  • Lyrics to this song & many of his others are real, just what i was looking for! Finaly :)

  • the worst top comment wow y did 7 ppl thumb up a lie oh well distracted im sure

  • If I had a chance to get signed, I would think twice now, thanks to El for the heads up, appreciate!

  • He looks so similar to Nas in that picture haha, but still, Elmatic was an excellent ode to Illmatic. I cannot wait till his next album drops.

  • Man this is so dope! Lyrical storytelling is on a level of Kool G Rap! Hearing you rap is like hearing G Rap in his prime. Also he is still rapping peace bro! Yo much success to you. I listened to Slum Village though at that time I didn't have the cd.

  • Better than Verbal intercourse but not the Deja Vu Nas track. thats what the original verse n verbal intercourse is from

  • @InfamousAct stfu this is not better then verbal intercourse

  • @busymike It really is dipshit

  • @InfamousAct No it's not you faggot. Rae, Ghost, Nas > This guy. 14 year olds these days...smh

  • @busymike you think i'd even know who wu tang and the members are if i was 14? Stfu idiot you dont know me

  • @InfamousAct Yes, you have the internet fucker. That's where kids learn things and I "know" that you're fucking retarded. I definitely "know" that.

  • @busymike This id Better than Raekwon and Ghostface verses. NO denying it

  • @InfamousAct Whatever... No use arguing with a little kid who has no idea what he's talking about.

  • @busymike i think he got ya on this one brah, elzhi is one of the top 3 pure rappers in this day and age

  • @PacersFan6 Bull. Only a teenager would say something like that... Not only is that retarded, but it's blasphemous as well. Elzhi is a good rapper, but even his best songs are not touching Raekwon, Ghost or Nas especially. He could never be top 3 when those dudes are still rapping... When AZ is still rapping, when Common is still rapping, when Inspectah Deck is still rapping, Pharaoh Monch, Mos Def, Jay Electronica.... There are plenty of rappers who are better then this dude. Top 3 my dick. lol

  • @busymike whatever, dude if you dont mention k dot, you obviously dont know sh*t.

  • @busymike and that fact that you dont mention black thought is beyond me, faggot

  • @PacersFan6 Black thought is better then him too.... You happy? haha

  • @busymike none of the cats you mentioned are on the same level as eLZhi at this moment. ask pharoahe monch.

  • @rmsg120nsb Most retarded comment of the day goes to msg120nsb.... I'm sick of you underground dickriding nerds

  • @busymike not an underground dickrider at all... just the way myself and a lot of people see it, nothin' retarded with that. everyone's entitled to their opinion, so there's no need for you to desrespect anybody that doesn't agree with you. have a nice day.

  • @rmsg120nsb "A lot of people" meaning people on the internet who dick ride underground rappers. lol But you're right, you can have an opinion even if it's wrong.

  • @rmsg120nsb you sir are a fuckin moron.

  • @SolidSnake240 yes i am, because i don't think by myself and care too much about what other enlightened minds - like you - have to say.

  • PURPLE TAPE...that RAW $hit!

  • dooopppppppeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee­eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee arghhhhh i love thissssss

  • i heard this two years ago

  • this night I dreamt that someone said '' its not like you get three tries to rise like G5's'' in a freestyle, i was so angry because i knew it was from this elzhi song haha..

  • SKYWALKER - BARTON BLOCK

    FOUR LATINO EMCEE'S, TAKE A LISTEN, AND DROP YOUR FEEDBACK...

  • dope track and the beat is off the hook

  • Can we get a super human album consistin of all the best of the midwest, such as Elzhi(L's High)ya didn't know dat he was referring to weed consciousness, then let's go Twista and royce da 59, Cnote(the one who stays wit ben franks-who is this?), Kanye West and Lupe Fiasco. This is what you call the Flame.

  • @cnote777jadig don't forget Common!

  • Damn

  • Good looking , you went home ETC studio and did your thing loving each and every song. Thanks for the ol'school beats back.

  • and for the people cryin "this aint original", it aint a tribute to nas cause hes "dead" fools, its a tribute to an era, style, and level of hip hop that only exist as a part of history now in the heads of those who valued it. and if youve turned on your radios or tv in the last 10+ years i dont have to tell you that lyrics and rhymes have become a fucking joke.

    by thw Royce 59 is a fucking lightweight and Elzhi runs fucking circles round him. El is 95% of the lyrical substance on Motown 25

  • @encdee

    while i agree with you almost 100% of everything you just said

    you're wrong about two things.

    1. Elzhi's Elmatic was almost a COMPLETE tribute (excluding this track) to Nas and Illmatic. You can see it in his style, lyrical content, he pretty much sampled all the songs on the album and ran with the same (if not similar) themes on each song. I agree with everything else you said, but just know, this mixtape, Elzhi said himself was a "homage to Nas & illmatic"

    2. Nas is NOT dead!

  • @Mon3ymike90 "represent" and "detroit state of mind" are the only tracks that really follow the original concepts, other than those tracks, elmatic concepts are completely original, far from bitin'. nas ain't dead, but you gotta agree his recent spittin' is dope but it ain't "it was written"/"illmatic" status, just sayin'...

  • @encdee While I agree almost entirely with this post ... Mon3ymike90 having pointed out the homage to Nas ...

    I have to say Royce is far from a lightweight. I wouldn't put him on quite the same echelon as Elzhi, but he's proven time and again that when he focuses in his lyrical ability can match a good proportion of the elites.

  • @YungPinero no doubt. I gotta admit Im not the most familiar person with 59s catalog. i dont even really remember why i commented on 59 seein as how hes not even on this track. Mostly i guess i was just thinking of it from the stand point of 59 being the one who filled in for AZs verse on the "lifes a bitch" track. I def dont think 59 is comparable to AZ so i was probably just talkin shit...

  • elzhi can spit it but i miss rzas original beat

  • @encdee what beat?

  • @Pai001 the original "verbal intercourse" on Raekwon's Only Built ForCuban Links album.

  • @encdee Dam, makes me feel old that you actually have to point that out. Blessed to be part of a CLASSIC era at the same time.

  • PEACE

  • Who could dislike this  if they like hiphop

  • FOD

  • F.O.D!!!!

    

  • F.O.D!!!!

  • Since Dilla left, Elzhi was the only one who made me keep caring about Slum Village. So the break up wasn't a big deal to me. I'm just glad that he ain't slowing down. Keep it movin' El, you're one of the most talented spitters of all time.

  • One of the best song I ever heard ... Fuck yeah !

    Instrumental is fuckin crazy and ElZhi flow is so smooth !

  • how old is elzhi?

  • @danyl123 30/31 i guess.

  • @danyl123 I'm pretty sure he's 32 or 33.

  • @danyl123 im sure like 34 or 35

  • gotta dig that luxurious beat

  • Why is Elzhi do almost all of his mixes to Nas songs. Don't get me wrong Nas is one of the greatest. Probably best with the ]word play. But for real its kinda like an obsessed fan or groupie or something.

  • @97822626 It was something that elzhi done for fun

  • @97822626 this came as a bonus track for elmatic which was a tribute project to illmatic and available for free download. and this was the first and last time he did mixes to nas songs.

  • @97822626 elmatic was a tribute mixtape to nas

  • Wack ass corny biter. 

  • @DownloadDoctor1 I agree. Come up with your own classic. Enough with the biting.

  • @Noomega18 he ain't bitin' no one. hater.

  • @rmsg120nsb He bit Rae and Nas with this joint. Rae and ghost wer complaining about "Shark biting ass negroes" on the very album this song cam from. It's quite ironic. Do you own shit Elzhi and be original.

  • @Noomega18 he's not bitin'. first: eL, royce and guilty made a version of verbal intercourse in a mixtape with the original beat and eLZhi made this the part 2 which has nothing to do with the other versions from the beat to the concept, you'd know that if you were listenin' instead of talkin' non-sense.plus, this mixtape is to pay homage to Illmatic, it is a tribute from a fan that actually can rap and it is a FREE MIXTAPE.he didn't want to release this anymore but his fans pushed him to do it.

  • @rmsg120nsb I don't waste time listening to stuff that is repeating things that have already been done. Royce is maybe my favorite MC at the moment, probably. Skyzoo is in the running too. I was disappointed to hear he was engaging in this blashemous act of biting. I copped his latest joint with EM, and will be purchasing "Success is Certain" when it drops. I only purchase and listen to origianl music sir. I am not into biting.

  • @Noomega18 dude, you're the waste of time, not eLZhi lol. this is a free project, so no one would ask you to purchase it and if you listened to it you would understand how damn wrong you are when you say this is a copy. is just a tribute, get over it. seems like your butt hurts or somethin' and eL is better than the 3 dudes you mentioned. if you want to listen to you're favorite mc gettin' smashed by eLZhi in the same track listen to "motown 25" or even royce's "verbal intercourse" version.

  • @rmsg120nsb Nas ain't dead. Hip hop is in need of new original music not tribute albums. Gangstarr did a tribute song to Big L but they didn't remake his music. Elzhi ain't touching Nasir or Royce. Skyzoo mixtape with original music "the Great Debater" shits all over this biting mixtape of Elzhi. Elzhi is talented but he offers nothing new. If he did, he would be making original music. He could have made new material instead of this. He is going to stay second tier going this route.

  • @Noomega18 i told you he didn't wanted to do this anymore, the fans asked him to drop it, so he made it free. each song has the same name as the original but the lyrical concepts and writin process are actually different and the live band makes some beats soundin' even better than the OG's. if you think eL ain't touchin' royce, nas or skyzoo, you're completely wrong and if you think he can't bring nothin' new, clearly you didn't listen to the preface.

  • @Noomega18 plus, SV legacy wasn't considered 90's music, most of the props they got was in this century and i consider them legendary, 'cause there was no sound like slum village music and eLZhi, even though he wasn't an original member, was always the best lyricist in the group. if you don't like this or eL is aight to each one his own, but there's no need to be mad at him 'cause of the great he did.

  • @Noomega18 thats what im sayin nas is still rapping dont pay tribute yet, come up with ur own shit. In total jcole, elzhi, and jcole are 3 biters who will never be as good as nas and should've not copied nas rhyme patterns, beats, and cd format..pce

  • @TheMelkManNYKfan i mean fashawn instead of jcole

  • @Noomega18 Plus, you're like the 12386472387th person in eLmatic youtube videos that's talkin' the same bullshit over and over and i'm gettin' kinda tired to explain the same thing over and over again to ppl who are constantly judgin' others too quick. listen to the fuckin' songs!

  • omg elzhi is the best rapper when i heard reunion that shit he said made me cry i known how he feel

  • I jump through the hoops God manufactures,

    Life is not about anything the camera captures,

    Your own lens is the window to the action,

    When you have a whole picture why settle for a fraction?

    I am the Ghost of Michael Jackson,

    I was dreaming of the normal while my legend was being fashioned,

  • @lalee33 Who is this ELZHI or U? Whoever it's NICE!!!

  • @reggiemunch its me lol thank you so much!

  • Those last few bars was speakin to me. Elzhi dropped the mixtape of the yr with elmatic!! detroit rap bringing heat this yr

  • this wasn't on the mixtape right?

  • @dedxsad nvmnd its pete rock shout

  • just got this album. repeat on bonus!

  • G.O.A.T..

  • I prefer this version of the song over the mixtape version anyday. I just wish it was as mastered as the tape version!!! Regardless, keep doin what you do EL

  • @YoungSleepl3ss same exact song?

  • @silvboi Same exact song, but if you compare this version of the song to the one on the tape, the beat changes up differently

  • lil wayne dislike this shit

  • every time i look at comments on any of elzhis songs here on youtube i see lupes name pop up!! they dont even sound the same

  • @lordkasten

    Skater's hero = Lupe

  • Be sweet if him and pun coulda done a collaboration...oh well

  • Elzhi is fire. I am too I gotta hit the studio. You can check the two short spitn I did on my page.

  • Yea T3 is a bitch ass nigga straight jerk Elzhi and to make matters worse Elzhi was 100% better rapper than T3.Elzhi keep murderin them cowards.

  • sick beat

  • ima 16 year old emcee from NC, and i want YOU to check out my channel. im definitely worth the listen. everybody says hip hop is hidden and you just gotta know where to look... if so, im tellin you where: just click my name! you WONT be disappointed

    -PS: im a aspiring artist! lol. n i wonder if this took some shots at T3....

  • @imPulse1919 Yeah u can rhyme...do something to the 6foot 7foot trac...its crying to be killed and check out Rules of Rap by Page Kennedy feat. Elzhi...its tremendous!!!

  • Fuck t3.... hes detroits version of Solar.... elz tha best nd he made a mistake by not glorifying it, instead he tried to conceal his gr8ness... this is elzhi's "FUCK YOU" to T3 yuhhhpp

  • i wish skyzoo and elzhi do a track or a mixtape together!!!

  • oh my god im fuckin amazed

  • he needs to do a track with Lupe for reall!!!

  • @irRASSINal1 Meh, Lupe's not that great. He needs a track with Diverse and Blu!

  • @ArbyWanKenobi lool you really think so?! why do you say that? that's interesting, I think you're the first person I've ever heard say that about him

  • @irRASSINal1 I dunno, I lost any respect I may have had for him after hearing about how he handled the production on Lasers.

  • @ArbyWanKenobi fair enough. I haven't heard Lasers yet so i'll be keeping an ear out for that

  • @irRASSINal1 If he does a song with jay electronica,lupe,blu and j. cole

    .....They will all get the recognition automatically theres no way all them can get on a track together and not get some attention that shit would get like 100000000000 views

  • there's no one rhyming in this day and age that's on el's level. p.e.r.i.o.d.

  • So glad El bounced on wack ass, chubby fuckhead T3

  • This is directed towrads T3, right? I've heard from many people that he's sorta been the poison of the group lately...

  • As much of a fan that I am of Slum Village I'm kinda glad that he's on his own now. SV hasn't been the same since Dilla left the group and I felt that he wasn't gonna get his shine if he stayed with the group. This dude is nice...I've said it before, he's a "Detroit Nas".

  • 14kt is too nice, Elzhi was like the messiah, just blessing the beat

  • i guess there was a Gucci fan who clicked Dislike lol

  • WOW! ELZMATI in the words of Bart Scott: "can't wait!"

  • Nobody has his type of commitment to the structure of a verse...Canibus and Kool G Rap maybe...

  • Nice.

  • Wow... Couldn't have said it any plainer... ill joint.

  • 14kt and elzhi? gaddamnnn!

  • elzhi all fucking day!! he jus does not know how to spit a wack verse... this beat was smoother then gods vagina as well..

  • You can tell that Barak Records hurt this man's soul...for real.

    

  • @BlackJackNapier yeah you can feel it

  • Appreciate this El and 14kt good 2 cu -u deserving!

  • Oh and respect to 14k....the most underrated producer in the world. Nobody talks about this cat at all.

  • @flipgood89 A project beetween these two men please!

  • One the best joints I have ever heard. I knew this shit was special the second it started. Niccas cant say rap sucks when we get shit like this. Yo, hats off to Elzhi, this track is remarkable.

  • Dope shit homie...Props from Cali...BABARS

  • Elz one of the greatest artist the cultures ever had with a lyrical skill pretty much unparrelled, there's only a handful of cats who can hold up with El on the mic Black Thought for example n he's also who I'd love to hear an Elzhi track featurin... Imagine Elzhi feat Black Thought over some J Dilla

  • @ThePerceptual elzhi + black though = legendary

  • Thats what makes el stand out. Ive been listening to slum village since the early 90's when dwele was an emcee and that guy is vicious with it too, low key. So, before el came the slum village back then was classic, but when el came, he enhanced the group to a degree that help t3 out. He makes get better when i listen to el. Thats what its about. cats need to stop hatin and get back to the fundementals of writing.

  • The reason for slum village breakin up is the villa manifesto album had elzhi on a few of the tracks on the entire album. Elzhi came is 07 beastin on the mic and I guess t3 got upset cuz every body started lookin to el and not t3. You have to understand something, just cuz you are a founder of a group dont mean you should get mad, cuz a new member comes in, on another level that you can t comprehend. Elzhi has a certain philosophy when it comes to writing and no one has that except for him.

  • Damn son, this nikkas a beast. When is this mixtape coming out? Let me know.

  • Hey this song then inspired me to keep going... Literally I know what the People want. HIP HOP baby. Keep these names in mind -- JCole Jay Electronica Talib Kweli Mos Def Big Krit Currency Stalley Jakk Frost Lupe Fiasco Much Love to Hip Hop -Souljah Ali
  • Whooa.. much love

  • WHERE CAN I FOUND THE MIX TAPE?

    DO SOMEBODY HAVE A LINK FOR THIS?

    THANKS

  • @biglevel93 it's commin' out this month

  • @rmsg120nsb first time I heard it was comin out was April 09', don't count on it

  • @mightyhealthy08 jae barber(his manager) said that it's commin out by the end of this month and elzhi said him to stop all the cheap talkin' and they agreed to give a release date this week.

  • @rmsg120nsb i hope so, but til i see a phyical copy, im gonna stay cynical

  • @mightyhealthy08 may 10th

  • @rmsg120nsb seen on NR....bout time, lookin forward to it

  • theeee only syllable scientist created!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Elzhi and One Be Lo

    The Best to ever do it.

  • Elzhi has been always on point.

  • Smooth tune, dope flow. As expected.

    eLZHi > Your fav rapper.

  • shyt is ill

  • el is the best in the game period. There is no one livin on planet earth right now, that is strategic with the flows like he is. He is definitely one of those who does his homework as far as his flow. This cat is a genius and aint no body seeing this dude at all. I just wish he was still with slum cuz he made that group and dilla passed him the torch.

  • @trinityzion1 WOW!!!!!!!! I guess some ppl really do love hip hop and tell the truth on youtube!! Best comment Ive seen in a long time.

  • damn shit was ill I'm deff bouta get that elmatic..when does it drop

  • all the good mc's that come up in your mind can't fuck with this cat right here. man, i will be pleased if he jumps on the booth with nas or blu and if he signed a fuckin' major record deal, he would've killed the game already. best out right now and definetly one of the best ever...

  • Joe Budden and Joe Budden are the top 2 in the game

  • @tkirch99 buddens is great but he ain't fuckin' with el...

  • Fucking sucks that Slum Village is beefing with each other...

    RIP J Dilla

  • I can't wait for eLmatic

  • His flow was perfect. The beat was beautiful and gritty! Would love to hear J.Cole or Budden on this beat.

  • @905inco he should just get a remix with both of them cuz joey and J.cole would be a blessing on a ft with elzhi on this beat.

  • One of the very few artists who can do a godlike follow up the already amazing Verbal Intercourse.

    Fuck watered down Detox, where that Elmatic at?!

  • eL shits on anyone in the game right now and for years to come.

  • "I thought it was great to be finally signed / But little did I know I made a huge mistake / I found out the label and the manager was fake / And the person that betrayed me the most was my partner / Though all three would be the reason for my departure," before continuing, "I'ma show 'em / That it was nice to know 'em / Or maybe I should hoe 'em / And throw 'em in a poem."

  • MAn everytime this man releasess a song it gives me the goosebumps!!

    BTW is he talking about his SV time 2 verse?

  • @groente12 yes.........he was talking about how T-3 (the last original SV member) was letting the label play elzhi on the money..........it's more complicated obviously but thats the general idea

  • Dopeness
