Az Gimme Yours Ft nas

[cruz4der]

sample from MINNIE RIPERTON - Here we go at about 30s in. Brings a tear to my eye to see artists like AZ with only 85k views and far less talented artists with millions...

[Rjjr510]

O.c...word of life and this Doe or die album are heavily slept on..this is one of the smoothest illest rap songs ever made

[NOSIDDa0043]

huge fan of az! you guys might really like my raps if you dig a deep, complex lyrical style. check out my channel!! peace.

[HappyHustlen]

what album is this off

[ShadowXFX1]

@HappyHustlen doe or die 1995

[blinkblinkblinkkdd]

So far I've listened to this song over 60 times. Plus, I am setting the first verse as video ringtone :)

[blinkblinkblinkkdd]

2pac would be proud.

[PARKS387]

This song is ill!

[ThePieeaters1]

i wish he could gimme another album with him and nas

[wuisforthechildren]

@ThePieeaters1 I wouldn't mind that. If Kanye and Jigga could do an album together, why not Nas and AZ?

[JahQuan518]

@wuisforthechildren hell yeah... NAS/AZ album...wit Dr.DRE Producing the tracks...smh im satisfied just thinkin bout it

[ImXample]

@JahQuan518 minus the DRE producing, yea that would be dope, but dre is an 40 year old sell-out. maybe if it was back in the days of NWA i'd be down.:D

[JahQuan518]

@ImXample i said that cause it bring back a kind of nostalgia from the FIRM days...if he did at least SOME of the tracks id be satisfied

[drewgilchrist]

Ima cry when he retire smh LOL I swear

[jerry1982ism]

AZ & OC most Underrated. #FACT

[bejitah]

Yo AZ & MCs of his caliber as few as there are, are why I truly love Hip Hop. Yet another well above average MC who deserved & should have blown up but didn't. Makes you wonder doesn't it? like WTF happen to Mainstream Hip Hop?

[thesouthrapsucks]

Fuk lil wanye gay homo .. gucci drake tha cake rick ross cop fuck radio fuck b.e.t fuck puffy that snake fuck

[YoungFootz94]

1 person never heard illmatic (Life's A Bitch)

[TheTupacDedication]

that nas hook is flawless, takes me away from this bs, timeless...Can't explain the vibe this kind of NY shit gives me

In no order

AZ

Big L

Nas

Rakim

Krs One

(MY top 5 NY rappers, Pac started his rap shit in oakland, wasn't NY vibe)

[mctroll89]

@TheTupacDedication great list, fuck an order. they're all legends.

[songotenz02]

AZ's flow was RIDICULOUS. I feel happy to have grown up during the 90s being 11 when this cane out :D

[helpcentervideos]

@songotenz02 @lucky!

[TheOnelastcast]

im with all yall i hate new skool and crap but they do go through most of the crap that they rap about and yuh cant jus call em fake unless yuh truly kno em

[923killa]

The things he explain in 1 song is dudes whole albums in this hip hop world today.....7/19/2011

[mrswagnificent26]

[Sauldini]

FACTS::

Song:: KiLLeD

AZ::HALL OF FAMER..Does NOT gET his CreDit

HiP HoP now:: SUCKS

[FaceColey]

i didnt know this song had a video...

[thecj29]

Rap these days is too influenced by techno music.

[urbaaby]

HE NEED TO COME AND START HIS FLOW IN THE BAY AREA,WE FEEL HIM HERE,NEED MORE OUT RESEACH,LIKE 50 CENT DID

[MounGwadloup]

From which song this one has been sampled? I would like to know.

[rabidninja]

i could listen to the ill production alone. the lyrics are a bonus

[lisaray101]

Az should re-release this song hiphop needs this.

[Substii]

This is straight from wiki: In a top 10 countdown of the 10 Most Underappreciated Rappers—Most Underrated Rappers of All Time by About.Com, AZ was listed as number one on the list.

Thumbs up if ya think this is true!

[lordsupremegod7]

@Substii az is the most underrated....

[Keltic619]

CLASSY

[UltraDOG17]

i guess America dont like Good Music anymore

how upsetting 4real homez

[betekvs]

AZ is way too underrated!!

[Alias363]

you didn't have to crop the video soo much, you could of just asked me for the video without my logo, damn!!!!!

[Talentz92]

Yo, it's hard to show resistance when money-gettin niggas

need my assistance to stock figures, beyond non-existence

Fuck keepin my distance, cos bein poor produced persistence

Plus plea's, a hundred G's, I had me blockin out of jail centres

I'm recognised by the illest of individuals

Killers and criminals, even willies that's really into jewels

But still sceptic on who I cling to

Cos every single nigga that swing thru, ain't my man just cos we mingle

THESE LYRICS ARE CRAZZZYYYY.

[daboss000]

@Talentz92 yea he murdered his whole first verse along that nigga AZ is greatest that ever did it no fucking bull

[CNDigital]

Im glad to have been alive when this first came out. 90's hiphop is burned into my brain, i hear it in my head even when there is no stereo playing it.

[illest22]

PETE ROCK

[TheMr2cool]

az is probably the most underated rapper in the game.

[TSJ2345]

Oh good hip hop, what happened to you? No one has a code or morals these days

[MegaRollerblade]

2 don't like this wtf

[TSJ2345]

@MegaRollerblade the two people who don't like this are justin bieber and aarron carter

[Sentinel2k1]

the 2010 remake to this sucks ass, AZ's doing that stupid "slow flow" bullshit everyone else is, so sad the original is far superior

[daboss000]

@Sentinel2k1 def agree we that he needs to hit that old school flow again joint was classic flow! yea now he doing that slow shyt  but i still fucks with him cause lyrics is still on point

[rhamses730]

this track is incredible that beat is so smooth and Sosa just performs surgery over it ...

[bigmini11]

yo this man is right main az one of the best this nigga must be more populair!

[PrinceApocalypse]

rap city! damn i miss joe clair.....

[ruffselektah]

Timeless.

[Smileyfacedkiller]

this was one of the illest albums ever. It put me in this foggy daze. Hard to explain, but the way AZ was spitting on this album was outerworldly.

People always say Big Pun had the best flow, but I think Az is up there as having the best flow in rap history.

[MOMOg33]

@Smileyfacedkiller In Eminem's first album infinite he has a dope flow just like AZ

[TheHellWitYa]

@MOMOg33 but AZ is real good at word play

[MOMOg33]

@TheHellWitYa I think big L might have a doper flow though his song put it on is amazing

[titodibiase]

PEACE TO THE GOD AZ.

[tyluhhh1]

WHO THA FUCK DISLIKED THIS... SQUARE UP SON!

[Ediskturb]

urbandade skateboards

[thecj29]

late night listening, for some deep thinking

[illnoble]

Hey fo real the DO OR DIE Album like Gimme Yours had better and deep songs than Nas Illmatic believe that

[GEasy5]

@illnoble thats y both of them on a track together equals best rap duo ever

[Seany06]

AZ was the shit back then but ever since Pieces of a Man i've generally not been into him, crap production and watered down lyricisim..

[GEasy5]

Gimmie

Jus Gimmie

Gimmie dat old hip hop back

Jus Gimmie

I dont even want the world

Jus give me dat old hip hop back

[Prophet1121]

@MiLt0wNmAdE wow..just wow

[liamemac]

pure 90s hip hop no mistake

[WeedTrixxx]

love nas on the hook in this song. so fuckin tight, just gimme!! true that i thought you knew that?? effortless perfection.

[BAYAREAKID58]

shit never knew he had a video for this , this song goes hard !!

[coolzoky]

I saw an interview where AZ speaks on real issues he sees him self as a realist and other east side MCs as fakes like 50 cent, which is why they beefed at one point.. even he aint tight with nas the two prolly got into an argument seems theyd both be suborn.. AZ don't need sympathy though, he's living a true life on the streets, none of that glitz n glamor shhhh n u gotta respect that

[xXKillaBGXx]

@coolzoky Where can I see this?

[chuckieboy1988]

@xXKillaBGXx it's a XXL interview

[CrunkKing232]

@coolzoky i would rather live  a luxurious lifestyle

[tstabled]

This Song Came Out When I Was Comin Up In 1995 I Was Born in 1993 and Began Rappin In 1995-1999

T

[DeadEthiks]

@tstabled began rapping when you were 2?

[onunazodnem]

damn pete rock killed it with this beat

i just hope doe or die 2 will be as classic as the original

[IdoubleL888]

Listen to cookin soul remix.Them tracks are nice

[seanpull]

[PUSH050RaLo]

[hungryandrew]

I prefer the remix

[DiggumSmack77]

[Shakuru21]

so fucking smooth, real music, az & nas one of the best duets ever !

[USuckMyMuthaFucknAss]

this nigga az should be much more popular than he is now...he ripped this shit man.. whats wrong wit the world??

[Daybreakhasme]

@USuckMyMuthaFucknAss, man if ppl like AZ was over the airwaves. Kids would have to write papers again, listen to their parents. It would be too peaceful in schools. and we cant have that right??

Sad state of affairs.

[nojusticenoweed]

@USuckMyMuthaFucknAss too good for the most peoples

[MrNegroPlease666]

@USuckMyMuthaFucknAss The world is filled with pieces of shit with bad taste.

[mfay617]

@USuckMyMuthaFucknAss hell ya he tears every song hes in

[LEZTHEGOON]

@USuckMyMuthaFucknAss he should be more popular then jay z when i tell people about az they be sayin who that u talking bout jay z. that shit be pissing me the fuck off 4 real. he mad underrated

[Slayerhead17]

@USuckMyMuthaFucknAss people these days are fake and stupid. this shit is too deep for them to comprehend, they need something that's as superficial as they are; that way they can relate.

[ThePieeaters1]

@USuckMyMuthaFucknAss

[6zeros2commaz]

@USuckMyMuthaFucknAss I agree i will even say he's better than nas but thats just my opinion 

[blade401k]

dis is 1 of da best AZ songs ever hands down if somebody hate dis song tell em shut the fuck up and they dont know real rap/hip-hop and tell em get get off of wayne gucci and rap artists affliated wit em

[Trippar]

the realest...sample brings tears

[rickypfromnc]

can u feel this track??? real music

[noborusan]

I feel it.

[ClauBiscia]

I love this song!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey!? ..want some introspective rap? so, digit CLAU.B and listen to "Confusione"; if you want: give a comment!

Peace and respect worldwide from Sardegna!

[S1ncerelyYours]

nas and az need to do an album together. please!!! hiphop needs yall. it would really be something huge

[187OnThemBitches]

az is something special and doe or die is 1 of my favourite albums

[Gunslinger2667]

AZ doesn't want the fame and shit hes words were "fuck hip hop, as long as the streets accept me"

[keroone1]

I heard this song 2 days ago and I fell in love with it immediately

[360blunt]

@keroone1 better late then never bro tired of the fakeness

[bustamo321]

@keroone1 worrd me too i heard this song when i was in 5th grade

[BlackJackNapier]

This Minnie sample is wonderfully crafted...

[eyesmayshine]

movin' cleverly with intentions of longevity.

[eyesmayshine]

this track is so fucking raw! i'll be bumpin' this shit 'till the day that i die.

[wembleyhed1]

wat a tune arrrrr

[pureflavor]

jigga, nas, and AZ should make an album called " three headed monster " for real - Hip Hop would appreciate the hell out of that ............ jay z would have to come back with that 90's swag tho.

[purdue2009]

keep dreaming nigga..it would be nice but it ain't gonna happen.

[eyesmayshine]

i hear that, man.

[ak47523]

that would be ridiculous my friend something that the powers that eb would never allow but everythung produced by pete rock n primo with something unreleased by dilla

[Nastalgic99]

How come az hasn't work with pete rock since doe or die and why did he start working with premo since A.W.O.L.. Thats my only thing about az he doesn't pick god beat which leads th him getting overlooked. He is still a top 5 lyricist though.

[jaylyrikal]

maybe it cossts too much money to work with pete and primo so he prolly just gets cats he can afford or something...if i was him i would let pete and preme do my whole album if i could afford it

[Nastalgic99]

U probably right, the reason az isn't well know like nas is the production on his albums are weak and the beats don't really compliment his flow. AZ is on off my favs but the production is awful

[doyle8721]

negative! az sales atleast 300,000 plus! each album so he has money! he owns his own label i guess he's just keeping it street feel me god ?

[davedewolfe1988]

working with dudes like primo or pete rock wouldn't make him less street though lol, it's weird he doesn't have more big named producers on his albums, cause AZ is one of the best MCs around, and probably the most underrated

[sanni0812]

Fuck keepin my distance, cos bein poor produced persistence

Plus plea's, a hundred G's, I had me blockin out of jail centres

I'm recognised by the illest of individuals

Killers and criminals, even willies that's really into jewels

But still sceptic on who I cling to

Cos every single nigga that swing thru, ain't my man just cos we

mingle

THE REALEST LINE

AZ THE TRUTH !!!!!!!!

[purdue2009]

too much snake shit...I lust for a 850 deluxe and until I touch a million plus ain't much left to discuss.

[sanni0812]

Drug investments, a street thug's plug, the insurance, but informers

they had you wanted for warrants 'fore you get enourmous

Life's a performance so players play wit endurance

cos from war sense, any villain's willing to get more intense

[GoGetter18]

Damn never seen that footage

Great Joint

[FonzoEscobar]

wow i never seen dis vid til 2day

[Bronx3353]

Me2

[rickypfromnc]

[LikzSfd]

Classic Hip Hop!

[irockmoonman]

incredible

[ministryofsumthing]

i luv hip hop

[bilbreezyy]

does anyone know why az uses parts of lyrics in different songs?

[IProphetI]

a lot of rappers do

[qmyturn]

Cause he wants too....?

[RyanFendley]

i agree i noticed that, AZ does it, hes a wicked rapper just he does it quite a bit.

[JoseCasado162]

This is that real cool laid back shit..

This is just some shit you bump when you get home tired from school or work and no ones home but you..

then you call a girl up and tell her to swing over the crib..

and as you wait for her.. twist a sack of buddah and light it up!!

lollll!

but, all jokes aside.. this is some real ass song!

[jerelny]

@JoseCasado162 word. that shit you bump after a long day. in my case though, then you call up a girl and tell her to come by and she says no. then you find yourself going to sleep at 10pm on a friday night and waking up alone...

[Talentz92]

@JoseCasado162 hahaa yh this is definately one of those songs

[goodmuzik101]

@JoseCasado162

feel u 100% on dat nigga lol

[OGKaine]

"They tried to break us but all it did was just make us travel across acres for papers bonafide money takers"

many will never know the power of those words

word up the nigga az is ill god

[rellik4life]

damn my nigga AZ got lyrics for days

[RyanFendley]

i reckon this is AZ´s best song, i mean he Ripped " Life´s A Bitch - Nas " in pieces but this has something special in it.

[DaLatinAbstract]

Memories!!We Need real hip-hop music back on the radio!none of this candy lollipop music u have today.. what ever happened to AZ?

[DomJNice]

AZ still doin his thang, he aint left yet, he jus put out an album in 2008.

[TheVisualiza]

actually he put 4 albums out in 2008.

undeniable in april 1st

n4l mixtape in august 5th

final call lost tapes in early november

anthology remix and b-sides in late november

[nevawrong]

i feel u, but its still not the same as the 80'S & 90's when we had tons of rappers from NEWYORK going GOLD & PLATINUM. from RAKIM, KRS-1, BIG, BIG-L, EPMD, MOBBDEEP, BOOT CAMP CLIK, ONYX, NAUGHT BY NATURE, M.O.P., DMX, THE LOX, BIG DADDY KANE, KOOL G.RAP, PETE R & CL SMOOTH, SALT N PEPA, RUN-DMC, JAY-Z, CAPONE N NORREE, FAT-JOE, LL COOL J, MC LYTE, MC GERONIMO, AZ, FOXY BROWN, LIL KIM, DAS EFX, BRAND NUBIAN,& a lot more. what happened 2 all those NY rappers?, they were hot,now they cant go GOLD

[rabidninja]

lol couple of those dudes still pretty famous eesoecially jay z there

[excaliba360]

Yeah I think where Jay beat nas and Az at was the cross over songs...I think Nas could have and so with AZ they just didn't it would have been a 3headed monster when BIG died but they took diff paths

[RyanFendley]

i prefer this to the album version

[emoneybagz23]

AZ made a video for this track? I only remember seeing videos for "Sugar Hill" and "Doe or Die". I enjoy watching this video. Peace!

[PrEtTyFaTGiRL79]

Yeah i remember when Ralph McDaniels premiered this on Video Music Box..if you a N.Y.C head than you know that show...lol, this is classic but i like the remix better!

[RyanFendley]

Classic song , killer beat , killer lyrics a pure 10/10 song

[nevawrong]

DAMN, NEWYORK RAP HAS FELL OFF THRU THE YEARS

early 1980's - RUN-DMC era

late 1980's - RAKIM era

early 1990's - WUTANG CLAN era

late 1990's - JAY-Z era

early 2000's - 50CENT, G-UNIT era

late 2000's - NOBODY'S era

what the hell happened to NEWYORK rappers?, the NY fans stopped supporting them, thats what happened. thats why LIL WAYNE goes PLATINUM, & NAS dont even go GOLD :( :( :(

[xXKillaBGXx]

Westcoast ran the early 1990s imo.

[nevawrong]

it went both ways equally partner

[xXKillaBGXx]

I dunno.

[reelm4f1486]

love the video...

feels like something out of a scorsese movie...

[Xaltus]

This song is dope. Love the oldschool feel.

Theres a remix of this song at Beatport, didn't hear the original til now.

X

[RapListener1]

good track

p.s* the south killed hip hop, all the music sucks.

[decoimages]

I forgot about this vid...so sick. Classic...best non-duo to ever bless a mic...

[liljojoro]

AZ, the most underated rapper ever...hearing the shit from today just pisses me off.

[deedeedeehehe]

I feel ya homy...all this bullshit snap songs and dance music for high school kids...rap ain what it used to b

[killapone]

ny99a u deserve to get smack by a faggot cocks go snap ur fingers and stick ur thump up ur ass

[bludLaceDwitreefer]

"yo its hard to show persistence when money gettin niggas need my assitance to stack figures beyond non existenc. fuk keepin my distance cuz bein poor produce percistenc"

thats fukin hard

[Dresknowsbest]

"plus a 100 geez will help me block out a jail sentence."

[XXSTR8RYDAHXX]

[premium3000]

Yo AZ got some smooth videos no doubt.

[qnznyc]
