Illmatic or Elmatic ?

[Not Crodie]

The only reason why I like Elmatic more is because it has a more modern sound to it while retaining that old-school 1994 feel. Other than that they’re both lyricists, so they’re tied on every other aspect. Remember, this is all opinion, and that’s all they’ll ever be.
“Elzhi in your area, ‘bout to back-slap and bury 'ya."
"Nasty Nas in your area, 'bout to cause mass hysteria.”

It's the same flows with Detroit references instead of Queens, and weaker production based off beats that were already perfect. Why Elzhi gets so much props for Elmatic is crazy to me.
