That era of AZ was amazing. The format, Magic hour, gimme yours 2010, all 🔥🔥🔥! The right beats, the right vibes, the right features. Underrated Hall of Famer.
Another very important Dj Premier produced record. Never forget the first time I heard it. I was mind blown. The strings were just perfect. My favorite line from AZ was: “it’s ferocious when broke niggas get focused” Do or die would of been a entirely different record of Premier was on it.
The Come Up straight up Classic also when Preemo and AZ reunited to do The Format even better Salute to two Legends. I would Love for Preemo to do a So Wassup on M.O.P.’s Rugged Neva Smoove Remix, Salute Pt II, Faceoff and Follow Instructions those beats are so epic in particular Rugged Neva Smoove Remix to is one of the top 10 beats ever 🔥🔥🔥
Yes! I've been asking for this one for a while. Thanks a ton, Preemo. This song had a profound impact on me in 2008 when I heard this track for the first time. 'The Come Up' still inspires me to this day.
One of the greatest hip-hop producers of all time, the way he explained his approach how he tries to match the voice ,flow an delivery of the artist to the production excellent.
Az's verse on life's a bitch is arguably top.50 in hip hop history. He was rapping like his life depended on it,the hunger,delivery,and superb lyricism was mystical!
I love the scratches and the samples used on this song, the beat is also really good. AZ is one of my favorite rappers, like Premo and Nas, most everything done between Preemo and AZ is a classic.
i think not just the fact that all these records are gems. its the fact that every record has a origin story, that shit is so dope to me. keep doin your thang Preemo, i love these videos. i also love the background beats you use on each episode. shit is always so mellow.
Thank you! Being someone that grew up watching these greats enter the game, I can't begin to describe how thankful I am that you are sharing this. If there's one thing that was certain back then it was that if you seen Premier next to the track you knew you had a guaranteed banger. Thank you for sharing and preserving this history for our kids.
AZ is on par with Nas & Black Thought lyrically and I hope Primo and SOSA can do an album together. AZ with the best verse on the GOAT Hip♥Hop album 'ILLMATIC' really did justice as always on this joint 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥.
I feel like AZ never got the appreciation he should have, maybe from being in the firm alongside Nas and Foxxy but I really liked his flow and abilities. Underappreciated for sure.
Thinking about this song brings a tear to my eye 🥲 was going through an extremely rough patch in life when it was released....but, we all gotta creep on the come up ✊
Wish Premiere would have talked about the recording session and how it comes together cuz the storyline Az put down was incredible. thanks though Premier much appreciated. One

This joint was magic. AZ is criminally underrated.
Tell it.
Low key my fav. AZ song🔥🔥🔥🔥
AZ isn’t underrated. Just so many clowns just want to talk Eminem, Tupac or 50 Cent. They are pop fans. True Hip Hop heads love AZ
@@ghostshipone Pac and 50 weren't pop. Popular? Yeah, but not pop. The NY and Cali streets were messing with 50 and Pac hard.
Big facts son
AZ might be the Most Underrated Emcee of All Time. But also one of the Greatest. Period.
The Come Up and The Format are some of my favorite beats ever. Would love more collabs between you and AZ 🔥
agreed, not only that but they perfect for AZ. soo technical, Deep and timeless...it just lures in very easily
Man AZ got busy on the format bro
Well respected
Jail connected
Got the method for them pretty females perfected
My senior quote from the year it came out was from the format. They wouldnt put it in the year book because it mentioned Christ.
And "Goat"
Underrated track, cool video too
AZ catalog super underrated!! Another timeless Preemo record
AZ has one of the TIGHTEST rhyme styles, my GAWD!!
"I'M FROM A PLACE WHERE HARDCORE IS BEAUTIFUL" "I'M RATHER UNIQUE"
That era of AZ was amazing. The format, Magic hour, gimme yours 2010, all 🔥🔥🔥! The right beats, the right vibes, the right features. Underrated Hall of Famer.
Glad this series is back! And your collaborations with AZ are classic
AZ is a Living Legend.
This is a true classic. The format as well. the way AZ flows is "rather unique"
AZ top 10. Easily the most underrated MC ever
AZ and Deck
dj Premier *IS* hip hop !!
DJ Premier & AZ are legends. Love the work they do together. Thanks to DJ Premier for breaking this down.
The Come Up recently became my Favorite AZ Track! It's such a dope beat and of course AZ Kills it.
The Format is better.
The Format is dope, but I prefer Come Up.@@lecircassien948
This record caught me soon as I heard it. Came out during the ring tone era. Music like that captivated me at 15-16 and the reason I bought the album
The pathos of the strings contrasted by AZ's street smart hustler flow create a moment in time of perfect peace .
this record felt like a big "FINALLY" when yall 2 linked up. I know AZ was on D'Angelo's "Lady Remix" but this one being a solo joint was even sweeter
That AWOL album was dope, it stayed in my rotation when it dropped
This beat just Godly🔥🔥🎵🎵🎵
Perfect joint to chill and ride around in the whip
Perfect way to describe it, some things just have that vibe!
Do or Die is a live album for real. One of the best ever. Word up.
I used to rap over this beat in class in high school. I wasn't around in 1994. Records like The Come Up are what made me a Prem fan.
I still remember this like it was yesterday. This still hits today.
Another very important Dj Premier produced record. Never forget the first time I heard it. I was mind blown. The strings were just perfect. My favorite line from AZ was: “it’s ferocious when broke niggas get focused”
Do or die would of been a entirely different record of Premier was on it.
Facts, already an awesome album but imagine a Premier beat or two on it? 😵💫😵💫
The Come Up straight up Classic also when Preemo and AZ reunited to do The Format even better Salute to two Legends. I would Love for Preemo to do a So Wassup on M.O.P.’s Rugged Neva Smoove Remix, Salute Pt II, Faceoff and Follow Instructions those beats are so epic in particular Rugged Neva Smoove Remix to is one of the top 10 beats ever 🔥🔥🔥
1st Fam 4 Life!
Yes! I've been asking for this one for a while. Thanks a ton, Preemo.
This song had a profound impact on me in 2008 when I heard this track for the first time. 'The Come Up' still inspires me to this day.

One of the greatest hip-hop producers of all time, the way he explained his approach how he tries to match the voice ,flow an delivery of the artist to the production excellent.
Az's verse on life's a bitch is arguably top.50 in hip hop history. He was rapping like his life depended on it,the hunger,delivery,and superb lyricism was mystical!
Yes! One of my favorite Premo beats!
Instant "thumbs up" - classic

I still bump that track on the regular, big up Premo and AZ both legends!
Such a banger. And the video is amazing too. Every time I listen to Doe or Die though,I can't stop wondering what could have been with Preemo on it...

The Come Up Definitely going down as one of those classic Preem gems.
my top 5 Premo beats of all time and also my fav AZ song of all time!! i can rap this song from A-Z no pun intended! the last verse is so 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
That first verse so perfectly encapsulates all the hoods no matter where you "come up"
AZ is on par with Nas & Black Thought lyrically and I hope Primo and SOSA can do an album together. AZ with the best verse on the GOAT Hip♥Hop album 'ILLMATIC' really did justice as always on this joint 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥.
These drums always knock! Boom Bap!! 🔥🔥🔥🫡
One of The dopest premo beats ever! My 2nd favourite to Group Home - up against The wall getaway car remix🙏🏻
DOPE! The So LOng aWaited Episode...Of The Come Up!
I feel like AZ never got the appreciation he should have, maybe from being in the firm alongside Nas and Foxxy but I really liked his flow and abilities. Underappreciated for sure.
Amazing stuff. This track was on repeat back in the days.
Always wanted a Preem + Nas and/or Preem + AZ project. Never too late! 🤞🏽
If y’all didn’t know…AZ absolutely rips this track down. One of my all time favorites.
See you PV! I love that you always represent Texas... 🤘🏿🤘🏿🤘🏿
Thinking about this song brings a tear to my eye 🥲 was going through an extremely rough patch in life when it was released....but, we all gotta creep on the come up ✊
Probably listened to this song a few thousand times, never gets old
