Elzhi is mos def in my top 5-10 EVER in terms of TECHNICALLY super duper dope emcees...Others include 96-02 Em, Big L, Pun, G Rap, Nas, Black Thought, Masta Ace, Pharoahe Monch, Tonedeff, Juice (chi), Percee-P, Louis Logic, Diabolic, Crooked I (although dude needs an LP like yesterday...rest of SH @ their best is dope also), Andre 3000/Redman/Bis/Cube/Rakim @ their best to name a FEW
detroit has so much dope music i wish they could get more media j dilla black milk one be lo binary star the sickest white boy comes from there and mayer hawtorne

@xXxArticulatexXx YouTube: SLUM VILLAGE FREESTYLE - ART OF PATTERNS vs. ART OF STYLIN, thats where Elzhi says it. Shadowbox is a some sort of pattern used in sewing I think so I'm not sure how the pattern relates to music, not sure about tight writers.
When my grandma died in Turkey I couldn't relate. Cuz she was the only elder I knew just a little. Me being a child of immigrants in Germany I rarely saw her. Everybody was crying that summer when she passed. I couldn't cry. So I went into my bedroom and put on Killah Priest's B.I.B.L.E to find comfort.
I believe this song is about music always being there to comfort you and help you out when times is hard.
Could be the closest we will ever get to golden-era-style in late 90's. Elzhi is maybe the best MC doin' it right now, with Black Thought, Blu, Tip, Mos/Com/Kweli and Fatlip.
@YoungJordanAI3 Jay Elect doesnt need any fucking love none at allll... He's gotten way too much love and he's got a big ass head and a big ass ego which is why he makes people wait on his music for soo long.. I've given all the love i had for Jay Elect up after he lied about Dear Moleskin.
None sicker than apathy, realer than immortal tech. Sean price puts the words together and joell ortiz makes magic. J Cole is up and coming, and little Vic is crazy right now. But not quite as well rounded as Mr J Medeiros....
@MickdaKwick if Eyedea is the best rapper that you currently know then i don't really know the rappers you know i guess and i dont think i want to... by far P.O.S is the best on that damn label.. unless you account Doom as one of them. Bt any Blu, One Be Lo, Elzhi, Fashawn, and Skyzoo r the best rappers i know of right now,... and Jay Elect if he'd put out any music
This dude has the potential to be the next Nas(I had previously gave Lupe that honor). When I hear EL, I hear the ghost of Big L, and the same potential and talent as Nas at his best and most focused(Illmatic, I Was Written, Stillmatic, and Untitled)
second that real talk. if he got picked up by a big label hed be out. the only thing i worry bout is if he would lose control over his artistic vision. big problem, check kanye.
YEAH IT HELPS YOU WITH THE ''LOST ONES'' MUSIC IS A BIG PART OF IT!! MARK8! 1.

why do dudes always have to touch on this 'this is real hip hop, if you don't like this you don't know hip hop'
We know this is hip-hop and lyricism at a realistic potent high level
I never see older heads on soul, jazz, funk, rock records talking about this being 'real soul or real jazz'
Just appreciate this great hip hop rite here.
One love
