elzhi spit mad fire

[mpplaya87]

Also. . .Dilla and Smokey Robinson = Match made in Heaven? I think so, seems like Dilla woulda been best friends wit the dude the way he sample his shit

[optikCB]

word. dilla is like the modern smokey robinson. both were one man army's in production/music knowledge/and just all around passion for it.

i'm sure they woulda hit it off if they met in real life

[mpplaya87]

What record is this on?!? I need to get this! On that Dilla grind right now

[christheone8773]

This record is sampling The Marvelettes 1967 hit, "My Baby Must Be A Magician"

[illwillrider]

Honestly, everyone that just commented has a valid point. Hip-Hop will always be alive as long as guys like y'all and myself can listen to the same music, enjoy it, argue and agree to disagree. My opinion today is that el, mos, andre 3 tops it off. Catch me another time and i'll probably feel different.  Like today i'm on some dilla, hi-tek, kanye beats. Tomorrow i might be on some Premo, Dre, alchemist shit. Keep hip-hop alive y'all.

Peace

[mrcheereo]

no doubt! i love the fact that there are still people like us out here. but i still get pissed everytime someone tries to tell me how sick gucci mane is or some one else as talentless as he.

[QuadCityRiverBandits]

@illwillrider tru soooo tru HIP-Hop Aint Dead

My God!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! El-fuckin-Zhi is the illest!!!! i wonder how many drafts he goes through to make every verse incredible

[mellonsed]

detroit baby dont sleep on murda city

[THEGREENSOUNDS]

What CD is the Elzhi Joint from?

[soulsamples]

what is the name of the marvelettes song?

[zxain]

My Baby must be a Magician

[keairkapri]

I keep Elzie's Preface albm spining all day . A work of art

[therealrebelxd]

This nigga bitten my dawg's Vakill's style 100%

[Eweezie415]

Never ever n Vakill is nowhere half of el or j-live, n Vakill doesnt even have flow like this lol wat do u listen to that

[Eweezie415]

But dont get me wrong Vakill is def raw dogg, he's clean... but not fuckin with El.... But its cool if u just trynna drop his name so more people can listen to him....bcuz yes more people do need to listen to him

[therealrebelxd]

Nall, that ain't it at all. I been knowing Va since late 80's and I know how he flow. It seems that he's lightened up a bit lately but check his earlier shit. I know what I'm talking about. Extreme lyrics is my specialty. El is descent but in my opinion not touching Va. I put my name behind that.

[therealrebelxd]

another thing. That Kanye West style finish kind da baffled me. Why anyone would spit sounding like Vakill would then then jump into some Kanye West sounding flow is beyond me. Not trying to hate on El or anything, it's just that his flow (hell, even his voice) is too similar to Vakill's and Va been flowing since mid 80's. I just call it how I see it. Everyone has an opinion but being a deep thinking lyricist myself should reflect that I have some sort of idea that I know what I'm talking about.

[Eweezie415]

Naaa man i gotta argue that, as eL being my favorite rapper, and me knowing Va pretty well i can honestly say they sound nothing alike, Va has a choppy flow, eL shit is smooth as butter, and eL is lyrically better than Va, like Talking In My Sleep, Scattered Pictures, S.A.R.A.H. etc... eL is just very cold, n i think he sounds nothing like Kanye West lol.... I dont noe if we r hearing the same people, but once again Kanye has a choppy flow, eL's is smoooooooooooooooootthhhhhh

[therealrebelxd]

To each is own. And what I was referring to is those ending lines when he say's "I think they'd prefer to be breathing", That is Very Kanye Westish, which is far from a compliment. Kanye West in my opinion doesn't even compute as even being close to dope. Well, let me ask you this, what would you say about my flow?

[Eweezie415]

Even Old Vakill got a choppy flow, u can hear it wen he breathes his flow is choppy but smooth kinda like Andre 3000... but at the same time nowhere close... Lol Andre, Em, and Big Pun... R the top 3 flows ever n my book

[therealrebelxd]

Andre, Em, and Pun? Hey, to each is own. I can't argue the next man's opinion. That would be like me going to China and saying you should all be Johova's witnesses lol. Though I would hardly rate them as extreme dope lyricists (well, maybe Em can be considered a high quality lyricist), you're opinion is respected non the less.

[Eweezie415]

Nowhere n that did I say they were extreme dope lyricist dogg, even though they all r. But i said they all had the best flows... My fav lyricist r, Nas,Ra,Pun, Canibus, Thought, Mighty Mos, and a lot more i just cant think about right now

[garendse1]

i just fell inlove wit hiphop all over agan!!!!!

[Lawrentz82]

Elzhi MURDERED this track. J-Dilla created a monster track and Elzhi matched it bar for bar...wow.

[ygme99]

"" the Moment you FEARED is HERE, you Know it, this Poet PIERCE a MERE Opponent and split his Dome up from EAR to EAR"".... thas that heat right there bro! Elzhi will always have it, He been had flowz fo a minute... ""dont COMPARE me to JOKES, ill strangle the AIR in ya THROAT, like you jumped from a CHAIR CHOKED in mid-AIR from a ROPE, got a big gun that CARRY a SCOPE, the FLARE and the SMOKE, you niggaz quiet like words LIBRARIANS SPOKE,

[ygme99]

"The moment you FEARED is HEAR, you know it, this poet pierce

[eladbrit]

[Asgangsta12]

[NonchalantO1ne]

This beat is rediculous simply retarded. The way he flipped that sample should be looked at and talked about as an art. Real Talk!!!!

[kingsoems]

[lykewyze]
