AZ "Fan Mail" doesnt get the love it deserves

[Lurking Class Hero]

AZ's flow is so smooth man. He uses multis but it never descends into forced lyrical miracle mumbo jumbo and he never crams his syllables. All the words just flow seamlessly. I love the second verse of paradise too:

One in a million, I'm strong young and appealing
Was born son a villain, put on in front of my building
Peeping how the street structure decease brothers
Critique, but I was placed here to reach others
Incomplete, stand feet from the deep cover
Eternal sleep, I wonder if the Beast love us
The frail weaken, the stronger be in jail eating
The average male will make it home if the bail's decent
I inhale frequent, it alleviate great, to be a part of the game
Can't be a day late to be a part of the same
Need a g' a day take, five if you live, slide mines on the side

That 2nd verse always gets me "I guess the best 1s, God get them" "I smoke herb so that grief can stop disturbing my peace/My life deep...."

"At night, it's like his face just emerge in my sleep, i smoke herb so that grief can stop disturbing my peace"

"I hate it when them commentators say that you back
You never left you was always years ahead of the rest
My baby-father even felt your style he say you was best"

[L. Deezy]

Is one of the best ever...

In terms of representing fans and showing how a rapper can have an impact on them. The "fan verses" seem so real and you just get the visual of their struggle.

Faced wit 10 on state time, wit life on the back
It's fukked up when your own folks ain't writing you back
Learn to relax, spoke wit certain cats that helped adapt
You know the streets to the pen it's kinda hard to transact
All the cars and the pretty women, condos
The clothes and the city living
I seen division, breakdown of the population
It's either submit, death or incarceration I felt the combination
Torn between reality rap and the fakes
Some do it for the salary cap few relate
And been thru what I been thru at least in fraction
So when they spit you could feel the passion I see you maxin'
That Nas and that Jigga riff started some shyt
It departed the prison system we still argue a bit
It's a glimpse of what's to come
The past follow, Polaroids are hung of me holdin my last bottle
I live like that of a star without the title, I had to write you
It's beyond trying to enlighten you
It's a token of appreciation for being that poet with no abbreviations
Much respect from us all wish you much success
Get yours take money nikka fukk the rest I'm signing off
And leave in the way that I greet and say peace
Keep in mind always rep the streets, you that nikka
