AZ is one of the most underrated of all time in many ways. His lyrical flow, bar composition, and story telling ability is on another level.
AZ- The format is sick af.
Pieces of A Man and Aziatic were his best albums
Word..Dj Premier 🔥🔥
Yup there’s so many but I would go with the format next
Without question
The come up as well
AZ needs to be mentioned in top 10s
The Underateness is real ! That's not even a real word, but f**k it, lol.
He's def been in my top 10 for a minute. One of Brooklyn's finest.
He's a top 5 for me
Pete Rock on the beat and scratches. Legend producer.🔥🤙🏼❤️
Pete Rock killed the beat and they scratching is impeccable!
AZ’s verse on “Life’s a Bitch is arguably the best opening verse of all time. Doe or Die album is a bonafide classic
True! I still have that verse memorized 25 years later. Lol that's classic shit
Agreed..
Facts!!!
Nah P got the best openers of all time “I put my lifetime in between these papers lines’ is just one
AZ flow is so damn smooth. He def is one of most underrated MC's of the 90s. He is nice for real!
AZ & Pete Rock, can't fail!
AZ "Uncut Raw" First track on this same album. Absolute must.
No doubt 💪🏾
You aint never lie son
Lyrically AZ could hang with anybody as you can see his style mimics Rakim easily a top ten MC
Anybody!!! Real talk!
actually his main influence was Kool G Rap he said it himself... listen again and think about it
I used to get laughed at for saying az was spitting just as hard as nas
@@kanidanieldariusdad he was though. He was always Nas’ equal on a track. ALWAYS!!
@@kanidanieldariusdad Cormega spits harder than Nas
I remember when the second verse of this song was the verse of the month in the Source magazine back in the days. Just from reading his verse without actually hearing the song made me go to the record store that day and buy this single. Classic.
AZ was Nas’s right hand man basically when Cormega went to jail. Nas and Cormega fell out because Steve Stoute got him out of the Firm. Nas, AZ, Foxy and Cormega was the original Firm group. Cormega and Nas fell out for years over that situation. Cormega was lacing Nas in diss records. He gave Jay-Z the info he needed to diss him on the Takeover. But back to AZ, he’s one of the greatest to touch the mic. Got to react to Life’s a Bitch with Nas & AZ.
AZ been cold since day 1. Here's some more AZ to check out: Gimme Yours, Mo Money Mo Murder ft. Nas, Sugar Hill, Uncut Raw, Your World Don't Stop, Gimme Yours ft. Nas, A.W.O.L., Animal, At Night, Paradise (Life), man... I could go on.
And yeah, check out others' suggestions on Cormega, too. His newer shit is hot also.
you didnt mention sugar hill lol..thats his tightest track all time
@@LITMOVIESCENES I can't do Isley Brothers loops.
@@verbone lol..ok..the remix is the banger..thats not isley is it?
@@LITMOVIESCENES Didn't mess with the Stylistics loop either lol. Don't get me wrong, he bodied it lyrically as he always does, but those two beats didn't do it for me. The two samples had been used too many times by then.
AZ and Nas - Mo Money Mo Murda
And then The Diplomats - Real Niggas (using the same sample as AZ and Nas Mo Money Mo Murda)
Glad I was raised in the 90s when songs like this first came out. Az, Nas, Wu-Tang, Mobb Deep, Pac, Big L, Pun, etc. helped us teens to navigate the streets. For us growing up in that 90s era, this was survival music. And it was extra dope cause we didn’t have the internet to just grab these songs & albums, you actually had to go in the store and buy them, or know somebody that had the tape/cd, and made you a dub (a copy). I miss those days. Hiphop was really respected & represented on a much higher level. ✌🏾
Hiphop community in the 90s can't be topped just we miss them real time arthists
AZ is my number one and always has been. This cat has everything I crave. Filthy jazz/Motown sampled beats, insane lyrical skill and cadence. The pinnacle of OG hip hop. That Queens/Brooklyn scene. The best. Queens Bridge 41st side .
AZ & Styles P.
"The Hardest"
🔥
I was fortunate, that I was born in the late 70's and when I was coming of age, late teens and my 20's, was during the golden age of hip hop 1993 -- 2003, so much great content
Me too 78. Song give me goosebumps 😊
Az is one of the more underrated MCs. His beat selection, his story telling ability and his word game is so dope 🎙💯. Az feat Nas - How Ya Living is a very dope track
"Sick as hell sicker than sickle cell.....anemia"
First off that's a tongue twister which I always enjoy...but also the way he broke up the sentence chaining them across two bars. Not exactly a new innovative technique but neither is the dunk yet when I see one executed perfectly in a basketball game I still get up off my seat.
YO KingAhmadTv, THE SAME FEELING THAT U ARE EXPERIENCING NOW IS THE SAME FEELING I FELT IN '95 WHEN THIS FIRST CAME OUT & I STILL GET THAT FEELING TODAY. THE TRUE DEFINITION OF "TIMELESS MUSIC"!🎶💯
feel you bro
@@90srapclassics NO DOUBT!✊🏿
AZs flow is identical to Nas, he’s just got a very different voice. I mean this in a good way!
Frequent Nas collaborator. But he’s nice in he’s own. Sugar Hill. Someone said Format, that’s nice too.
Pure lyricist
AZ is underrated because; 1. Rapped with NAS
2. People thought he was from Queens.
3. Timeframe he finally released/ wack label.
But he’s truly a crown jewel and here’s why…..
He studied the God’s flow pattern extensively! Dope MC!!!!
AZ a legend inspired a lot of people like Eminem’s first album infinite was based off az style
AZ - "Problems"....you'll have the chorus stuck in your head for WEEKS
In all honesty, you need to just dive into AZ's full catalog; his features, solo projects, newer songs...clearly one of the 5-10 best to ever do it
The God Anthony Cruz aka AZ.. East NY stand up
You can see the kool g rap flow on AZ's songs. That's how influential kool g rap was
Peep game. That's Big Daddy Kane on the hook sample.
How AZ is not considered the greatest is beyond me, as he is no question the G.O.A.T
Please react to Heavy D.: “Don’t Curse” and Pete Rock and C.L. Smooth: T.R.O.Y. trust, you will not be disappointed!!!!
Wow, I would've thought he reviewed T.R.O.Y. already! Great song
Pete Rock did the beat his signature is putting his own vocals in the background.
Brooklyns own baby shoutout to East NY
I appreciate that you see why a lot of older cats not super impressed by Drake. Not that Drake ain’t got no tracks or music. He’s good and I get it for this generation that loves it but he just ain’t got nothing on the content side for me.
Your being nice. 90s hip hop everyone was spitting to be the best. You HAD to be original
AZ Doe or Die is a classic album and he just dropped Doe or Die II like yesterday or something
AZ so underrated
Facts 💯
Check out AZ and A+ on the track A + Z from the album The Latch Key Child. One of the most underrated albums from the '90's.
This piece... Perfect vibe to have some THC, and chill out with yours ❤️ This is the vibe.
AZ first appeared on Nas Illmatic album , he talk on the first track the Genesis then he rhyme on Life's A Bitch.
Pete Rock on the beat 🔥
SUPER LEGEND! Finally a reaction to my fav rapper all time right here! AZ one of the greatest and flyest mc's period! Too many weaker rappers get mentioned before this dude, THIS MAN IS DUE FOR SOME RESPECT! Hope u react to more of his shit like Problems, Your World Don't Stop (Buckwild Remix), The Come Up, Uncut Raw, At Night, The Format, it goes on! BIG THANK U FOR THIS HOMIE
Back when they used to play this on the radio in elementary, the day got a lil better
Appreciate this bro, You the only one reacting to AZ, ITS CRAZY, No other reactors!
Someone finally showing love to da man. Az . underrated legend. Nas aint put him on his features for nothing. When i go listen nas and az pieces its mainly for AZ verse
Thanks for doing this! I remember hearing this all the way back in 2001 in college and I felt like I was the only one who ever heard this. It's so cool that there are communities building around this.
AZ = legendary status 🍻
AZ & Pete Rock had a chemistry for 6 years before they made this. Check out Gimme Yours from the same album. They reconnected for AZ’s sequel to this album, Doe Or Die II, and made Check Me Out… STILL FLAMES!
Another sick video. Another vibe. Honestly the best AZ song besides Ho Happy Jackie.
Real hip hop, uncut. Wish it was still like this...
"My wordplay plays with the rays of ultraviolet" like whaaaaa
also Phone Tap produced by Dr Dre ft Nas AZ and Nature
This guy gets it. I’m 36 and always hated autotune when it came out when I was in HS. I grew up with poets.
It’s so fun for me because I know what’s coming lol, to see you then react to it is priceless
Ho Happy Jackie is one of his best songs man
I can't believe I missed this! One of the best songs I feel was ever made. Love AZ. Bro your channel is the best. I am sure I am many years older than you but your channel reminds me of being in middle school and high school cooling with the boom box and my boys analyze music just the way you do. Thank you bro and thank you to your parents for bringing you in this world. We need more humans like you out here
This album is legendary to true hip hop heads
One of the best tracks to grace the 90s
Goosebumps every time ❤
Ya GOTTA do Nas ft AZ - Life's a Bitch now! (also Affirmative action)
Az songs
Uncut raw
Hoe happy jackie
Seems that way
Undeniable
Problems
Yo!!! Uncut Raw is the shttt!!!
I’ve been listening to AZ since fall of ‘93 and to this day every time I listen 🎧 to him I hear something I’ve never heard before even if it’s on a track I’ve played 1000 times. No Capp.🥂
This whole album was fire still got the CD
AZ had a hand in writing foxy verse on affirmative action... Pete Rock made this beat.... do AZ & Nas Mo Money Mo Murder
Ayo King Ahmad, one of the reason why you enjoy Bars like these...............It could be you just "Rather Unique".
Blessings 2 You & Yours.....and may your 3rd Eye open even wider.
HIP HOP MUSIC 4 LIFE !!!!!
Every one sleeps on AZ he’s my favorite rapper of all time
you are a W man. I can binge this content. You really appreciate the craft and what hip hop is all about. Keep it up man. The reaction scene is dense rn, but you will shine through many others.
💙🤝
a great album nyc had so much talent and great artists at that time...
Pete Rock on the beat him and Dj Premier were dope around that time doing beats and remixes for everybody early and mid 90's they still are iconic and very respected in HipHop.
One of the most lyrical songs from top to bottom ever
AZ - I Just Want To Be There
Salute Younging! I love how you recognize the lyrical content of classic Hip Hop.
Rock that Sugar Hill!
AZ the GOAT in my opinion. He never got his dues.
A yo....l love your reaction videos brah. I'm soooooo glad you about to dig into your AZ bag!! He's top 5 lyrically. SERIOUSLY!! Do more AZ.......... you'll get a lot of views brother. Keep doing your thing!!
Whenever someone asks what’s my favorite rhyme in any song I always come back to “I got a style sick as hell sicker than sickle cell anemia slaughter your circulatory like leukemia,” when I first heard that shit when this came out I had to stop the tape and rewind. Yeah. Tape lol
I love that you listen to the old shit.. but if cats don't know the slang from back then, the meaning gets lost.. keep bumping these tracks.. this whole album is top-notch!!!
I swear to god best underground rapper in history
Doe or die is a classic album, underrated
Common - A Song for Assata
When that album dropped it was one of the greatest that year
You new name is officially Oldhead youngbul". Wise beyond your years kid!! Much love from Philly!
1995 was the best year for Hip Hop! 💯
One of the best lyricist of all time!!!!
Although he mostly started his career in late '95 nobody did it better than him...... '95 was AZ year
AZ - the format, the come up, i'm back, sugar hill
I loved this song. It was my personal theme song that year. Lol
AZ flow is smooth
The joint on this album was Uncut Raw.
My fave az song. Can’t go wrong with preemo!!!!
Wait! That’s Pete rock. Let’s me know I really loved this joint cuz I was super heavy on dj premier around the time this came out. I ain’t like nothing damn near if it wasn’t preemo. Lol.
the most underated rapper ever
Favorite Pete Rock beat is Straighten Out off of Mecca and the Soul Brother
Dope review✊🏾
Anyone of you hear that new 2021 AZ album? Dope, dope, dope!
Doe or Die is a top teir Album
We used to put them word together like fractals
Big Smooth - Hardcore Flava
Try AZ "Gimme Yours" the remix version, not the album version.
AZ- The Come Up
Pete Rock& INI- Fakin Jax
Cuban cigars and az. az and nas created the mafioso rap Era rapping about Don shit being a conigliere. Smooth as butter
Your right
