Love how Pete Rock implemented scratching into the record. You don't hear that too often nowadays. Been listening to this album for a while and I'm just gonna go ahead and just cop it. It's refreshing and as always AZ keeps the art form alive.
@@Kplattjr1 for real they don't. Sometimes depending on the DJ or producer of a track, you didn't even need a spoken chorus to a song, just the scratching was enough.
Bars, flow, style, cadence, attitude, swag...he has it all. AZ, you're the realest, my man! This is one of the best songs this year EASILY. #RealHipHop
AZ can't miss right about now, everything I've heard him on in the past year has been fire 🔥 and it's new but has that throwback appeal to it.... not living in the moment but he's one of the nicest rappers out there regardless of what era or year it is 💯💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
I remember AZ said awhile back Doe or Die ll was going to be his final album. Then it dropped, he said on hot 97 that he still has the desire in him to make music….happy for all the greats still around and doing it big. Jay-Z, Nas, AZ, them dudes showing that you can be close to, or older than 50, and still make dope music. They used to write rappers off when they were about 30, that’s starting to change.
AZ simply one of da best. Real hip hop headz recognize. Swag n rhymes outrageous. I listen to him just about everyday yo. Nawmean. Word is born AZ. One of da best. Fr top 5 dead or alive. That's right I said it 💯🙏🏽. RESPECT DUE
This is most excellent. As a 90's kid, it's awesome to see these hip hop legends collaborating in 2021. Much love to Pete Rock and AZ for their contributions to music.
AZ rhymes style is the pinnacle of rap. "Jotted in black ink, it's logic the math link I'm the clash of a scientist and how a psychopath thinks My higher half is a sphinx, my prior past is a jinx Is why I graphically sit and let the factual sink"
I love it when fans include their favorite lines from the song whether it's to explain the line/lines that may go over some people's heads in simpler form or in this case simple but brilliant writing skills. ( no entendre unless there's one that went over my head 😁 )
I find myself starting my day with hitting that play button and listening to “Just 4 U”, one of the most lavish songs I ever heard since “Thank You” by Jay, both at that Monopoly table by the way.
Rest in God's light Young Dolph and God bless AZ for still trying to plant the seed that prevents the ill will that cause a man like Dolph to die to soon. AZ will always be relevant and the balance to the culture.
Been checking for S.O.S.A. + Soul Brother #1 collabo's since Rather Unique gem dropped on the Sugarhill B-side.. Keep blessing 'em.. PEACE to the gods & the earth's..
As a Youth I always wished there was a video for “Rather Unique” (one of my favorite songs of all time) so to finally see these two together with the visual treatment in 2021 is a real treat for any foundational Hip Hopper classic production and vocal delivery by the Chocolate Boy Wonder🏆 and Mr. Cruz👑 #onetimefortheculture
vintage AZ word play on point 👍perfect beat and rhyme scheme...always appreciate the great mc,s whole album fire...I like the bullet proof joint as well
Thank God one of my fave rappers came back and he's better than he ever was I always said he was before his time now he's blowing up like he should have when he first came out and Pete Rock on the beat ladies and gents feel blessed💯
AZ was never underrated just underapreciated!!!!

He was trash then. He is trash now. Nobody bought his albums.

Do that! You won't regret it! I dropped $50 on the CD and ain't regretted one cent!
@@ackvig What?

Best album of the year, for real...
We haven't gotten classic hip hop since the 90s. AZ blessed us with a classic album in 2021. 💪🏿
Thats not true, there are a ton of classic albums since the 90s. Just because you dont look for it doesnt mean it doesnt exist
Literally hundreds of classic rap albums/mixtapes dropped throughout the 2010s wtf are u on
Az has dropped 6 gems in the 2000s wtf!?!
AZ all through there bro he never stopped🥶
2020 gave us Jadakiss, Lox, Bustaryhmes, Nas new albums. All of these were 🔥 🔥
AZ can't miss right about now, everything I've heard him on in the past year has been fire 🔥 and it's new but has that throwback appeal to it.... not living in the moment but he's one of the nicest rappers out there regardless of what era or year it is 💯💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾

....factz!
AZ is just one of THE GREATEST. PERIOD.
C'mon King AZ!!!! Hip hop royalty!!!
AZ and Pete Rock! Salute you did it again. Taking me back to that "Rather Unique" combo. Classic joint!!!
🥶💯🥶‼️literally rather unique
Yeah this took me back to the 1st album
God bless this man. One of the realist rapper of all time
Shout out to AZ for never falling off with the rhyme skills
Lovin' all the visuals AZ droppin' on us.
I feel u!! Just sittin back Realizing the realism of life!!
@@beatsbythekilo Love your comments. Salute
AZ slept on while he's been one of my favorite emcees for over 20 years now. 🍾

Man this fire his album is straight 🔥 I been listening AZ since 96 I was in 8grade he the King of Underrated Rappers I think!!!!
AZ flow is unmatched
One of the most underrated rappers in the industry, that brother has mad skills!
some day AZ will get the credit and the respect he deserves, brother is on the top 10 of rap history no doubt about it
Top 10 no doubt. The same way people don’t consider a top 10 legit if it doesn’t have BIG or Pac, I feel the same about a top 10 not having AZ
