I remember Erykah Badu was performing at the Jazz Festival in Cape Town and kicking it back stage around 2011/12 and someone asked what's her favourite verse ever and she just started kicking AZs verse from Life's A Bitch. He never reached that super star status but also never let his fans down and has one of the dopest catalogues in hip hop. Legend.
Barry Mcguire - Eve Of Destruction came out mid 60's. Everything he sang bout holds today. A lot of people aren't ahead of time they just aren't drugged out and brainwashed by society to see what's really going on.
I believe it. As a poet who recorded before, I literally HATED hearing my own voice. It wasn't until other people helped boost my confidence that I shifted into not caring and just doing my thang.
That moment when Nas and Az found out they equally dope n just shooting the shit together on the phone lol I like dat…I always saw them as lyrical twins 🙏🏾🔥
Thank ya'll for bringing AZ up. This mans flow is still nuts. It was way too crazy back in the day. He is the epitome of a rapper with "swag". Sometimes we saw rappers and was like idk man if he getting money or b*tches like that.......but AZ fit that mold! True wordsmith!
AZ and Nas were always the only two I viewed as "Don" type MCs. If u get what I mean. On some laid back, quiet, get money, be wit all da fly ladies of different nationalities, humble, but gangster WHEN NECESSARY.
Exactly! They couldn't let young black men think they are gods and read books all day, let's throw them some crack and have them worship their low desires.
"Visualizin' the realism of life in actuality F*ck who's the baddest, a person's status depends on salary And my mentality is money-orientated I'm destined to live the dream for all my peeps who never made it 'Cause yeah, we were beginners in the hood as Five Percenters But somethin' must've got in us, 'cause all of us turned to sinners Now some restin' in peace and some are sittin' in San Quentin Others, such as myself, are tryin' to carry on tradition " - AZ
05:20 Son running outta breath fighting to overtalk the guest is the epitome of rap podcast. 😂 inviting someone to tell their story just to overtalk them is wild
Life’s a Bitch was the last track and instead of it being a wind down outro it ended up being the climax. The energy and originality he brought to that L.P. was ultra human. 💎💎💎💎💎
@@toryou6 I'm def gonna cop it. Mega is also doing something with his Testament album. I think a remaster or something. But AZ dropping completely new heat is what we need.
1st song I put an L up in the air with a couple of my homies 1 day before HS graduation in 94 in Missouri. My dude said yo- check this album out by this NY cat Nas and lit up the tree when Life's a Bitch came on. Still my favorite song of all time.
Love this happy to see one of the best hip hop lyricist speak. It's dope that he's exclusive the way he is. Cause then when you hear him speak you get jewls dropped on auto.
I have been waiting to hear AZ tell this story of how he met Nas for the first time. This is beautiful. Thank you guys for this interview. Love from Cape Town, South Africa
I hope this Katt continues make music, and is able to feed his family and live comfortable. Lord, protect this Katt. We'll never see or hear another rapper like AZ! Peace my brother!
I heard about Nas before AZ but I still never liked rap that much I knew that Nas was really good but I still wasn’t interested in listening to it that much though I really enjoyed it. But when I heard life’s a bitch I wanted to feel like that because it was so real. I won’t ever forget that song. I heard it in the summer time in Brooklyn at Albany day on some turntables. It was so real that I thought that it was the dj that was playing it song. I think that I asked him over and over until he got really upset. I was that amazed by it. But then I went back to my projects in Brooklyn sumner houses and I asked this rapper named Maze have he heard something like life’s a bitch and he knew the whole entire verse I made him repeat it like five times. I found out then who AZ was I thought that his name stood for the alphabet and how fast and smart and intelligent that he is. But by time sugarhill with miss jones came out I was writing every word of it and memorizing them to perform sugarhill for the drug dealers in the neighborhood. But they already knew who it was but they let me finish the song anyway…….etc.
That album is never going happen because nas dont want it. He doesnt want az to outshine him. Look at renegade with eminen and jay. People talk about eminem killed jay on that track. He doesnt want to hear that. Thats smart, you cant fault him for that. People still talk abiut his verse in illmatic
@@KrishnaSingh-ow1ie The relationship between the two not even like that they perfect together. Some old beef over a woman had Nas in his feelings but rap wise them two magic.
Sosa energy is way more hype on here. Than on the MEO podcast. He seem more annoyed with the line of questions. On here he feels more eager to answer questions.
I don't think AZ realizes how great of a lyricist he is.👏👏☝
Humble

I still wish Nas & AZ did a full album together with just them 2.
Firm would have been so dope with just him, Nas, Mega and Foxy. We got fooled back then
Most People want this album also.
Just the few songs that they both are on, you can literally listen to them songs the whole day. Legendary
The firm 2 the people need that salute to AZ and Nas 2 of my favorites
Yeah Nas, Az and P. Produced by Havoc. 🔥
LIFES A BITCH VERSE….. INSANE … ONE OF THE BEST VERSES EVER…. AZ KILLED IT 🔥🔥🔥
"fuck who the baddest a person status depends on salary"
this mans ahead of his time.
Definitely a well bar A be kicking next level shit💯💯

What song was that
I can't believe he hated his voice. His voice is what I thought was the best
I believe it. As a poet who recorded before, I literally HATED hearing my own voice. It wasn't until other people helped boost my confidence that I shifted into not caring and just doing my thang.
Bro spit one of the most legendary verses and didn't think it was gon make the album. I keep that song on rotation 🔥🔥🔥
And shout out to Nas for making his verse the first one on the song. He kicked that door down when he starts spittin' on that song frfr
Facts , in fact his verse was better than Nas to me and Nas verse was super 🔥
one of the top 10 songs in hip hop all time my opinion, whole song captures the essence of rap.
Gentlemen, thank you we don't get enough AZ apart from the music. Thank you 🙏🏾.
Imagine being able to casually say you were present when Nas was recording Illmatic. Two legends
instant classic - we need more of these legends
That moment when Nas and Az found out they equally dope n just shooting the shit together on the phone lol I like dat…I always saw them as lyrical twins 🙏🏾🔥

I've always looked at AZ as a cross between Nas and Jay-Z in terms of talent,success but he always been his own man.
One of my favorite rappers.
AZ and Nas were always the only two I viewed as "Don" type MCs. If u get what I mean. On some laid back, quiet, get money, be wit all da fly ladies of different nationalities, humble, but gangster WHEN NECESSARY.
@@DonYoGi8331 exactly!!!
Az is like Nas's more charismatic brother
We was beginners/ in the hood as 5 % percenters/ but something must to got in us/ cuz all of us turn to sinners/ .....AZ's a beast
Exactly! They couldn't let young black men think they are gods and read books all day, let's throw them some crack and have them worship their low desires.
Even when he is having a normal conversation, AZ still sounds like he is rapping. That's how good of a rapper A is.
Life’s A Bitch til this day is pure magic. I was blown away when I first heard it like is them niggas really saying this shit.
"Visualizin' the realism of life in actuality
F*ck who's the baddest, a person's status depends on salary
And my mentality is money-orientated
I'm destined to live the dream for all my peeps who never made it
'Cause yeah, we were beginners in the hood as Five Percenters
But somethin' must've got in us, 'cause all of us turned to sinners
Now some restin' in peace and some are sittin' in San Quentin
Others, such as myself, are tryin' to carry on tradition " - AZ
❤ Absolutely. Outstanding. He's Top Tier Poetry
the greatest feature on a debut album of all time, argubaly the greatest rap feat ever.
Dude spit fire on that album. That one verse put him in the game. Literally. Btw his last album was well put together
A didn’t have a demo tape he got signed off one verse
Met AZ in the summer real humble dude
❤I wish

Life’s a Bitch was the last track and instead of it being a wind down outro it ended up being the climax. The energy and originality he brought to that L.P. was ultra human. 💎💎💎💎💎
The rap world definitely needs a NAS and AZ EP ‼️
This one came out of nowhere. First Cormega, now this? can't wait 🔥
Glad AZ did it, his new release about to drop too
@@toryou6 I'm def gonna cop it. Mega is also doing something with his Testament album. I think a remaster or something. But AZ dropping completely new heat is what we need.

Big shout to AZ,long time friend, Rahmel, u still nice brother,facts
AZ is in my top 5
We need Nas&AZ Album it’s time the wait is over often times hiphop fans get robbed of classic albums that will never see the light of day
He so underrated he one of the best ever n lifes a bitch is one of my favorite plus the flyest
Put AZ and NAS together against everyone they will wipe the floor with these rappers.
Best voice in Hip-Hop, pieces of a man in my top 5 albums

Most underrated 🔥
I would love to hear a AZ+NAS+HITBOY collab🙌🏽
Damn... This shyt hit different...

That album is never going happen because nas dont want it. He doesnt want az to outshine him. Look at renegade with eminen and jay. People talk about eminem killed jay on that track. He doesnt want to hear that. Thats smart, you cant fault him for that. People still talk abiut his verse in illmatic
