This guy is bananas, I mean I dont think any other spitter could pull this off and the people accept it. I think even a hardcore NasHead could appreciate this. This is Hip-Hop Conceptualism and its finest.
I’m a purist and usually this type of thing could bug, but this shit is dope as hell. I seen a lot of people bitchin’ on all the blogs.
Never heard much from Elzhi, but I be definitely looking out for this and anything else from him from now on. They switched it up just enough to make it sound fresh and be more than just ridin’ over the old instrumentals.
The music video was just as standard as the all the other music videos where rappers just recite their lyrics and wave their arms. But I enjoyed the track as Elzhi’s flow and lyrics are ridiculous
Lyrics are dope but honestly I don’t like this Illmatic cover production he’s using. IMO he should just ditch the covering illmatic idea and come out with his own thing.
Dope as fuck. It’s nice how he is putting his own spin on each of the tracks, not just copying them.
And what’s with the Mr. Porter cameo? Did he produce it or something?
and @myjestik, of course the original is better you idiot. Illmatic is legendary and it’s not meant to be better, just to show respect to the original.
OK WHEN A RAPPER IS DOING A REMIX OF “TUPAC BACK” SUCH AS A BIGGIE’S BACK OR LEFT EYE IS BACK, THEY’RE UNORIGINAL, IT’S GETTING OLD AND KILLING HIP HOP. BUT WHEN IT’S ELZHI TRYNA PUSH A MIXTAPE AS AN ALBUM USING THE SAME BEATS WITH A SLIGHT SWITCH UP SO HE CAN GET OVER, HE GETS A PASS. FUCK THIS NIGGA. NEXT THING YOU KNOW WHO GONE BE REMIXING ELVIS SONGS BECAUSE BOTH OF THEIR NAMES START WITH EL. FOH.
^How is that even comparable? And why are you typing in CAPS LOCK? :/
And got damn!! Elmatic is looking to be a classic! If the rest of the tape got the same quality as this + dsom, I honestly don’t think anything but Chico & The Man is gonna top it this year..
We’ll see though, we’ll get some quality music regardless :D
first. dopeness.
WOW !!!!!!!!
