AZ-Do or Die
- Thread starter GhettoStar
- Start date
i dont think doe or die was a classic like illmatic or ready 2 die but i think it was pretty close ..definitely his best album ,.. songs like sugar hill, gimme yours, rather unique, ho happy jackie are all fire joints ..az comes with the lyricism too and the beats are early 90s throwbacks ..nice production
Couldn't agree more. AZ is so under-rated. Also peeps, check for "Pieces Of A Man" album - another classic. I think AZ went downhill after that though, "9 Lives" and "Aziatic" were both kinda average, and his most recent one that came out was even worse.
Sugarhill is my JAM! and Rather Unique, so fuckin ill.

I really feel that this is a lost classic I don't know I've always like AZ flow (Talib only 10x better) and the production as well as lyrical styles he spits on this LP are far beyond what anybody was doing at the time (his styles unique). I just bought it a couple ago and I was impressed, espically by Gimme Yours.
Verse 1: AZ
Yo, it's hard to show resistance when money-gettin niggas
need my assistance to stock figures, beyond non-existence
Fuck keepin my distance, cos bein poor produced persistence
Plus plea's, a hundred G's, I had me blockin out of jail centres
I'm recognised by the illest of individuals
Killers and criminals, even willies that's really into jewels
But still sceptic on who I cling to
Cos every single nigga that swing thru, ain't my man just cos we mingle
To mistake shit, even females be feedin off that fake shit
Filled with envy and hatred but my high hopes help me escape it
Temporarily the window world, don't read the wise
Verbally nourish me, properly with that inner city, urban GC
I fucked with those beyond my age bracket
cos they analyse and mack to get the papers and stack it
Leavin no trace to track it, keep on thinkin tappers is accurate
That mack shit, livin the lifestyle, we filled with black wit
Verse 2: AZ
So in God I trust, I lust for a 850-deluxe
And in too, I touch a million-plus, ain't much to discuss
Diamonds and double-digits, Gianni Versace down with lizards
It's realism so I visualisin to live it
Movin cleverly wit intentions of longevity
Strong pedigree got me touchin papers, others would never see, G
So do the crest in my claw, flourescents
symbolises the essence, you're sailin in a sweppervescence
Drug investments, a street thug's plug, the insurance, but informers
they had you wanted for warrants 'fore you get enourmous
Life's a performance so players play wit endurance
cos from war sense, any villain's willing to get more intense
They tried to break us but all it did was just make us
travel across acres for papers, bonafide money takers
Cos though we know somehow we all gotta go
As long as we're leavin thievin, we'll be leavin wit some kind of doe,
so...
incredible'

oh yeah AZ is EXTREMLY under rated, and he has so much potential...but i feel like he just doesnt try his hardest...shit some of his best songs are under 3 minutes, thats just too short. but no doubt Doe or Die is his best followed by Pieces of a Man, as militant already stated.
AZ's flow is ridiculous...and ive been feeling that song he did with primo off his new album, the song is called the come up. He needs more production like that so he can be more consistant.
