I'm telling y'all Elzhi versus Black Thought would make the planets crash into each other. They would shut the game down for a while, MC's would find renewed inspiration off that one.
@@MidlandKruiskade Ehhh Elzhi is an amazing storyteller and has wonderful cadences. I'm not saying who wins in this shit, because my ears would be blessed regardless. If it was for as an artist, I'd say Thought ofc as he's one of the most versatile ever for that. As Emcees though, I just have em both in my alien list chilling above the clouds

Elzhi is on my top ten greatest lyricists of all time list as a guy from Detroit. He's nastier than Royce and Em lyrically, even though Royce and Em are lyrical giants. Elzhi doesn't get enough credit. Word to Ankh.
Elzih is a master mind, I'm a hip hop head to the max, the illest I have ever heard, no dis to anyone who ever pick up a mic, he is what the culture should be.
Word, mad respect. How long have you been listening to hip hop? I remember growing up, I'd go around yard sales and look for old cheap speakers. I can't tell you how many times my neighbors have called the 5-0 on me. As for concerts, The roots 5x , Slum village x2 ( Dilla was there) , Logic, Dizzy, J Cole , The Foreign Exchange, Common x2 , Mos Def, Talib Kweli ( Kweli actually had sex with one of my friends girl, everyone found it, Kweli was in his late 20s, the girl was 17) Mayer Hawthorne x2 , Dead Prez , Hieroglyphics , RJD2 ( tripped balls ), Little Brother ( got a sweet VIP pass, got to meet him, sadly 9th wasn't there), but my first concert was Razhel vs DJ JS-1 ( Raz is a human beatbox, it was crazy, Human vs Machine .

This list has to be updated to a top 25 list coz if there's anyone here bumped his 2020 joint Seven time down eight times up or yos collab album with Khrysis then you'll definitely agree🔥🐐
Dope list... but that LaLa verse from SV Trinity album is still one of his dopest verses and one of the illest verses by anyone I ever heard. I think he was in his prime then imo...
Wtf what tapes/albums are insane,all out,to be determined,straight up,Mt.

Elzhi definitely represents the mitten well . That's what we do up here doe. Elzhi is in my top 10. 1 Black Thought 2 Big daddy kane 3 Kool G Rap 4 Rakim 5 ELZHI 6 ROYCE 5 9 7 Eminem 8 biggie 9 Nas 10 Jay Z
Los is dope bro .... Even RA the rugged Man called him a Lyrical monster ...... Los Control Remix was Ill .. Dude said " I'm coming with the K like they lacking Potassium " BARS
5:48 sounds like Em in Em's first prime, but it's not cringe-worthy..It really sounds like Em and not someone who is trying to sound like Em. Usually, I dont respect that.
Check Elz delivery Nas aint delivering like that or come close, im not goin by record sales or legendary status that us fans given to popular artist, bar for bar Nas ain't gotta chance against Elz, Elmatic go harder that Illmatic, lyrically. I love Illmatic one of my favs but Elmatic is more lyrical satisfying, my opinion
+Jay Murthy ues I know that its not about who mentored who? Kane mentored Jay-Z, that dont mean Big Daddy Kane will demolish Jay-Z in a cypher. put record sales and popularity to the side and focus on lyrics.
You know an MC is great when he can say "Perhaps my styles as ill as G Raps" and it's not over the top, not at all as it's about spot on. Not like when fucking Jay Z said "Hearing me rap is like hearing G Rap in his prime" and me cringing.
Unpopular opinion (maybe): Elzhi created one album POST VIDEO that can slaughter even this. I honestly thing the syllable sensei video walked this one too- but it's Elzhi. One of the emcees where the only one who can walk them, is themselves.
Such a unique cadence, he cracked the code...
His word play is alien like!
Preemo + Elzhi = My Money
Sam Crawford Apollo brown + elzhi = hip hop game over
@@chrisjames4507 that would be amazing a whole album produced by Apollo Brown featuring Elzhi would be amazing
One of the best with the multis, storytelling, and word play
One of the GREATEST and not known. #smh

One of my favorite spitters
minds too
I hit the like button before I even pressed play. Why? Cause Elzhi is one of the illest...
El's verse from Contra should have landed in this chart.
the last verse has to be one of my favourites ever!
He left earth on that verse smh
El's verse of "Hiding Place" little brother
yeah Hiding Place should be #1 and it's not even on here lol
I expected it to be #1
Dope joint indeed. Phonte and Elzhi..flow and bars indeed.
Stating 'Top 15 Elzhi Verses' implies that he has subpar verses. . . .Blasphemy. Top 1000 Elzhi Verses
+Antoine Rashad True this should be called "15 random Elzhi verses" lol
@@Punjabispitta Exactly
Elz is so slept on...clearly a master jedi on the mic
Elzhi one of my favorite rappers
Always said 👑ELZHI👑 very very underrated!!…one of Detroit’s best rapper,. 👑ELZHI👑rap circles around ur favorite rapper just like that!!!🏁🏁🏁🔥🔥🔥✊🏿
Great picks. I woulda thrown "Gunshowers" in there somewhere.
His verse on Gunshowers was flames
Top 10 dead or alive. But what about his second verse on "D.E.M.O.N.S."???
Man I just said "come on bro..." When I saw the top 2. Definitely tripping with that
I had a feeling KGB would be #1. Such a crazy verse.
Lyrically untouchable. Change me mind.
The second one GodddddAaaaamnnnn!!!!
All of eL's verses are nasty!!!
00:00 Deadly Medley ft. Royce 5'9"
Elzhi is the truth
Striking cats/ how u want lead, spike or bats/
I know you liking that/
Stay sharp as Viking hats
🔥🔥🔥
This list should be edited like everytime Elzhi drops a new verse.
his Verse on goatit with bishop Lamont, phat Kat, and black milk was dope
My mind is on a level more deeper than monotone
Off a line alone I shine like the finest designer stone :0:0:0:0:0:0
¿Slum Village 1,2 Elzhi's third verse? His flow was insane, really dope track
#7 when I first heard the kid, been a fan since. And heard it when JD actually dropped the album
Yea a few of these I never heard and i began floating on the rare but amazing cloud of realness. So ill. Good shit man.
Unequivocally in my top 5!! one of the best!!
This is a great list, glad I came across this!
This list has to be updated to a top 25 list coz if there's anyone here bumped his 2020 joint Seven time down eight times up or yos collab album with Khrysis then you'll definitely agree🔥🐐
"Still left wit a grand like Theft Auto!"
great choices.
One of the greatest & most underrated. A damn shame. This music should be main stream
I feel as is as concealing drills in the knee cap... what i put down on the sound coil is crown royal its like i dug in the ground soil and found oul
El is the goat… no debate… no one can spit he consistently does
What about Big L or Big Pun?
NEXT UP !!!!!!!!!
#6 was the best verse I've ever heard
Elzhi is the New Nas!
Carry arms like shoulder discus
9:17 the name of the song is fire
Dope list... but that LaLa verse from SV Trinity album is still one of his dopest verses and one of the illest verses by anyone I ever heard. I think he was in his prime then imo...
I like that save ya verse too but good list
Fam.. that verse on Deadly Medley... lawd jesus...
We need a follow up to this
Slum Village Reunion was the realeast verse that Elzhi ever spit. That verse had me sad till this day.
"Keep on"
Thank God for Binary Star. Otherwise, I would've never found out about Elzhi. 🙏🏾
