ELZHI: The Lyricist They Don't Talk About.......But Why???!!!!!!

[MasterThought]

 

[Guvnor]

Talented rapper but has not made "that" album yet. He didn't drop a classic but maybe he will.

 

[Kliq_Souf]

I latched on in 08 because the Preface had a internet buzz.
He stayed underground and never really got a mainstream look, and in the mixtape/blog era he didn’t drop enough music to really grasp a fan base.
You can be the coldest nicca in the world, but you have to feed the people.

Has never made a vey good album. No need to look further for an answer here

 

[Cadillac]

Dope lyrically

But has no feature or quality that hooks you into his music and art.

The Preface was a very good album. Elmatic, Lead Poison and Seven Times Down Eight Times Up were behind the preface but were all good. He definitely doesn't have a classic though.

 

[Chip Skylark]

We talk about him but he hasn’t done anything solo wise worth recognition he’s released some good material though

 

[NoHalfWay]

He’s one of the greatest lyricists ever.

But he’s never expanded or experimented with his sound. Sonically his music is real safe, he stays in his lane

All the greats kinda expanded their sound

This is just false lmao. He has a bunch of very good albums, I just don’t think he has something that REALLY pops. He’s very consistent but doesn’t have THE album.

 

[chunky_mcdaniels]

Because he wasn't signed to Interscope and backed by Aftermath.

 

[Regular_P]

Elmatic's classic in my book.

 

[NoHalfWay]

Elmatic's classic in my book.

You can’t really call a rendition of a classic album a classic album lol

That just cheapens the whole meaning

This is fair but I felt like he made it his own. On top of that, he had the audacity to touch that album and did it justice. Who else could have done that?

To me his albums are all just good. They're just kind of there, nothing very memorable. I need something more to call an album very good

Doesn’t have a killers mentality musically. If he were still part of a group would be better. He has not had the best output unlike Skyzoo for instance. He should be dropping at least as frequently as Black Thought currently is. Only 2 projects in past 3 years unacceptable. No singles, no EP’s. kinda odd.
