Elzhi - Halftime

[massshysteria]

wow. elzhi has a vevo already??

[njmetrostars]

Now if only he does a song or two with AZ, then my life would be complete

[fallen5253]

in all honesty hip hop like this makes me happy

[ImScreamms]

This dude reall brought hip hop back, Illmatic is a classic and the way he made it from a Detroit point of view is awesome

[jnguyen0749]

They added too much distractions with the vocal samples. Probably the only gripe I have off the elmatic mixtape.

[ClifffSVK]

who gives a fuck about billion views of chris brown ?! gimme billion dollaz or gtfo

[joeDIRTxD]

was that mr porter in the back at 1:32 ?

[OperaticDary]

[MoodMuzikFilez]

@slimshadyeminemmathe why there mostly d12 members on that list... the only ones that had talent where Proof and Mr. Porter who is one of the best hip-hop producers... you should def start listening to J Dilla who's the greatest producer/rapper all-time specially with the beats... Danny Brown, Black Milk, Slum Village, Phat Kat, Invincible, Guilty Simpson, Marv Won, & FInale... them dudes is nasty.. they keeping real hiphop in detroit alive

[slimshadyeminemmathe]

8 People need to go to Detroit for a beating

[7xMassive]

8 People need to get back to the likes of 1D, JLS & Bieber.

[notseriousish]

i hope this guy don't start thinkin he's God's soncoz that's the shit that made me hate nas

[jreezy18]

Elzhi is such a beast.

[CrazySk8erboii]

I accidently clicked this going to an eminem video, so glad I did.

[nem3467gt]

this man mastered rhymes, hes toooo fucking nice!!!!

[bmthfool1]

its not original its all NAS beats of illmatic. he has dope ass lyrics but its just dumb to try to go over his beats and get any money from it thats some bullshit.

[coolnesss16]

@bmthfool1 It's a tribute.

[IxCLuTcHxI]

@bmthfool1 He released it for free. 150,000+ free downloads he doesn't care about the money

[hammerman2006]

@bmthfool1 It's called paying homage fool.

[DreMurf313]

WOW!! Its been a while since I heard REAL HIP HOP!!!

[TheLittleProRapper]

How come all his songs are to the beat of NaS' and have the same name? Still a beast though

[sambkpr]

@TheLittleProRapper He did a tribute album called ellmatic and most of his songs on his channel are off of that album. All the beats are redone by will sessions but the names are the same

[TheLittleProRapper]

@sambkpr Ahright, thanks dude

[1SHOTstudiosOfficial]

you look like Jay-Z but a little bit sicker

[Rolexusn]

Dude. Spit. Bars. Never heard of him before and if you only listen to the radio, you never will. I'm impressed.

[VoodooMastaBlazeVEVO]

[BeldeaBeats]

1:58 is that Kon Artis?

[ashley42dl]

My favorite modern rappers are Elzhi, Moe P, and Curren$y.

[TheRemixboy1]

[demass216]

elzhi Mah man feels good to see his shit on Vevo

[ZOOCSITY]

[FlappableUser]

I can dig it. Makes me want to pop in some NaS now.

It's good to hear from Elzhi and see he's still doing his thing ... I haven't really listened to him since he was featured on the Minstrel Show. I'm gonna have to pick this album up

[wesleyjor129]

Detroit Hustles Harder

[sikwitit72491]

This is dope

[parschkal]

[tonyromo4cowboys]

this album is soo dope !, but iLLmatic > ElMatic

[jrich11943]

@tonyromo4cowboys True... But Illmatic > 99.9% of all albums of any genre

[daveynewton]

this is niiice, he aint no nas though, and as soon as he uses the beat he opens himself to comparison

[dieselshug]

omg i got to cop this shit

[avetik32]

5 ppl must have missed the thumbs up button.

[Annatar3469]

I respect him for bringing hip-hop back

[rijsberman]

@Annatar3469 Already done by nas

[Annatar3469]

@rijsberman absolutely true. ;^)

[ThePrhymeElement]

[kimtdoan]

[snapback5245]

Elzhi Much similar to nas..

[fordnj01]

Real Shit right here. This is rap

[wqnd]

this song gained 15k in2 days <3

[CENTRALSPARTANS13]

he is way to underrated! this is the first time ive heard him and im stunned! get some of his songs on the radio so he can become big!!!!

[1979coulson]

hip hop at its best and in its original form..........sick lyrics and a sick beat none of this money and bitches shit

[ThatKidSal]

@1979coulson Actualy he does talk about bitches..

but i mean who doesnt like bitches.

lol

[urbanadvocateuk]

@1979coulson 'Original form' ..how is a tribute to Nas (the greatest of all time) doing anything original?

[1979coulson]

@urbanadvocateuk when i say original form i mean real hip hop something you can actualy listen to that dont involve all the usual bullshit that most people there days are putting out. its hip hop with a meaning and a story something you can follow instead of just bragging about how much bling etc etc you have

[1979coulson]

@urbanadvocateuk haha yeah but not quite in the same sense as alot of other so called rappers do

[njgmovies07]

One of the few new real rappers that have a VEVO page.. respect!

[NewEraKidd0323]

@njgmovies07 Lol El dropped in 98

[mierdaalamar]

like old instrumental

[EhHiddenPower]

Word no wonder he look familiar ya he was from slum village

[NBALegendary]

Fools should admit that this is pretty dope, and that modern day hip hop should pay more tribute to the classics instead of promoting whack material...

[rezanali]

yoo elzhi is a talented dude

[Bombthewoorld]

Co to kurwa ma być ?????? czemu podrabia NASA ?

[TheTertullian]

Mr Porter!!

[knockknocktwin]

I'm sorry but you can't replace a genius...Nas all day y'all. But if man's got a tight flow why flow on a nas track and call your song "Halftime." My man even tryin' to look like Nas. This is soooooo unoriginal

[Leezo2k10]

@knockknocktwin You clearly know nothin about the concept or Elzhi in general

[OMGxITZxPACMAN]

If the dudes name is @Trolls4Ever why would you take anything he says seriuosly??? lol

[TheMorbidMorris]

DETROIT!

[TheMorbidMorris]

this is the best song ive heard in quite awhile

[Kamehamayhem]

At least he doesn't straight up bite the beat from Nas' "Halftime".

[makingupforteenage]

No Vevo i dont want to listen to another LiL wayne song fuck off

[Trolls4Ever]

This should be left alone ....hes good but hes no NAS ! and any one says he is better ...just die

[smashbrosfiend]

@Trolls4Ever

Really? Anyone with an opinion different than yours should die? Dramatic, don't you think/

[aDeletedTaco]

@Trolls4Ever He's not trying to be better than Nas. You're so ignorant. It's a tribute album, did you not see the first 3 seconds of the video?

[Mcnair52]

@Trolls4Ever This tribute album wasn't only about el. Will Sessions also fucking murdered the instrumentals.

[JayDeeAZ12]

@Trolls4Ever someone is living in denial..

[darKness2kxx]

how the fuck did I only just find him??? He's sick.

[LHSPIMP85]

I WANT THAT HOODIE WHERE CAN I FIND ONE ?

[Nemanjaano]

heee maaaaaadd

[mcmega9]

this nigga is spitting raw as fuck on this shit,damn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[candydude43]

Its jus real hip hop

[Esteban541]

This guy will sessions doing illmatic instrumentals is awesome. That seems so fun to play, and now i get some sweet instrumental throwbacks to rhyme over. who doesn't like music live more than from a computer, Tupac knew what was up

[ChiggaNad]

anyone can sound good spittin NaS shit

[mcmega9]

@ChiggaNad not every can spitt like elzhi look up his original shit this cat rips

[facestyle1000]

Look up (SPEED RACEN),

[27Wolfdomination91]

he still killed the remix

[Trolls4Ever]

he should really stop doing nas remix's

[ThisIsVice]

@Trolls4Ever He just made a tribute to Illmatic to remind the people of the original.

I read an interview and he said it was for his enjoy and to make illmatic more famous.

Elzhi doesnt need a come up by covering songs, he was in the biz before in the group slum village

[Trolls4Ever]

Nas...

[Toddd107]

elzhi bringing back that illmatic flo.. this shit ill as fuck!

[MrTinyJy]

Good music!

[CCareTTaker]

Damn, dude riding Nas dick hard but Its all good doeh <3 rather bang that shit 24/7 than one fake rappers talkn guns,swag, and shit

[kutiema100]

@CCareTTaker so true but his still so illl at it, you should check out raw thug and roxx these underground rappers are so real and got thier own unique style

[tcelestino]

I like it. This version nice, but Nas is the King!!!

[sa1nd1]

Hell naw he ain't nothing like big l,you must be tone def nakka,real talk

[JayDeeAZ12]

@sa1nd1 Big L never even reached his prime... he was good when he came out but he still had a lot to improve on... he died before he reached his full potential... he only had 2 albums too get off his dick...

[klofto212]

Now THAT's rap shit!

[Phl3xable]

He kinda reminds me of Big L, he's good

[tomazm9]

Liking a video before it even starts coz u know its gunna BLOW UP!!

[dtb1331]

SLUM VILLIAGE

[Psychedelia1969]

Damn only 4500 views? this is good shit

[31mnm7]

he sounds a lil too much like nas but fuck it still better then lil wayne

[VIPlaya123]

@PhilIvey101 thats a horrible punchline

[starfoxmack10]

Elzhi Slum Village... Rest in Beats J Dilla

[relier]

Dam elzhi is too sick almost a s sick as nas was!

[superdanu]

funky!!!

[wazzer1812]

raps got his swagger back

[e3runn]

übeeel ;D

[ronnizamov96]

finally elzhi is on vevo!!! and all from elmatic. really proud to be a fan!

[PerpetuallyHighPoet]

I think he's pretty fuckin' good

[olsontanner1]

You kids realize he did this as a tribute to Illmatic, right? If you would listen to the whole Elmatic album, you would understand this. I believe the Jay-Z quote "Do you listen to music or do you just skim through it?" is applicable here.

[NastyNasNahMean]

as a nas fan you know i support this guy

[amanjbball4lyfe]

wow nas beats in every song lol

[JayDeeAZ12]

@amanjbball4lyfe Cause its a Nas tribute....

[IronCook1]

I think he should just ocme up with original material instead of riding Nas' nuts

[dadaluma13]

@IronCook1

it's called a tribute album you dumb fuck

[IronCook1]

@dadaluma13 Way to over react. I bet you have a happy marriage and a successful career

[DKATmusic]

@IronCook1 he has volumes of completely original music... this is ONE out of the many projects he's done/been apart of...

[aDeletedTaco]

@IronCook1

Elzhi - The Out Of Focus EP (1998)

Elzhi - The Preface (2008)

Oh, and did I mention he was part of Slum Village?...

He has plenty of original material, don't judge him if you don't know your shit.

[originalnick22]

@aDeletedTaco This chit just needed to be said. I love how he looking and sounding like a cold ass newcomer though. Lol. Shouts to the hip hop heads in the know :)

(((All Love)))

[djOUNCE505]

@2188ful.. you got it right. all these so called hip hop heads need to do some research. and for all you fools makin stupid comments, go listen to his whole CD - elMatic, and see how he gives mad love to NAS. the Prince even gives him mad respect on the CD!! this cat been around for a minute, wake up people!!!

[2100Film]

not bad, not feelin the synths though. dope raps though.

[MIGUELCLC1]

hell ya been waiting for this

[2188ful]

Hello!! This dude been around!! He's from the group Slum Village!!! Go look up "Selfish" by Slum Village, so ya'll can be like Ooooooooo!!!
