Edan appreciation

[Craig]

Yeah I want to see him live badly, but living where I live and being too young to drive (15) makes it virtually impossible. I'm sure the folks don't want to drive ten hours for a hip hop show

. I've seen videos of the cutting/rapping and it's dumb fresh..Only other cat I've heard does that is J-Live, who also deserves a thread haha. I'm anxious as hell for a new release - Any word on him dropping anything soon ?

im a big fan. one the few hip hop artists i check for. "beauty and the beat" is up there with "paul's botique" and "three feet and rising" for me.

ive seen him live with dooley "o". he won't disapoint even though i think dooley "o" stole the show on the mic.

i know people on the board will have mixed feelings about edan. even if you can't get away with his voice or rhymes you have to give his production props.

my faves are "sing it shit face" and "mc's smoke crack (remix)" as well as liking "beauty and the beat" lp. infact both his lp are worthy.

Saw the video footage of that tour & two things really struck me:
1. Edan's performance (2 MC's back & forth, echobox, acoustic guitar, theremin, kazoo, etc) really kept it moving and was very interesting/engaging.
2. His fans were singing along to that "Colors" song like it was MOP's "Ante Up" or somthing! The UK audiences knew every word to every one of his songs.

P.S. Dooley had, uh, NO stage show at all in comparison.

i hope he never "makes it"

HARSH

i like it.

not as good as prim plus and not a patch on beauty, crazy raw sounding though, also sounds like his nuts hadn't dropped yet. seen him live twice, once with insight & once with dagah, the latter being the best gig i've been to in a very very very long time. saw dooley-o the same night, as much as i liked his album and enjoyed seeing him live, in retrospect his show wasn't up to much at all. yeah edan is a pretty big deal over here (british isles) mainly because hes signed to a uk label (lewis).


anyway, he da man

edan a good dood

 

[Bambouche]

someone on soulstrut dissed him
and on cue he showed up like

"hey mousey ...before you ride off into the sunset on your harley smokin a marlboro........

I must have missed this. Anyone have a link?
least i can do after downloading your entire album

Edan is one of the illest of this decade if you ask me, but where is he now?...

Beauty & The Beat was my favourite album of 2005..but it's been a while since we heard from him.

Artchitecture's all right. Got nothin on his other three releases though..

 

[Chairmaster]

Edan brings out the low-post counters.

I really liked "Run That Shit"

 

[tripledouble]

i need to listen to beauty and the beat more, but "clinical rymes" is absolutely ridiculous. id check out a live show in a second

 

[ExtraExtra]

I thought he was pretty decent then I saw him at Scribble Jam a few years ago and almost fell asleep during his set.

 

[Pundit]

straight into hip hop anals
