AZ. Any Illmatic owners should know his (well-deservedly) famous verse on “Life’s a Bitch”. And even if you don’t, the record companies sure noticed, and Virgin Records signed him a year later. Collaborating with Virgin, AZ made his first (and best) album, Doe or Die. Beloved by the critics, many said that this was the mirror image of Illmatic; AZ was nearly as strong of a rapper. In fact, Nas himself returns the favor and shows up on “Mo Money Mo Murder”. The fact that it was produced by Pete Rock sure didn’t detract from it. Unfortunately, it was only a modest success... and that’s when everything started going downhill for AZ.
Honestly... his succeeding albums were nearly on-par with his masterpiece-quality debut, yet no one gave a shit. It’s truly saddening to see a great MC disregarded by the general public... And yet he still makes albums. Regardless of the fact that they don’t sell... he’s still making them. Now THAT’S what I call persistence, and he most definitely has my respect. If you’ve never heard of, sample him on itunes or something... he deserves at least a listen, and if you like it, buy it... downloading it off of limewire doesn’t make companies notice...

Kanye is one of the best right now but I would say that The Game really shouldn’t be as big as he is
