Some random meshup of several of his songs in some kind of freestyle -- from around 2005 I think.
Edan is probably the most talented and clearly the most creative musician in the broad field of hip-hop music.
Songtext (as far as I understand it):
I be the rap beautician, to facts you listen
blast through rhythms like hash through your system
true in living wisdom, well off and witty
using gods sleeve, write the hell of the city
see my elegance
dining on the periodic table crawl for elements
the universe designs my intelligence
drop science down a bottomless pit
one swift, doing handstands on pyramid tips
the sun splits the waterfront causing prismatic effects
butterflies come alive and have sex
birds fly out of my top hat slow
to join the brilliance of wilderness and soar through the congo
speak the convo to colors and shapes
my wordchoice is turquoise I love to create
my art hurdles over the clouds in dark purple
red mixes yellow and blue in sharp circles
paint splashes over your conscious like canvas
molecules rule unseen by deep glances
trace your physical form to that of a mantis
think of all varieties of life on the planet
glaciers and avalanches, they have a dance with
gravity
the gods put their lips on the galaxy
man interrupts true love and acts savagely
juice from the fingers of zeus cause calamity
the truth won't fade with the artificial calendar
I be the balancer, the chance like answer
the dancefloor dominator, flavor complicator
accomodate the great, await the day to fantasia
the soul of a giant, I'm bold, and defiant
my science, electrify the unplugged appliance
shoot my television, walk outdoors and explore
with the innocence of kids aged four
I frolic in the sand with the colony of ants
my particles expand building oxygen in plants
from Rakim the Cash(?), to Lakim Shabazz
I'm logically advanced with the knowledge of the past
motivate a girraffe, wrote a page and a half
known for paving the path and the waves with a staff
the music is rap, my favorite color is math
the plan of attack is bless the planet with wax
the caterer, the Darth Vader with the crossfader
you should never be afraid of the harm from armed laborers
we stay patient as we lay the foundation
in a simple composition for the future generations
