[@michaeldavis8800]

Nas and AZ is A alikes. They remind me of each other. AZ definitely didn't get the respect he deserved for his caliber of flow and style.

[@michaeldavis8800]

Leolyon00 No doubt.....Aziatic is a super classic.

[@doyle8721]

I'll take az over nas, nas is a snake and an agent.

[@Kapil-Patel]

'rather unique' ;)

[@arlindselimi5170]

your wrong az even sold more! Quiet money baby

[@mirumotsuyasuke8327]

He gets the respect that he deserves, just from a different source.

[@mitchellknight2538]

Is it me, or has AZ always had a young sounding voice over the years?

[@krazejhaha]

I don't know what it is but being from London I always felt that New York rappers always sounded young but the soul will be old and wise if that makes sense

[@mitchellknight2538]

@@krazejhaha It makes perfect sense.

Facts

[@Ferrucci_1666]

AZ got thrown under the bus in the business sense. In my opinion AZ is in the same category as Jay Z, Nas, Big & Pac.

[@jaya2476]

I completely agree! He's so underrated!

[@josephreyes4198]

Az one of the best ,my opinion better then big, just never got the shine, but he is a goat

AZ is a sick ass lyricist and so underrated. The only mark against him is his beat selection. As brilliant he is as an artist, some of his beats are cringeworthy

@@hendeozbur9916 as far as dope lyricists? I def don't consider Dr Dre one. His rhymes are written for him. But you have Black Thought, Nas, Elzhi to name a few

[@hendeozbur9916]

@@grinchoi1 oh yeah, def not him lol. Nice to see Elzhi. I slept on him for too long. Pun is my favorite lyricists. His 5-10 second runs in songs are next to untouchable to me. Only Ra, G, 3k etc. Are in that realm. Runs are everything from a lyricists to me. Just that quick burst of extra dope wordplay/rhymes. It's amazing. It's not everything, but it's a huge part. Feel me? And I love black thought.

[@thdoom81]

"AZ tells ( tells us or maybe explains ) why he never left his hear tin brooklyn"? so he never left his heart in Brooklyn or did he leave his hear tin BK? please bet upload videos and construct a proper title
