It's the best remake of illmatic I've ever heard.
elzhi is dope and a real chill cat...i met him in 04 and he was telling me how overwhelming the game is and how ppl were trying to put him against dilla when dilla hand selected this guy to be in slum.

I personally thought it was dope but I will NEVER listen to ElMatic on a regular basis because I own Illmatic. I don't even udnerstand why anyone would even waste their time and energy by copying an album already in existence. Elzhi is dope though.
I nominate LAMB for both.
Yeah. I don't know how you could think Elmatic isn't dope. It's the best remake of illmatic I've ever heard.

I don't even udnerstand why anyone would even waste their time and energy by copying an album already in existence. Elzhi is dope though. But the two albums aren't the same. It's not like you would be listening to one instead of the other. If you want to hear early Nas you would listen to illmatic. If you want to hear Elzhi you would listen to Elmatic. The two albums don't even give off the same vibes. One is early 90s east coast production, and one is modern production using some of the same samples as the OG.To answer your last statement,surely you realize hundreds of artists (rappers included) do covers? A lot of them have become classics. This album is doing that for 8 tracks.

A lot of them have become classics. This album is doing that for 8 tracks.Name me a dozen of artists that have done entire album covers. No-one said anything about cover SONGS. I said albums. Read my post again. Also, the songs are practically exactly the same musically, the only difference is that Will Sessions is nowhere near as good a producer as the worst beatmaker on Illmatic, so his beats just come off sounding like cheap copies. Give me an Elzhi solo album when he doesn't rely entirely on beats and themes that have been made up by someone else over ElMatic. Thats not to say its a bad album, it's just completely unnecessary. And yes, they DO give off the same vibes.
