As I'm anxiously awaiting the release of his latest album - "Flowers for my Father" - I want to share this great artist with anyone unfortunate enough to have not yet heard his music.

Before we go any further, note that this is rap, so if you absolutely cannot stand the genre then you might wish to hit the back button. That being said, I think if you have appreciation for good lyrics, even as a non-rap fan you might enjoy his work.





[image loading]

The Balancing Act


His first album from 2008 has 3-4 truly outstanding songs, and is overall really solid, and well worth listening to in its entirety.

Absolution

+ Show Spoiler [Video] +


[Acquired conscious competence of all of my accomplishments
And conquered constant comments that contradicted my confidence
Common compliments were called upon to con me in
Accosted consonant comments that condescended all my common sense


Nothing special, just the most awesome alliteration in all of music.

Absolution on RapGenius

Ashes to Ashley

+ Show Spoiler [Video] +


For every hole I've punched in the wall
Every piece of paper crumbled as we've suffer in the bloodiest fall
For every pulsating ego blistered into moon ripe nosebleeds
I nurse these festering wounds and drop no seeds
But grow an orchid garden
Now the pains on your portrait hardens with a face that resorts to jargon
Scribbled like a suicide note
Like I'll stop
I show the beauty by a profile shot
Freeze, don't fret for the truth
Cause I'll pray till I heard footsteps on the roof
I swear to god I don't believe in angels
Ask me, atheist, Ashley
Where's the wings in this relationship?
Passions has passed me, cast another spell
Mortified, melancholy, Madness to Michelle
Suicide Sarah, illiterate your fate, worship the absence and demonstrate my faith


Ashes to Ashley on RapGenius

November

+ Show Spoiler [Video] +


And the silence hurt, so I just followed through
On a beaten street, never reaching peaks which I saw in you
And now I see that you just took me for granted
Had a diamond in the rough and you still took me for granite
So i'd turn my back, on things I thought matter
Lamenting in the sins and the halos that had shattered
In November we gazed at sea scapes
With each wave, symbolizing things that we'd make
Love and war we were born as keepsakes
To underscore loves accord when peace breaks, In November


November on RapGenius

The Exception To Everything

+ Show Spoiler [Video] +


Beautiful and innocent, suitable and militant
Are scripted on the walls of the cubicle I'm living in
I'm different, if you take away that I'm gone
A heart on my sleeve, with a razor blade jacket on
In Babylon I would hold my breath and listen close
To the ghosts of death the ocean kept when the winter froze


[image loading]



From, The Art of Dying I have a much clearer favorite song from it, so I wont list as many (infact, I'll just list the one):

Wake Up Dead

+ Show Spoiler [Video] +

Listen to the creature with October in his eyes
As I illustrate the features just to mold them into life
I’ll hold it with my hands and I’ll sculpt it into ice
Just so I can set her free and let her soar into the sky
Follow me into the grim odyssey the villain’s in
Haunting like a diligent zombie ’til it kills again
All I see’s a colony of oddities and ill intent
Feeling bent, swallowing the qualities of innocence
In a sense, there’s a sickness in my chest
If you think that life’s a b***h you should give her some respect
Maybe she’s a xenophobe, a victim of neglect
And the impotence you have is just a symptom of the stress (yes)
All I know is that there is no certainty in life I hold
Weather in Seattle matches perfectly inside my skull
Everything is dark, everything is grey and cold
Laying out the canvas just so I can let the paint unfold


Wake up dead on RapGenius

Flowers For My Father


And last but not least, from his upcoming album Flowers for my Father, Sadistik's tribute song to Eyedea....

Michael

+ Show Spoiler [Video] +


Teeth marks on the skin
The greatest trick the devil ever played was to take away my friend
I got your face engraved into my flesh
So I can try to make amends with that day I won't forget
In Minnesota I flew in so that we could both record
Me and Kristoff Krane were supposed to go on tour
Nobody answered, we were knocking on your door
And when they carried out your body, I was staring at your shoes on the floor

Micheal on RapGenius

Probably one of my top 3 favorite artists, and I felt the need to share this as I've probably told anyone I know who cares (and a great many who dont) about his music already!

Hey Jinro! You love rap right? I've watched your stream back in the day and it's as if that's all you listen to

What do you think about Chap Hop/Gentlemen's Rap?

Check out some great music made by TLers - http://bit.ly/QXYhdb , by intrigue. http://bit.ly/RTjpOR , by ohsea.toc.

The first two songs' music is ripped straight from Emancipator. I hope the guy actually has permission to use them, otherwise... :/

Not into rap at all, but these were pretty okay.

Jinro your stream made me rediscover Dan le Sac vs Scroobius Pip, more specifically:



which is pretty different from the stuff you linked, but awesome nonetheless.

How ironic that people actually tend to bring accusations before checking the reality

Backing to topic, I definitely like this artist, although I don't listen to this music genre. Before I learned about Sadistik, I was listening to Emancipator, and then eventually read about their cooperation. It was good finding I guess

Jinro! You changed my entire music listening life a few months ago when I heard Tonedeff on your stream! I havent actually listened to Sadistik yet but I think he's touring with Tone and Cunninlynguists right now so it would probably be smart. Thanks!

Cunninlynguists are amazing, tonedeff is pretty good too.

It's all about Eyedea Jinro! Best mc yo!

Also here's Astronautalis's freestyle after Eyedea died. Astronautalis is a beast live btw.

We have multiple brackets generated in advance. Relax . (Kennigit) I just simply do not understand how it can be the time to play can be 22nd at 9:30 pm PST / midnight the 23rd at the same time. (GGzerg)

Used to listen to Eyedea (and Abilities) all the time. Kinda forgot about them, started listening again because of "Michael".
Such a sad song. I found this through the youtube page though, never heard it before!

Hah, yeah. Not accusing Sadistik of anything, I just never knew or was bothered to look up if they had indeed decided to cooperate. Admittedly, you're right to call me out on that and I'm sorry for my laziness of not fact-checking. :|

Found Sadistik some years ago through Ashes to Ashley with Mac Lethal, who's verse you put up as an example for the song.

Didn't knew "Micheal" before, such a sad powerful song.
Eyedea had the tools to become one of the greatest, sometimes though things are just not supposed to be.
More than two years already since he died...time flies.

You've got some nice taste in music, have you listened into some older Mac Lethal-Stuff? The Original 11:11 Sessions is a masterpiece.
Did you like the new Macklemore-LP?

Combining Emancipators music with rap? That's it, I'm sold. This is amazing.
