AZ was the optional hidden boss of 90s MCs

This is one of the dopest beats ever.

This beat was crazy ahead of its time still one of the illest beats ever made

2024 and we still here boys, classics live forever

Lyrics 10/10 Beat 3000000/10

And not one curse word. A true lyricist.

Lyrics: 10/10 Beat: 50/10 Music Video: 10/10 AZ's whole career: 100000000/10

Miss my childhood. Live in the moment people! Im only 36 in January but i wish i could do it again. Move smart, love, laugh, and live to the fullest.

What Premo did with this beat is insane.

AZ the most UNDERRATED artist of all time, maybe in 500 years when a young hip-hop history student is studying the history of hip-hop they will put him in his rightful place.

In London, holloway..on the bus, sitting top deck..rain pouring down hard..my hood up & headphones in , listening to AZ..blessed.. March 2020

Shame AZ never blew up. IMO he's one of the best ever.

This beat is masterful. Such a slept on song from a slept on dude. Classic.

One of the greatest songs of all time right here 🎧

It’s songs like this that make rap so awesome

This beat is just unreal. It stands above not only in hip-hop but general in music. In '06 when this joint dropped I was a second grade high school student and I was constantly listening to it even in class when I had computer science lesson and we had speakers. Until now I cannot believe how dope this is in my 26 years of life. I really can't describe the feelings that gives me everytime I hear it. Thanks a lot to AZ and Dj Premier of course!

One of the best beats in rap history , along with that crazy flow

Im still in disbelief I saw AZ, Nas, and Lauryn Hill live in Toronto...you have to be from a certain era to understand. Love from Toronto to New York!

I know this came out in 06 but I get such 90s reminiscent vibes when I hear this track. Guess cause AZ and primo defined 90s hip hop so much for me that whenever I hear them I'm just reminded of that period of hip hop. Love this track

The beats,the flow and the lyrics.....man this is HIPHOP.

AZ was so underrated

This is one of the best songs ever, AZ is hella underrated🤔💪💯

AZ giving us a lesson on multi syllables on this one, he went beast mode. Not many can do that at this level

Young and gifted, my tongues prolific. In the beach bungalow is how I brung in Christmas. For the streets I'ma flow from the hungriest districts. Swiss kicks crisp when I come to them picnics...

One of the best Rap/HipHop song ive ever heard. Top 5 for sure. imo

I can't even express in words how perfect this track is in all regards... Two masters, Premier on production and AZ on the mic. This is one of those duos that make pure magic for your listening pleasure... It blows my mind that this track isn't an anthem around world...

He and DJ Premier are easily best hip-hop duo. Just effortlessly.

AZ is one of those artists who has a naturally high skill to recognition ratio. Cant believe he is NOT more spoken about.

AZ is one of my all time favorite MC'S, living legend, the game owes him far more than what he's received thus far.

That first verse of his is arguably one of my favorite rap verses of all time. This man is a legend, what lyrical talent.

In the running for greatest premo beat ever for me

His voice and this beat is just love

this beat is so sick

"You bastard liars, it's me who's the honorable"

Who’s on this in summer 2020 ????

One of the most underrated rappers ever. AZ is so dope man.

Classic AZ track. Have an awesome day guys.

This may be the greatest AZ track ever.....HARD!!

Song still slaps harder than anything to come out in the past decade

This is what Preem should have played last night against RZA! Who agrees?

Growing in this era its hard to listen to hip-hop these days.

Song will always be dope. AZ is one of the illest. ✊ I agree with the comments about him being underrated. Its crazy how underrated he actually is. But alot of the best artists, never get the shine they deserve.

Incredible talent. AZ is one of my Hip Hop heroes.💯🔥🙏

The hardest beat in the rap industry

Why fuckin AZ so underrated ? Fuck mainstream.

Premier should've produced the whole album for AZ during that time, it would be an instant classic like in mid 90s

I grew up in the south and at respects to AZ sheesh that comment about AZ being an optional hidden boss was accurate. Different era of Hip Hop

darn youtube. where do i kick its nuts for decreasing the quality to 240p??

I'm happy this joint got over a million looks. It deserves it more. Dope ass joint.

This is one of those perfect tracks.

Best DJ of all time with the most underrated rapper of all time.

That beat is just incredible. Takes me to another place. Much like Big Shugs "Play It" and Afu Ra's "Monontony". Preemo is the illest

New York hip hop will always reign supreme...

Coming back to this song and is still one of my top 3 favorites ❤

Easily one of the top verse of ALL TIME. EXTREMELY underrated Mc

Az has one of the most deepest majestic voice ever. Secret King of hip hop. AZ better be in nas's new album.

Not only is AZ extremely underrated. This track is also so underrated, I rarely see people mention this one their AZ-song lists. This is probably his top 3 track imo!

Grew up listening to hip hop in England 🇬🇧 back in the 90s. Az was always one step ahead

AZ is a true Hip Hop legend my friend.

A.Z. Is the most underrated MC of all time I can't stop listening to AZ's verses

Earth need more masterpieces like this.. really

🔥🔥🔥🔥 1 OF THE BEST BEAT I EVER HEARD.... BEAT IS SICK....

He's flow is pure hip-hop gentle and swaying to the beat

For real everytime i hear this beat i think i can destroy everyone on free

one of the most underrated mcs of all time.

His flow is cold. Definitely in my top 20🥶

U N D E R R A T E D

"Play slow paper chase stack and lay low" 🔥🔥🔥

Holy shit, AZ you god, and Preemo never disappoints.

Is there anyone here. 2025 🤘🏽

One of the best songs of all time for sure

Probably my favorite hip-hop song of all time and one of the most underrated MC's period. AZ my man!

AZ & Cormega are 2 of the most underrated rappers ever

I love this fuggin song ... Play this shiz at my funeral!

GYEAHHHH NIGGGAAAA! lol, to be honest this guy is the man, he reps Tupac multiple times, yet flows his own way and lays down great lyrics. been listening to this song for like 15 years just want to show some appreciation now in 2023. old men in their 30's respect lol.

Young and gifted, my tongues prolific and the beach bungalow is how I brung in Christmas. Chills every time

with classics like this you cant complain about new music , just enjoy the classics !!! exclellent lyrics and beats

His rhyming patterns are perfectly timed.

Honestly one of the BEST songs I've ever heard. Not 1 swear word a true lyricist 🥵🔥🔥👌☝

His album doe or die is a hip hop classic. Lyrical masterpiece.

Az is by far the most underrated rapper of all time. you need a brain to comprehend his lyrics. Nothing short of a legend!!

This is the rap my children will be raised on, as I was.

Still can't believe how much this has been slept on...I mean damn!

One of the sickest raps in the game ever! Kills it with the depth of flow!! God bless ya'll!!!

2006 right here. AZ was still showing the genius inside of his head when rap was headed down the drain.

YES. HIS WORD PLAY IS CRAZY!!

Az is a. Hip hop legend🔥🔥🔥🔥

One of the most under rated but yet still one of the realist !!!

The unique DJ premier touch with samples taken from here and there ..... Redman’s voice is sick, pure classic

[Intro] I'm ready... [Verse 1] You know the chronicles, the shit that if mama knew The stress the drama do, the TEC's phemonenal Rapid fire, it pecks through the abdominal You bastard liars, it's me who's the honorable Bathed and clothed up, shaved and close-cut Restraint from temptation was drained from both nuts Heh, now in the physical form Verbalize through the scriptures, I was Biblically born It's I'ah, Jeremiah, conceived through the blunt fire On Kawasaki's, can wheelie up on one tire Well respected, jail connected Got the method for them pretty females perfected For sure, very few flaws, heavy Chevy two-doors Candy paint, it'll give a nigga the blue balls Pause, this the life I chose Done did the 360, the cypher's closed C'mon! [Chorus: scratching by DJ Premier] The format is real sickening, contagious Here I come, AZ, there you go Still I don't have to run no game, I done those things [Verse 2] Young and gifted, my tongue's prolific In the beach bungalow is how I brung in Christmas For the streets I'ma flow from the hungriest districts Swiss kicks, crisp when I come to them picnics Play slow, paper chase, stack and lay low Range Rove tinted, all black, the same old Psychic mind, righteous rhymes Done turned a new leaf from my life of crime No concerns with new beef, who's as nice as I'm? It's confirmed, from few feet I'm still a sniper blind Built my fame, spilt my pain Politicking daily, still trying to milk the game It's obvious that I'm real, rap skills remain I took some change and I'm still the same [Chorus: scratching by DJ Premier] The format is real sickening, contagious Here I come, AZ, there you go Still I don't have to run no game, I done those things [Verse 3] Learnt the system, burned some izm Jotted my jewels down like journalism How I maneuve now, it'll merge the wisdom A pilgrim, prophesize, putting words to rhythm Relating, I Adam Clayton it, manifestation, patient Meditatin' with them animals waitin', pacin' Like an inmate that sealed his fate Let some years escape, but I'm still in shape I'm chilling, deeply rooted, a beast with music From Bed-Stuy to the East, I'm too at peace to lose it But love it, I still does it, breathing off a Trump budget Fresh out of Bloomies with the Louis luggage LOL these lyrics shit on al 90% of the rap game lol

Insane, this beat is something else, and Az fits on it perfectly... Greetings from Serbia

A straight up classic tune for me. Still bump this.

DJ Premier is a genius.

Mad combo, DJ Premier really illustrated AZ style in this beat which showcased his amazing lyrical abilities. Bringing in pure hip hop. This is a work of art and poetry 🖼️ it’s rather unique

This is one of the greatest tracks of all time. PERIOD.

AZ...Arguably the greatest rapper of all time.

Az def one of the best MCs to ever touch a mic he's better than 95% artist

Most under rated rapper. Living legend

"Young and gifted, my tounge's prolific..."

I hate how underrated AZ is. Lyrically gifted for sure 💯
