[julioholderbusiness]

[PAPACMASHUPS]

Its unreal how good this song is. his flow was one of the best of his era, a time when hip hop was at its finest. I wish he got the recognition he deserves

[Redboy1ism]

This tracks amps me up. word this song is like a battery in my back. Peace to the God AZ , for keeping it real.

[VinceVega187]

MOST UNDERRATED EMCEE OF ALL TIME!

[Brkrikka]

@VinceVega187 Right man!!!!!

[vanvechten25]

wow, after hearing this I'm speachless. Dude just left a chalk outline around the mic

[SlimTwisted]

This was my fave track on this album. Man this takes me back to 96. Awesome upload!

[utubemyspaceaim]

this is a 2pac flow.. kinda raw

[wh0am3ye]

AZs flow is insane on this one.

[TubeFreakification]

AZ must have one of the best flows I've ever heard.. This nigga's just so natural. No pretenses. Don't know what else I can say. Mic cord as an umbilical

[LupeF0rLife14]

He must use 100% of his brain to do this. He's the best i've ever heard in my 51 years of life.

[LilHopTheRapper]

i think this guy is better then 2pac, biggie, and eminem combined....

[zeecoblaze]

@LilHopTheRapper

u must have drank some rum mixed with acid for u to say such nonsense

[LilHopTheRapper]

@zeecoblaze haha. can 2pac mix syllables like this. you probally only like him cause hes "from the hood, and you can relate to him. BULLSHIT! it would be better if you could relate to him AND he has talent. i listen to him, but lets face it, most of his rhymes are elementary.

can biggie mix syllables? yes. he does a good job with it, but not as good as Eminem and AZ do it.

can eminem mix syllables like AZ? yes. they are my 2 fav rappers. but i think AZ barley wins when it comes to my favorite.

[ilkav16]

@LilHopTheRapper Based on his first album alone, AZ is easily better than 2Pac. Doe or Die is dope as fuck. However, the rest of his albums are pretty disappointing in comparison. I'm not on Pac's dick like everybody else, but I wouldn't be so sure about AZ being better. (but I like him more)

Eminem? 3 filthy albums, the rest were garbage. Wackest shit ever.

[calibar38]

@ilkav16 AZ's voice does him justice... listen to 'gangstarr - mostly the voice' and this explains it all... his accent on the mic is what does him justice.... although there are better rapers out there metaphorically speaking: Pharoh monch, Max B, O.C, Souls of mischief & Pete Rock/C.l JUST to name a few.. but his voice is better than all of theres...!!!! trust me i know what im saying.... o yeah and Jeru The Damaja...

[ilkav16]

@calibar38 MC= Move the Crowd. Flow and charisma are important, yeah I agree. But that's just one part of rapping. I already think that AZ is a dope MC and I have heard that Gang Starr song, by the way. So what are you trying to say? I would put Guru from Gang Starr (RIP) higher up on my list than AZ, by the way.

[intent100]

@ilkav16 gura was a deacent rapper listen to him without premier then u will see what i mean az is 100 times nicer

[ilkav16]

@intent100 Yeah, I agree, Guru would be nothing without Primo... but I feel the same way about AZ! He got some really nice production on this album, and never got close to that level again. I don't know, let me listen to my AZ and Gang Starr collections again.

[ninocrack888]

love this one right here .. he had to make more raw shit on his debut... doe or die is a classic, will go to the shop tomorow and buy it

[MrMacSleepy]

This Shit So Raw ! A Real Classic

[jaydeeforever1]

az went ham on this,straight up.

[xXKillaBGXx]

"Apart of nature/ Me want acres in Jamaica/ Puffin' exotic trees without seeds rolled up in leaf paper/ So exhale 'cause if I don't live to tell/ Then fuck it, farewell, I'll see the rest of y'all niggas in hell."

[Westernavekid18]

Sosa!! AZ snapped,blacked out, spazzed, ect..on dis!..classic shit..one of most best lyricist in hiphop period!

[MegaMytube09]

classic fuckin album son!

[zerominus]

if you listen to Jae Millz "the time is now" album scram jones is credited as the producer for a song called "lick off a shot" which shares the same beat as AZ - uncut raw which was produced by "loose" a decade before.

Producers need to stop biting not just artists.

[idropbombsnigga]

1:00-1:12 got daynmmmm....matter a fact whole song was live, AZ the god niggas yall needa get wit it

[fiftyEST]

Wicked (Y)

[3Prophet]

as we say in French this song is "FROM THE BUTCHERY"

[kneegrow2727]

I wouldn't put AZ in my top 5 favorite rappers, but I definitely think he's the most underrated.

[nuneswhite]

@kneegrow2727 I have analyzed this situation of top 5 current emcees and Black Thought is the only one who can match or exceed his wordplay, flow and variety of subject matter. If u can think of an emcee, i can break it down for you.

[kneegrow2727]

@nuneswhite I said "my top 5 favorite rappers" not "the best rappers". To me there's a big difference. In the top 5 I would also have to include Black Thought, Nas, Az, Andre 3000, Mos Def.

[nuneswhite]

@kneegrow2727 Nas? he's too inconsistent. I think Elzhi eats Nas any day. It seems whoever Pac called out got looked at by everyone.

[LupeF0rLife14]

Az isnt human. i put it on my life. How is he doing this?? Where the fuck is he now?? Doe or die is the most incredible album that ever was made. I swear to god.

[msnikish]

yo i loved this whole shit, then he kept dropping shit and it seemed like i was only one to give a fuck, niggas forgot him or underrated him, and he so dope , better than most cats

[bigsmokeish]

@msnikish u right

[twist2g22]

Peace. Just got my book published release date NOV 2010, titled "Memoirs of a Lyricist".

Would appreciate the support

[Mestographer]

this is straight up Big L's style

[kevindagame]

Message to you 4 Drake fans who clicked dislike. This is REAL HIP HOP

[doctoramuzikonline]

supa FYE! @djdoctora704

[lilochoa17]

smh...... self explainitory !!!

[espere22]

i love how he kinda quote's anne sexton, she said "exhale,.....and if i don't live to tell ,..i will see the best of you in Hell",.........

[ndeze]

this is how you start out an album

[drillasilla5]

LYRICAL SLAUGHTER

[6sk8er6]

how does this only have 55k views and lil wayne's "rap" has like 12 million..? and 3 people missed the like button

[jooks223]

Saw the man live@ the Middle East in Cambridge MA, 5 months ago. His breath control is the TRUTH ! Legandary MC for sure, one of the best to ever do it...

[tonebob3210]

What a track to open this Album love the slow start then the FUCK YOU!!! Then two crackin verses, CLASSIC!!!

[pierzy11]

Most underrated rapper of all time

[AllThingsFresh4Life]

i listen to all kinda of hiphop but AZ is to nasty to pass up. If you listen to any kinda of rap or hiphop you have to have az do or die in your collection

[JahRed24x]

This would be a DOPE song for the soundtrack of a bmx street or skateboard street video.. just imagine it.

[Punnch08]

how the fuck did we go from this dope shit to kanye west? damn i miss the old school..

[The1hoodrich87]

@Punnch08 why you say kanye west, his not bad actually kanye produced alot of dope beats and his a great mc. Way better then garbage like wayne drake wacka flacka, trust me kanye is above that shit. His problem was the death of his moms and gettin dumped by his girl, usin outotone. But without that, when his just rippin it, his dope.

[Punnch08]

@The1hoodrich87 Respect ur opinion, but I look at Kanye as just an ok producer and no mc. I think his success is mainly due to Jay co-signin him. His rhymes are mediocre, its more his delivery that got heads so mesmerized. Plus dude whined about not receivin 5 mics in the source and whined about Beyonce not gettin an award. And dude blew a perfect opportunity to say something profound after Katrina and we get "George Bush don't like black people" - wtf? I agree, but Damn.

[The1hoodrich87]

@Punnch08 i see what your sayin as weird as that sounds lol but Kanye is a dope lirycist. His no nas az or gza but he can hold his own when he wants too. You should listin to college drop out and check out the songs bad good ugly,classic two songs that are dope. Btw his new album is sounding dope too, i heard three tracks so far devil in a blue dress, dark fantasy and runaway, the single. It sounds good, idk bout the rest of that album. Im sure it will decent though.

[TheOneIshi]

Track is fire couldn't think of a better title than uncut raw for such a raw song.

[DownTRaiN2233]

what the fuck how ill is this shit?!

[WakeUpAndLive1967]

AZ is top 10 of all time at least

[MrOne1086]

KILLED IT 

[calibar38]

when does pac tear into the firm?? i know he laced nas in against all odds but thats about it...

[dschultz6072]

my faves:

wu-tang - 36 chambers

raekwon - cuban linx

nas - illmatic

gza - liquid swords

mobb deep - the infamous

this and reasonable doubt get the honorable mention.

it's just too bad having songs without hooks is like label suicide. this is where it's at. i think most of my favorite hiphop songs have no hooks...guillotine swordz, it ain't hard to tell, criminology, da mystery of chessboxin, 7th chamber, just to name a few.

[ruc1106]

Classic!

[LupeF0rLife14]

I Absolutly agree with chuckie!!! iT'S LIKE EVERY SONG IS HOTTER THAN THE LAST!! I really think he logically mastered the craft of rhyme,poetry, and hip-hop all in one!!

[chuckieboy1988]

@LupeF0rLife14 AZ spits what I am thinking

[chuckieboy1988]

The more I listen to this guy the more convinced I become that he is the best rapper alive

[Fee76Lawlus]

@chuckieboy1988 I wouldn't say all that!

[danityshowstopper]

@chuckieboy1988 yea def one of the best..

[TBPrecision]

@chuckieboy1988 nahh

[sportsdude18111]

@chuckieboy1988 there is no best but if any rapper out deserved to go platinum or double that didn't it was him. Nas souned better with him too.

[DameDaz]

@chuckieboy1988 YOU'RE EXACTLY RIGHT MY DUDE! THE BEST!!!

[trealionaire1]

@chuckieboy1988 man I agree, this dude is the truth and his latest album is all I listen to... 15th anniversary! Hes the best alive in my opinion!

[trealionaire1]

@chuckieboy1988 man I agree, this dude is the truth and his latest album is all I listen to... 15th anniversary! Hes the best alive in my opinion!

[meregeez]

THIS IS MY SHIT THIS TAKES ME BACC

[VirgilSJH]

All you guys sound like whiners I like AZ too but stop hating other rappers bitches.. live ur own life

[calibar38]

i wonder if 2Pac heard this album?

[tupacliveson1971]

@calibar38 pac would of helped him get in the game, unlike these other fake niggaz who cant even give no props 2 a real nice MC

[chosenxeno]

@calibar38 I would say Pac heard this since Khadafi (R.I.P.) sounds and raps almost like AZ

[chosenxeno]

@calibar38 I'm sure he did and he probaly like Kadafi(R.I.P.) because he sounds similar to AZ

[vtaycur]

@calibar38 if he did he'd probably shit himself lol

[DameDaz]

@calibar38 100% fact he did! AZ is the top 3 best rappers ever period! real reconize real!

[calibar38]

@DameDaz check out pete rock and cl smooth, a tribe called quest, main source & epmd.... as well blud...

[DameDaz]

@calibar38 OF COURSE HE DID, PAC KNOWS HE HAD NOTHING ON THIS NIGGA RIGHT HERE!

[lnino307]

[Capit0lGains]

[TheMagnificent73]

[rodas760]

[freshprince613]

[NOSWINEPLEASE]

[antisocialdemon21]

The lack of any Big Pun material (especially Capital Punishment ) kills these lists for me. More influential than most of the artists listed...Certainly more than ugh...Immortal Technique and Wordsworth. Thanks for posting.--777

[realitycheck87]

@antisocialdemon21 yea i agree. that album is like top 5 for me. shit, prolly top 3

[TheNerdGangster]

[luvkush29]

Don't Y'all Know About GROUP HOME, JERU the DAMAJA?

[hennylo68]

Az is on fire on this, probably the best lyricists ever.

[LupeF0rLife14]

This that shit! MAAAAAN I SWEAR NO ONE CAN SHIT ON AZ!!

[LupeF0rLife14]
