Amazing Verse from AZ..."Life's a Bitch."

[Josh]

"Visualizin' the realism of life and actuality
F**k who's the baddest a person's status depends on salary
And my mentality is, money orientated
I'm destined to live the dream for all my peeps who never made it
cause yeah, we were beginners in the hood as five percenters
But somethin must of got in us cause all of us turned to sinners
Now some, restin in peace and some are sittin in San Quentin
Others such as myself are tryin to carry on tradition
Keepin the schwepervesence street ghetto essence inside us
Cause it provides us with the proper insight to guide us
Even though, we know somehow we all gotta go
but as long as we leavin thievin we'll be leavin with some kind of dough
so, and to that day we expire and turn to vapors
me and my capers-ll be somewhere stackin plenty papers
Keepin it real, packin steel, gettin high
Cause life's a bitch and then you die..."

From AZ & Nas - Life's a Bitch. That verse is quite amazing and not many people have heard of this guy, he's not that popular but I feel he should be recognized as a great lyricist. Get this song if you don't already have it in your collection. A pure classic.

The flow, rythem and style combined with the lyrics and the beat is great to listen to.

 

[bhad]

the only reason it would be a classic is because Nas is on it..

az is dirt compared to nas

 

[ManofSteal]

also listen to Sugar Hill & Mo Money, Mo Murder 'Homicide' by AZ their both classics

you should also listen to CORMEGA hes better than AZ (check out his underground stuff) not anything that came out on CD

Man, I LOVE Nas's first album, one of the best ever!
He sucks a$$ now, hes all 'bling bling' and sh!t.

"Life's a b1tch and then you die, that's why we get high,
cuz ya never know when you gonna go"

speaking of semi-classic rap, I just went to a Snoop Doggy Dogg concert here in Kelowna BC Canada of all places....It was gold. He and his 40-50 year old "crew" were smoking weed on stage the whole time....Ahhh I love snoop, some really cool "Feel good" songs.

Hmm, I must say that Nas' Stillmatic is also a great album. The ones in between aren't all that amazing though.

AZ's great, very consistent, always makes good music - he's never really recognized though. He's stood in Nas' shadow for a while, but in recent years he's kinda done his own thing. He did a song with Nas on Stillmatic tho, forget the name of it but it was a real good track.

I think AZ is severely underrated. one of the FEW rappers i would still consider listening to.

It might have been Braveheart Party. Not many songs on that album actually had another person other than Nas. I think he was trying to make it true just like Illmatic...but Illmatic did feature AZ so it does make sense.
