lmao are you serious? Krit definately can tackle Elzhi. I show no biased dude, and as a musician over all, Krit completely flatlines El(Same for j.cole: Both make can make their own beats[destroy them] and their songs almost always have a better overall sound, especially beat wise) and lyrically Kendrick can handle Elzhi(Kendrick is alot more diverse than him.)
By saying "I laughed hard(when I mentioned them)" is saying that you think that they do not stand up to Elzhi. Which is a comparison. Don't say that you need to hear more material now that someone has went into a little detail on why these people can be on level or better than elzhi.
lupe is a good argument.. but if you think that j cole and big krit are messin with elzhi your nuts...j coles best qualitys are his word play and puchlines while elzhi spit metaphors, storys and poetry, none of these guys are as meticulous and sceintific with the break down of their bars as elzhi so its impossible that there flow is better.. and i need to see more stuff like section 80 from kendrick lamar which was by far his best project
I almost didn't dignify you with a response, but I feel as if you deserve to be educated on this.
J.cole spits metaphors and similes, he tell stories and is poetic. Big Krit is the same way.
Elzhi's best quality is his master of multis. And elzhi's flow is pretty much the same all the time, I swear this nigga never changes tempo unless he is making a soft ass song like flyest.
Kendrick Lamar's flow is far beyond Elzhi's. Ex: Rigamortis, Look out for Detox, Heaven and Hell...
@0194D also storytelling is usually a trait that is developed unless your a natural like slick rick or biggie and none of the guys with the exception of lupe even come close to elzhi in that department
And what does it matter if someone develops their story telling ability or they are a natural(COMPLETELY IRRELEVANT)?. The ability to tell a story is ALWAYS developed, it is just that people like Slick and Biggie developed it BEFORE they started recording music, they probably developed it in English class.
@0194D how is that irrelevant im saying that these guys just arent developed enough to even be mentioned in the same sentence as elzhi...krit is like the poor mans kanye lyrically, and i dunno how you can say american rapstar and the vent are true stories.. charles hamilton can freestyle better than those tracks and hes not near elzhi...krit is underdeveloped..hes good but hes not a phenom..david banner is better.. j cole is braggadocio..ur really gonna compare tracks like premeditated murder t
@0194D true..but yea i dont think elzhi has never been a rapper and thats what makes him so comparable to nas..a lot of people will say biggie is better than tupac lyrically..but tupac wasnt really a lyricist..he was a poet..so i guess its all opinion
Its only opinion if you look at it from a large scope, if you look at it at a very level and detailed view and separate things into categories it becomes factual. Like who has better stories or more creative punchlines.
What? A rapper is anyone who raps. Geez people need to quit acting like being a rapper is a negative. For the longest niggas been trying to say oh this person is a lyricist not a rapper, nigga please a rapper is a rapper shit.
No, it is for people who like to not make up bullshit definitions. You have nothing factual to say after I proved you wrong so you just typed the first spew that fell from your clownhole. This is over.
@Triplen01 Some of my favorites are Motown 25, Fire, Colors, Love it here, Save Ya, It ain't hard to tell. He is also featured in Black Milk & Bishop Lamont's album- Go at it.(Sick verse), Chali 2na- When will i see you again, DJ KO- best to do it ft. Royce da 5' 9", Supastition and Elzhi. That should get you started. :)
@Triplen01 Check out his free album "Elmatic"...it pays homage to the famous Illmatic album by Nas, and does it plenty of justice. Just google "Elzhi - Elmatic" and you'll be able to find it.
@SuperRob64x Come on now....We know elzhi is good lyricist buy you act like he has no competition around him.....Nas? Lupe? Blu? Budden? AZ? Raekwon? Black Thought? etc....people act like he god
Yeah they dude act like he is Jesus or something. Elzhi is overrated by his fans. Don't get me wrong, dude is really good but his main fans act like he is the top lyricist. There are rappers who are a lot more diverse than him.
@0194D idk man if anything elzhi is underrated maybe overrated by his fans but underrated overall..there arent too many emcees that can match him bar for bar
Elzhi is no where close to being underrated. He is overlooked. Underrated means that he isn't giving credit/respect for what he does. Almost everyone admits that elzhi is good, even non fans. He is overlooked b/c not everyone pays him attention. I swear some "old heads" of hiphop got the definition of these words mixed up so bad that they got others messed up with the meaning.
@0194D im sayin tho how many people would have elzhi in their top 15 or even top 10..to me hes a top 15 guy without question and borderline top 10..the fact that he is overlooked means that he doesnt get the respect and credit for what he does, and the reason for that is because hes mainly an underground artist ..name 15 emcees that are fuckin with elzhi..its really hard to do
Being overlooked is simply people not being interested in your music(regardless if they like it or not). I overlooked the rapper who is now my favorite rapper, I heard a song by him and was like "Nice but not good enough for me to download his shit".
15 emcees "fuckin with elzhi"
Big Krit, Kendrick Lamar, Andre 3000, Big Boi, Mos Def, Talib Kweli, Jay Electronica, Nas, Blu, Raekwon, Ghostface, Freddie Gibbs, Lupe Fiasco, Ab-Soul, J.Cole.
Fail....Lupe can definately go up against elzhi(definately not in a real freestyle battle but in a comparison of lyrics) Lupe is a master of double metaphors and story telling. Kendrick is just as diverse as El but he doesn't always do one thing alot like how el always does multis. And J.cole is far better than you probably think, actually j.cole and elzhi style is a lot alike(just that cole makes beats = bonus points). But elzhi and cole def can go tit(lol) for tat.
@SuperRob64x Yeah We all know he looks up to Nas....and wouldnt dare say he better than him...he made a entire album after illmatic....cant be serious
@TheMelManNYKfan Of course ive heard of them dog who the fuck hasn't but you honestly can say that nas or az (cornega) is nice but i don't think you overstand why i say that about Elzhi you don't understand the bar for bar the metaphor inside of metaphors wrapped around an anomaly covered in an enigma submerged in a riddle. That's the type of shit El does dog you NY niggas don't get it yall think everybody on that coast is the greatest

@0194D man this song is ill shit, elzhi's one of the best to ever do it, but get the hell out of here man, the point of listening to hip hop is to bump to real shit, not to pat yourself on the back because you think you're more enlightened then other people
I just read back on the talk about KRS talking, and Jay-Z and Em, so on.. ofc jay-z and em cant talk shit, they still in the game, that would hurt them. still IMO they should speak up. but!
- to the point, I was checking out j cole again the other day hadnt done that for like a year - dunno why. but I saw this video "Nas talking about Drake and J cole" and I couldnt even click the link cause I was scared to hear nas talk about drake like he's good. atleast in the same video as j cole
this is one of the greatest songs ive ever heard, period. no disrespect to biggie or pac or the same top 5 doa artists everyone always mentions but im on that shit where the artist is still alive making good ass music im tired of hearing the same fuckin argument put artists like this motha fucka in that list shiiiiit...and to the 3 dislikes...IM COMING FOR YOU, I WILL FIND YOU AND DESTROY YOU...that is all
does it matter who thinks who,s the best?aslong as you know what the real shit is then thats all people should worry about!i aint got time to sit around arguing about who,s the best its intruding on my listening time!
THAT WHOLE TOP 10 B.E.T IS BS, NO PLANET ASIA, NO ELZHI, NO UNDERGROUND HIP HOP, FUCK B.E.T SOUL THEIR HIP HOP SOULS FOR THE CASH, I'M NEVER SUPPORTING THAT WACK ASS YOUNG MONEY BS OR THAT WACK ASS GUCCI MANE BS FUCK THAT WACK ASS HIP HOP SOUND THIS STRAIGHT UP UNDERGROUND HIP HOP ALL DAY
funny story. i'm 25 and in da navy, da other day i was taalkin to this 19 yr old dude fresh outta bootcamp, and da dude had da nerve to tell me lil way, da whole young money crew is iller then NaS, AZ, Elzhi, little brother, mos def, and talib kweli. should i punch him in his face or what, please y'all lemme know
ha ha ma boi ant-dilla put me on, i'm a big fan of da late j dilla, mf doom, slum village, little brother, blu, ma dude nicolay, the foreign exchange, but till a month or so i neva listen to any solo ish by elzhi, and the dude is ill, real hip hop right here
im 13 & im the only one it seems that doesn't jam nicki minaj, lil wayne, waka flocka flame etc.... mainstream music is catchy but there's no meaning behind it... I respect all these underground MC's 100%
juss put onto eLZhi unforntuately.... but glad i found him.... dam dis dude spits fire..... Black Milk is so nice behind the boards!! every beat he puts out is FIRE!!!!!
And on a Elzhi video, why are 90% of the comments talking about Lil Wayne? Can we use this space to admire the skillz of Elzhi and give him some props. Or alternatively, register that this is yet another dope beat by Black Milk.
I haven't listened to radio in almost 12 yrs cuz that's when I started to notice how bad things were getting. Just today I tried to watch MTVRAPS for the first time in years. "All white everything" are u f'n kidding me? "Lemonade" by Guccia Mane?? wtf is happening? I was so heated. I had to go in my room and bump some Little Brother and Pharoah just to wash that s**t off...
Seems to me like mainstream rap is hiphop devolved. It's like the music is produced for kids.
I am becoming a hip hop head, i guess but I like lil wayne at times, his media shit is bad(lyrically), the only reason ppl listen to it is b/c he gets on good beats and his flow is unique, but I give dude his credit, he is average and has a really good flow sometimes but there are times when he gets lyrically, like on scarface or no quitter go getter. He is average, plain average as a rapper to me.
"The other 1,998 songs are true hip hop like this, and a very few alternative."
Nah, most of his songs are too, materialistic, and sex obsessed for him to be true hiphop to me. Even as battle rapper he is that good. He has some songs that are true hiophop, but not as many as you said, probably like max 15.
I like dude, but he gets too little and too much credit at the same time.
Yo, are you saying Elzhi isn't what is generally referred to as real hip hop?
And honestly, subject matter and choice of topics doesn't define whether or not you 'real hiphop'. For example J DIlla, whom you'd have a damn near impossible time trying to prove that he's not 'real hip hop' and to be honest he talks shit on a LOT of his songs. Also Sean Price/Heltah Skeltah are shit talkers,but guess what as real as it gets.
And the term 'real hip hop' is subjective. Saying 'real hip hop' is kind of the same essentialist view that has resulted in all the hating and screwfacing that happens in hip hop, kid!
but my question was were saying that elzhi wasn't real hip hop?
Aiiight. Elzhi is straight grime. Probably one of the best rappers alive. My point is hip hop has become too polarized with too much hating. And as much as I don't like lil wayne, and I think he is retarded and not a particularly good rapper, he is doing his own things.
Your last two points are much more coherent than your first two. I still stand by what I said about the "I'm becoming a hip hop head" comment. I just 'real hip hop' is as vague term which is little essentialist by nature.
I don't like them either, I personally feel that atmosphere is really overrated they have good lyrics along w/ ali but I just don't like any of them they don't sound like they should be rapping but at least they have messages or stories in most of their songs, but I just can't listen to them, the reason I asked is b/c so many underground hiphop fans like them I just wanted another person's opinion.
I agree witchu on this one. When peeps say Wayne is trash, that is so black and white, left and right. He's definitely not trash, the guy is a good rapper. Best rapper alive? Hell to the NO!
The reason why hiphop heads talk so much shit about him is b/c they have friends that say "wayne is the best" but they don't know much about hiphop. It pisses me off too, b/c my friends are like that, they sit there and say "Man lil wayne kills lupe fiasco" and I try to explain but they are too ignorant to understand.
then ther not hiphop head there rap heads fake phony u need new friends..... a MC can be a rapper , but a rapper can never be an MC....chitown westside
I try to tell people Lupe is on a higher level than wayne. This one dude tried to diss lupe and say he was whack, I let that nigga hear 3 tracks from enemy of the state and he is automatically ridin lupe and say he was as good as wayne, of course he won't admit that lupe was better, you kno how wayne fans are, but he at least admitted that lupe was good.
@0194D My cousin and i were just having the same discussion. I told him that are expectations this way based upon the era we grew up in. Theirs aren't so he would be the bomb to them.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
You know what?I get real tierd of underground heads hatin on Wayne and Eminem.Because that's what it is.I know that Lil wayne is not half as tight as people think but..he DOES have skills.Underground artist even say he's sick.Murs even said that Lil Wayne had all elements on his album and it was dope. Just because we listen to underground and know that there lies the sickest underated MC's, u cant deny that SOME niggas in the mainstreme have talent. Wayne is far from the best but he has talent.
sure lil wayne is a decent rhymer. DECENT. that's it! he is overrated as fuck. carter 3 was so hyped up it was like it was "led zeppelin 4" or some shit. i listened to that whole album and there was 2 good songs off the whole thing.
1.Don't Get It
2.Tie My Hands
two songs does not make a classic. he literally has a total of 4 good songs.
3.Georgia Bush
4.Forever(not the famous one but a short 2 minute song)
@aznativethug LOL listen to the following songs: Sportscenter Tha Mobb Fly In/Fly Out BM Jr Shooter Receipt I Miss My Dawgs Something You Forgot Hustler Musik No Quitter Go Getter My Generation Sky Is The Limit
most mainstream rapper cant even decide about what to talk. either they get it done by a kind of manager or by mainstream conditioning. when the cash comes people act unfree. its not about expression anymore but to reach. and if you would know who controls the mainstream music scene from every angle, there would be no question left why only shit reaches the mainstream.

Krit - American Rapstar, As Small as a Giant, The Vent, Somedayz, They got us

Not many rappers can do this (especially in mainstream). Along with Black Milk's craze production, this song is above a MASTERPIECE.

- to the point, I was checking out j cole again the other day hadnt done that for like a year - dunno why. but I saw this video "Nas talking about Drake and J cole" and I couldnt even click the link cause I was scared to hear nas talk about drake like he's good. atleast in the same video as j cole

I haven't listened to radio in almost 12 yrs cuz that's when I started to notice how bad things were getting. Just today I tried to watch MTVRAPS for the first time in years. "All white everything" are u f'n kidding me? "Lemonade" by Guccia Mane?? wtf is happening? I was so heated. I had to go in my room and bump some Little Brother and Pharoah just to wash that s**t off...
Seems to me like mainstream rap is hiphop devolved. It's like the music is produced for kids.

lil wayne is denied any and all praise by "true" hip hop heads based on the undue praise he receives from those "commercial rap fans."
he certainly isn't as good as many make him out ot be, i personally don't listen to him, but to deny him of any skills at all is just asinine.
decent rapper? sure.
above average? hardly.
one of the greatest of all time? fucking laughable.
his voice makes me throw up a little. but he does have his moments. i think we can all admit this.
joojoobomb 2 years ago 66
I am becoming a hip hop head, i guess but I like lil wayne at times, his media shit is bad(lyrically), the only reason ppl listen to it is b/c he gets on good beats and his flow is unique, but I give dude his credit, he is average and has a really good flow sometimes but there are times when he gets lyrically, like on scarface or no quitter go getter. He is average, plain average as a rapper to me.

"The other 1,998 songs are true hip hop like this, and a very few alternative."
Nah, most of his songs are too, materialistic, and sex obsessed for him to be true hiphop to me. Even as battle rapper he is that good. He has some songs that are true hiophop, but not as many as you said, probably like max 15.
I like dude, but he gets too little and too much credit at the same time.
0194D 2 years ago
Yo, are you saying Elzhi isn't what is generally referred to as real hip hop?
And honestly, subject matter and choice of topics doesn't define whether or not you 'real hiphop'. For example J DIlla, whom you'd have a damn near impossible time trying to prove that he's not 'real hip hop' and to be honest he talks shit on a LOT of his songs. Also Sean Price/Heltah Skeltah are shit talkers,but guess what as real as it gets.

Yeah you are still missing out.
And the term 'real hip hop' is subjective. Saying 'real hip hop' is kind of the same essentialist view that has resulted in all the hating and screwfacing that happens in hip hop, kid!
but my question was were saying that elzhi wasn't real hip hop?

Aiiight. Elzhi is straight grime. Probably one of the best rappers alive. My point is hip hop has become too polarized with too much hating. And as much as I don't like lil wayne, and I think he is retarded and not a particularly good rapper, he is doing his own things.
Your last two points are much more coherent than your first two. I still stand by what I said about the "I'm becoming a hip hop head" comment. I just 'real hip hop' is as vague term which is little essentialist by nature.

So you are the official on slang as well? Once again, your closemindedness is apparent.
A hiphop head, is someone who respects real music, regardless of whether it is mainstream or underground. You seem biased from the get go.
Elzhi is grimey as fuck. Get out of here with correcting people on slang and shit. Message conveyed.

The reason why hiphop heads talk so much shit about him is b/c they have friends that say "wayne is the best" but they don't know much about hiphop. It pisses me off too, b/c my friends are like that, they sit there and say "Man lil wayne kills lupe fiasco" and I try to explain but they are too ignorant to understand.

You know what?I get real tierd of underground heads hatin on Wayne and Eminem.Because that's what it is.I know that Lil wayne is not half as tight as people think but..he DOES have skills.Underground artist even say he's sick.Murs even said that Lil Wayne had all elements on his album and it was dope. Just because we listen to underground and know that there lies the sickest underated MC's, u cant deny that SOME niggas in the mainstreme have talent. Wayne is far from the best but he has talent.

sure lil wayne is a decent rhymer. DECENT. that's it! he is overrated as fuck. carter 3 was so hyped up it was like it was "led zeppelin 4" or some shit. i listened to that whole album and there was 2 good songs off the whole thing.
1.Don't Get It
2.Tie My Hands
two songs does not make a classic. he literally has a total of 4 good songs.
3.Georgia Bush
4.Forever(not the famous one but a short 2 minute song)

most mainstream rapper cant even decide about what to talk. either they get it done by a kind of manager or by mainstream conditioning. when the cash comes people act unfree. its not about expression anymore but to reach. and if you would know who controls the mainstream music scene from every angle, there would be no question left why only shit reaches the mainstream.
