was captivated. And then Doe or Doe II instant masterpiece
it's hard to show resistance When money-gettin' niggas need my assistance To stack figures beyond non-existence Fuck keepin' my distance, 'cause bein' poor produced persistence Plus pleas, a hundred G's will have me blockin' out of jail sentence I'm recognized by the illest of individuals, killers and criminals Even willies that's really into jewels But still skeptic on who I cling to 'Cause every single nigga that swing through Ain't my man just 'cause we mingle Too much snake shit, even females be feedin' off that fake shit Filled with envy and hatred, but my high helps me escape it
The most underrated ever. Your favorite rapper favorite rapper! You deserve your roses you came along way 25+ years in the game and still nice with the flow 🏌🏾♂️
This is important for us to embrace our legends while they here for us too hear it directly! No commentary from peers but this form here !!!! I love this !!!! Anticipating more that shine/ slippery speech
AZ is beyond a rapper he's an M.C to me he's the second thing to Biggie Smalls. You see most rappers tell a story but AZ just don't tell the story he puts you on the seen trust. A bottle of Yac and a bag of Bud. Very talented brother.
I'm proud you of my Brother AZ . Me being a kid growing up listening to you help me out in my life. I'm happy that we both from E.N.Y you held it down for our town. You are truly God Gift Child much respect you deserve it my brother thank you for all the music you gave
I been listening to A Z from the beginning and I’ll tell the man is a dope l m c always keeping it thorough and always giving you jewels 💎 of life ,but keep it rugged.word play crazy too
"you know the chronicles, the shit that if mama knew, the stress the drama do, the tec's phenomenal. rapid fire, it pecks through the abdominal, you bastard liars, it's me who's the honorable..." The Format #oneofthegreatestmcsEVER
I love AZ gimme yours is a classic whole album is classic surprised to see 50 in this 50 needs to cast AZ on power his speaking voice is so smooth or even a narrator he would be perfect.
Seeing you and Nas as babies on here just made me think of that video when y’all was in front of um, maybe Joe Pesci, Scorsese or Deniro, somebody, behind the desk and y’all started fighting! 😂😂😂😂 Love you baby. ❤
I first heard AZ in 1998 when a friend borrowed me the album Pieces of a Man and instantly fell in love with what i heard. Definitely he is in my top 10 rappers of all time
Real talk, since a youngin I been tellin dudes not to sleep on AZ. Been one of my/the best since he dropped. Coast to Coast n worldwide he a legend. Respect to the King! Mad resprect to AZ🙏 true talent for the books!
