A Throwback Interview with Elzhi

An old interview with Elzhi of Slum Village with some great questions asked by Todd E. Jones.

Highlights:

    T.JONES: “How did you become the new member?”
    ELZHI: “Me and the Slum go way, way back. There was a spot called The Hip-Hop Shop and it was owned by Maurice Malone. There were people like Eminem, Royce The 5’9” and Obie Trice in the spot. Slum Village was up in there along with E-Dub. Everybody that you are seeing out there now (from Detroit) was apart of that history of The Hip-Hop Shop. Actually, the dude that was hosting The Hip-Hop Shop was Proof, who is now Dirty Harry from D-12. We were the elite and we all had mutual respect for each other. Through the years, I was working on my solo project. How (*House) Shoes was working on my solo work. He put out an album on Phat Kat with a couple of songs that were bananas. Jay Dee did the beats though. How Shoes did a lot of beats for me in the past. Big Up to him! Along the way, I met up with Waajeed. He’s bananas. He produced some songs on ‘Trinity’ too. Waajeed is a childhood friend of T3 and Slum Village in general. Basically, T3 was looking for somebody to manage. Waajeed told T3 about me and told me about T3. We ended up meeting over Waajeed’s house and going to Pizza Papalis and discussing T3 managing me over a slice of pizza. Over a slice of pizza, we discussed the future outline of ‘Trinity’. Eventually, he took me on a promo tour with Phife. He saw that I was down in the long run for the Slum. He knew that I would do whatever I had to do and whatever needed to be done. Baatin & T3 just came to the conclusion that they wanted me to be in Slum Village. I was definitely down with it because I felt that they were legendary. I heard of them before I even met them. I loved joints like ‘Roxanne’, ‘Gold Shoes’, ‘Pregnant’, and ‘Ooh Wee’. It was an honor and a privilege to be apart of something so legendary.”



    T.JONES: “What is your favorite song you did with an emcee or group outside of Slum Village?”
    ELZHI: “A song I did with Royce The 5’9 a long time ago. This was when Royce’s crew was called Wall Street. Now, they are called The Elite (*D-Elite). The name of the song is called ‘The Heist’. Doc Seuss did the track and it’s one of my favorites just off of the fact that it was nothing but raw and uncut hip-hop. We were just spitting. It wasn’t for the radio or nothing and we all knew it.”



    T.JONES: “What is the meaning behind the name Slum Village?”
    ELZHI: “It’s a paradox. The words ‘Slum’ & ‘Village’ are two totally different things. It is basically bringing together different people under one roof to enjoy good music.”
