[seleulC]

I'm extraordinary, I know your ex, shorty

Extra with the head, but the sex ordinary

FIRE WORD PLAY...

[Boonader93]

What are the lyrics from 5:15 to 5:35, I just wanna make sure I know the right lyrics.

[ChocoMiIk]

I love the jazzy ending in this song

[HipHopEnthusiast1]

it's mine it's mine it's mine who's world is this,....IT'S YOURS!

shyt iz illmatic kid haha.

[TroyD199]

@HipHopEnthusiast1 .....You pick the bridge as an example..

[Capothekid]

He looks like stephan urchil

[TheMegaTronKwam]

Yo

I'm going Rambo, fan dough is moving pretty damn slow

The blam blam turned the Trans-am into a Lambo

Scram yo, my Soul Calibur is like Namco

I dance on track but these niggas is Sambo

As soon as I heard this I knew this was going to be one of my favorite tracks on the album.

[302sk8juncky]

this is amazing

[V1PVIP]

Greaaat :)

[yezzir197]

"Cock sucker, glock ducker, money-in-the-sock tucker, you watch the block I watch the stocks fucker"

Soooo dope

[Soo35cool]

Elzhi is a good lyricist but you can tell he wants to be just like Nas n shit

[puppetmaster09]

@Soo35cool how so? Elzhi he is paying homage to Nas's illmatic. but elzhi has his own style. you can tell in the production of the ELmatic mixtape. obviously its his intention to make hip hop heads reminisce of nas when making his interpretation. besides if you were to listen to him when he was in slum village you would see that he doesn't "want to be just like nas n shit". - P.E.A.C.E

[NightscapeProduction]

I remember listening to the orginal when I was younger on tony hawk underground, it was the song that got me into rap music, I'm so glad elzhi is redoing illmatic, he can't do it better then nas but this proves he's doing a fucking amazing tribute

[SoulSeeker20]

Fucking monstrous.

[GoGetter18]

fuckin amazing... whos on the piano after 3;50?

[Gho5t10]

what a fuckin beat

[MrFreshkicksman]

the reason he is awesome is because hes not mainstream look at the veiws

[EaZiiDuzzIt105]

There is something to be said about an artist who uses numerous intelligent rhyme schemes

[Eziokilla9595]

I like how he tributes Big Proof. Eminem and Royce would be proud.

[dpat2004]

I feel what you trying to do homie but Illmatic just cant be topped. HANDS DOWN the greatest hip hop album ever. Only to be imitated but never to be duplicated. Dope lyricist though.

[kleankutkilla]

Elzhi is the only rapper PERIOD who could have re-did Illmatic whithout ruining it

[Eziokilla9595]

@kleankutkilla True, true. I'm not saying he's the best rapper ever, but Immortal Technique, Big Daddy Kane, or Eminem couldn't redo this album on Elzhi's level.

[malo376]

U guys are dumb,listen to the version u like better and quit bitching lol this song goes hard in my perspective.

[pinheadthegreat]

ill

[DaveNTwana2K9]

Amazing version of this track. Piano solo sices the ending

[BAGAKOOS]

elzhi know how to make a tribute goddamn!!!!

[Primal141]

@MrBonis614 nah I dont think its dope...hence my comments...its ok...Im not hearing nothing innovative...yall people that think something is tight just because its new...yall really kill me

[MrBonis614]

@Primal141

nah, we think it's tight simply because this is better than 95% of hip-hop being released in 2011

[flipgood89]

@MrBonis614 .....elzhi is one of the best....whether its 2011, 2001, 1996, 1991, 1986....I dont give a shit --- Money spits acid.

[nhwhiteboy12]

IF YOU LOVE HIP-HOP SUPPORT HIP-HOP. CHECK OUT “HIDEFINITION -I’M READY, YO!” AND HELP GET THE TALENTED ARTISTS THE RECOGNITION THEY DESERVE. THUMBS UP IF YOU’RE FEELING THIS!

[Primal141]

alright look and listen..."My insight enlights vision words of wisdom niggas pay me in tuition to listen to murder paragraphs of mysticism"--nas

lol...just a small peice of 1 of nas verse...kills everthing he said on the whole song

[MrBonis614]

@Primal141

if you don't think this is dope, u need ya ears washed.. sure, not as good/original as nas, but el is killin it in 2011

[flipgood89]

@Primal141 ....we all know nas is the goat, but if you dont think that Elzhi is one of the nicest to ever pick up the mic, then you aint listenin hard enough.

[Primal141]

loooooooooooooooool...nerd rappers....AHAHAHAHAHAHA...plu­­s the saddest part is...NAS ORIGINAL KILLS THIS SHIT!!!!....AHAHAHAHAHA....wha­­t a dumbass!

thats like trying to jump from the foul line like jordan...but instead you jump from the spotted circle inside of the foul line...lol...major-dickrider

[coolnesss16]

Took a classic and made another classic out of it :)

[rashidkasim]

nas said on ether "since '91 i am the truest..name a rapper i ain't influenced"...nas was on point with that line. we all know illmatic from a hip-hop standpoint is like stevie's songs in the key of life or thriller from the late great michael jackson...all time classics but i must say EL did a hell of a job with this showing his respect for the legend Nasir Jones!!

[stardj2]

i used this jam as a motivation to get my first million

[camilus23]

happy bday 2 the god Nasir

[kendrajonesdol43]

This Right Here Is Mad Hard I Know Nas and Pete Rock Is loving this check out Jay Electronica My World Nas Salute The True Hip Hoppers Know Nas Is that dude we need this in the world. R.I.P 2pac, Big L ,Eazy E.

[DETROITDEATHGOD]

elzhi the realist out here much love from cody

[princeatom3121]

sounds lik a live verison.

[decep3107]

Oh goodness. This is beautiful. The original beat still gives me chills, and this one definitely brings back that familiar feeling I had when my mind was blown back in '94. Can't believe it was almost 20 years ago...

[YolaBears]

Fucking thank you Elzhi. It takes courage or stupidity to try and take on the best hiphop-album of all time, but he killed it like it was the most natural thing in the world. The reproductions by Will Sessions is fire too, I love the jazzy outros.

[1stHumesgirl]

Omg dude killed this shit dude is hard as fuck is he still with slum village but this is a good song he remaking history wit this shit dude hot

[artlin77]

Check the technician

neck glissin

I'm on a

catch wreck mission to rock

u shocked

like an electrician

sheesh...

[stevo463]

i hope NaS has listened to this tribute. my friend burned me Elmatic and i have had in playing in my car for like a month. so fucking solid.

[killlilwayne]

Attention Nas fans Listen up

On September 14th we gotta all watch "Nas Is Like" in honor of Nasir Olu Dara Jones' Birthday, We gotta give him the respect he needs and give him the highest viewed video on YouTube!! Let's give him what he deserves and what these fake ass motherfuckas (any rapper on the radio) don't deserve to have

Copy and paste to all Nas' videos and all music videos let's get this shit noticed.

Thumbs this up so people could see

[KaratCake]

This dude decent but real QB dudes ain't feeling this dude right here, even with a co-sign don't trying to recreate 90's classics and clone ppl. If you down with REAL QB hip-hop..

Show it by having something that only 50 ppl in the world get a chance to have.

/watch?v=m_CTwTWvRNA

Get those offical QB shirts, Str8 from QueensBridge as you will see. Only 20 left dun!

[robertonova1]

u just dont get it. and you're on here trying to sell t-shirts.......

[KingAuthor83]

@KaratCake Actually Elzhi been doin his thing for years with his own shit. I would respect your opinion but then what do you do? Try to promote and sell shit so I. Elzhi killed it stop it. Pleas link me to who you think could kill it more

[KindredSpirit83]

This shit is RAW!!! I had to listen on here and then my mixtape

[1manmafia]

"I'm extraordinary, I know your ex shorty. Extra with the head but her sex ordinary." Elzhi is too sick man..

[bandicoot2ps1]

i never thought elzhi would rhyme on this beat again,after i heard the first freestyle he did to it i thought the beat would have pressed charges and got a restraining order on him

[JuniorFromTheDee]

OH MY GOD

[eagles1036]

"im the champion, signing both breasts of the trampy blonde eating shrimp scampi, I leave your whole camp behind

cause in the grand scheme i see your plan schemed

ya off brand team, filled with jerk off minus the hand cream"- - - ILL

[RIxVNDS]

Everyone is saying how Nas would hate on this. I doubt that. With the shit on the radio today.. He should be happy someone lyrically can compare to him.

[grandfathamantis]

EL is not comparable. No one currently rapping comes as hard as he does. End of story.

[taylamadesoul]

@grandfathamantis True indeed.

[NellStalgya]

My soul calliber is like Namco.

My Killaz got you gorrillaz slippin on banana pill,(He did not just said that),God Damn)

You chocked like a electrician,withouth correct vission,you cant see me I cock the glock and shoot it through ya tv like it''s easy

(God damn,you see how he let the topic of that Bar go to the other Bard,Damn.

I know i seemed cooler but im cold blooded didn''t mean to fool yah,(Woow)

my pen is penatration that produce word that bleed on the pad like menustration (Oh Shit)

[MEKoBane718]

This is a tough remake, Elzhi goes hard, sounds real clean

[realitycheck87]

Nas is the only artist that his peers try to directly imitate and emulate and they are not ashamed to admit it. From lupe to common to elzhi to saigon, etc. No other mc can say that. Not even big or pac. And he's still living and he's better than ever

[MrJAV90]

this is perfect .elzhi sorta has the same tone of voice like nas

[NellStalgya]

@MrJAV90 word up but he uses more syllables

[Soulexr2]

the production on this song is amazing

[vic91cis]

ELZHI IS SUPER DOPE! NO MC TODAY'S GENERATION CAN'T TOP THIS DUDE! MY TOP 10 1. Nas 2. Elzhi 3. Phonte (of Little Brother) 4. Royce Da 5'9" 5. MF Doom 6. Lupe Fiasco 7. Blu 9. J. Cole 10. Black Milk

[1manmafia]

@vic91cis Nice list. Check out Jay Electronica. That dude is on another level.

[dtsjr1227]

Dayum this is dope!!!!

[philhouse64]

"my pen is penitration that produce words to bleed on a pad like menstration" uh i just im not really sure what to say when i hear things like this....how do you come up with this shit?!?!?!?!?!?

[bgerla1]

this is the best song ever made

[MegaMontana100]

Geniale Neuauflage eines Klassikers + Live Instrumente

[supastaroftokyo]

damn his skills are matriculating so immaculately , love it!

[MetalFaceKing17]

@supastaroftokyo damn dog you destroyed the whole dictionary

[supastaroftokyo]

@MetalFaceKing17 lol is that a good thing?

[MetalFaceKing17]

@supastaroftokyo yes .... big words are dope

[supastaroftokyo]

@MetalFaceKing17 Thanks!

[frithjof99]

that is so GOD!

[bustamo321]

elzhi is one of my inspirations on becoming an MC one day foreal tho especially with the patterns he be using...dELZHIb

[DaanOFF321]

By far my favorite track off of the tape, I was dancing the other day on this one, elzhi just doesn't stop tearing this shit up

[NiteOwl22]

Love this track.

[mayvon444]

this shit is garbage...its like lookin at a bad remake of a classic movie that should not be touched

[sup3rmunky]

@mayvon444

I DISRESPECTFULLY DISAGREE! How can you fault the man for paying homage to a Brilliant MC/Album. And you swear like Elzhi sucks on the mic - GTFOH! This shit is fuckin' amazing!

[POeticNYCtv]

@mayvon444 "ehlzi went off on this ur a hater man...a bad one at that"

[mayvon444]

@POeticNYCtv if im such a bad hater then why did my comment aggravate you enuff to respond to it? and im a hater...blah blah blah yada yada yada. i aint losin sleep over this guy, trust me.

[ClifffSVK]

@mayvon444 yell this in Detroit and wait few seconds, please

[mayvon444]

@ClifffSVK if i had even a slightly different reason to even be in Detroit, who knows -maybe i would

[druha10304]

has nas even commented on this?

[NellStalgya]

@druha10304 if nas hates on this he gonna loose some of my respect for real,you cant hate on this,seriously

[YouthfulEquity]

@druha10304 nah, i think nas is speechless

[battlerags]

@druha10304 Yeah, Nas gave Elzhi his blessing to do the project. All the people hating because Nas did it better or worse back in the day are missing the point: it's dope new hip hop. You wanna listen to some bullshit you're on the wrong page

[LinxAudio]

@battlerags For real man!

[YungRell121]

Is el singing on the hook? Doesnt matter anyway this shit is fire.

[MPire91]

Living Legend! Most Underrated!

[matthewjamal]

this whole mixtape is fuckin fire though.

[judgement81]

@matthewjamal It should be mandatory for new rappers to make a mix tape remake of Illmatic. If they kill it like El then they get a deal!! haha

[MariosLasagna]

Nasty Nas in your area

[Ril3yIzBac]

Did he take that Chippendales line from MF DOOM's song, "Beef Rap" lol. I'm a huge hip hop head i catch weird shit like that all the time.

[RainyDaiyze]

@Ril3yIzBac You aint the only one. I caught that too.

[BigBoss20]

@matthewjamal Eh, rappers bite each other's lyrics all the time. No big deal lol

[jgrange]

@matthewjamal Elzhi's Chippendales and MF Doom's Chippendales lines are completely different and constructed in different ways that if you could actually comprehend the lyrics you are listening to you, you would see(hear) that. How is there no doubt that he heard them before? How do you know?

[matthewjamal]

@jgrange come on you think he never heard "beef rap" before?? not saying he is a ripper offer...but i feel like he should have known mf doom said something to that caliber before. OR atleast the same words that rhyme.i know im bein nit picky though so i take it back lol it just kinda urked me a bit.

[sup3rmunky]

@matthewjamal

MF Doom borrowed from KRS-ONE on the "Money Folder" song from the "Madvillain" Album. What's the difference? Just because MF Doom used a chip n dale reference, no one else can? c'mon man...

[ViLLyViLLz]

mega dope!!!! eLZhi is a real ass nigga

[McLaReN212]

i need the instrumental

[Prestjen]

Heard on LEFTO's show. Great Song.

[MrJoep101]

This is good cos I say so!

Now check out Versatile E - My Way

and then tell a friend to tell a friend!

[wisdom7789]

TOO DOPE!!!!! WOW NAS HAS INFLUCENED A WHOLE GENERATION

[chirimumimba121]

OMGGGG!!! THIS HOE IS TOO DOPE...." MY CLICK GOT GORILLAS SLIPPIN ON BANANA PEALS"....."THE BLAM BLAM'LL TURN A TRANS AM INTO A LAMBO"....WTFFFFFFF

[squarepusher645]

sorted tune.

[Kabman89]

Nice lyrics! And the beat sounds like its being played by a band!

[CoreyC313]

@Kabman89 Will sessions is a live band that produced all these songs for elzhi on this mixtape. Great stuff.

[MoodMuzikFilez]

@Kabman89 cause it is lol

[wado1]

@Kabman89 thats because it was played by a band. The whole album is a live band.

[sdotagain312]

Fire!
