az the format the album apprecation

[the rhyme king]

Young and gifted my tongues prolific
In the beached bungalow is how I brung in christmas
From the streets I'm a flow from the hungriest districts
Switch kicks, crisp when I come to them picnics
Play it slow, paper chase, stack, and lay low
Range rov, tinted all black the same old
Psychic mind, writes his ryhmes
Still turn the new leaf on my life of crime
No concerns with new beef whos as nice as I'm
It's confirmed from feet I'm still a sniper blind
Built my fame, spilt my pain
Politicing daily still tryn to milk the game
It's obvious that I'm real rap skills remain
I took some change and I'm still the same...

Bump since today is the anniversary of the release of this album (2006). I just ran through it again

This album is the epitome of AZ's career. Talented emcee, he can rap his ass off, make some good songs, but only has maybe 2-3 cohesive albums. You got gems like The Format, Rise and Fall, This Is What I Do and then bullshyt like Doing That and Damn It Feels Good.

The Format is a really underrated Premier beat. And AZ killed it...
