Elzhi – Hard Knock TV Interview (Part 1)
Hoping the future interviews showcase his thoughts on the current state of Slum Village.
In part 1, Elzhi talks about how Ice Cube was the first rapper to make him want to rap and his early solo albums America’s Most Wanted, Kill At Will and Death Certificate are some of Elzhi’s favorite albums. Elzhi talks about being a student of the game studying Mc’s like Rakim growing up and states that the first MC that he broke down and analyzed was Lord Finesse. As the interview progresses Elzhi shares memories from the first day he visited Detroit’s legendary Hip Hop shop. He says when he walked in Obie Trice was on the mic, Mobb Deep was playing, the atmosphere felt like it was the essence of Hip Hop and he knew at that moment that he was exactly where he had to be. The Hip Hop Shop was were he became friends with Proof (RIP) who was the host of Hip Hop shop at the time and recognized young Elzhi’s talents. Elzhi recalls one day Proof called him on three way with Eminem on other line and had Slim Shady spit a rhyme for him, that was the first time he met Em and found out he was white. Elzhi says that he used to kick it with Em but that they haven’t worked on track together and that he hasn’t talked to Em in a few years. Elzhi remembers telling Eminem a while back that he should work with Royce da 5’9″ but that Em at the time thought that their styles were too similar. Royce and Em went on to work together later and Em has since signed Slaughterhouse to his label Shady Records. Nick recalls that last time he interviewed them Royce, Joe Budden and Crooked I said that Elzhi was the most slept-ed on MC. Part 1 of the interview ends with Elzhi sharing his reaction to that.

Big Sean #6: Hottest MC In The Game

Music News
Big Sean lands above his boss Kanye West at the six spot on MTV‘s list. Yea I don’t understand it either.
When the members of MTV’s Hip-Hop Brain Trust sat down to discuss the year’s rankings, the Detroit rapper initially had the #8 spot. But no one could’ve predicted how much he would progress on the list. Indeed, the same could be said for Sean’s influence and impact on hip-hop over the past year.

Music News
I know this going to start a big debate but Kanye West lands on Mtv’s Hottest MC In The Game list.
Kanye West has proven time and time again that as a soloist, he can single-handedly shift rap’s sonic focus, but over the past year Yeezy made sure that there wasn’t anybody messin’ with his clique. So even during a period when he put out G.O.O.D. Music’s Cruel Summercompilation, ‘Ye was enough of a force to land him at #7 on the ”Hottest MCs in the Game VIII,” MTV’s hip-hop power ranking.
A$AP Rocky: #8 Hottest MC In The Game

Music News
A$AP Rocky lands as the eighth seed on MTV’s MC roundtable. I not mad at this one but this shit is about to get ugly.
From the Rick Owens leathers to the Balenciaga finery, there’s no denying A$AP Rocky is a certified fashion killa (you can check his influence in other rapper’s closets). But the Harlem upstart spits more than designer labels from that gold-plated mouth. He followed his lean-drenched mixtape, Live.Love.A$AP, with a chart-topping debut that shows off his versatility and a penchant for crossing state lines when it comes to flow.

Fresh Prince Theme Locks Down School
A Pennsylvania school temporarily locked down last week….reports say that when a student’s Fresh Prince of Bel-Air ringtone went off, a school staff took it as a threat and called 911 when she mistook the lyric “shooting some b-ball” for “shooting some people”. SMH…that lady needs to clear out her ears and watch a little TV. Everybody knows that song.
