Nailed it. Especially the AZ thing. He has always made solid albums, just never hit that near classic/classic album. He has it in him, and he has aged well. Still sounds as fresh when he did all those years back.
Give him a solid production lineup (a lineup that will give him their best tracks), take his time writing/piecing it all together....I hope it happens for him because if it does...everyone wins. He wins & cements his legacy, and we win because we’ll have that AZ album to to listen to/decipher/etc.
