Az- Aziatic appreciation thread

Definitely, love this album esp. in the summer. So many smooth tracks, this is AZ at his best, even if he was doing that dumb ass talking before every track thing, I don't even care. I bought this album when I was 16, the day before I flew to La Paz for a ten day trip around the Sea of Cortez in Southern Baja. I have memories of staring out from the yacht listening to 'Wanna Be There', and 'Paradise', seeing nothing but the Pacific ocean. On a fukking discman lol. That was ten years ago this June. Crazy.
'Hustler' has a better version without that wack ass verse by Animal, talking about chainsaws, two AZ verses, and one Trav.

Great album. A couple songs stopped it from being a classic though

Yes, with a little editing and trimming, it would have been...short of a classic, but near perfect, as it is, it is personal classic/favorite to me, AZ albums post 'Doe or Die', are always gonna have 1-2 'wtf' joints, I mean, 'AWOL" had some terrible tracks, so did 'Nine Lives', pretty much every one. 'Hands In the Air' and the other one though, had decent production, and hooks, course AZ killed it, they were just unnecessary, not offensively bad.
Well, commercially, nah, the single for this was.....'I'm Back', I believe, and that shyt didn't get any play at all, video or otherwise. AZ was done commercially after '9 Lives', and that was because of 'Problems'. He hasn't been commercially viable since the late 90's, and it was marginal after that. He kind of choked with 'Pieces of a Man'.
