AZ - Genesis

i see the point you're making but its not even like AZ makes those kind of songs that make you wanna cry...he's more of a street rapper... think Nas with more rhymes, or a much more sophisticated Jadakiss. and i don't think it goes against being a musician at all to not conform to what others wanna hear

you gotta remember guys like Eminem & AZ came on the scene when Hip-Hop was still Hip-Hop. Even you've got to admit that Hip-Hop is so big and commercial that's its leaning towards Pop. Even Eminem fucked around and experimented with some catchy commercial joints in his past few albums

the fact that AZ never felt the need to do anything like that & he sticks to the Hip-Hop he knows when he entered the game shows a great deal of self respect, dignity, and maturity.
