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..

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
