If Illmatic is Earth 1 and elmatic is earth 2

[Ghostdenithegawd]

I think they might have got nas and az on their version imo

 

[power_wisdom]

Dude always reminded me of Nas. I'm late, but I'm check it out.

 

[achewon87]

His version of "Memory Lane" is dope af...

May actually prefer it...

The world is yours is probably my favorite. I love what he did to that instrumental

 

[*~queenbee~*]

Elmatic is a classic mixtape in its own right, but Illmatic can never be duplicated.

 

[power_wisdom]

Yeah I like what he did with this project. At times made me forget this was a Nas cover. Nas and him should do a track together.

 

[qawshun]

Why not

 

[Stew]

Ill be that guy. Fully appreciate Elzhi's project but asterisk that will never go away cause its not his.

 

[achewon87]

He deserves some props for at least getting the beats redone...

Wouldn't be a classic if he was just rapping over "Illmatic" beats...

They're redone to sound similar tho right?

Ofc but that's kinda the point of the project tho...

Just saying there's enough original creativity imo to give it the nod...

Plus tons of the classic albums of the past have straight up used loops with less creativity or even remade straight up classic songs...

I am not saying put it in the vault but it's a classic mixtape/street album imo...

Doing a cover like illmatic won't hold up if you can't replicate the bar of lyrical expertise

Ill be that guy. Fully appreciate Elzhi's project but asterisk that will never go away cause its not his.

It's easy 2 paint the picture when all you do is trace it … that's why mf do hot freestyles over beats because it's a pattern they jus follow it from flow topic to delivery then drop they own song an it be garbage because the picture already been drawn you jus got 2 color it in

 

[englishdude]

I prefer it to illmatic.

Don't cry stans, it's only an opinion.
