Ok so Eyedea is one of the greatest rappers of our time

I'm gonna have to order By The Throat soon, probably in January. I'd love to have a physical copy of it for its sake, but no where local sells it.

Listening to By The Throat atm.

Favorite so far has to be E&A, he sounds so chill yet is so brutal on that album.

[DƎRDYPK]

@Blu get this album, it's Eyedea & Abilities from ages ago


beast mode & he was young as fuck here, "everybody says peace but on the low they wanna start war"

I've been listening By the throat this last week since Class praises the fuck out of him. Im diggin it, I love Burn Fetish, By The throat, and Factory. I just hope he's not as depressed in the other albums.

He's better than your average underground mc. Nothing to write home about

"Nothing to write home about." What the fuck do you 'write home about'?


...Oh hey mom. I found a new underground rap artist today. He was decent but not really worth the energy to post this message....


You're saying he's better than the average underground mc and the average underground mc is better than the above average mainstream mc... Making him top tier by default...

So, I listened to First Born and I liked it. E&A is still my favorite however.

I tried listening to By The Throat and the production just threw me off. Completely different style from the two albums I mentioned above. But, I will give it another spin and see how I feel about the album.

Judging by peoples' comments here, By The Throat is Eyedea's best album.

BTT is Eyedea's magnum opus.

[Minimii]

nutting special imo. Pseudo-intelligent gibberish about stuff that really doesnt matter at all. He took stuff everyone thinks and made it rhyme. Good job.
lol

This post is straight gawwwbage.

Obviously never listened to a song by him.

sure i have. This guy is pretty boring. It's like, what does he have to say? He's creative but he wasted that talent making music like this.
just saying.

Aren't you going through an emotional break up? By The Throat is the perfect song for you...

Also, The Many Faces Of Oliver Hart is amazing too

Also, good look up his scribble jam and blaze battles. They make his few bragging tracks that much better because he actually backs up everything he says.

BTT is the perfect song for anyone with a fucking heart

Just an old article on Eyedea, good read, but has this hilarious part documenting a battle between Eyedea and Slug.

Last year in Chicago, Slug labeled his protégé a virgin, and Eyedea countered that he had lost his cherry to Slug's baby's mama. Slug responded by rapping that Eyedea must have freaked his own mother because Slug was, in fact, Eyedea's father. Eyedea quipped that it must be tough to have a son who raps better than he does. In truth, each MC has schooled the other.

Smile's chorus is haunting. Damn.

What exactly was he going through while making this album?

[classthe_king]

@Blu, Idk tbh. A lot of shit though

This just made me love both of them so much more

By The Throat (the song) is absolutely crazy. My god, I'm gonna keep replaying this until I get a clear meaning.

The beat just makes the song 10x crazier. What in the world am I listening to? I'm speechless.

[classthe_king]

I could write an essay on that song. I've analyzed every single word of it.
