Haven't listened to him in a while...but man the beat on By The Throat and and the line "You can lead a horse to fresh water but you can't teach him how to be okay when you try to leave" is still stuck in my head.

What are these Oliver Hart albums though? Never heard of them.

I told you about 5 times to download The Many Faces Of Oliver Hart. C'mon son.

You're unable to appreciate anything besides punchlines and battle rap. You wouldn't like nor understand Eyedea.

Lol.. Smh son. Stop feeling so superior to everyone and be nicer.

He was speaking the truth. Even I would have said the same thing.

And at guys who say it's hard to get in to his Music. I know it's subjective to taste and preferences, but at least listen to him from the point of view of liking him. If you've decided in your mind that apart from the cluster of Rappers that you listen too no one else is dope, then you'll never love the Art Of Eyedea. I had a hard time digesting what BTT had to offer. I was pissed, but few listens with a positive attitude forced me go for his work. His style is 3 feet above of most of the rappers out there, so there might be problems.

His verse on Is It Right? is so powerful, I could listen to it over and over again

I'm not really dead this caskets for show
I'm not really alive I only cry to bring you into my hole
And now I hold you tightly in the name of fucked up
'Till you bite away the staples that connected us
My ribs break every time I get hug
One billion stars in the sky and I only want to taste one
Your my Jupiter, I'm your junkie
I know your pretty, I can see it in my ugly
Now I'll put my face down, you can stand on my back
If I drown please know that, I'm happy to see you get where you had to get

But By The Throat, Burn Fetish, Even Shadows Have Shadows are his most well liked songs, not necessarily his best three though, those would change depending on who you asked.

ouch... thanks though

i like emotional budden, nas, one be lo and etc though

It's different kinds of emotion...I guess I shouldn't have said that though. If you were to get into him these would be the songs you would do it through because more braggadocio type songs

Such a dope verse.

[classthe_king]

Yeah that was the line that stood out to me as well

[Block]

I think you're pretty.. Pretty sure
you will profit, you will get hurt..
i eat my words, they taste like dirt..
I'm only ashamed because I know what it's worth

Find my comfort inside blame
shove my pride back down my face
my worst habit's waking up at least once a day
balance barefoot on a needle, heaven's just a jump away..



That entire segment is fucking amazing. Especially the last half, and the last line is my favorite line in any song.

[Solace]

Never even listened to this verse before you brought it up.

[classthe_king]

Yeah I think the second verse of Burn Fetish is his best stand alone verse.

[Solace]

I've hopped onto the signature wagon

I'm a big shot

[classthe_king]

Should I hop onto the wagon?

[Solace]

You would look too rebellious if you didn't

[classthe_king]

Well I am against rebelling
