He said he wasn't talented enough which is crazy. Stoute thinks everybody is meant to be jay z or biggie.
Az did enough to be a rap legend a got a classic, a handful of good albums and he still able to tour. There's a lot of his peers who didn't even have a one hit wonder.
Could he have been more successful, yes, but if that's enough for him, that's all it matters.
And Stoute have some nerve considering he nearly killed Cormega's career who managed to thrive regardless. Being talented ain't enough in the entertainment
Some of that is just luck and timing and luck too. AZ for sure was meant to be bigger, but some of those label situations weren't right. There was a sample clearance thing on HEY AZ, and Mariah came out with Honey, at the same time. Hey AZ got scrapped. The single for Pieces of A Man was some shyt no one remembers. The single for Nine Lives was perfect, but probably a year or so too late, and label didn't have a crazy budget.
AZ also chased trends, sometimes too late to make an impact. He didn't set them. Or try to.
just read that HEY AZ was the single, and didn't even appear on the album. That's a disaster for an artist in 1998.

AWOL was dope IMO, but to me he is hit or miss on albums as you said. I did like his first three though so I agree with you on that. He had a run of a few albums in the late 00s I really did not like much at all (G.O.D and another one I forget the name). Overall though I would say I am a fan.
