What does everyone think of AZ?

[AlerG]

AZ and preemo needa do an album already

I couldn't agree more,

chill

[MontrealCity's Most]

Yeah IM digging AZ

[jeromechickenbone]

Love AZ, one of my all time favorite MC's.  One of the tightest flows ever, spits multi's damn near as good as G Rap in his prime, has made some CLASSIC tracks, and has consistently put out very good music for over 10 years.  I loved "The Format".  Thought it was a great album.  Easily one of my top albums of 06.  I'll always buy his albums. 

And look at the singles he's dropped over the years, and still drops today.  He never drops bullshit joints.

Dope ass emcee, kinda like a second rate Nas. Never really put out a full album that I liked, and I feel he's a little past his prime now, but I'm still a fan. "Pieces of a (black) Man" is pure crack.

[herpes]

Doe or Die is a classic album.  I dont know how anyone in there right mind can say AZ had a subpar solo career.  Pieces of a black man, awol, the come up, and aziatic are all amazing albums.  Awol was the album of the year in 2005.  AZ is the most underatted rapper ever.  From your post tho I doubt you have heard his album Doe or Die in full and if you did it was when you were in your full west coast swing.  And the flyest is far from one of Nas and AZ's best.  Listen to the song Mo money mo murder and the way they flow off each other is amazing.  I think you have heard a very limited sample of his music and if so you are really missing out.  AZ >>>> 95% of the game.

Thanks to everyone that suggested and pointed out some AZ tracks I need to hear, or may have missed.

I went back and listened to Doe Or Die again... and it's clear that whenever he's thinking he's an Italian mobster and doing that played out Mafioso rap that the executives at the label probably told him to do.. HE'S WACK!  But whenever he's rappin on that 5% Islamic tip that sounds like something he would of picked up in prison... HE'S DOPE!   I found a couple other ill tracks off Doe Or Die that I missed before...

"We Can't Win"- this is an ill track, very detailed lyrically.. they are droppin knowledge on this track, but it's still fire!  This is the style he does best. 

also.. "The World Don't Stop" and "Doe Or Die" are nice tracks.

az has been on that mafioso tip from the get go and still does it so its not executive thing.  And the only track on doe or die that was really on that mafioso tip was mo money mo murder which pretty much any hip hop head will tell you is a classic track.

Couldn't agree more about Mo Money

[mastdark81]

I haven't checked for him since 2000 but I personally liked alot of his songs and albums.  Yeah he's definitely underrated.
