Serious was the first track since How Ya Livin' where Nas outrapped AZ so it's probably best left as an unofficial entry in the Anthony Cruz catalogue, and shelving Final Call was a rash decision on AZ's part when the album was cut from the same Coogi sweater & Evisu denim cloth as his previous full-length Aziatic and contained a bunch of great songs which he could've condensed down into an EP and then sold independently in New York as he'd done 4 years earlier with S.O.S.A promo CD when he faced similar issues after departing from his Noo Trybe Records deal.
You can't buy Final Call or anything from it on iTunes/Amazon etc because AZ had a fall out with Bob Perry, and all the RAR file links to it are probably dead at this point, so ya boy Ho Hattie Collins right chea whittled it down to its essentials and uploaded the results for doz dat slept. No Magic Hour because CL Smooth sounds like a Tomtit on a round of beef over that beat, no You Know even though I love it because it might be a bit too Rap & Bullshit for all y'all savages, and I ripped No Strings Attached from the Anthology compilation because it's mastered better than the one on Final Call.

ReplyDeleteNice work. Didn't know about the AZ/Cam/Nas thing.
ReplyDeleteI came here tonight wondering if you had offered your thoughts on Red Magic yet. Lo and behold, an AZ post at the top of the page but still no reference to the new joint...which seemed to appear right after you requested an AZ summer jam in your top June tracks post.
ReplyDeleteRed Magic is aiight but it's not quite the jiggy summer jam I was hoping for.

ReplyDeleteMy edit without that Lemon bloke's spoken word interludes and Quiet Money Anthem is better, imo.
ReplyDeleteCheers bud, have to show this to my local member of teamAZ
ReplyDeleteThis clears up the "wtf lost classic" misapprehension I had cos once I heard it I axed half the songs. ngl theres a heap of Memphis Sessions songs that are now the preferred ones for me.
Memphis Sessions versions of Doin' That and This Is What I Do are godly.
ReplyDeleteExcellent
