    AZ is certainly better lyrically and as a songwriter, AZ had it all the commercial appeal, the charisma, the lyrics, everything I don't know why he didn't have the career that was expected.

    I get emotional when I listen to AZ man. The dude has this sound in your voice that gets you into the music and just focuses you on what's coming next. He talks a bit sloppy tho and it takes a few listens to get what he's saying.

    Rae is ill, but he ain't AZ ill.

    better raekwon =)

    better catalogue really?? he got the best album with cuban linx, but az been a lot more consistent than rae throughout his career, there was a lot of hype around cuban linx 2 and it was pretty good but az dropped legendary and i am legend that same year and they were just as good if not better, and no one even gave a ? about rae when he dropped the lexx diamond story which wasnt that good, and i like immobalarity but the general consensus is that its a sophomore slump, az never really dropped a weak album, he could of came better with some but they were all banging

    agreed even though i only listened to only built and its sequel from raekwon, but thats only cuz i heard his other ? was wack.

    i've heard everything AZ except his last few mixtapes. every cd he did after undeniable was just a mixtape i didnt check for. but doe or die, pieces of a man, AND aziatic are all masterpieces to me

    and i think someone has to say it, raekwon can make a classic LP, but rap wise he's one of the weakest in the clan. besides ugod and masta killa

    I concur with the above statement. I couldnt vote because of the way the question was worded.. Az is definitely more lyrical and has a better flow with a better solo catalogue. Raekwon's solo catalogue has two classics and a half.. only built for cuban links, part 2 which is his latest and maybe the 1st half of immobilarity like 6 or 7 trks if that much. AZ on the other hand only has classics under his belt everything from" Doe or Die" from 1994 -1995 all the way to "the format" in 2006 was fire! I havent heard doe or die 2 yet i'm searching for it now but im sure its dope.. But the point i'm trying to make is that as a solo artist AZ has a much better catalogue and his lyrics and flow is definitely tighter. Raekwon has 2 classics and is a part of a Legacy who changed hip hop in the 90's

    AZ all the way. Raekwon doesn't stand a chance as solo artist. His albums were only good, when he had RZA & Ghost next to him. AZ tends to steal verses from other MC and even though his status is minor these days, his catalogue is much stronger than Rae's.

    do not sleep, a mixtape to me is when you have a dj, freestyles, and recycled beats, it aint nothing like that, they may be labeled mixtapes but legendary and i am legend are better than undeniable, and we both like undeniable im not hating but it was some of the best production hes got since the format and he still rips it
