No one who really listens to hip hop underrates AZ. He is certainly underappreciated by many, but not underrated. If you've listened to both of their full discographies, I think it's fair to say that the quality of music coming from them has at the very least slightly declined over the years.

I'd say nearly everyone on that list has declined, most those artists came into the game with some dope albums, and their recent albums are not better, so that is a decline...
