he isn't saying shit

[@AnonymousUser568]

Definition of humble

[@criminalminded6480]

AZ ain’t wit none of the BS, True definition of a real nicca. Quiet money and low key He found his niche.

[@DavidPeck]

AZ being humble, out the way, just focusing on the music, and living his own life really has them confused lol

[@justflowin2708]

AZ don’t miss. This type of perseverance and BOLDness this Man got is a Blessing. What he speaks is pure truth, nothing else. God bless this brotha 🙏🏽👊🏽

[@prof3ssor178]

I see AZ I automatically think of the 90s every since a lil kid 30 years later still doin his thing.. Hip-Hop legend 💐

[@NewDave]

I never thought about the fact that AZ didn't really have beef with anybody. But, that's not a bad thing. He's universally respected.

[@righteousmasculine]

That’s how you wanna go through life. The way az pen game is a lot of rappers don’t want to step in that fire the way he carry himself alot of people love him.

[@jigjones936]

AZ wasn’t willing to sell is soul to devil or public scrutiny. He real, stayed in his on lane and made a living. He probably ain’t flying private but he ain’t flying coach. So in my eyes he good. Still one of my fav verses ever .. lifes a bish

[@PDro11]

To me, AZ to NYC and HipHop is what Andre 3000 is to ATL and HipHop. Two individuals that remain low key, stay in their lane and are honestly bar for bar among the best to ever do it, but are usually not in the conversation simply because they are a given. Talib said that years ago about 3000. I agree whole heartedly with that assessment and i think AZ also belong in that category. Never heard wack songs or verses, he spits with a mastery you dont hear common even among veteran rappers and he never gets caught up in BS.

[@williamreeljr100]

Nas and AZ always been my favorite dudes on how smooth and laid back they was plus had the bars to go with they swag

[@TheRealLeonardWashington]

One of the most underrated emcees ever. Aziatic still in rotation 21 years later Side note: AZ must’ve forgot he got dissed by E-40 too on “Record Haters”. 50 definitely wasn’t the only one lol

[@diamondwest35]

E-40 crazy. But it shows how relevant the diss was - lol

[@jman1562001]

​@@diamondwest35AZ had a response to that too....I remember seeing it. Was a misunderstanding on 40s part but AZ war ready if you looking to spar. Plus AZ done worked with a lot of rappers, little brother, Mac 10, cl smooth, etc.

[@univeralafrikan]

AZ said on another clip that rap was just a hobby at the time when he got with Nas, but the way he spit that verse on "Life's A Bitch" sounded like he was a pro in the booth. He is mad modest about his talent. Was listening to that song today both his and Nas' verse was crazy. Definitely one of my favorite songs of that album and easily top ten collabs of all time.

[@jmckeev765]

it's crazy how AZ dont get his flowers like the other rappers in the game. the dude is so underrated. he's got the wordplay and his delivery of rhymes is always off the hook, like effortlessly cool you dig? i dunno who i can compare him to.

[@jasonnicholson175]

Holy Sh!t MEO and AZ...AZ...YES AZ! He don't do interviews! This Is Must See for real Hip Hop Heads and those who appreciate a great Pen! #MathHoffa #AZ #MEO

[@Tampertownmediagroup]

The reason AZ never responded is probably because he’s about that action.

[@PDro11]

Which is why he's respected. He even said in this interview he felt if he had gotten involved with that he'd have taken it too far and it would have gone outside of rap. That's being strategic. Sometimes silence is the best answer, especially when you know yourself all too well.

[@pakmanrblokk]

He definitely responded tho

[@DariusFoster-bu5kw]

Perfect switch it up with the Intro Math 🔥🔥🔥 Sounds more like you in your Zone just spittin

Yo AZ literally played himself in his role in "Belly" 😂

[@da1nonlywilliams245]

How he played himself. What should he have done. Better yet what would you have done. Throw your newborn daughter on the ground and shot it out with Sincere over something that has nothing to do with you. I would've did the same thing. I'm bout to blow dunn. Lol

[@lyndelljohnson5022]

50 said something about AZ in the song "What If" "If I put out bullsh*t joints like AZ, Every chance niggas get, they try to play me." AZ lo key responded on "Ski Mask freestyle". AZ lives the best life. Lo key but they know you.
