AZ is the best rapper in history
 

Go ahead and try name a song that might prove me wrong. Listen to Never Change, Ho Happy Jackie, Life's A Bitch or Sugar Hill and see if you still think so.

AZ is the most underrated and I will ensure he gets his props (as the blacks say) starting from 2+2 then the world.

Re: AZ is the best rapper in history
 

AZ is less good than many rappers (including most of the Wu-Tang Clan).

AZ < KRS-One
AZ < Rakim
AZ < Nas
AZ < Wu-Tang
AZ < Black Thought
AZ < Rass Kas
and so on...

WHO IN THE WORLD IS AK?

BIG SLICK RAPPA?

Re: AZ is the best rapper in history
 

AZ is definitely the most underrated Emcee of all time. His work is definitely more consistent than Nas,

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love Nas but he's completely hit-or-miss. If he wasn't so convinced that he was still in the hood after years of being a millionaire then he might be up there. At least AZ is real. On the same note, Kingdom Come is super underrated becuase Jay-Z is finally honest and rapping about what he really is. It' real and a great album.

The only other ones close on your list are KRS-1 and Rakim who I admit are awesome but AZ is just ridiculous.

There is no other rapper who I am in awe of every time I hear him. AZ is like the Cornell or Vedder of rap but he's underrated.

P.S. I really love Nas and he's #2 on my list but his songs are either great ar awful. AZ is consistently awesome.

P.P.S. This is just a small debate between me and you. I'm always glad to see someone who has good taste in hip-hop instread of Nelly [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img].

I don't know who that is.

A good analogy is that AZ is to hio-hop and SE is to BBV/4L.

"You know you know me and that love still remains
So thru the fame, thru the fire and the flames
I adapt to the pain, real [censored] do the same
And though we homies and we no longer hang
You know you know me and that love still remains"

Re: AZ is the best rapper in history
 

ill see if i can find his mixtape cd that he made. i think you will like it.

ill pm you when/if i find it.

Re: AZ is the best rapper in history
 

I mentioned AZ in one of the older Best Mc's thread and got flamed for it.

Re: AZ is the best rapper in history
 

Dude, AZ's second album was absolute ASS. His first album was pretty good though, but not classic by any means.

As for the Nas/AZ comparison though, I stand by it. I still think Nas trumps AZ with ease, even considering several years of totally mediocre work inbetween Illmatic and Stillmatic.

Re: AZ is the best rapper in history
 

I see your point, AZ is sick and very underrated.. But Big L is even more underrated and much better than AZ imo. And btw, Illmatic alone makes Nas a better rapper than AZ.

Re: AZ is the best rapper in history
 

AZ is probably among the most underated rappers of all time, but to call him the best is absurd. I love AZ, Aziatic and Doe or Die are certainly his 2 best IMO, but the only knock on AZ is that he was always better on other people's albums than on his own, which is unfortunately true.

FWIW MC Juice is very, very good, but more underground, and I doubt that's what OP was talking about. I would definitely recommend looking up the "Tupac Diss Freestyle" by MC Juice, in which he doesn't call out Pac by name, but it's a great track none the less (there is a debate as to whether or not it's actually a freestyle). He was at one point ranked the #2 freestyle artist in the world back when I used to follow that stuff, but it's been a number of years since I was really big into underground/ freestyles

Ya big L is sick as well. Both underrated. Speaking of NAS and AZ, I think Cormega is pretty good as well.

Cormega is another great MC who gets no respect.

Re: AZ is the best rapper in history
 

AZ is/was ok. Nas is mediocre. Nelly is mediocre. Big L was well better than any of those...Cormega is ok...I dunno, I'd take Shells & Joe Budden over any of em, but that's just me.

Re: AZ is the best rapper in history
 

Big L never realeased a good album. Yeah he had sick punchlines but his records were filled with FFwable crap.

Most underrated? I can agree.
Best Lyricist? Maybe
Best rapper? I don't know. To hard for me to put ONE rapper as the best ever.

edit: I still listen to Doe or Die all the way through. That album is crack.

Z-ro is the best rapper right now, next to 2 pac best rapper ever hands down. Damn close to 2 pac too.

Re: AZ is the best rapper in history
 

its so ridic how some of the best mc's out there havent even been mentioned, yet AZ is underated? dont get me wrong he has a smooth flow, and i def appreciate his talent, but to think he even compares to people like Black Thought, Gift-o-Gab, Talib, Jedi Mind Tricks, Dilated Peoples, jus isnt fair to AZ.

fwiw: just imo

Re: AZ is the best rapper in history
 

AZ is the guy on Life's a Bitch with Nas right? Yeah I like him.

Re: AZ is the best rapper in history
 

yeah he kills nas's verse on that song which doesnt happen often
