compare that verse to the state of hip-hop today and that shit is a dime
im not sayin he has to be your favorite rapper. im sayin give respect where respect is due
all these years and not once has he tried that commercial route. this nigga didnt go find God and come back spittin bullshit. didnt retire and come back to the game..none of that bitchassness thats prevalent in the game. never had to make a dance or make songs with whoevers poppin for a buzz
he's in a good space musically and continues to spit that raw shit thats missing in the game...and yeah it doesnt take 10 years to make an album but he said he wanted to make it perfect...you know artists can record 50 songs for an album and only 15 make the cut? this nigga probably has scrap tracks and verses left and right. pay attention to his albums and you'll see that he never falls off. never had a wack verse. and he gets better album after album
theres no AZ fan club that i run. none of that bullshit. I just respect his consistency over a large body of work over a long period of time. i couldn't say the same about people like Nas, Em, or Jay-Z...who bar for bar have never been as consistent as A
