Look its not like an album where if you rate it 5 stars it means straight up classic its just a good song. On second thought I’m getting tired of the whole rapping about nothing just because its easier to rhyme more so I’d say 4 stars now but still
Sad. AZ deserved better a long time ago and now he’s rapping– not at his best– over this lame bullshit? Statik Selektah is worse than the motherfucking AIDS.
This old man always sound the same. Statik beats sounds like some old ass Premo beat. get your own style statik. Stop the fake gangster image AZ! You stole your name from the real AZ who also used to rap back in the day. FUCK YOU STANS
i hate those high pitched voice samples that statik uses… the most annoying thing in hip hop to me. in fact, statik is borderline wack to me because of that. and his shit usually sounds the same.
AZ is dope, but usually doesn’t have the presence to hold an entire album by himself.
@ that real shit …You lost all credibility when you said it’s the most annoying thing in hip hop ..
What more annoying than French Montana (he’s not french) Or how’s about Mr Ross making up fake Tony Montana street story’s or how about Meek screeching through a whole 4 minute track ..
I bet your music collection is a lesson in why hip hop is now shit
There is no point arguing on who’s is a real emcee and who is not because only true hiphop supporters who understand the culture and artform can give you an obvious answer.
I cant understand how people say this beat is wack?? maybe the snares could use some depth but overall its a cold ass sample and AZ does what AZ does, ride the beat and smooth it out.
LOL @ ALL THE PEASANT MINDED IDIOTS HATING ON A NICE SMOOTH ASS BEAT …IT’S NOT ALL ABOUT TRAP BEATS AND LIEING ABOUT BEING A BIG TIME STREEET DEALER WITH DIRECT CONNECTS IN LATIN AMERICA ..
Dude sounds always the same since 1995. Suprize it aint 1995 anymore. Dude is good for 5/6 tracks and thats it. He never gets out of his comfort zone lryics, beats always the same. So 3 stars.
One of the best to ever do it. Never sold himself out. Never made a fool of himself or claimed to be super-nigga. Just consistently spit rhyme after rhyme for 20 years over smooth ass production. My nigga.
It sound like he used the same drums that were from the sample without filtering them… i just thought the drums were gonna come in booming, snares thick like Luke dancers, and etc.
STATIK SELEKTAH KILLED THE BEAT N PRODUCTION(PUSSY ASS HATERS I KNOW HE SAMPLED THE TUNE N BEAT) BUT THE BEAT JUST TOO DOPE. DAMN! I THOUGHT THIS KIND OF HIPHOP WAS DEAD. SHIIIIIIIIIITTTTT. ANYONE WHO GAVE THIS ANYTHING LESS THAN A 5 STARZ SHOULD HAND THEMSELVES. BCOS OBVIOUSLY IF U CLICKED ON THE LINK TO LISTEN TO THIS TRACK, U DEF. KNOW AZ N U KNOW REAL HIPHOP.
This sh!t is hot idk what y’all are listenin to…..this is that smooth 90’s sh!t….AZ always been the best on those smooth, melodic beats….
This the type of song you bump when you gettin fresh for all those Memorial Day BBQs!…..cruisin with the top down.
Sos has been and will probably always be rap’s best lyricist. only problem he’s on the ass end of the spectrum for production (albeit pieces of a man and do or die). this is so fucking fresh
Another tinkerbell beat for AZ. He always bored me with his soft ass music. Lyrics were always fresh, but he needs someone like me on the boards. Raekwon knows what it is. That’s why he’s still relevant.
fucking horrible. Anyone who likes this never liked AZ, al of whose previous records are better than this dogshit. He sounds tired and bored, and Statik is goddamn pathetic. Minus five stars because AZ should know better.
I suppose we should throw him on so lex luggar or Mike Will made it beats ..Just enjoy some grown up music ..
This generation of rappers will be gone soon Nas,Em,Az,etc once that happens you guys can knock yourselves out listening to recycled trap beats feat Ross,Trinidad,French (his not french) for the next 5 years
This track is ight, AZ does his thing and Statik did his usual thing. Agree on the statik comment, he a’int whack but his tracks I can’t listen to more than once he has no replay value it’s all the same sound
cmon yall no this truth sonnzz aint no lil weezy co signin this or frencheezey monteezy givin em no shout out yall if u aint rappin like ‘i keep it real thats how i feel you no the deal fo real order the fries thas my big mac meal’ then this aint getin no radio play aint hearin this on no air waves n ther aint no soft sweet smooth trey song chris brown voice on the hook man hip hop aint real no mor
I USED TO THINK AZ WAS DOPE!
BUT AFTER 15 FUCKING YEARS HE SOUNDS EXACTLY THE SAME!
HE HASN’T GROWN AS AN ARTIST AND HIS STYLE HASN’T EVOLVED THE WAY THAT NAS, OR EVEN COMMON HAS!
HE COULD HAVE BEEN ONE OF THE GREATS BUT IS STUCK IN 1998…SMH!
Man, none of you are ever satisfied….first AZ raps over beats that are too hard…..now you sayin he’s rhyming over beats that are too soft….wtf man let the dude live. This is hot…..don’t you rememer Mo Money Mo Murder Mo Homicide? I guess that was a soft beat too right, because it has violins?
AZ IS AN ALLTIME LYRICIST. IT DOES NOT GET ANY BETTER THAN THIS. HOWEVER, I KINDA WANT HIM TO CHANGE HIS PRODUCTION. AZ WOULD DESTROY SOME RICK ROSS INSTRUMENTALS.
nah fam, not a officer ricky fan. however, that guys has the best production in the game right now. been a az fan over 15 years. but i wish …..nevermind
AZ has always been one of my favorite artists, but I feel like the creativity has been stagnant since “The Format”. “Undeniable” and “Legendary” were solid but are made in the same vein of chill out and relax music.
He has made some great introspective songs, tells great stories (a really underrated part of his game), and goes hard with the best of them. However, we just haven’t seen that variety in awhile.
This is good song, not great. I just hope he brings back the variety of songs and beats on this album.
Don’t worry about it this generation of rappers is almost done i.e Nas,Em,Az,etc I doubt they will still be making music for the public for much longer ..
Hell these guys are no longer that prolific with releasing new music these days anyway the musical landscape has changed.
Once they are gone we can look forward to hearing recycled trap beats by lex lugar,will make it feat Ross,Trinidad,French (his not french) for the next 5 years
AZ’s 90’s flow is what makes him one of the greatest emcees of all time he never sold out and this joint is a classic.. Fuck Ya Haters go listen to some shit that make yall niggaz booty clap

heyyyyyyyyyyyyy Az always and 4evea rare breed
AZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
nice track
I’m too ahead of my time to be a “has been” – Can’t wait to hear more of this shit
One of the best in the game ..Cant wait to see hear new album
One of the greatest to bless the mic
Classic!
“All I do is just fuck, nut, and eat fruit”..classic AZ
love it!
the original Sosa
az still awesome and the prod is very good too
PEACE
Definition of classic….Real music
PEACE
i hope him and nas will do an album together
nice track. classic az
Ah this is much better than that last single he released. 5 stars
5 stars… haha. no. 5 stars would be some illmatic/36 chambers type shit.
3 at most.
Look its not like an album where if you rate it 5 stars it means straight up classic its just a good song. On second thought I’m getting tired of the whole rapping about nothing just because its easier to rhyme more so I’d say 4 stars now but still
AZ makes anything sound better than it is. Statik Selektah is so unoriginal. Chameleon. I liked his ’11 shit way better (AZ).
This shit hot
Az is underrated rapper but one of the best
5/5
FUCK YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!
http://www.youtube.com/mzstrawberrydyme
Sad. AZ deserved better a long time ago and now he’s rapping– not at his best– over this lame bullshit? Statik Selektah is worse than the motherfucking AIDS.
This old man always sound the same. Statik beats sounds like some old ass Premo beat. get your own style statik. Stop the fake gangster image AZ! You stole your name from the real AZ who also used to rap back in the day. FUCK YOU STANS
Listen to some weak ass young money to stimulate you
@ Da Enigma:
why should i listen to YMCMB dumbass. Did i say i like them?
I only fuck with az first album and the rest is just repeating the same bullshit over and over. so fuck you!
^JUST FUCK OFF DWEEB^
shut up reject… the meaning behind AZ is the Alpha and Omega, hence the first and last letters of the damn Alphabet, dick!!!
i hate those high pitched voice samples that statik uses… the most annoying thing in hip hop to me. in fact, statik is borderline wack to me because of that. and his shit usually sounds the same.
AZ is dope, but usually doesn’t have the presence to hold an entire album by himself.
which book should i read then? any suggestions?
@ that real shit …You lost all credibility when you said it’s the most annoying thing in hip hop ..
What more annoying than French Montana (he’s not french) Or how’s about Mr Ross making up fake Tony Montana street story’s or how about Meek screeching through a whole 4 minute track ..
I bet your music collection is a lesson in why hip hop is now shit
There is no point arguing on who’s is a real emcee and who is not because only true hiphop supporters who understand the culture and artform can give you an obvious answer.
AZ been ill since his debut… Statik Selektah is hit or miss production-wise, but i can rock with this!
goodsh!t
Fire!!
underwhelming production… statik needs to step his game up. his shit is sounding dated and not very interesting.
This guy wants the same old lex-luger sounding beat that you hear over every-single shitty hiphop song now adays.
I cant understand how people say this beat is wack?? maybe the snares could use some depth but overall its a cold ass sample and AZ does what AZ does, ride the beat and smooth it out.
why hate on the beat? you americans got used to the wack shit? the beat is alright…i like this song…
IMO, AZ and Lloyd Banks two of the MOST underrated, AZ IS THAT DUDE, BAR FOR BAR the man is smooth, melodic and real. Peace to the God.
Oh, btw the production is CLASSIC, you crabs need to clean those ears out, been fed too much industry ASS!
LOL @ ALL THE PEASANT MINDED IDIOTS HATING ON A NICE SMOOTH ASS BEAT …IT’S NOT ALL ABOUT TRAP BEATS AND LIEING ABOUT BEING A BIG TIME STREEET DEALER WITH DIRECT CONNECTS IN LATIN AMERICA ..

Great to hear this!!!
CLASSIC
perfect
yea man production is nice i like the sample flip
Dude sounds always the same since 1995. Suprize it aint 1995 anymore. Dude is good for 5/6 tracks and thats it. He never gets out of his comfort zone lryics, beats always the same. So 3 stars.
No doubt he will take your opinions on board
He need to do a remix with Ransom on the track. Now that would be an inferno
Peace to Da God Body AZ, still got it regardless to whom or what!!!
Another typical AZ song. Sosa (fuck Keef) will always be dope, but he needs to try switching it up sometimes
Throw him on some trap beats that will do it hay
Nice dude always comes with that grown up sound
One of the best to ever do it. Never sold himself out. Never made a fool of himself or claimed to be super-nigga. Just consistently spit rhyme after rhyme for 20 years over smooth ass production. My nigga.
It sound like he used the same drums that were from the sample without filtering them… i just thought the drums were gonna come in booming, snares thick like Luke dancers, and etc.
Dope.
NICE
STATIK SELEKTAH KILLED THE BEAT N PRODUCTION(PUSSY ASS HATERS I KNOW HE SAMPLED THE TUNE N BEAT) BUT THE BEAT JUST TOO DOPE. DAMN! I THOUGHT THIS KIND OF HIPHOP WAS DEAD. SHIIIIIIIIIITTTTT. ANYONE WHO GAVE THIS ANYTHING LESS THAN A 5 STARZ SHOULD HAND THEMSELVES. BCOS OBVIOUSLY IF U CLICKED ON THE LINK TO LISTEN TO THIS TRACK, U DEF. KNOW AZ N U KNOW REAL HIPHOP.
Yeah he did kill this production-wise! flames, i can’t wait til the album drops in full, and yes i will spend $$$ on artists i place no doubt in!
Shit’s the shit.
5 off the first 35 seconds.
Has been and always be a nice emceee good flow all day long.
AZ is one of the most underrated! I like him as much as Nas almost!!!
Hes better than nas
^^ hahahahahaha….. no.
Damn this is a groovy song
Az one of the realest, he aint never change
Anyone who doesnt like this beat is retarded. it aint all about
“CLUB BEATS”

Dope. Flow cold!
This is lyrical excellence.
Agreed!
Good music

Lyrically …. Who fucking with this man? NOT more than a handful. If that.
This sh!t is hot idk what y’all are listenin to…..this is that smooth 90’s sh!t….AZ always been the best on those smooth, melodic beats….
This the type of song you bump when you gettin fresh for all those Memorial Day BBQs!…..cruisin with the top down.
This the best Ive heard from AZ in a while.
thats what we need
10/5
Sos has been and will probably always be rap’s best lyricist. only problem he’s on the ass end of the spectrum for production (albeit pieces of a man and do or die). this is so fucking fresh
Amazing, this is what people who love hip hop class as hip hop. Fuck that Waka, Lil wayne, Gucci, Ross whack shit
.
One of the best ever. Still is. Don’t fuck with Sosa!
I made a comment about this song on twitter and AZ retweeeted it!!!!!!!’
Feels so good.
Sosa tha GOD stay showin lil niggas how to RAP
Fire! Y’all can keep your chief keefs and lil this, lil that.
This shit ILL
Can this get to 100 comments?
crazyyyyyyyyyyyyy, he should put out a video for this
there will be video for this
This is crack foreal.
Dam, shit.. .FUCK!!!
Dope! Can’t wait for the album.
That’s hip hop, lyrics and delivery at its best.
Need the transcribed lyrics
AZ is killin it. Can’t wait for that Doe or Die II
Too dope
Yes!
Refreshing!
I personally believe AZ is the most underrated rapper ever.
Been waiting a long time…Nice!!
Daaammnn!! AZ Killing it… Can’t wait for that album
Alright but I expect more after the long wait. This is not AZ sound from Do or Die era
Check your calendar 2013
^^
if it’s a sequel, then it should be.
^ Retarded hell YES ^
Another tinkerbell beat for AZ. He always bored me with his soft ass music. Lyrics were always fresh, but he needs someone like me on the boards. Raekwon knows what it is. That’s why he’s still relevant.
This beat is dope get your ears checked.
fucking horrible. Anyone who likes this never liked AZ, al of whose previous records are better than this dogshit. He sounds tired and bored, and Statik is goddamn pathetic. Minus five stars because AZ should know better.
too laid back, but AZ is the most slept on of all time period.
AZ never lost a step ever since Lifes a Bitch. Matter fact his word game is even better than Aziatic right now.
Rick Ross should sign AZ
this cat is smooth as ever. Still hot!!!
5* AZ
keep them comin
statik’s production is so weak….
i dissagre
Yeah his beats are always the same, its always some sped up vocals
I suppose we should throw him on so lex luggar or Mike Will made it beats ..Just enjoy some grown up music ..
This generation of rappers will be gone soon Nas,Em,Az,etc once that happens you guys can knock yourselves out listening to recycled trap beats feat Ross,Trinidad,French (his not french) for the next 5 years
TRUTH!!!!!! ^^^^
This track is ight, AZ does his thing and Statik did his usual thing. Agree on the statik comment, he a’int whack but his tracks I can’t listen to more than once he has no replay value it’s all the same sound
ABOUT TIME, 5 STARS
AZ’s rhymes are insane
dopeness
AZ moves rightly
I’m glad to see that AZ hasn’t lost his touch or flow. Fantastic song. Both the beat and lyrics are on point.
diggin it! AZ da original SOSA
dope!
AZ resembles DJ Paul on the cover pic…
They are first cousins…
is that true? i never heard that before isnt preem from texas?
pure crap; AZ should be ashamed and Statik is both a no-talent AND fucking shameless. # of his records with any replay value = Precisely Zero.
You trippin
u are retarded
cmon yall no this truth sonnzz aint no lil weezy co signin this or frencheezey monteezy givin em no shout out yall if u aint rappin like ‘i keep it real thats how i feel you no the deal fo real order the fries thas my big mac meal’ then this aint getin no radio play aint hearin this on no air waves n ther aint no soft sweet smooth trey song chris brown voice on the hook man hip hop aint real no mor
I never replied to you before, now I do. Stupid troll-bot
That real shit! 5*
best mc ever…besides birdman.

I USED TO THINK AZ WAS DOPE!
BUT AFTER 15 FUCKING YEARS HE SOUNDS EXACTLY THE SAME!
HE HASN’T GROWN AS AN ARTIST AND HIS STYLE HASN’T EVOLVED THE WAY THAT NAS, OR EVEN COMMON HAS!
HE COULD HAVE BEEN ONE OF THE GREATS BUT IS STUCK IN 1998…SMH!
u r retarted
I wish Nas was stuck in the days of Illmatic. Just me…
Good to hear the return of the AZ! Very dope beat by Statik too, hope he drops a remix with the Nasty Nas!
Man, none of you are ever satisfied….first AZ raps over beats that are too hard…..now you sayin he’s rhyming over beats that are too soft….wtf man let the dude live. This is hot…..don’t you rememer Mo Money Mo Murder Mo Homicide? I guess that was a soft beat too right, because it has violins?
AZ IS AN ALLTIME LYRICIST. IT DOES NOT GET ANY BETTER THAN THIS. HOWEVER, I KINDA WANT HIM TO CHANGE HIS PRODUCTION. AZ WOULD DESTROY SOME RICK ROSS INSTRUMENTALS.
AZ RAPPING OVER RICK FOREVER, PIRATES, PRESIDENTIAL OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT WOULD BE BEYOND EPIC
WOW YOU’RE ON RICK ROSS’ D*CK HARD BUDDY
nah fam, not a officer ricky fan. however, that guys has the best production in the game right now. been a az fan over 15 years. but i wish …..nevermind
AZ is a fool. The flow is vintage, vocab is unmatched, this is grown man music
GIVE HER NO DICK THAT HOW U RESTRAIN A BITCH IM DONE
IM TO AHEAD OF MY TIME TO BE A HAS BEEN
it’s “too” my nigga, “too”
AZ has always been one of my favorite artists, but I feel like the creativity has been stagnant since “The Format”. “Undeniable” and “Legendary” were solid but are made in the same vein of chill out and relax music.
He has made some great introspective songs, tells great stories (a really underrated part of his game), and goes hard with the best of them. However, we just haven’t seen that variety in awhile.
This is good song, not great. I just hope he brings back the variety of songs and beats on this album.
“All i do is fuck nut and eat fruit”…..On another level with his lyrics people LMAO!
cosign it
cosign it!
Don’t worry about it this generation of rappers is almost done i.e Nas,Em,Az,etc I doubt they will still be making music for the public for much longer ..
Hell these guys are no longer that prolific with releasing new music these days anyway the musical landscape has changed.
Once they are gone we can look forward to hearing recycled trap beats by lex lugar,will make it feat Ross,Trinidad,French (his not french) for the next 5 years
Deep Joy ..Hip hop is in safe hands
Do you guy’s even listen to the lyrics or do you just skim through it .. I think it’s the latter
Defiantly one of the most underrated rappers every. Became a Hip Hop legend without going platinum. All I do is bust nut and eat fruit
5/5 dope
This is sick. AZ is a legend, and this album is going to be insane, mark my words. AZ’s flow is almost unparalleled in the WHOLE industry.
4.8 for me
dope 5.5
asf
……….
My kind of music… AZ the shit!
wow 5/5
The real SOSA! Talent over radio and sales anyday
smoove, AZ still that dude

how u get a track list 4 an album with no release date
This idiot makes up track lists for artists on every other page on HHDX. He’s a fucking loser or he’s laughing at this.
Seems kinda fishy but IF it turns out to be correct then this shit is bananas.
Of course this isn’t the track list….but can’t deny the author his taste. This would be just ridiculously good
CLASSIC SH-t! Oldheads waiting on the GOD! Come to the A.
Classic summer shit!! AZ does it again!!
this is the sound
statik does it nice
kendrick should have gon this route

Too smooth. His smooth flow could rival Jay Z.
Black Zombie likes this smooth shit .

Nas, Pac, Biggie or maybe they’ll name me

Damn! This nigga can rap! Not quite as good as me, but he still dope!
