AZ and Nas should be similar considering they worked together for so long. It's a shame Nas became more popular as AZ is actually the better lyricist overall.
AZ is one of the few good gangster rappers left. I listen to some of his early stuff.
btw in case you didn't know, Nas an AZ were in a rap group together back in the mid 90's called "The Firm" they teamed up with Nature and Foxy Brown. The debut album was released on interscope/aftermath mostly produced by dre.
