I'm glad they put spotlight on that verse. I remember the first time I heard it and how crazy I went every time. I replayed that verse a thousand times dissecting his lines. Brilliant verse on an insane beat.
Sebastien Francois You got that right. He never sold out . what hurt him was production . He should of stool to 1 producer or 2 entire carreer maybe premo or large pro or original producers from first album.
Definitely top 5 flow. He didn't blow up completely like he was supposed to though. Most likely because he didn't open his booty to the gatekeepers. #realtalk

NEVER, they are so timelessly beautiful, their GOLDEN BROWN SKIN STILL YOUTHFUL & HEALTHY, SHINNING & GLISTENING just like the Golden Mask of Pharaoh Tutankhamun in the 👑VALLEY OF THE KINGS👑!!!
I'm a westcoast cat. I was all about Cube, Snoop, Dre, Warren G etc, but when they played Sugar hill on The Box , the T.V. station where you could order videos to watch. His hypnotic flow with that East coast slang opened doors for me to peep out other artists from the east coast . In 1995 I owned about 10 CDs and Doe or Die was one of them .
Blessed to have been born in the 80s and raised in the 90s. I was able to witness these greats and what this sound did as young as I was. This was a great documentary, from the story, the people who spoke in this as well as the narrator, RAKIM, I mean c'mon. GReatness! And Foxxy still look damn good!!!!!! Yes!
AZ is a legend!! He was also big internationally back in the day. I grew up in Switzerland and, when Doe or Die dropped in 1995, local hip hop heads went crazy!! A true lyricist. His music is timeless. Blessings to everyone!
This guy demeanour always impress me and also inspired me allot A cool street dude that presents himself in a nice way Not on no demon hatful stuff Real layback and relaxed its like he don’t age , he like timeless . A true artist in the soul ✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾
AZ one of the best to ever do it! Grew up on AZ. Painted the New York city picture so clear, felt like I lived there. AZ and Nas mash up like you wid the flyest cats to ever do it.
I just saw AZ perform tonight (3/25/23) in New Jersey with Vinny and Kay-Gee from Naughty/Sluggaz at the Welmont Theater. AZ was great. Just as good if not better than 1996. I'm a little sad "Rather Unique" was left off of the set as it is one of my favorite songs of all time. There were a bunch of artists at the show and I feel like AZ required the whole evening. No disrespect to the other performers but AZ is in a class of his own...period.
AZ' voice always perked my ears up because there was NO ONE in hip hop that sounded like him at all in the mid/late 90s. Then his word play and laid back style was just always a win for me when I was a youth.
AZ challenged what a hardcore artist could be, intelligent, yet hood! Ho Happy Jackie in particular surprised me because it's almost curse free, no gratuitous uses of profanity! AZ is definitely top 5! Add the fact that he's half black half latino, there aren't many, I identified with him from the rip!
duron bryant Yeah, unfortunately! I believe this ruined the genre and brought it to where we are today. But, the straight street material and the timeless Life's A Bitch verse are the best of show! What made his Life's A Bitch verse so iconic wasn't just his delivery, it was how true those lyrics where and will forever be! The mafioso raps where just to sell a few records and make a few dollars, like cutting your product to get more money from lesser quality product. I'll be the first to admit, it grew out of control and diluted the integrity of the genre.
One of the greatest and my personal favorites It not just the ill skills, it's his cool personality emanating through the music. I bet he never thought Rakim would be narrating his story. Dope
She talk about him like that because shes a materialistic bitch. Note how she was the ONLY one who wasn't talking about his skills but what he was pushing and wearing instead. Foxy has always been like that
To me they go hand-in-hand and I don't like comparing rappers and saying who's better but to me az out rhyme Nas on every track you could and he had two potential to be better than Nas too they styles are just similar for both rappers of dope
Never had any A.Z albums but this documentary showed me that there is still one more I need to go back and listen to. That verse on illmatic was sick, did not realize it was this brotha. Peace and Respect to HipHop and all it's people.
I wish nas and az would have done an album together AZ wanted to but nas turned it down I really think nas was kind of intimated by az I always thought AZ flow was better albums also
AZ is the truth, when he spits his rhyme I always see myself in a recliner chair sitting above the Brooklyn bridge in the sky sipping on duce and just maxin while the clouds brush over my dome piece. Word
Growing up a punk rocker I still listen to hip hop and besides wu, Az was my all time favorite. I remember catching the city bus with a portable CD player listening to this album. The format and fanmail we're my favorite songs
Dude is one of the best multi syllable lyricists I've ever heard. His flow on Doe or Die is impeccable, and Ho Happy Jaccie is still relatable to this day. Classic
Az's lisp is on where there are no "R" sounds in his speech. Often his r words sound like v words . Example, the word " reaction " is "veaction" from AZ .
Truth be told AZ is the hardest out of the firm no doubt. The guy is a quiet assassin that is on my mama word. He is dangerous than Nas but hates Fame. I respect AZ to the core will die to shake his hand. I need his down to earth attitude. He started with Nas, Nas blew and he never got jealous or envious or beef that right there should tell you how Big AZ is. Contended with what he had.
Wow what jewel. So I was in elementary school when this album came out. It was my uncles friends in high school that introduced me to the album. They saw me walking home from school scooped me up threw me and my homie in the back and had the album blasting. I remember thinking that what I was listening to was hard as hell. I got the album some how years later in high school and I still could not grasp what I was listening to. I could only listen to sugar hill for real. I listened to the album again in college and gave it to a bunch of my homies and it was then that I realized that it was a complete classic. The reception of the album from my peers was overwhelming. This can truly be called a classic because has stood the test of time.
MrJduke40 Word, Man that is some Journey you had with this Gem from Childhood to Adulthood the Appreciation is valued heavily....Much Props from Florida.....
MrJduke40 that what happen to me with a couple differences,the song I listened to over and over was rather unique then popped it in again when I started playing the street and got my own car and realised how solid it was
AZ is a Living Legend. Put AZ in Any cypher anyday & watch AZ Shine like the Sun. The industry needs to pay a tribute to AZ & give him everything he deserves & more as a Artist.

I'm a little sad "Rather Unique" was left off of the set as it is one of my favorite songs of all time. There were a bunch of artists at the show and I feel like AZ required the whole evening. No disrespect to the other performers but AZ is in a class of his own...period.
AZ' voice always perked my ears up because there was NO ONE in hip hop that sounded like him at all in the mid/late 90s. Then his word play and laid back style was just always a win for me when I was a youth.
Not to nit pick but Nas and Him sound alike and have same flow.fwiw
Exactly!!!!!!
@@anwjuice I always thought that they had similarities but I could tell they had their own lanes as well .

AZ challenged what a hardcore artist could be, intelligent, yet hood!
Ho Happy Jackie in particular surprised me because it's almost curse free, no gratuitous uses of profanity!
AZ is definitely top 5!
Add the fact that he's half black half latino, there aren't many, I identified with him from the rip!
JuanJose247 word but he was mafiaoso rap
duron bryant Yeah, unfortunately!
I believe this ruined the genre and brought it to where we are today.
But, the straight street material and the timeless Life's A Bitch verse are the best of show!
What made his Life's A Bitch verse so iconic wasn't just his delivery, it was how true those lyrics where and will forever be!
The mafioso raps where just to sell a few records and make a few dollars, like cutting your product to get more money from lesser quality product.
I'll be the first to admit, it grew out of control and diluted the integrity of the genre.
He’s just black ..Latino is a culture black is a. Race ...he’s black
vainglorious101 This is commonly known, but for lack of a better identifier...
It's a constant point of contention in the Latin community.
There were plenty of mc's who were intelligent and hood. That's a ridiculous comment.
AZ is one of the reasons we stayed Fly growing up in Newark NJ. We didn't have nothing growing up but we had family 🤷🏾♂️
One of the greatest and my personal favorites
It not just the ill skills, it's his cool personality emanating through the music.
I bet he never thought Rakim would be narrating his story.
Dope
AZ was a pioneer in this era RATHER UNIQUE..
Am I the only one who think that Foxy either had a crush on A back in the days or they were low-key dating? You can tell the way she talks about him.
Yeah I can see that 🙂
Nope...you and 26 others share that thought. It could just be her fanning out over a NY legend.😎
I thought they were up to Something too. Lolol. This doc only reinforces it.
Yep
She talk about him like that because shes a materialistic bitch. Note how she was the ONLY one who wasn't talking about his skills but what he was pushing and wearing instead. Foxy has always been like that
My man AZ one of my favorite rappers. Pretty boy swag with that hardcore street rep. Rather Unique.
AZ is criminally underrated. Always one of my faves. Got to revisit after watching this.
To have Rakim in this...speaks for itself about this clever..talented...underrated MC...
