I really hope that Elzhi pulls through his addictions. Elmatic is maybe the best dedication album I have ever heard and it's one that I spin to this day. Worse yet because Baatin was a great talent and died from his demons. But I'll check his album out once I get the chance.
Yeah Nas shouldn’t have took offense to that record. I almost felt like eL broke one of the laws there. Never outshine the master.

Nas didnt take offense to Elmatic. I actually remember him praising it when asked about it. shyt he signed Fashawn and he did an Illmatic tribute tape before Elzhi did. And u cant be serious wit the bolded. Lol

Not what I heard. Nas knew about Elmatic before it even dropped, he was asked to get on a song with El by Nick Speed.

He declined.

Bar for Bar El can stand with Nas. I love Nas, Nas is infinitely more charismatic than El. I’m more of a Nas fan than a El fan. But El’s pen is fierce. If Nas could do a song with a simple simon rapper like Dave East he could have worked with El. But he knew El would have cooked him. He hungrier.

Nas took offense that record, at leas that’s what I heard. He ain’t understand it. Just like he took offense to Droog and it been quiet for Droog ever since. A lot goes on behind the scenes. But maybe I’m wrong.

But it’s a reason nikkas ain’t heard from el like that since that record. And he got discouraged from rap because of what? Too easy to see.

No. Like I said. Fashawn did an Illmatic tribute before Elzhi and Nas signed Fashawn. U goin by rumor shyt and speculation. If Nas aint wanna be on it its fine. If Nas REALLY had an issue u think Elzhi wouldve still came out wit that shyt? Especially if it was known BEFORE it dropped? Of course Nas does tracks with Dave East. Thats his artist. How the fukk would he look not doing a track with his own artist? U think El was THAT butthurt from Nas that he turned to drugs and depression? I think ur the one who’s selling Elzhi short. Anyway Elzhi is my dude but he aint fukkin wit Nas on an overall scale. He’s just done shyt with his pen ive never seen Elzhi do and we aint even bringing catalog into this.

Im not going off what nikkas tell me. Im going off of history and actions. Why would he not only celebrate Fashawn for doing the same thing. He signed him. Just to turn around and hate on Elzhi? He wasnt on Fashawns tape either. Ur the one going off of what people tell. U spewing rumor and speculation as fact.
