@Phil Banks Reggie Jay Z tupac and biggie, Andre from outcast, Jada, Kurupt and then me

Doesn't compare to AZ? So just because he got famous means the writing doesn't compare?

I don't care if Uncle Phil wrote what Hollo did the point is a better written is a better written. Show me 1 AZ track in all his catalogue where he display's that kind of pen game. You can't because he doesn't. He's a run of the mill lyricist in the big scheme of things.

@ Just C, I just showed you the song

@ Phil Banks, check Eminem's wikipedia page. AZ is an influence

and then listen to Eminem - We're Back


All I Hear Is I'm Best At This And I'm Best At That
But I Don't Hear My Name, No Where Brought Up In Rap
And I Don't Usually Trip Or Dare Get Caught Up In That
But When They Say One Of The Best, I'm Nowhere Thought Up As That
Not Even The Same League As Jay-Z, Nas, Pac, Biggie Or Maybe
They Name Me Somewhere Down At The Bottom, Right After AZ

Basically what Em is saying is that he doesn't think he's looked at as #1...when people think of the best rappers they're quick to name Jay-Z, Pac, Nas first, etc

But he's saying he's overlooked and slept on just like AZ. And AZ might be one of the best rappers ever who never got credit for his skill

He had no mixtape, his first rap verse EVER was on Life's a Bitch and that verse alone is better than verses from heads that have been rapping for years and years and years

About.com lists AZ as the most underrated lyricist of all time.

Lol @ Wikipedia page. You're such a gullible nerd.

And that song doesn't cut it. It's all cliche n a played angle.

Looks like he's saying AZ is wack to me

I'm not saying he's whack. I'm saying he's aiiight. He doesn't say anything amazing nor does he SAY IT in a a great way. He's just aiiiight.

His verse on The Firm could have been spat by someone on let's beef tbh. He didn't have a great message and it was all "been done before" n cliche. And again his delivery was pretty bland tbh.

Yes I know The Firm is a Very old track. But times change. Tastes change and people advance.

yoooo man... why ya'll on eminems nuts tho.... EMINEM LIKES AZ!!!!... If Eminem likes him, how is he NOT dope? wtf is wit that shit... fuckin stans man...

Nobody is on Em's nuts. Im just saying. Ticket, how many grammys have u won? Have you gone diamond? Are you considered one of the greatest rappers ever? No?

So if you said so-and-so was a good rapper who would give two shits?

Eminem is considered the GOAT of rap and he's one of the most influential people in the rap game, and even HE'S biggin up AZ.

Not to mention when he showed AZ love he mentioned him among Nas, Pac, Biggie, and Jay-Z. Thats a pretty exclusive list.

& i think AZ is one of the greatest regardless of what Em has to say

completely disagree, but those verses were dope from Hollo.

I like how people are going to shit all over AZ now because Pulse holds him on a pedestal. lol

pULSe....AZ doesnt say anything that regular street niggas say yo...

and its not a matter of shitting on dude...i actually fuck with Az...but damn yo...NaS is considerably better, and you saying that Em listed AZ as an influence....so you saying it like God Himself co-signed.
