Which rappers have had a classic album in all four decades of hip hop

Posted: 11 Oct 2021 11:36 PM PDT

Is there any artist that had an undisputed classic record in the 80s, 90s, 2000s and 2010s? The closest I could think of is de la soul who had:

80s - 3 Feet high and rising

90s - Stakes is high

00s - The grind date

10s - and the anonymous nobody

But it feels like a bit of a stretch, anyone else you can think of?

[DISCUSSION] Elzhi - Seven Times Down Eight Times Up (1 Year Later)

Posted: 11 Oct 2021 06:03 AM PDT

I thought it dropped on October 25th smh. Better late than never I guess.

This is a great album. I honestly don't have anything to complain about. A year later it's still on rotation.

Elzhi is a masterful lyricist and it shows here. There are so many highlights in every song, but lyrically my favorite song is JASON. It's one of those rare moments where El gets more aggressive than usual.

Waking up in cold sweats from the drama

The same time Obama sent the bomber to Osama

My momma told me that things happen for a reason

I feel God bless my soul as if he heard my aura sneezing

And that's powerful as ebonics to chained slaves

My think tank's full of piranhas that swim in aquatic brain waves

It's not a game so go tell the contestant

I dice him and sell his intestines to a delicatessen

Before my life became the most splendid

I was in the haunted house plotting on a mansion with a ghost in it

Thinking 'bout the paper like the daily news

With a story about a dead man trying to buy his newborn baby shoes

JR Swiftz crafted great beats for El. His production, while varied, is still cohesive throughout the project. Light One Write One is my favorite song production wise. The sample is smooth, and coupled with the bassline it's one of my favorite beats from last year. It's also mainstream friendly, which is evident by the almost 600K listners it gained on Spotify.

Elzhi is a veteran MC at this point. And as a big fan of all of his work, it makes me happy to see him aging gracefully. This is a great addition to an already excellent discography.

How do you feel about the album a year later?

Background

The album was initially planned to be released in March 2020, but was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Reason explained the album's delay on Instagram:

I had to get rid of every fear, anxiety, doubt, and negative mindset to make this project. Through it all I'm just proud and thankful for the opportunity to share this part of myself with y'all. Humbled and thankful to all of y'all that have been patient with me but I'm proud to say "soon" is almost here.

In an interview with Paper, Reason spoke on the album, saying:

Talk to me about New Beginnings. What are you starting new with this album, and why?
New Beginnings, to me, is getting rid of all those old fears, doubts, anxieties and anything that you have that's stopping you from doing something great. I compare it a lot to a long relationship or a job that you've been at for a long time. It's like a lot of those times you might feel like you want to leave every single day, but you just don't out of fears. Those fears can be of losing that comfortable place, having to do something else, or ultimately leaving and failing. That's what New Beginnings was for me — leaving my old life and stepping into this new life as REASON with TDE. It's almost like a celebration of getting over that fear and actually accomplishing that.

What was the creative process for this like? How long did you take to make it?
I've been working on this project for a year and a half on and off, just because I was also working on my debut album. But the creative process was mostly me and producer Kal Banx in the studio just really trying to find records that we could attack from a fan's standpoint. So anything that I wanted to do as a fan, like hearing Isaiah Rashad and J.I.D. on the same record, I did that. Rapsody, who's one of my favorite female emcees of all time and favorite artists of all time, was someone that I really wanted to get on the record. Ab Soul hasn't been out in a minute, so I got him on "Flick It Up" and "Trapped In," which that's not on the project. But me just attacking it from a fan perspective and doing a lot of things that I've always wanted to do as a fan.

I saw your tweets about Rapsody's feature. What's the story behind that verse?
It's actually kind of crazy. I wrote the first verse on "Fall" based off of my feelings about Rapsody, just about women and all of the issues that they have in trying to enter this industry, about how dope she is and how she struggled to get even to the place that she's at right now. I wrote the verse from that perspective and shared it with her, and that was just the birth of our relationship, and so that's now almost like my big sister. We just kept in contact and when I got the "I Can Make It" record, it just sounded like something that I knew that Rapsody could go crazy on, and that's actually my favorite, favorite feature on the project. No offense to anybody else that's on there, but I just feel like she just went absolutely crazy.

It's been two years since the official release of There You Have It, and three since you actually released it. How has adapting to the major label world been, and what have you had to learn to stay afloat?
Definitely patience. I think that every TDE fan will agree that patience is the one thing that you have to have to be a TDE fan. Understanding that timing is everything. It's been a weird time this year with COVID. That's definitely put a wrinkle in everything. This project was supposed to come out a while ago, but we were trying to see exactly what was going on with COVID and if we could do shows.

But ultimately, I felt like it worked out at the right time, and I feel like I've had to learn how to be patient. How to be patient, but still stay focused because a lot of times you can get distracted trying to be patient. You're trying to do other things to keep your attention that you can get distracted. But I've had to learn how to keep working and be patient and also continue to stay productive. I would say that that's the biggest thing I've taken from this transition.

I saw Vince Staples joke about the "Sauce" record. He said that you held onto it for a while.
I had this record probably at the beginning of 2019, and he joked about that because I was actually rushing him to give me the verse back. We were trying to hit a deadline. I was rushing them to give me the verse back, and then I did all of that rushing for the shit to not come out for another year and a half. Shoutout to Vince though because he stayed with us throughout that whole process. For some artists, that can be annoying. They can be kind of over it, so shout out to him for still rocking with us and allowing us to get that off.

On "Flick It Up," you rap, "Comin' up as a kid/ I was tryna be Jay/ I was tryna be Ye/ I was tryna be Wayne." When did you become REASON and the person that others would want to be?
That's a good question. I don't really have an exact moment for that. I feel like it's just, it's been an evolving process. I feel like it's still an evolving process. I think that REASON this year is much different than REASON last year. But I do feel like all of these dudes with Jay, Wayne, all of these dudes are big, huge influences for me. You can hear parts of their influences in my music. I think that all of it is just... that's what art is, and that's what admiring someone is. That you're going to see parts of people's talent and whatnot, or you're going to see parts of Michael Jordan's game in Kobe. That just comes from admiration. I feel like all of those things helped me become the REASON that I am today.

What's the story behind "Extinct?" I saw that you were excited for those verses to come.
Isaiah (Rashad) actually started that record, and he has this thing where he'll start records and not finish them, unfortunately. He told me he wanted me to put a verse on there. We were supposed to originally go back and forth, and JID is a super close friend of mine. J.I.D. actually hit me while I was in the studio making that record, and he was just on FaceTime and I played some of the record for him and he fucked with it. Instead of me sending it back to Zay first, I sent it to J.I.D. first, and J.I.D. ended up putting the crazy verse on it, and so it ended up being what it is today.

What do you want the biggest takeaway from New Beginnings for fans to be?
Just for people to just enjoy the music. Don't listen to it with your critic ears on. Not to say that I care about being criticized, I really don't. But it's more of just, I made this project as a celebration and I want people and the fans that support me and the fans that fuck with me to celebrate this and enjoy it the same way that I did. Take in their favorite records and drink to it, smoke to it, roll around, have fun to it, you know what I mean? Even sit there and have your emotional feelings about it as well. But whatever it is that you like to do with the music that you listen to, just enjoy it because this one was really done for the fans.I'm just hoping that that's what they get from it. It's not for me, it's not for, necessarily, "my legacy." This is a stepping stone into something greater, but at the same time, a celebration with them.
