“My main objective was to show that I’m a lyricist to be taken seriously; not just with the lyrics but with wordplay and every other element that comes with MC’ing, like being clever, witty, and versatile.”
Guaranteed Hit: Defsounds chops it up with Nino Bless, one of the most promising up-and-comers we heard this year.
COMMENTS
One of the best to ever pic up a mic. Sub par production, record label not accustomed to hip hop and an inability to make commercial hits has plagued him but word for word, line for line, bar for bar, he is impeccable.
yeh man he still nice i like his a w.o.l album it was nice
niggaz sleepin' on my dude AZ
The Hardest Out
Legend. 1/3 of the legendary group: The Firm. He can spit with the best of them.
TO ME HES THE MOST UNDERRATED...SHAME SHAME///DEEE-TROIT
this dude is the most consistent out of all them niggas from the 96 era. and his flow is way hotter.
I think you forgettin someone who dropped in 94 but yea AZ is a Monster compared to these Young fuks out nowadays. And he still go hardbody....
Best Dominican rappa
when him primo get together its a problem
Co-sign that to the fullest. they should do a whole album together
sit back relax catch a contact sip some congac and lets wash our money through the laundry mat.... start of one of the illest verses in rap
AZ aight, i can actually listen to him. life's a bitch one the illest songs ever.
A lot of people say AZ is one the most underrated MCs of all time but the real most underrated MC of all time is Lord Finesse cuz all his albums r hot and Big L sort of used his style
He also gave Big L his start
Back to AZ (sorry 4 gettin off topic) he is a great MC, one of my favorites
AZ 1 of tha best ever and he dominican descent which is a plus for me cause im dominican
It'a a damn shame when U got madd clowns gettin' airplay and platinum status and the God AZ been reppin' since 94' and can't seem to get that. Dude is definitely top 10 material.
Just goes to show how many 85'ers are walking around dumb def and blind. It's a shame his darts land in deaf ears..........
I 4got... I gotta say "Rather Unique" of the Doe or Die album is one of the best displays of lyricism ever......
Don't forget "Mo Money, Mo Murda"!!!
