This shit IS Fire.
AZ still the truth.
210 Stand Up
a mess? what was you listening to? Obviously not the lyrics, obviously not the beat. So what exactly?
This is lyriscism my nigga. Multiple rhyme patterns, multi syllable rhymes from a smooth laid back type nigga.
U snortin that wayne! this beat raw as hell and AZ is gonna spit "fire" regardless my dude.
What a hater, for real, calling him self "King of Sounds" shame on you nigga. But AZ still spits the truth. This is it right here.
You guys need to relax yall startin to sound like Wayne and Wu-Tang fans.
This song is average, the beat and flow he put down do not sound that well together. Don't get it twisted I buying the album the day it comes out no questions asked but I'll definately be pressing the skip button on this track.
i expected more... it was cool, def not fire
what more did you expect...this is AZ
its good, honestly i expected more
i love AZ.
btw: wats up with his album? is it still dropping next tuesday?i heard it was pushed back to next month....i hope not

bigg upz 2 AZ..
evryones entitled to their opinion, but if i dont like dis track, u cant say i dont like hip hip as a whole, dats just stupid to say, AZ isnt hip-hop itself! AZ's nice n bringin sumn good to da table but shit I cant agree wit ur comment

couldnt say it beta son, dats y i left dis shit n diged deep underground to find real HIP HOP ARTIST b Az foreva will be one of da greatest!
AZ most underrated
true. at least he's a real rapper and not a industry homo
Shit is some more fire from AZ.
alot of you fuckin niggas don't know about real hip hop. all you know is fuckin crunk music. FFFFFFUUUUUUCCCCCCKKKKKKKKK CCCCCCCRRRRRRUUUUNNNNNNNNKKKKKKKK MMMMUSSSSSSSSSSSIIIIICCCCC.
Scarface is a legend. but fffffffuuuuuuuuccccccckkkkkkk the sssssssooooooooouuuuutttttttthhhhhhh.
I agree wit u but dont 4get T.I. he along wit scarface are the only good southern rappers
This nigga aint changed even a little bit. AZ one of the only niggas that I can count on now a days. Him and nas need to make a whole album together. Without foxy and nature.
its aight
legend
nas, az, mobb, cnn, nature, cormega, ll, ....................queens
AZ from brooklyn... dick. change your avatar.
then theres brooklyn and the rest of nyc....east and west should come together and bury the south. sorry but its true for the sake of hip hop.
LMAO. Yeah that's how it should be. The east and west should get together and bury those bad guys!!!
You sound so intelligent. Naw you really sound like a fucking 1st grader.
But anyway, I can honestly say I don't know if this track is good or not. It sounds like something I would daydream to lol.
Is this really the great AZ that I've been hearing about? IDK maybe they just posted the wrong track.
Can anybody give me a hot AZ track or two to listen to so I can get a feel of his greatness I guess?
'Sugarhill', 'Life's a bitch' feat Nas, 'Side 2 side' feat Ron G, 'Omega', 'The Hardest Out' feat Styles, 'Affirmative Action' feat The Firm...all got classic AZ verses if you dont know you need to find out
AZ def had better songs than this but this still got an aite sound im looking out for that album
Okay, I just listened to Sugarhill and The Hardest Out. I've had Illmatic for a while, but I never knew who that was that rapped the first verse, and I also heard Sugarhill a long time ago, I just didn't know whose song it was, but it always had a nice vibe to it.
They were all cool tracks, but in my opinion, Nas, Rakim, and AZ's rap style's are the exact same. I guess if you like one then you like all three of them.
I respect their lyrical ability, but I can't listen to them for extended periods of time. It just gets boring. They all rap at a constant, monotoned, speed in every track. It's just not too entertaining for me.
i mean theres no doubt AZ and Nas got similar styles and Rakim was one of the first and best to do it and def influenced Nas thats why hes always giving him shout outs...if you dont like them then you probably just dont like NY hip-hop period, but you from the south so do you...and i hear you sometimes im not in the mood for they style cuz its not really party or background music its sit back and listen closely to catch everything they saying type music (but AZ got some joints you can dance to)... if you want smooth flow, real content, and lyrical ability it gets no better
ye its nice still, not da best, evry AZ track is so distinct, like u kno dats sum AZ shit, but im tryna hear AZ go hard on a track, his shits so calm!
this is something to burn a L to straight up that smooth flow real lyricism id bang this
Heroin running threw dem vein's...
Yeah this is classic AZ, some 80's type break and real lyrics... Although I'm not really feelin the synth, that sounds like bagpipes or some shit, not me. The beat is tight though, nice drums/patterns... 7/10.
wow...my fav MC still killin it!...AZ is one of the best period!!!...kant wait 4 this album...
Honestly I expect nothing less than greatness from Az.
He's been around forever. He's affiliated with the best in the Biz. Has a million stories to tell, plus whether most of all are willing to admit it or not....he's definitely one of the best doin' it....
If you're a NAS fan then you should definitely have no problems at all with AZ.
~Be Eazy!
For ya'll looking for a sick AZ track, check "Rather Unique" and Nas ft. Az "Life's A B!tch" he goes hard in both songs, also one of my fav az joints is "Mo Money Mo Murder" Az ft Nas. AZ sick trustttt.
One Of The Last Real Rappers Alive...... love all his beats ...... tight track it is fire
www.myspace.com/godoftheghetto
nice track. oh yeah the south does suck
typical AZ can't complain, bt hope his new album is more of dat mafiaso shit, he does sum raw shit, his 1st album was a classic, this dude doesn't get enogh exposure
Da reason AZ is underrated is cuz people made him underrated, now go n buy his new album wen it comes out and support da dude
x2

it not his best track but i think dis shit iz straight..
beat is ridiculous...who produced this shit???

wait-n on album
FIRE!!! PERIOD END OF CONVERSATION...CANT WAIT FOR THE ALBUM TO DROP..IM ON LIKE WHITE ON RICE ON A PAPER PLATE WITH A PLASTIC FORK ON A CLOUDY DAY WITH A CUP OF MILK!!!
08 is going to be a good year in music, which shows me there is hope for the future
az tuff guess this his fallback joint. everything aint gone be fire but this is decent
AZ is that dude BUT if he comes with a track called fire id expect better from him dont get me wrong track was aiit but dis AZ man he needed 2 step his game up for dis track
THIS TRACK IS FIRE HIS DARTS IS SHARPER THAN EVER BUT HE HAS ALWAYS HAD A LAID BACK LYRCALL STYLE... I MET HIM IN LA HE'S A STAND UP DUDE HE AINT BIG HEADED HE'S REALLY DOWN TO EARTH FOR BEING A VET IN THE GAME.. IM A COP HIS ALBUM SUPPORT THE REAL!!!!

AZ and a snowstorm and you can literally travel back in time to 1994
AZ did aii on this. But yeh def feel like I'm back in 1994.
wow. AZ makin a kome back. bout time. the game missed him.
az meant what he said when he said this is the truth... i could bump this till 20013 az is commin back stronger and harder he's not dead..
