Album Review
Boston's Edan has scored the hip-hop triple crown, rapping, programming and sampling at a masters level on his second full-length. As an MC, he bows down while hyping himself up on the wink-nudge titled "Fumbling Over Words That Rhyme," giving extended shout-outs to the history of hip-hop, from Afrika Bambaataa and Grandmaster Flash through to Ultramagnetic MC's and Prince Po, all over a break as dusty and faded as an episode of Carnivale. "Polite Meeting" offers a beat and sample collage on par with the current work of DJ Shadow and RJD2, and one is left to really ponder at the possibility of Edan trying to perform the beats and vocals live. Def Jux bright star Mr. Lif makes a guest appearance on the heavily psychedelic "Making Planets," which leads into a full-on Hendrix-inspired freaky-blues interlude. Percee P and Insight also drop by to flow over some of Edan's time and space warping musical beds (to call these "beats" would be an immense oversimplification) but Dagha guests on the grittiest rocker, "Rock'N'Roll" which manages a full-on Marshall stack set to ten, and a guitar assault that somehow avoids all of the failings of rap-rock. If hip-hop had existed in the days of the Filmore, Woodstock and the Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test, Edan would have been right on the bus.
Customer Reviews
Edan takes the Hip-Hop fan to new paradigms
For those of you settled in a hip hop genre listening to the likes of Gangstarr, Main Source, Jurassic 5; Edan is takes the hip hop sound to new levels. Incorparating synths / moog sounds and a rhyming style comparison to none are just a few of Edan's qualities. This album would appeal to anyone wishing to sniff out new hip hop, and those who do will inevitably progress their musical wisdom. Beauty and the Beat will open your minds, and hopefully influence further musical purchases. Enjoy! And remember where there is Edan there is light.
This music is as mixed up as the cover, it's excellent.
If you're a true hip hop fan, you'll love this. All kinds of high quality sampling and the rap is sublime. Can't think what to aliken it to?? A smidge of J5 blended up with J Dilla style breaks. Just get it.
Arguably best Hip Hop album ever?
Brilliant, perfectly concieved, no filler, amazing live show. Unparralelled production skills and lyricism. Get it.
