XXL and Elzhi.com present Elmatic the mixtape. He pays homage to Nas and his classic Illmatic.
I have all the respect in the world for someone with enough balls to remake a classic and actually do a great job in the process. The Detroit lyricist put his twist on the songs and the subtle adjustments to the instruments ( the live sound and sample break downs) really bring this project to life. In my opinion lyrically there are none who can even come close to this guy.
So from start to finish listening to this remake i was doing this......
