One of the most underrated rappers..his music is timeless and always had that deep good vibe to it.. grown man shit he always be on ice cubes.. straight chill shit... This is a great song ..salute to a legend..good lookin' AZ🙏
The Format is still one of the greatest albums of all-time. Miss Hip-Hop with those soulful samples. And AZ went toe for toe with Nas on a few tracks and fw Jay-Z so he's been in legendary circles, embodies hip-hop and he's a certified legend himself, no debate.
This is what Hip-Hop is supposed to sound like! Smooth, flawless delivery with substance....AZ always a legend and still killing it the right way...Salute!!!
I have it in my car right now lol it's been on replay Mo Money Mo Homicide jeeeeeeaaaazzzz shit gives me goosebumps every time super banger and Sugar Hill n Hoe Happy Jacky..aaaall of em lol 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
And the firm. Along with all the other nas classics. Fuck it throw onyx, krs1, the akakolics, show biz and Ag, naughty by nature, pete rock and CL smooth ect
His biggest strength could also be his biggest weakness. He's too authentic and he stays in his lane. AZ on illmatic is the same AZ you hear now. I love it, I won't want it any other way. But that may be the reason why he doesn't get as much mass appeal
Not a mystery that he was black balled because of words that he spoke on the song "we can't win ",off the doe or die album . Go check out the track and you’ll understand why .
All the old school rappers coming out of retirement to show the youngins how it's done 💯 ....I realize he never retired ,I was just saying all of the old dudes that STOPPED RAPPING started back.
What a time to be alive though... AZ out here like he ain't even leave ... See im 30 but I aint like most of my generation... I know what real/good/meaningful/soulful hip hop is...raised by them older ones
60's 70's & 80's music never got old. The same thing is happening with 90's rap artist which I think is the last era of music. Most stuff coming 2000 & beyond is not built to last.

Its Sad when 45 year old rappers have to rap again just for you to hear some real rap and what rap used to be!🤦🏾♂️ This new age have some good music but nothing like what we had in the 90's early 2000's...
AZ has been one of the finest rappers to grace the mic since day one. Decades later AZ is proving once again that his delivery, flow, lyrics and overall aura is hard to ignore. The Visualizer has returned sounding better than ever. The flow is truly immaculate.Can’t wait to hear Doe or die 2. It’s been the longest time coming.🎤 🙌🏻
The god said "Plus my mathematics are right". That's a great double entendre. He's talking about his money and the fact he has knowledge of self (5% Mathematics). That's bars!
Born and raised in the South, to me this is the true essence of Hip Hop. AZ is so so underrated as an artist! We need a power shift in the Industry and get back to what real Hip Hop is!!
A.Z is so underrated, 90s rappers will always reign supreme ,his word play is still ill, new age rappers this is what real hiphop sounds like..
And hes still bringing that 90's vibe
