Beezy knows what's up! Hahaha "WHAT THE FUCK?!" What I like so much about this album is that Elzhi comes through with crazy concepts, themes and stories to keep it interesting - so it's not just a bunch of bars for the sake of bars. A lot of people say the production is a bit "meh", and I can understand that, but I didn't find them to be trash and his lyricism stole the show. So are you guys gonna do a video on that Orlando Brown track/video? lol

This is definitely one of those albums that's recyclable and gets better the more you listen. Elzhi never disappoints with the bars and this is no exception. Has a different feel and at first I was a bit let down (because of the beats mainly) but it doesn't take long for the album to start pulling you in. I'm still praying for the day that Apollo Brown and Elzhi make an album! That would be a dream come true!

I been a fan of Elzhi since 05 or so, and every track he used to be on back then, he was rappin circles around everyone else. I have always said Elzhi is probably one of the greatest lyricist of this time for almost 15 years. Also, if you listen to his albums, you can tell he puts SO much work into his work as well.

@BronzDano 7 жыл бұрын

My take on this album is that it wasn't meant to be a banging album. I feel like it was a minimalist, somber album, where the Rhymes are the show case, complemented or rather accented by the beats. I think they match well. I don't think it was meant to be banging out the trunk, but listened to thru your headphones. I think if the beats were harder hitting it would distract from his poetry. The album is highly poetic. For me, this is one of the best hip hop albums that have come out in a long time. Elzhi is the intellectuals Kendrick Lamar...

@Punjabispitta 8 жыл бұрын

My man Beezy aha I'm glad he liked the album, he pointed out my favorite songs.. I wish they talked more about two 16's though. I'm still blown away that the album is called "Lead Poison" and these "Two 16's" are literally cursed, like they were both written down on paper until the bottom of the page ripped. Talk about relating to the concept. My favorite Elzhi track of all time!

I only got onto DEHH a few months ago and have probably watched (and rewatched) everything. This is the most excited I've seen Beezy430. Dude was a kid on every holiday rolled into one. Feels like there's a lot of growth in Feefo's reviews too. Definitely jumping on Patreon and getting whatever package comes with the chance to get my mixtape shat on by Myke Sizzle and called juvenile by Ol' man Kinge. Much love and appreciation from Tanzania, East Africa.

@th3rdshift 8 жыл бұрын

The comparisons to Nas are just so small minded. Nas is a fantastic story teller but Nas never uses the rhyming prowess that Elzhi uses to put his point across. Nas and elzhi could do 100 tracks together and id be able to tell the difference between the 2 emcees everytime Now had elzhi never done the project elmatic the similarities wouldn't really be there in my opinion. The knock about how many years in between projects is relevant but understand at the same time elzhi does not have a bad project to date. There are underwhelming songs on his projects but if you've heard his discography overall and lyricism is something you appreciate and respect than this man should be in a conversation of some of the best lyricists.

I feel he should do the same thing Ghost did with the "Brown Tape" when he re-released it as "12 Ways to Die". It was the same album but with different production. Elzhi should get more of a Pro-Era sound i guess.

Are you talking in terms of style or voice? Cuz their voices are not similar at all. His style is influenced by a very young Nas, but El's rhyme patterns and multis are closer to that of Kool G Rap.

One of the creators of hip hop is under the microscope for being a child molester and Id really like to hear what you guys have to say about this. Personally I'm totally shocked and sad that such a positive force in hip hop appears to be a massive cover up of some very dark stuff. PLEASE LOOK IN TO THIS AND SPEAK ON IT.
