"MUSIC IS A REFLECTION OF WHAT HAPPENS IN THE STREETS!!!" AZ GIVES HIS FINAL THOUGHTS

[@VC-zh5vq]

“I’m not where I wanna be, but I’m far from where I was…” WHOA 🔥

[@righteousmasculine]

Man Mecca really gave AZ his flowers and spoke all facts. AZ would crush a lot of rappers soul if he acted a fool.

[@inspirationalnomad]

Respect AZ. Thank you for being You 🙏✌️

[@TheBulletzgottishow20]

Az plays his position and he still relevant enough to get big dawgs on collaboration songs his last album he had Dave east T pain Conway the machine Rick Ross and 2 chainz on it

[@danielwellner7004]

Honest question, did he pay for those features? I dont know how that works?

[@2sixteentalktv]

Half a mill was hard af on The Firm album

[@jaye5926]

AZ = LEGEND 👑

[@Youdatguy]

AZ said exactly what we think as viewers. It’s a comfortable platform for the artist to express their past thoughts and current experiences without fear of judgement. We all just want to hear the perspectives of their lives. 🙏

[@ethereal-synchronicity-444]

"Loving the game you gave me, Loving my name is AZ, never sold millions but fxck it I'm here to save the babies" - AZ The hook on that song says it all! Good to see AZ get his flowers whilst he is here to receive them. RIP Half A Mil. An Alien level MC.

He has aged so well. He is still fine and smooth 😍😍😍.

[@swift7693]

Love 4 the respect they gave AZ at end and respect to AZ for being a solid guy that just happens to be one of best to ever do it just because he not loud he doesn't get the flowers he deserves

[@jman1562001]

Pieces of a Black Man, my thoughts travel, trapped on savage land its like taboo/stuck in time/so many young brothers busting 9s/some serving state bids cause they hustle blind......So many jewels AZ dropped. He may not have impacted the masses but the true heads got the wisdom. Good to see him on big platforms speaking his truth.

[@WelderB1Family]

AZ stands on his morals and principles.

[@Tls-ONGodsQuest7]

A REAL ONE TRUE INDEED...AZ!

[@blissdad13]

A man who looks you in the eye and tells you he's not budging means that shyt.

Yoo.. I always thought from the AWOL album "AZ" stood for "Anthony Cruz - AZ" The Asiatic black man!! 💯

THE LEGENDARY HALF A MIL!!!!! Damn wished he stayed with the LEGENDARY AZ. They made such incredible records together.

[@DayParkz]

this whole time I thought he got his rap name because his real name is Anthony cruZ and i thought it was the beginning and ending of his name

[@a-aura]

Why can't it be both

[@ALexander-ue3kj]

It's both

[@true-n-living]

That’s basically what AZ said in so many words

AZ is the Denzel Washington of Hip Hop. Plays his position so well

I don't understand this comparison at all lol

[@ongod4667]

As an AZ fan. This ain’t it.

[@Tls-ONGodsQuest7]

TRUE INDEED!!

[@eastend.zulu.]

I get it and I agree lol

[@iliyano567]

As How he conducts himself I can seen but not as an MC as he seen he is not agreed as the greatest by the masses!! He is definitely top 20!!

[@Days-lw8sw]

Finally someone shouted out Half-A-Mill 💪🏾💪🏾 dude was crazy 🔥🔥

[@booshine187]

Rip king

[@righteousmasculine]

Yep nas spit about him on magic 3. Saying about the dude that killed him. Also az got a song on awol talking about the dude who killed half a mil. They didn’t drop his name tho

[@evanashby6032]

​@@righteousmasculinehold up so he didn't commit suicide? Whats the story?

[@Kur7t]

Half-A-Mil was that guy for real!

[@b.l.frazer8548]

I been an AZ fan from the beginning. He's definitely underrated. I don't think he has been versatile, which may be why he's not considered a top name MC. However, he stays in his zone and is still a dangerous MC. not to be played with.

[@Jophlo78]

"Since the genesis, paraphernalia circle my premises Poor images, project life drained my innocence I saw the worst genocide, I guess the world is cursed My old earth identified, though her soul is for the church She prayed for peace, hopin' I'm saved before she lay deceased..." AZ❗❗❗

I want to hear an AZ and OC album produced all by Dre, Hi Tek or Pete Rock. With guests appearances from Ras Kass, Jay Elect, Cee-Lo, BT, Lil Fame, GZA, J Cole, Kendrick and Lupe.

[@TheFUNKSTARR]

AZ and OC heavyweights, with a pen game still sharper than ever! Those three producers would be my exact pick, I’d throw in Bink! in there too.

[@BlkOMNI]

Lol! This is a big ask.

I'm from Texas and me and my friends was rocking with az since middle school. We all knew he could out do rapper's on their own songs. One of the best flows we ever heard.

Got a style sick as hell,sicker than sickelcellomenia slaughter ya circultory like leukemia. Az really is the definition of a word smith,makes rap turn back to rythm and poetry

It's a shame that nobody on this platform, didn't ask AZ what was the writing and creative process like when he was recording the album DOE OR DIE..... Where are the questions about concerning songs like "Rather Unique" & "Mo Money Mo Murder" 😢......Damn Shame I tell ya...... Damn Shame

Sorry yall dropped the ball on this one there should have been more focus on his body of work once he wasn't going to get personal sometimes you have to know how to switch up
