I'm not sure after listening to Doe or Die...once again, i'm not quite sure. i'm not saying either way.

I always considered illmatic the best rap album ever, but then i listened to doe or die...and it made me wonder.

Honestly I almost think AZ is just as good as Nas. The difference is Nas was able to get more mainstream fame. Which is not a bad thing.

Nas album for album is better than AZ probably. But I'm saying just based on skills i think hes pretty much equal.

I think Illmatic had the better beats...

Do or Die is a real dope album. Illmatic bar for bar is the best **** to ever be put out though. AZ's verse on Life's A ***** was ill.

Illmatic is better but Doe or Die is slept on by many.

after doing a comparison i also think illmatic is better. but AZ is slept on and so is doe or die.

Do or Die is a real dope album. Illmatic bar for bar is the best **** to ever be put out though. AZ's verse on Life's A ***** was ill.

thats basically what i came hear to say, co-sign

AZ might be better than Nas lyrically...its tough to say. What makes Nas is illmatic had better beats and i think his flows were better to...but thats close

The most underated rapper of all time, in my opinion.

OMG...

although i do believe that i am the only head who doesn't love AZ. i can appreciate him but he's not one of my favorites.
