      I was just heard this at work for the first time yesterday and it is amazing. He uses the record like a guitar to play a really beautiful outro melody. If you love that vibe and sound, you should check out the song abandon ship or abandon all hope by four year strong. They started a career off of their careers by literally just playing stuff like that scratching melody on guitar but in your face and with the type of energy like you’re just starting summer break in high school

    the best thing about Eyedea (apart from his magic with words) is the fact he made songs that so many people liked and yet the felt so personal. its like he wrote them words just for you and nobody else. thats why whoever listened to him felt instantly connected to him.

    Just seeing Eyedea get so into his music gives me shivers all across my body. You can really tell he cared about his music, and by his songs cared about other people His music will always reach out to people, he was one of the few rappers ever to have a heart, and he and his music are greatly missed. His music helps my life in so many ways, in my opinion he is one of the best rappers ever. RIP Eyedea, And Thank You..

    I soak up every little bit to sharpen my bones.
    All grown up still trying to find my way home.
    I never been cleaned or cloned.
    My heart's never been owned.
    I'm lonely, but everyone is lonely so at least I'm not alone.
    This road is filled with pot holes,
    But I don't need to tell you something you already know.
    We're both sinking in the same boat.
    I wanted you to stay afloat
    I did what I could,
    But you had to learn to swim on your own.
    You lost your glow in the glitter and the gold.
    I couldn't stay alive inside your choke hold.
    Hold, hold on, because I really gotta go.
    Cause I'm not falling into your hole.
    You won't spin my head around
    You won't take this one from me
    You wanna bring it to the clouds?
    You won't ever see, ever see
    You won't ever see the ground
    I soak up every little bit to harden my skin
    No matter how I stand still pulled by the wind
    Wipe the face off my grin
    And love me in the name of kill
    To keep on being good friends
    A liar's lips are their
    Best fingerprints
    You can fake it isn't there
    But I can taste it when we kiss
    Tracing paper wrists
    I tried to draw the line and I missed
    But one day I'll be able to look back at
    This and make some kind of sense of it
    I'm not another shin to kick
    One foot in the grave both hands on the gin
    It took a while to figure out
    We couldn't coexist
    But I'm not falling into your abyss
    You won't spin my head around
    You won't take this one from me
    You wanna bring it to the clouds?
    You won't ever see, ever see
    You won't ever see the ground (2x)

    @iOpacity I agree with your friend, actually. Eyedea isn't everyone's cup of tea. There are some people that get it, & some people that just don't. The people that do get it feel an instant connection with him when they hear his music.. Whether it's on cd, your iPod, or even from a video of him.. That's why I LOVE the Rhymesayers community. We're the small group of cats that get it. We have that special something in common, & that's what makes Rhymesayers so beautiful.

    Say what you want about the album but I really think the album is amazing work by both Eyedea and the majorly under-rated Abilities. I've enjoyed seeing these two evolve and grow as musicians. The first album was more philosophical and their second album was a bit more battle oriented while having some classic deep songs. This new album is them changing it up, exploring music, and creating something beautiful. I love each song. My opinion though. Think what you want.

I am (47) will be 48 Jan 2. I met Ant, Slug, Grieves, and others. But i sorely regret not getting to meet someone that I feel I could have a political, and life, conversation with. I will regret it for the rest of my life. I also lost a cousin that I loved like a brother that same year.
