Yeah when I listened to AZ thoroughly i got the idea the motha fucka read the book on poetry
He's not a punchline/metaphorical nigga but he's got every thing else
the consonance, assonance, internals, eye/slant rhymes, flow, substance, content, etc etc
I like Cormega a lot too...in fact the entire Firm besides Nature & Foxy are some of my favorite rappers....extensive collection of Nas, Cormega, & AZ tracks
they all compliment each other..Nas got the story telling down & some commercial success...AZ has rhyming & flow down pat and he's underground...Cormega has both but it seems dude completely vanished off the scene...these niggas are like a Venn Diagram with Nas & AZ on opposite sides & Mega in the middle
Idk how those 3 niggas linked up but that was a beautiful thing for me & for Hip-Hop.
Imagine not knowing who Crooked I, Royce, Joell, or Budden are.... then listening to them together for the first time as Slaughterhouse. You'd be wtf I gotta check out these niggas solo projects
although I been bumpin Nas before I even heard of AZ and Cormega
