CD Reviews- - -AZIATIC 5+ stars, truly under-rated- - - brian | Long Island, NY USA | 07/26/2002 (5 out of 5 stars) "The first time i heard of AZ was when he came out with the single 'Everything's Everything' wit r&b singer joe off his last album '9 lives.' I loved da track but for some reason I still hesitated to buy 9 lives. I eneded up not buying it which i truly regret. I admit this is the first AZ record I've ever bought and it is near flawless. Let me tell you that AZ is much better then allmost all the multi-platinum artists out there. He's skills and rhymes can't be matched. With the hot music dis guy makes it's hard to realize why he's not more well known. I first heard da single 'I'm back' and i was like damn this is hot music right here. Then i checked dis site out and read a review called 'classic peotry' by jay and that convinced me to buy the album. I started listenin to it and i was like dat kid was 4 real. AZ's flow is like none other and his rhymes are always on point. Im telling you this album is just as good as Nas's stillmatic maby even better. This is an album where you can pretty much play straight through. Buy this album and guarenteed there will be no more skippin through da tracks lookin for good beats or hot songs. Every track has something different to offer. All da songs are hot but may favorite are:1)A-1 performance (mad ill beat, gets you up and dancin) 2)Take it off 3)Paradise 4)I'm back 5)Rebirth'Aziatic' is truly a classic. If da source dont give this 5 mics they must of been high when reviewin this album cause i no doubt giv dis 5 mics. AZ is definitely real and is a great inspiration. I hope wit dis one AZ gets da recognition he deserves. If your still not sure bout this album just check out da other reviewers, they speak true. Definitely pick dis one up. If you don't got dis in your collection your definitely missin out. Pick dis up, Solid 5 stars" Why is Aziatic so slept on? Andre Wright | Rochester, NY United States | 12/31/2003 (5 out of 5 stars) "This album deserves 6 stars. Az displays the essence of hip hop in this classic. I have no ideal why this album is not certifed platinum; The 50 cents of the world can sell millions while constantly spitting the same old stuff(ill rob and kill you), without the true gift of lyrical talent and flow. On the other hand, Az brings you into a focus realm of knowledge and flow. The album is incredible. AZ delivers a message to the youth, a track for the ladies, and a incredible track where he puts his fan mail to beats. Amazing! This album is almost 2 years old and it remains in my car. A classic, enough said. STOP SLEAPING ON AZ. THIS IS FIRE! Keep real hip hop alive!" Critically Acclaimed ,Verbally I'm Sickly Insane.... Enlightened | Atlanta Georgia | 06/27/2002 (5 out of 5 stars) "AZ's back and best believe he is better than ever. This cd was a surprise because it aint even been a year since his last album 9 Lives. But ya better know that AZ was still hungry and this hunger and prowess on the mic makes Aziatic his best album to date. As a matter of fact this is one of , if not THE, best album so far this year. It is competing with Nappy Roots Watermelon, Chicken, & Grits, which was an amazing debut album. One thing is for sure I am definitely enjoying this cd. The production is top notch and had me doing cartwheels and jumping up and down excited. A-1 Performance is easily the best song on the album. The beat is just OFF THE HOOK. And the singing by the women is just bliss( Nobody can do it better than AZ! Oh yea ), AND add in some Micheal Jackson samples and you have got yourself AZ's best song ever. Better Than Problemz, Better than Mo Money, Mo Murda, and dare I say it; Better than Sugarhill. The whole album is just banging. AZ is an amazing rapper. He has the smoothest voice and flow on the East Coast. Like a more laid back and lyrical Method Man. He is on point. He's just ripping the songs to PIECES with his lyrical dexterity. Once Again, which has a familiar beat (Onyx Slam Harder), is another one of AZ's gems. Wanna Be There is a nice relaxing joint with INCREDIBLE background vocals and samples. This song he says rather poetically "some men see things the way they are and say why?, I see things that never was and say why not?" The Essence Feat. Nas is another one of those laid back songs that has AZ & Nas going back & forth. The crooning in the background is once again marvelous. This aint some corny gimmicky background singers and samples, this stuff is hard. Props to the producers. Every song is hitting, Fanmail where they utilize another trill sample with some singing in the background and AZ is sorta reading his fan mail. The cd is just so soulful and I can't describe accurately the beats. They just have to be heard so bear with me. I'm Back is the single and it is blazing. The rest of the songs are off the hook as well: take IT Off, Paradise, Hands In The Air, Rebirth, Hustler. The only song I aint feeling much is Take Care Of Me.I can't express my approval of this cd. It's better than Stillmatic so if you liked that you will go CRAZY nuts when you hear Aziatic. It's the type that make you do backflips because it is so refreshing. Its just that good. It WILL be in contention for Best Album come end of the year. And clocking it at just under 50 minutes it aint a chore to listen to and it keeps you coming back for more. And believe me those 50 minutes will go by QUICKLY. Buy it Buy It Buy It. Five Stars."
