How AZ not known?

 

[Weazel]

How AZ not known?

..you tell me

But it was not about "not known"

The t/s talked about " underrated "

As far as I know..

btw

Little example

Take two rappers

And let's give em a name

Let's say, uhm, AZ and Lil Wayne

Now switch their media-hype/attention etc etc

So we can focus on a real MC. One with real skills

Let the radio play AZ tracks, like they did/do Wayne

But they don't and won't do that.

I even bet AZ got more interesting things to say than that other guy

Not talking about his raps now (because that's pretty obvious), but in interviews and sh*t like that

..to make a short story long, that was about it

 

[Meta_Conscious]

MC Ren

Az

great choices... they make my top ten... but...

OC

Masta Ace

Phonte

Black Thought

Sean Price

 

[twatgetta]

Why so many Masta Ace fans in here? He was never Underrated or Overrated, just average.

Born to Roll was his best shit. smdh
