I LOVE HIS SWAGGER AND HE’S ONE OF MY INSPIRATIONS AS A LYRACIST…KEEP KILLIN’ ‘EM AZ

11/7/06…THE FORMAT

first

THATZ A GOOD LOOK ON AZ!I WISH HIM AND NAS WOULD DO AN ALBUM!

AZ IS A REAL ASS NIGGA. ANYBODY WHO HASN’T PEEPED HIS SKILLS IS SLEEPING.

HIP HOP NEEDS MORE AZ’S
NOT THESE DUMB MUFUCKAS COMIN OUT TODAY,THERE IS NO INTELLIGENCE IN RAP NO MORE, ARTIST DONT MAKE YOU THINK, ITS BLING THIS FUCK THAT, I GOT THIS ILL FUCK YO BITCH, ILL KILL YOU, IGOT WEIGHT, SHE GOTTA FAT ASS AND THATS IT
NO SUBSTANCE!!!
HIP HOP HAS TRULY DUMMIED DOWN
WE NEED THE INTELLECTUAL MUFUCKAS TO STEP THERE GAME AND STOP COMPLAININ!!!

AZ is that dude in a gangsta movie who walks away with everything: the money, the girl, his life, and his dignity. He has one of the best swaggers in the game. Flow is crazy. Thought provoking. Yet He is always left off the top Emcees list, when in reality he is up there with Jay-Z and Nasir. I’m copping the album fa show..and look forward to working with mister Sosa in the future!!!

AZ is one of the ill niggas in the game. AZIATIC is a classic if u ask me. That was the only album that came out in 2002 that i aint beef wit a nigga if they thought the album was better than GANGSTER AND A GENTLEMAN. the only reason i thought STYLES shit was betta is because he had way more tracks. gotta love AZ tho. He dat nigga for real.

DONT MEAN TO TAKE THE SPOTLIGHT FROM AZ BUT I MENTIONED STYLES TALKIN BOUT THE ALBUMS FROM 2002. DONT 4GET 11/14/06 TIME IS MONEY. SP THA GHOST. U CAN COP GAME’S SHIT THE WEEK AFTER HOV SHIT DROP ON 11/21/06. SORRY GAME I NO YO SHIT GON BE FIRE BUT WE BEEN WAITIN FOR THESE SHITS TOO LONG

One of the best still going and he reps BK!!!

100

I LIKED AZATIC

I feel AZ, he’s underrated but that’s the game.

AZ is that dude….All of his albums are nice…never fallen off

AZ is one of the illest definetly. Shit, if you can hold your own on tracks with Nasir and be respected you gotta love it. He’s one of the few that can HANDLE A PREMO beat. The list, in my opinon goes,
1. Nas
2. Jay-z
3. AZ
4. Royce 59

The Format joint is crazy…i will get AZ album as I pass by Jay-z’s Kingdom Come…and the answer to the question do we want a AZ/Nas album?

YES

U got 2 respect dude he knows hes ill but not recognized still he aint bitter. Hes top 5 dead or alive niggas will see later on in retrospective. mysapce.com/ninohnewjack myspace.com/ninohnewjack

I’m really feeling my man AZ right now. I definitely can get with him when he talks about New York’s drought. It’ll be back there and if not there’s other intellectual artists in other parts of the country that’ll ressurect Hip Hop and show love and respect the place that created it. About that Jibbs nigga though, he’s a young boy that needs his ass whooped 4 saying that wack ass line and meaning that shit. Bitch nigga should get his mouth stuffed with that chain.

[...] 10/11: You can read my interview with AZ at XXLMag.com. [...]

I listented to the promo album with 10 tracks, all 10 were amazing too bad no matter how good the album is XXL won’t give him credit, he’ll get an L… F the polotics

Do we want another AZ/Nas Collabo???
HELL YES MAKE AN ALBUM 2GETHA

AZ is amongst the top 5 to ever do it.

You will notice that not a lot of the new comers to hip hop:: correction rap seem not to have posted a comment. Because only those familiar with A.Z’s style will give him the props he deserve. AZ dont need to worry about being relevant today because he still has core listeners out there. Dont conform to this jaded rap world A.Z..you have always been talkin the talk and walking the walk of what these youngins just getting hip to today..

AZ is the man hands down, most respect to AZ, always consistent, never contradicts himself, stays real, stays hip hop all day..AZ is the truth top 5 mcs early

He still got it, I have to give him that much because I respect him as an artist, but he’s one of those people Busta talking about on “when a legend falls off”

“If I put out bullshit joints like AZ/Niggaz in the hood they would try to play me” -50 cent-

That isn’t a diss, he’s giving him publicity, just hope he can capitalize off it.

LAME!!!

I aint heard the album yet,but all AZ hardest shit is with NAS.
FUCKIT!

Always a good time for an AZ and Nas Collabo. No region hatred from this artist either, one classy guy. “I’m going to hold the fans down, Billboard means nothing.” REAL TALK!

AZ is one of the only artist to stay true to his craft and never wavier. He has a true classic style that lays at the roots of Hip-Hop music. He never disappoints his fans and is always consistent.

The billboard charts would mess you whole sh*t up and AZ realizes this.

AZ I love how the cat flow he is underated. I never bought one of his albums I couldn’t always get with the production. I might have to rethink that motive. AZ & Nas untouchable the chemsity is amazing. I hope it happen again. I’ll will be in line to cop. Two of the compeletes artist’s in the game. Bar None! Style, Topics, Content, Intelligence, and
Boss Flow. These new booty M.C. think they the best thing since slice bread.
And really lacking can’t tell them shit. Spoiled little mothafuckas done made to much money to soon. The money don’t mean you good. They laced with a false since of superiority. The rap fans have got dumber. That’s got to be it. AZ keep droping those jewels the fans needs the enlightment. With that swagger.

This nigga is just Nyce;point blank, period.

AZ the truth…

AZ left tha door open….Ill shut it 4 ya…SLAM

Az is a legend and Dominicans respect him and all the Trinitarios all around the world .Stay up A.Z D.P.L got u boy

AZ has had to be the one of the most talented brothers with the worst luck. It’s Sad when damn near every album he makes gets little or no press from their respective labels it makes me wonder what he is doing wrong. AZ needs some kind of push (hint, hint Nas) to get a REAL deal and promotion.

Yo AZ, I salute you fam, str8 up.. General style.. Good to hear bruhs talkin positive… I respect ya movements, keep em movin… I saw a dvd where they asked u bout 50 and instead of sayn tha obvious (tha nigga can’t fck wit cha) u kept it real str8 forward and told dude jus chill, u aint on it…

Keep it movin famo

And that junt “this is life” from aziatic stays on repeat….

Az/nas hell yea we want it famo… tha flyest…

Peace king!

Pieces of a man had some of the flyest shit that i ever heard. BK 4 Life. Prolly a better lyracist than Hova

Yeah that Nas/AZ collabo album is a long time comin…
But whats this from Carmen(Nas babymoms) that AZ tried to holla at her?

AZ Is that nigga. Stay up son.

man this dude never get his respect you know i get on this website and most of the time someone can hate but this dude you rally cant hate on really who has he had beef with who has he disrespected. I see people will always find a reason to hate man grow up i think there working on a cure for that hate just be strong it will be out of yall system (jetblackha and c-rob)its plan to see you are one minded people who likes the machine thats behind this commercial rap. I hate to say this but nas has sold in to the bull man where are we going as a people when they used something we made to control us something i learned tho you cant keep a man down without stayin down with him.

AZ always brings the definition of HIP HOP!!!

[...] Another one of my favorite MCs, Queensbridge’s own — AZ sat down with me for an interview at XXLMag.com about his forthcoming new album The Format (due in November), how he hopes to work with Nas in the future, and how the game has changed. [...]

AZ the best lyricist period. Way to underrated. Nas/AZ album hell ya.

AZ is one of few rappers when you hear his lyrics, it actually puts positive thoughts in your mind. All his songs are usually about self-improvement not killing your own kind and stuff like that. ‘Nuff Respect.

Yo! BIG UPS to AZ hes been Real since day one and no won can stop his Swag.. I wish him the best of luck cause hip hip/rap game need more dudes like him!! Real MuthaFucka right there!!

AZ IS MY ALL TIME FAVORITE ARTIST MAN HE ONE OF THE LYRICTIST…HIM A NAS DEF NEED TO DO AN ALBUM 2GETHER…IT SUCKS HOW A DUDE WITH SUCH GREAT TALENT NEVER GETS AND REAL PROMOTION AND GETS A PLATINUM ALBUM BUT WHAT CAN U EXCPECT HIP-HOPS JUST ALL LAFFY TAFFY BULLSHIT NAS AND AZ NEED TO SAVE HIP HOP WHEN THEY ALBUMS COME OUT

Nobodies mentioned 9 Lives,
What ‘Cha Day About’(personal favorite) and ‘At Night’ were off the chain.
I feel Aziatic was better(classic),but don’t sleep on this LP.

A Nas and AZ collabo over nothing but Premier beats would be the best thing to happen to hip hop since Illmatic.

suga hill baby

AZ, I’ll be a fan of yours forever. I think you’ve helped me see the world through the 5% nation perspective. You and Nas dropped that dime “life’s a bitch” and I have followed you both since. Plus, you need to keep the crazies real with your “format”. Get at ya man in Chi-Town via Nap-town (Indy). Peace. T.Gardner

Who cares

AZ SICK HE KEPTS IT FLY AND SPITS FIRE ONE OF THE BEST TO COME OUT OF BK NAS GET YOUR BOY THE FIRM IS NOT DEAD PUT THE EGOS TO THE SIDE AND BLOW HIPHOP THE FUCK UP / AZ,NAS.FOXY,AND HELL YES MEGA FIRE M.F

Ayo that Prince of the South cat is seriously on some other shit. AZ wouldn’t be that damn stupid 2 capitalize off of 50 saying his name. AZ made his mark and is still making music 4 the love of it and still making money. He don’t need no hatin’ ass nigga 2 help him with his career. It doesn’t even need help. I’d be lying if I said I don’t want a million bucks, but money ain’t everything. Niggaz get killed over that shit. In the music industry if u live 4 the dollar u will die 4 the dollar and so will your music.

AZ IS THAT NIGGA, THE BEST IN THE BUSINESS, HE WILL PRAVAIL THRU ALL THE WEATHER, AZ AND NAS SHOULD DO AN ALBULM TOGETHER, NAS IS MY FAVORITE RAPPER BUT I THINK HE MAY BE JEALOUS OF AZ FLOW TRUE TALK COMMENT IF U THINK IM WRONG

Its good to hear some positive news in hip hop for a change yo stick man is dope- New firm album?

“do people really want a nas-az callabo” - AZ

hell fucking yeah man they should defienetly start collabing together again

AZ Is Dope. He Shouldn’t Do A Collabo With Nas. Whenever Ppl Mention AZ, Its Not How Lyrically Tight He Is, But How “Life’s A Bitch” Was A Classic And How He Should Do Another Collabo With Nas. Stop Judgin’ Duke Off What He’s Done With Other Artists. Look @ His Solo Work, Classic.

Straight up, AZ is one of the best lyricist the game has ever offered. From Doe or Die to his previous cut A.W.O.L., he has stayed original, never watering down or sugar-coatiN or even contradicting himself as a person or artist period. Right now, realness is in the minority and as a unique individual, he remains one of that minority. As an artist myself, he has taught me alot. For him to be so underrated is undeserving, but death before dishonor, & respect before money. AZ sticks with this philosophy. This is one of those cats who brings the word “Art” & crafts it into his music know what I mean? Besides Jay-Z, Kanye, Common & Nas along with a few others right now, He’s one of those that helps put meaningful definition into Hip-Hop. Respect due to AZ. P.E.A.C.E.(Positive Education Always Corrects Errors. Thats from him to the world)

Oh Yeah, I almost forgot, & Im still waitiN for the AZ/Nas collabo album.

AZ IS A TOP 30 MC OF ALL TIME. YOU CANT MENTION 90′S NEW YORK HIP HOP WITHOUT SAYING AZ.

The Format is set to be release don 7th November, support real hip-hop, the album come’s with a DVD with back stage footage ETC!!

AZ, The Most Under Rated Out There. He’s Been Doin’ It For Many, & Before Many. Not Only That But His Is Also Strong Lyriclly. He Deserves More But Excepts Less. AZ Since 93′.

Better than 98.8% of the niggas making rap money today!

A.Z. is one of my favorite artist. I think with a good label,promotion,and a team he can do his thing. the dis track or verse that nas put out there should’ve never hit the surface. they should get back in the studio and start making some raw tracks. Because if them 2 start back rippin shit, alot of people gone be hattin. but if not then A.Z. just gone have 2 go hard on niggas true story! but with a good label and people backin him up i think he’ll do just fine.

Keep making hits AZ stay up fool!!!!

Beyond any shadow of a doubt, AZ is one of the best lyricists in hip hop history….truly one of the “top five dead or alive”.

Sosa has dropped some of the best freestyle tracks I have ever heard.

You can count on one hand the other lyricists in the game right now that can even attempt to compete with Sosa….and most would fail trying.

I believe that the greatest obstacles to Sosa’s success over the years have been poor marketing and weak musical production. He has got to get quality production on his tracks.

His lyrics have never been weak, and when he is really focused his flow is truly one of the best in history.
I have heard a few tracks off the upcoming album, The Format….and they are all strong tracks with production that is better than what was on his previos albums.

I also think he can promote himself better by doing tracks with some of the other top artists in the game. Doing tracks with other artists that can really spit keeps your style hot, because if you don’t mix it up with other artists occasionally, people often just get bored with the same style.

Sosa can hold his own in the game for years to come….he just has to keep everything focused and keep a strong support team behind him.

AZ top 5 dead or alive. truth

AZ DESERVES PLATINUM STATUS FROM THE HOOD.

I co-sign all the positive comments. What more can be said?! The cat is one of the best in this hip-hop shit. I got all his albums & he still spit flames. Nov. 7 “The Format” I gotsta have it!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[...] AZ-Interview @ XXLmag.com. Nas sollte sich interviewtechnisch ein Beispiel nehmen an seinem Lil’ Homie. [...]

A you know we what that album stop playing motherfucker i fuck’s with you.

Az, love tha music! U 1 of tha BEST yet. Real Spit!

Yo AZ been my nigga fuck any nigga hatin ya’ll bitchass niggaz always talkin bout niggaz can’t rap N they B sum of the best

AZ is the shit. anyone who says different is a fuckin’ idiot and they don’t know shit about Hip Hop. believe it!

Fuck who eva dissing AZ. I got time to look 4 no names to put em on the front line. Anyways He been counted down and out even if he was standing. Fuck the niggas hatin. Hope him and Nas get they shit together, I haven’t heard they shit in a while. AZ should be in the top 20 on everybodies list. Da Fuck lil niggas!

Wow I thought I was the only nigga screamin quiet money iz the Anthem. Its ez for me to say that doe or die and pieces of a man are the most inspirational albums out 4 real niggaz. Peep that and apply that 2 ya life.

im waz coppin dis album since ‘Life’s A Bitch’.

Az.. Man what can I say bout the nigga he be spittin some real shit. Thats what I miss is real stories like that J, B.I.G.,AZ. Real hustler music man NY hip hop is the shit they have real lyrics we miss it in the rap game. Bring it back start wit AZ. holla (84 boy)

AZ is definitely on some “top 5 dead or alive” shit. He doesn’t have to make crossover pop records or snap his fingers and do jiggly dances….this nigga drops jewels.

NY TOP 10 BEST MC REAL MC
1]2PAC=RIP
2]BIG=RIP

4]JAY-Z=THE HOV
5]AZ=THE REALIST
6]LL COOL J=THE G.O.A.T
7]SCARFACE=THE BEST
8]jadakiss=THE NICE MC
9]Big-L= DIED TOO SOON
10]RAKIM=THE GOD

BONUS
PAPOOSE= THE NEXT GENARETION

Yeah, I’d definitely cop that Nas / AZ album. And if they got Premo to handle the production, Hip-Hop would definitely rise from the grave!!!

AZIATIC was and is the shit. Classic in my opinion…

“My life’s deep, it coincides with the way that you rap / I hate it, when them commentators say that you back / you never left, you was always years ahead of the rest / my baby’s father even felt your style, he said you was best.”

–AZ, Fanmail

Y’ALL all ready know…..Nas is my dude but he took a swan dive lyrically (AND IT HURTS THE SHIT OUT OF ME) AZ,SOSA,THE VISULIZA..GOD DAMN..kid is consistent with his since day one. I would love to see them 2 dudes do a whole album over Premo,Pete Rock,Dre,Just Blaze,Havoc AND of course Alchemist.They’re cut from the same cloth.That Salaam Remi track “Very Serious”(which should of been on God Son album but, took it off) with them 2 going back to back man…..It would give these cats a definite Milestone to it’s predecessor Illmatic!!!

WOW FINNALLY AN INTERVIEW WHERE THE MAN CAN SPEAK WISDOM TO YOU SHEEPLES, IM SORRY BUT THE GAME NEEDS AZ, THEY NEED MORE CATS LIKE HIM, LOOK AT THE GARBAGE THAT COMES OUT NOWADAYS, NO GUIDANCE FOR THE YOUTH, THESE LITTLE TEENY BOPPERS RUNNING AROUND BODYING EACH OTHER CAUSE THEY GOT CRUNK OR TI TOLD EM IT WAS COOL TO KILL YOUR HOMEBOY OVER A BRICK…..HAHA WAKE UP AMERICA AND WAKE UP YOU FUCKING IDIOTS, AZ HERE, ONE OF THE GREATEST OF ALL TIMES, A LEADER, NEVER A FOLLOWER, ARTICULATE, SMOOTH, REAL, THE ALBUM IS MURDER, I COPPED IT YESTERDAY AND IT STAYS IN ROTATION, I LOOK FORWARD TO HIPHOPS RESSURECTION AND WORKING WITH THIS LEGEND ONE DAY
