Now this is a legend...
Word up son!! The g-o-d AZ is back haters!! Good to hear some real hip-hop again instead of that Gille Da Kid shit. Nigga got a random white chick in his video!!
AZ is a great. I'm definitely planning on copping his album. We gotta support real hip hop so that the best will stick around. AZ murked every track man. Dude's wordplay is serious.
LMAO at Big Z.
Word up son??? I heard Nas say that on Illmatic, lol. Tell me New York niggas don't still talk like that.
who the fuck r u? and u is wrong with you?
Nicca is you high??? This that 95-97 dope boy flow..is you insane? Nigga thats AZ not Ja Rule...man you bout to get your Hip Hop privy's revoked...Man when I hear this shit I wanna go dig out my Firm CD!! GET IT TOGETHER BRUH!
How yall gon trash dude for saying this is boring. Everybody outside of NY just about, say yall music is boring. Its not bad, but its monotonic (if that's a word) rappers, talking over a beat with rhythm. We was just talkin about music like this in my music class yesterday. What did the professor call it??? Boring
im gonna buy this one
I'm getting that 96' feel again. AZ is definatly a legend. In all honesty AZ can STILL spit like a monster, that sampler was bangin (sound like some classic shit), beats and lyrics are on point.
*Hope he does a joint wit Nas*
he does
OH 4sho
Damn I feelin this shit... this is for the grown ups only!!!! If you don't respect this then you don't respect hip hop... This is that real music.. AZ show these niggas why hip hop needs you!!!!..

Yea fam u right shyt sound like a classic or near classic AZ teaching these young boys how to do it, striaght like dat hes better than alot of peoples favorite rappers one of the most underrated rappers. i dont understand why ni99az dont respect lyrics deez days its a damn shame
DaGod Im with ya bruh! AZ aint been slackin' a minute..Man yall dont forget who was sitting at the Round Table in Dead Presidents! Yep ya boy AZ was sitting right among Hip Hop Legends..so this shouldnt even come as a shock that his album would be so cold!
yeah layed it down
sounds nice..
co-sign dagod on that one, when I heard AZ's voice all I could hear was "WE THE FLYEST GANGSTAS"
I like this. Real laid back...Better than The Format IMO, especially with tht one joint he has with Nasty Nas ('bout time)
A-Z SOSA!!!!!!!!

TAKE SOME TIME YOU IGNANT BASTARD TO LISTEN TO ALL OF THE CLASSICS INSTEAD OF THIS BUBBLE GUM SOULJA BOY BULLSHIT! See Philly, all he needs is some encouragement to do the right thing! Lurch you some shit for not knowing who AZ is man for real..you need to run to your local music store with about hmmm lets say a good $100(cuz CD prices are outrageous now)..and pick up 5 CD's and this will be your crash course into REAL HIP HOP!...trust me there are more CD's than the ones Im gonna list but these should just skim you through the era's and get you up to speed..

Well these should be enought to get you started...I took my time to help you get yourself on track with hip hop so you wont be on here looking like a damn fool any more. If your going to talk Hip Hop, atleast while Im around and gotta read what you write, please show the art some respect and know your shit!
what this nigga talking bout i don't know shit about the old school? "Curtis Blow" try Kurtis blow you fuckin fake ass bitch....why don't you mention some albums every nigga don't know
one of the most underrated rappers ever!!!!!!11
AZ a beast, been a beast, i'm not gonna lie and say this is the shit cuz it's new, plus i remember coppin' Doe or Die, and i remember first time i heard Affirmitive Action and that's the AZ that stays in my ride nice to see him doin' his thing though
OMG!!!!!...this shits serious!...i aint even need a sampler, i already knew this was gon be a classic, cant wait to add this to my AZ Album collection...
when does this album drop????
Feb 5th
yeee i'm feeling this still....supposedly feb 5.....sounds nice to me
when is this album due
read much?
dis album gunna b good! but wheres the promotion? i aint even know he was dropping!
AZ BIG UP!
NEWYORK GON GET IT POPIN DISYEAR HEAR ME!
az is simply one of the greatest lyricist that ever lived (also my personal favorite) but i am disappointed in the lack of promotion of this album. i decided to cop this album before even hearing the sampler (call it dick riding if u want i dont give a fuck) but hearing this just makes me look forward to the release date of this lp even more. if we dont support and buy these kinds of albums artists will not b very motivated to go to the lab if no one supports true lyricism. go cop that undeniable feb 5/08. peace
True that.
Liked AZ ever since I heard his incredible verse on Life's a bitch. I can see why NaS chose AZ to feature on Illmatic.
What song is the beat around the 9:10 ish mark based on? I know it's by Jackson 5 but I don't know which song. :/
First rap album I'm coppin' this year! WHEN does it drop????
feb 5th go cop it
Now watch A only do like 30, 000 first week... everybody talkin bout how HOT he is, and he's REAL hip-hop, and blah blah blah... but we'll see who'll put their $13 (or less) where their mouths are! ...
4sho i feel that
I respect the fuck outta AZ!
This muthafucka has CONSITENTLY been one of the sharpest lyricists around...FOREVER! But has yet to gain any of the success and acknowledgement that he deserves.
He's definitely doing this shit for the LOVE of Hip Hop and not success or money... because he's not really getting any of it!
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII will buy this shit!
Shit...I've only purchaes 2 AZ cd's in my whole life... but not because I didnt like him...and not because of the bootlegs being soo soo tempting (lol). But because I always wind up with someone elses AZ cd in my stash! Lol...
~Be Eazy!
oh yea thats who i let hold my cd...ok i want them back wiz.....lol
deee-troit....
i ve bought all az shits hes one of my fav of all time!!!
i said it once and im a say it again AZ IS DAT NIGGA!
HOLY SHIT he shittin on niggas mang, DAM. Honestly sounds like a classic, ima cop diss regardless if da WHOLE album leaks, cuz we gotta support niggas like AZ, Nas, Lupe, etc, etc. Hip Hop STAND UP LIKE U LOST UR CHAIRS!!
Buy the fuckin album don't be a fag and download it.
go kill yourself.
AZ is that dude!
AZ is tha legend hahaha
AZ & Cormega = Most underrated
