[coryzane1]

[jetz561]

AZ A ANIMAL

[daboss88100]

A lyrical BEAST, but production never quite seems to match his skills...

[unclegusyo]

@daboss88100 what about when premo produces him?

[daboss88100]

@unclegusyo I really feel when PREMO produces just about ANYBODY!!! Lol. Now, what would be interesting, if Premo could produce an ENTIRE ALBUM for AZ??? That would be nice...

[jamil921]

Nas and AZ....best

[DineCoalition207]

stone cold rebel

[s103jr]

i'm the meaning of divinity only death can finish me my will is unstoppable i know what and what not to do u aint ready for what i got for you i'm an entertainer you hate rap i can change yah

[hungtienboi]

AZ is an animal at lyrical skills. MCs should be careful when he gets loose

[fleshnbone187]

"You never seen a man die til' you see a man die" Ill reference there, AZ.

Excellent song with that aside.

[CCooke3]

"im falling and i cant turn back." i heard the same shit sampled in immortal technique's dance with the devil.

[3Prophet]

@CCooke3 thats a line from Prodigy off "survival of the fittest" song...he's actually the most sampled rappper.

[Dooke80]

This Is "The Format"'s Big Brother right here.

[joshua1813]

where has this nigga been i heard him on a few tracks wit nas and they were beast once together

[Jonny19112]

This is ill.

Curren$y ripped this beat too.

[Tripp393]

The difference between the way AZ samples and the way other rappers do(especially today) is that he shows understanding of hood-history. While every rapper thinks they're something new ans special, AZ knows they're not and that it's always been like this. This life is repeated by many before him and after him. He uses the samples to show that the way he feels has been felt before by other people, and will continue so. He makes his songs into surreal time-capsules containing learned knowledge.

[Tripp393]

If the truth aint me then the truth can't BE!

[mexces]

Why the fuck is little wayne mentioned in every video of all the true emcees. AZ, BIG L, IMMORTAL TECHNIQUE, RAEKWON, CORMEGA, BIG PUN...why must his name,which clearly dictates his height in the rap game (little wayne), appear in every video ? he is being pimped by the music label fuck that nigga.

[mashun19]

10 crack commandments Notorious B.I.G

[del4sel]

It's real how he uses samples of artists from his hood

[Skurai477]

AZ is the beast, his flow rapes the beat

[platinum108]

[SiDwAyZShOoTa]

@platinum108 yo u can get curren$y's version on here its basically the same look up curren$y animal instrumental homie

[ThaSkyhighatrist]

too much realness in this shit

[josuev]

i hate when people say the most slept on.if your listening to it who are you reffering to? the tight jean hipster cats? they will never hear this shit,so really as long as we dont sleep on this shit is all good!

[studentism]

Truth, but dude's nice enough to be heard/respected by a much wider audience--even within the Hip-Hop community. I mean, just look at the view count compared to Life's a Bitch. Probably not the fairest comparison but you get the idea.

[skigh45]

iT mAdE Me An aNiMAl

[sheemsheem]

[jerzricanboy]

i know i heard the chime sound on 0:10 before in another song..but i can remember

[billtimore]

me too man, and its killing me that i can't remember. if you find out where its from hit this comment back.

[jerzricanboy]

[lachon91]

wtf no its not...curren$y used this instrumental to spit on

[jerzricanboy]

im talking bout the chime sound. not the whole instrumental

[brooklynTheKid]

Az is the Best Rapper of in my Opinion he go in on every track

[lachon91]

yea hes one of the most slept on lyricist of all time him pharoahe and black thought...seriously!!!

[Mcnair52]

This album in itself although released in 2006 was a fucking classic.

[roronora]

Shit, this is TOOOO much of a tune

[zrandeye]

Thats solid, AZ is true hip hop.

[CHIHPDzLKK]

AZ MY DUDE THIS NIGGA GO HARD SON

[DurnMadLs7]

Statik Selektah choped and screwed a Biggie sample in this beat... Stait from the streets of MA

[shiimshiim]

Dont forgot Nasty!

[saint1o1]

yes i know that but thats during the 90s

in the 90s illmatic was considered hip hop

now its lil waynes lollipop

im saying that hes not popular now because of the quality and sound of the music

[PNobleDaTruth]

I NEED DIS INSTRUMENTAL

[saint1o1]

the reason he didnt blow up is because people dont listen to this kind of rap anymore

its all that lil wayne bullshit

if A.Z blew up hed stay true to himself

the problem is he wont blow up till people realize what true hip hop is

[ry494]

yo ferreal this dude is prolly the most smoothest lyricist of all time yooo im happy this dude didnt blow up if he did he might not have been droppin hott shit like this

[lukaslooper]

Rap these days aint about feelings no more its just all about how fucking rich they are, back in the 90 when Gangster rap was on its peak,every body who was poor could hold on to there lyrics and could feel beter when the days were stressin and now hiphop as it was is fading away or else dying because of people like lil wayne en soulja boy there shit aint about writing good lyrics no more its all about making money and lots of it.

[lukaslooper]

the funny thing is when you look at these comments there is really no hating unlike 50 cent's comments.

[druwitattitude]

that's cause people hate success. AZ never really went mainstream.

[PNobleDaTruth]

Where's the instrumental to this?

[chaaoos]

he fucking rips this shit. one of AZ's best I can think of, and I know a good bit of his stuff. he just rips it on this one. and that BIG sample - classic.

[tsmaron]

One of the best songs from him as oppose to lollipop

Wow retards listen to that shit actually...They'll never kno bout` real sheit

[koma075]

[AllahReal]

Anyone know the instrumental to this with the samples of biggie?

[aubDyer2]

The big sample is the 10 crack commandments.

[aubDyer2]

It's a shame he's easily top 10 but no one knows who he is.

[raphy96]

I'm 15 and i first heard az wen i was 13 when i started likin nas. I looked up illmatic. Without that i wouldn't kno who he is and thats a shame cause he is mad nice.

[SillyRichard]

The Format was a dope album. AZ & NAS Hip Hop savior!
