    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.

    Not forgetting where he's from only adds to his legacy, wether it's a documentary, a book, or through interviews, as long as it's honest dialogue, he'll be looked at and Lauded as one of the best in the Rap game, not only because of his stake in it, but because you could see through his roots that he honestly lived what he Lyrically expressed......

    Love AZ forever your music will never leave my playlist. So underrated its not even funny. I always liked az more than nas but im not knocking the king at all. I wish that duo lasted past the firm. One of the Best tag teams ever.
