Ya'll should smack the shit outta yaself..If you make a thread for underrated artists AZ's name has to come up. Don't think this is me talkin outta my ass again

he's listed by about.com as the most underrated lyricist in the game and Eminem lists AZ as one of his favorite rappers. Now how many people know who Eminem is in comparison to AZ? .....THATS what Phil means about underrated

AZ is a poet, literally. He incorporates everything there is to poetry in his songs. Assonance, consonance, alliteration, metaphor, simile, multi-syllabics, rhyme, imagery..

Needin some form of nourishment, its '88
Skin startin to radiate, hit on my baby face
Mamma bear can see that I'm there, she finally gave me space
Change of pace - movin quicker
Consumin liquor, humpin up on some chick pussy, tryna undo her zipper
Gucci slippers who can diss us? 40 deuce movie pictures
What other way but poetically can I prove these scriptures

Lovin the game you gave me
Lovin my name is A-Z
Never sold millions, but fuck it I'm here to save the babies

Most of ya'll don't know what alliteration is without a Google search so lemme make it easy...basically think of a bunch of words startin with the same letter / soundin the same

Keep all the confrontation
I'm sittin contemplatin tryna crack the combination
Move mystique mostly, must that I keep cozy
At times I creep dol-y this is what the east showed me
More into music makin
Tryna renew relations
Duckin the dudes that hatin


Most of you simple minded niggas would never catch onto shit like that because ya'll call yourselves rap fans not knowing RAP = rhythm and poetry. Emphasis on poetry

Niggas pullin up overrated rappers, dead rappers, rappers we know are nice, & emotional ass rapper niggas that tell the same story in every song.

Fuck with a real rapper...Dude's 9 albums deep and he's never had a wack verse and has always had creative control over his own projects. Dude's debut was on a Nas song and that verse shits on everybody on this site's 1st verse, trust that. Dude was at the table in the Dead Presidents video with Jay-Z & Biggie too

He's a legend in the game that any hardcore Hip-Hop fan would immediately recognize as one of the greatest & most underrated

Thank you.....

You're welcome. All you faggot ass niggas started becoming faggot ass niggas after Lupe and now ya'll are on some super sensitive shit

the God had to restore divine order

chorus sucks ass but his verses be wordy as fuck

@pULSe alot of people tried to put me onto AZ but ironically I passed..herd a few songs of his you named all this stuff but he was missing one thing...originality...I still think Ko-Tix & Redman are still two of the best underrated emcees...but I guess different strokes...pause

"I wear dat ass out like ceiling fans" GOT DAMN! THAT BOY GOT BARS..Shout out @RiGGA

Joell Ortiz...

Hilltop Hoods and Bliss n Eso are underated outside of Australia.
