@ThumbsUpMike kinda, he is from a grimey city like Nas and AZ. and he is influenced off Nas but not only him, there's some big daddy kane, rakim, and others . he even made a mixtape dedicated to nas called Elmatic case you havnt heard it. he's been nasty since a young age like Nas... he put his first album called "out of focus" in 97 when he was like 18-19 years old... Elzhi is one of the greatest rappers so yeah alot ppl will compare him to Nas but what they rap about is completely different..
He just Yapped Nas classic flow so you really cant rate him whether he paying homage or not its not his to style for us to judge. He does a good imitation tho.
@hiddenmic1978 comparisons comparisons comparisons... thats all hip-hop fans do nowadays i guess.... Nas does not rap like this... comparing Elzhi to nas is like comparing Nas to Rakim.... Elzhi been doing this shit since 97... nobody was comparing Elzhi to Nas before Elmatic came out.... do your research
You like new hip hop? Well go check out my music, it doesnt hurt if you got some spare time.. plus if you like what you hear.. download it, its free...

"you melt faster than a freeze pop, in 100 degrees, El sunning Emcees he's pops"..... NOW THATS AMAZING WORD PLAY RIGHT THERE... i realized how great that line is on Mushrooms lol
for some reason this track only makes sense when its loud as hell.... my monitors be working to separate the sounds in this track... This is not for clock radios AT ALL...
@ManuelirvinClassics 1:01 he has the same clothes as Nas in ''it aint hard to tell'' video, only less baggy. He got a little more energy than nas imo too
only if Elzhi was a bit younger he probably get more exposure but this nigga is like 32 and has been in the game for a while, so i understand why he is very underrated, regardless of him being an underground rapper
@Chappell5252 You say that as if Eminem is unbeatable... you sound pretty bias towards Em... he wouldnt kill Joe Budden... if anything it would be close.. Eminem aint the rapper he used to be... he still clever with the punchlines and flow... but his ability to write good songs is not like how it used to be... unless he is holding back on good material... Joe Budden as been releasing way better material then Eminem has these passed few years... Em's last 2 albums suck ass specially Recovery
Eminem isn't much of a rapper anymore. He's a Hip-Hop Legend/Icon. Royce is retiring soon. Success is Certain was allegedly his last album. Elzhi is just reaching his prime, however, and will likely follow the same path as AZ or Masta Ace. He'll be an overlooked, but well regarded MC who will slay cats behind the scene. Elzhi is the best in the game right now.
Venez voir mes playlist rap us - fr . ( bustaflex, ntm , oxmo , lunatic , dre , gangstarr , public enemy , 2pac ... et plein d'autres ! ) Go on my playlist for listen some good rap Us-French !!
@McLovinMcNugget yeah but only in terms of the quality of the music they've released recently homie...i guarentee eminem would dominate elzhi freestyle
@verbaledge you dont listen then you wont know. How you gonna prejudge a song just cause you dont like the name of it??? C'mon dude. If you open to listen to the other tracks, listen to ALL of THEM. I list them for a reason. Yea, maybe this Hip Hop shit isnt for you anymore. I think you missin' out, but whateva. Imma keep knockin' it in The Black Ack'! 1 Hunnid!
@Cdrouin50 true... but if only he was putting as much dope music as Elzhi i would def concider him one of the greatest all time..... Im hoping Jay's debut album will be classic.. i got high hopes for him.. Hopefully he will show these J Cole fans what true debut album is all about
@mrpostman730 did that.this guy might have gotten me to listen to him 10 years ago when he was just starting out. not saying this guy is lame or can't rap just saying i'm tired of the same old thing. you can't tell me this guy is so original that he's elevating the game, he probably helped to do that 10 years ago. i want something new and hip hop isn't doing it for me right now. respect to any musician that puts their music out for criticism. i won't be downloading this album, but that's me
@verbaledge go listen to 'The Preface" Colors, Guessing Game, D.E.M.O.N.S, Brag Swag and Talking in my Sleep.........and tell me who done the concepts before and who version was betta, then get back to me.
@mrpostman730 no way am i listening to a song called brag swag. sounds like frat music...that d.e.m.o.n.s. track was good but im still not convinced that hip hop has anything new to offer, for me. i was always interested in musicianship more than lyricism anyways so we are probably on different pages. i probably shouldnt have lumped him in with all the other commercial rappers but even underground hip hop is overssaturated. to each his own
@TheCityofgood nothing is wrong with him. it's a solid song. just feel like i could have been listening to this a decade ago, and my collection is full of this type of music. maybe i'm just getting old, bored, and cynical
@verbaledge hmm, i see. I dont know what rappers is in your collection but only a hand full of mcs could really see eye to eye with elzhi when it comes to strong lyrical dexterity or being dedicated to creative multi-syllable/rap pattern manipulation. Sure hes not completely original but he is distinctive from many other mcs in terms of his topics & rhyme schemes he comes up with. U dont have to, but i urge u to listen to his album preface all the way thru before u abandon el completely.
@TheCityofgood will do. i'm sure im just waiting for someone to slap me in the face with something new and not giving this guy chance. i'll give him a try again when i'm not in such a pessimistic mood about the over saturation of hip hop
@verbaledge alright, and if u do indeed listen to it all the way thru and is still not feeling him then oh well at least u can say u gave him a real shot. Keep in mind this dude's no rookie, hes been around for over 13 years now and was mostly known for being a member of slum village before he went solo.
@YoungKelzCT yeah man you def can make the argument that he's the better than Em and Royce da 59... in the majority of songs he has with Royce da 59, Elzhi out did him... and that says a lot cause Royce and Em have out done each other on some tracks so Elzhi can def go toe to toe with any rapper in the game
@YoungKelzCT testament to elzhi skills that i won't even hate on that comment even tho em is my favorite and the best rapper ever to me. royce can't be slept on either...
@PlusVans look up his video on patterns.. just type elzhi and patterns you should be able to find it easy... he can explain it why better than i can and he drops examples..
It's funny how people say Eminem's the best, but they never heard of dudes like Elzhi. No disrespec to Em but he's obviously good, but there a lot of great rappers these mainstream rap newbs. never even heard of.
You should just check it out. I am an artist from California in the Bay Area who does Hip Hop. So check it out and if you like it Download it.. Its free yo
elzhi is my main inspiration for rapping, i swear! I'm like 2 hours away from him, in grand rapids michigan, and i remember when i met him, he too humble! lol. and i remember remixing his Motown 25 song (in response lol), always wondering what other people thought about it.
every rapper should look to this guy to get better. nuff said.
IF YOU LOVE HIP-HOP SUPPORT HIP-HOP. SEARCH “HIDEFINITION -I’M READY, YO!” AND HELP GET THIS TALENTED ARTIST GET THE RECOGNITION HE DESERVES. THUMBS UP IF YOU’RE FEELING THIS!
HEY EVERYBODY, my name is Jared. Im 15 and from NL Canada, I started writing lyrics when i was seven years old. And my first music video came out today. Its titled .Numb Destiny. I would really appreciate a thumbs up on this so people could get to see my stuff, thanks for your time. Peace
Are you kidding me my dude? Definitely swagger jacked the hell out of Nas... I mean he has a nice flow and lyrics, but... definitely bit his style by a far margin...
@SunRys1 look, i won't debate it, if that's your opinion there's not much i can do but i can tell you they are very very different from eachother, just got some similarities 'cause i grew up listenin' to both and eL as always been like this before this whole nas comparision shit and that's a fact. when i'm listenin' to eL, i know i'm listenin' to eL even in eLmatic. if cats were really payin' attention they would know, rhyme patterns, flow, subject matter is different. honestly,both in my top 5.
That is respectable, but El definitely came after Nas.. so how old are you my man lol. I respect your opinion, but... any clear MC can tell his flow is being copied here. If Nas is cool with it, then that's all good, But this Elzhi doesn't deserve any fame, if respects aren't paid, and he's getting all dues for doing this. If anyone else thinks I'm wrong when I say this dude straight up jacked his lyrics/swag/flow. Then fine so be it.
@SunRys1 i'm 18 and i'm portuguese, been listenin' to hip hop since i'm 8/9 or so, i mc too, i know the elements and i know nas came first,but eL didn't come too many years later,he's been in the game for 12 years and never drop a single whack verse ever since and i got almost all the material from both.all i tried to tell you is since eL went solo he became even better and this comparisions started and i didn't even understand why.then i heard el was droppin' elmatic and it became clear to me.
@SunRys1 So Nas didnt take ANYTHING from Rakim???? Yo, this biting shit is really gettin' tired......Damn, if the dude nice with it, what EXACTLY is THE PROBLEM???????
@xjev not the same flow and delivery at all, beats are re-created, song names are the same but most of the times it ain't about same topic and the rhyme patterns are way different. i mean that's my judgement but it's all good.
Im tha...bellringa, shell slinga/hidin bodies til tha smell linga/until dey pale as rene zelwinga/when EL sting ya, ya feel it like ya braille finga.....just that much alone kills 90% of the artists in the game now.
ELZHI!! too dope, hes got a damn good fanbase to be as underground as he is. Hes in my Top 3. He sais "rap is now suckin ass, full of new school niggas i wouldnt fuckin pass". Comin from the new generation of emcees, people think i suck automatically. But i put on for real hip hop, and i think my real heads can recognize that. Wanna keep this ish alive gotta support the newschool niggas... i bet i would get a fuckin pass. lol, check out my channel though.
@imPulse1919 that tractorbeam joint is dope.. keep workin on you bro, real hip-hop will never die.. i dont think El meant to diss all new school emcees, but more the likes of those bunch of mainstream fags, that aint nothin but fake images.. RAP MINUS LIES WILL ALWAYS REMAIN HIP-HOP!
Elzhi is the greatest MC spitting on the MIC right now. Please name another MC that is spitting better than him right now, Pharoahe Monch? No. Eminem? No. Canibus? No. One Be Lo is right behind him as of now.
@ReturnOfTheZ 'cause eLZhi goes beyond Pharoahe Monch. Pharoahe Monch, Royce and the whole SH crew, Sean Price, Jean Grey said that ain't nobody touchin' him right now and from all the hip hop i listen to, that seems like a fact to me.
@rehtlh Slug is my favorite artist of all time, but his last few releases have been only above average, not great like all of his previous releases up to "you cant imagine." He's fallen slightly from his status at the top of the underground game. Elzhi could very well be the best rapper out there right now.
@IEtherianSoul9 I can only categorize someone as 'greatest' of a certain way or style. Saying someone is the greatest is too general of a statement. Elzhi might be one of the best at his style but noone is the greatest rapper I just dont think it is fair to even ask the question "who is the greatest rapper".
@TimsMusictube Wayne isn't a beast. And he's categorized because he sounds like a lot of other rappers. He has too much emphasis on his mediocre punchlines, and doesn't concern himself with flow anymore. Old Lil Wayne? Sick. See "Shooter" for how he should rap. Haven't seen anything like that from him in a long time. He, like a number of other mainstream artist are based off their reputation, not skill. Which is why they are categorized... In the complete shit category.

Are you kidding me my dude? Definitely swagger jacked the hell out of Nas... I mean he has a nice flow and lyrics, but... definitely bit his style by a far margin...
SunRys1 2 months ago
@SunRys1 look, i won't debate it, if that's your opinion there's not much i can do but i can tell you they are very very different from eachother, just got some similarities 'cause i grew up listenin' to both and eL as always been like this before this whole nas comparision shit and that's a fact. when i'm listenin' to eL, i know i'm listenin' to eL even in eLmatic. if cats were really payin' attention they would know, rhyme patterns, flow, subject matter is different. honestly,both in my top 5.
rmsg120nsb 2 months ago
@rmsg120nsb
That is respectable, but El definitely came after Nas.. so how old are you my man lol. I respect your opinion, but... any clear MC can tell his flow is being copied here. If Nas is cool with it, then that's all good, But this Elzhi doesn't deserve any fame, if respects aren't paid, and he's getting all dues for doing this. If anyone else thinks I'm wrong when I say this dude straight up jacked his lyrics/swag/flow. Then fine so be it.
SunRys1 2 months ago
@SunRys1 i'm 18 and i'm portuguese, been listenin' to hip hop since i'm 8/9 or so, i mc too, i know the elements and i know nas came first,but eL didn't come too many years later,he's been in the game for 12 years and never drop a single whack verse ever since and i got almost all the material from both.all i tried to tell you is since eL went solo he became even better and this comparisions started and i didn't even understand why.then i heard el was droppin' elmatic and it became clear to me.

@xjev not the same flow and delivery at all, beats are re-created, song names are the same but most of the times it ain't about same topic and the rhyme patterns are way different. i mean that's my judgement but it's all good.

ELZHI!! too dope, hes got a damn good fanbase to be as underground as he is. Hes in my Top 3. He sais "rap is now suckin ass, full of new school niggas i wouldnt fuckin pass". Comin from the new generation of emcees, people think i suck automatically. But i put on for real hip hop, and i think my real heads can recognize that. Wanna keep this ish alive gotta support the newschool niggas... i bet i would get a fuckin pass. lol, check out my channel though.

Elzhi is the greatest MC spitting on the MIC right now. Please name another MC that is spitting better than him right now, Pharoahe Monch? No. Eminem? No. Canibus? No. One Be Lo is right behind him as of now.

@IEtherianSoul9 I agree with all of that, other than the Pharoahe Monch part. Elzhi isn't seeing him.

@ReturnOfTheZ 'cause eLZhi goes beyond Pharoahe Monch. Pharoahe Monch, Royce and the whole SH crew, Sean Price, Jean Grey said that ain't nobody touchin' him right now and from all the hip hop i listen to, that seems like a fact to me.

rehtlh 6 months ago
@rehtlh Slug is my favorite artist of all time, but his last few releases have been only above average, not great like all of his previous releases up to "you cant imagine." He's fallen slightly from his status at the top of the underground game. Elzhi could very well be the best rapper out there right now.
eagles1036 6 months ago
@IEtherianSoul9 I can only categorize someone as 'greatest' of a certain way or style. Saying someone is the greatest is too general of a statement. Elzhi might be one of the best at his style but noone is the greatest rapper I just dont think it is fair to even ask the question "who is the greatest rapper".

@TimsMusictube Wayne isn't a beast. And he's categorized because he sounds like a lot of other rappers. He has too much emphasis on his mediocre punchlines, and doesn't concern himself with flow anymore. Old Lil Wayne? Sick. See "Shooter" for how he should rap. Haven't seen anything like that from him in a long time. He, like a number of other mainstream artist are based off their reputation, not skill. Which is why they are categorized... In the complete shit category.
