this Elzhi dood is dope...he makes true remixes...similar beat but different... similar style but different, and hes dope lyrics...a truly well done remake of a classic this is RARE
I can dig it. Makes me want to pop in some NaS now. It's good to hear from Elzhi and see he's still doing his thing ... I haven't really listened to him since he was featured on the Minstrel Show. I'm gonna have to pick this album up
This guy will sessions doing illmatic instrumentals is awesome. That seems so fun to play, and now i get some sweet instrumental throwbacks to rhyme over. who doesn't like music live more than from a computer, Tupac knew what was up
"Don't make me show up to your porch with a spiked bat; and leave your front and rear tires on your bike flat." So much to quote in less than 3 minutes. Love it.
@2188ful.. you got it right. all these so called hip hop heads need to do some research. and for all you fools makin stupid comments, go listen to his whole CD - elMatic, and see how he gives mad love to NAS. the Prince even gives him mad respect on the CD!! this cat been around for a minute, wake up people!!!
@Trolls4Ever He just made a tribute to Illmatic to remind the people of the original. I read an interview and he said it was for his enjoy and to make illmatic more famous. Elzhi doesnt need a come up by covering songs, he was in the biz before in the group slum village
@TheLittleProRapper He did a tribute album called ellmatic and most of his songs on his channel are off of that album. All the beats are redone by will sessions but the names are the same
Completely different rappers, i dont dig Em, not saying he's not a brutal lyricist its jist not for me. Elzhi on the other hand is str8 lyrics over and over hardly hooks real hiphop
@IronCook1 Elzhi - The Out Of Focus EP (1998) Elzhi - The Preface (2008) Oh, and did I mention he was part of Slum Village?... He has plenty of original material, don't judge him if you don't know your shit.

The Nas of Detroit
I'd love to hear Elzhi make a song with Black Thought and The Roots
and Hex One
fr
Fam I was 15 when you commented this now Im 25 and I still agree
No one wants to hear that corny ass east coast shit
ima be honest i aint heard this joint in years and i still remember the verses like it's the original

rhyme patterns are so insane
Murdered it! The perfect balance of new and old. Great tribute.
perfect balance of timeless ♾
Elzhi gets slept on
Incredible.
this is the best song ive heard in quite awhile
Elzhi's a beast on the mic. Surprised he hasn't blown up more than he has..
Damn people still sleepin on Elzhi... this was dope 10 years ago and I still come back ✌
Agreed
This dude reall brought hip hop back, Illmatic is a classic and the way he made it from a Detroit point of view is awesome
Dude. Spit. Bars. Never heard of him before and if you only listen to the radio, you never will. I'm impressed.
he is way to underrated! this is the first time ive heard him and im stunned! get some of his songs on the radio so he can become big!!!!
this is another tribute to nas, not a competition...
elzhi too dope for today's rap game...
Hahaha I know everybody thinks he's trying to top nas.
Elzhi has quickly become one of my favourites since listening to his stuff from start to finish again. He's crazy dope.
this Elzhi dood is dope...he makes true remixes...similar beat but different... similar style but different, and hes dope lyrics...a truly well done remake of a classic this is RARE

12 mas 2024 ❤
❤10h 43 ❤
this man mastered rhymes, hes toooo fucking nice!!!!
Damn I've never heard someone that's mastered Nas's delivery and flow like that until today down to the wordplay,
andrew martinez haha. Nas sucx compared to EL.
Curtis Cutastrophe you funny
@@curtiscutastrophe277 El is definitely better, but Nas sucks compared to El? Ehh lol that's an overstatement
@@curtiscutastrophe277 "Nas sucks" is a ridiculous thing to say
Nas owns this dude stfu all yall
I respect him for bringing hip-hop back
classic sound. good.
I can dig it. Makes me want to pop in some NaS now.
It's good to hear from Elzhi and see he's still doing his thing ... I haven't really listened to him since he was featured on the Minstrel Show. I'm gonna have to pick this album up
my favorite rapper. the best mc right now. elzhi always sick with the flow, patterns and lyrics
god is good for answering our prayers for real rap
hell ya been waiting for this
He’s up there with the likes of J Cole and Lupe Fiasco. Glad I found this hidden gem
He’s higher than them. Those are both overrated.
J Cole defs overrated af
he should do a cover for live at the barbeque
Says who. Do you.
Dope dope dope, where you been man we need ppl like you to revive hiphop
This guy will sessions doing illmatic instrumentals is awesome. That seems so fun to play, and now i get some sweet instrumental throwbacks to rhyme over. who doesn't like music live more than from a computer, Tupac knew what was up
Dope album!
finally elzhi is on vevo!!! and all from elmatic. really proud to be a fan!
Now if only he does a song or two with AZ, then my life would be complete
would love to see nas & elzhi on 1 track
I think you can fit 11 people on a short-bus....
This beat is actually better... I wouldn't slip on a snowy night.

elzhi is a beast
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
@Trolls4Ever He just made a tribute to Illmatic to remind the people of the original.
I read an interview and he said it was for his enjoy and to make illmatic more famous.
Elzhi doesnt need a come up by covering songs, he was in the biz before in the group slum village
robezy0 he cant make Illmatic more famous... its known as the Greatest Hiphop Album of All time
This album was so 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Straight here from 'Spited' never too late !
Hello!! This dude been around!! He's from the group Slum Village!!! Go look up "Selfish" by Slum Village, so ya'll can be like Ooooooooo!!!
@TheLittleProRapper He did a tribute album called ellmatic and most of his songs on his channel are off of that album. All the beats are redone by will sessions but the names are the same
Fuckin' masterpiece!
He is too cute!!!!
🔥
@ZradJebmongs agreed but elzhi is not a new age rapper, he's been around for years
in all honesty hip hop like this makes me happy
its also a free mixtape
1:58 is that Kon Artis?
good stuff bro
Nice!
This is crazy
Nas has 3 verses
Keep it up man.
@smashbrosfiend he already is relatively famous, he was in Slum Village (the group that J Dilla was in)
I like.
raps got his swagger back
@Annatar3469 it never left
People, please check out "Not Here Anymore" feat. Elzhi. That Joint is HOT!!!
I wouldn't slip on a snowy night...
WOW!! Its been a while since I heard REAL HIP HOP!!!
Damn only 4500 views? this is good shit
Real hip hop
Too dope. Elzhi is much more doper than Eminem🤞🏾🙆🏾♂️
Completely different rappers, i dont dig Em, not saying he's not a brutal lyricist its jist not for me. Elzhi on the other hand is str8 lyrics over and over hardly hooks real hiphop
This dude is a fucking MONSTER! I hope he gets famous.
@IronCook1
Elzhi - The Out Of Focus EP (1998)
Elzhi - The Preface (2008)
Oh, and did I mention he was part of Slum Village?...
He has plenty of original material, don't judge him if you don't know your shit.
@slimshadyeminemmathe New York and Detroit
All we need for real hip hop
heee maaaaaadd
How dare you forget Esham, probably the most underrated artist out of Detroit.
Now THAT's rap shit!
@bmthfool1 It's a tribute.
Reminds me of a young Nas and Kool G Rap.
Sam sam sam why you following me brag?
What?
Lol I see you on every video with your ole twelve year old lookin ass
MrFALLENHER0 Ight bro
Booooooy joeys album is really good
Waaaaaaaaatttt 🤯
this is niiice, he aint no nas though, and as soon as he uses the beat he opens himself to comparison
@Annatar3469 lol you just discovered nowadays' good music...?
this song gained 15k in2 days
übeeel ;D
How come all his songs are to the beat of NaS' and have the same name? Still a beast though
nice
Man i love Nas version so much but goddamn I can't stress of SOLID of a remake this is. My favorite track from elmatic. Just a damn shame it's short
I WANT THAT HOODIE WHERE CAN I FIND ONE ?
Fuck he did as goood as nas x
