Its art, not product. The release only last 34 minutes (though the Japanese and Deluxe releases do add a bit of extra time). Finding that in 2005 is like the ol’ needle in the haystack, “Beauty & The Beat” is that needle.Edan is an emcee/producer/DJ (all in the truest sense), representing the Boston scene after relocating from DC.

But when the end of the year came, Edan was scarce to … such a unique atmosphere and there's so many quotable linesabsolutely perfect length. The days of hissy pause tapes have been replaced with mp3’s and burned CD’s. Votes are used to help determine the most interesting content on RYM. From the 60's to the 80's from jazz to psychadelic rock, Edan leaves no terrain untouched. It peaked at number 40 on the UK Independent Albums Chart, … Whether you like it or not, hip-hop is a manufactured, packaged, marketed product. There are also a few features present and they all sound great. Imagine a near masterpiece.When I saw the 60's style, cut and paste cover of this album I instantly knew I would like it. Twenty-seven years later, the now 46-year-old MC has managed to craft a body of work with the right ingredients to age into a personal classic.

“Beauty and the Beast” is the live action re-telling of the animated Walt Disney classic. Beauty and the Beast: From Screen to Stage to Screen Again (Know the Score) ... Review Revisit: Beauty and the Beast: The Enchanted Christmas (VEDS 2014, Day One) - Duration: 10:58. The meshing of 60's psychedelic rock, surreal lyrics, and old-school hip-hop is incredible. Beauty and The Beat is obviously the most well-known album in Edan's discography, and for good reason!

It might be a short trip, but it's a fun one without weird side effects.

While some may dub it corny, I can’t help but smile at lines like “with a suit made of electricity/I ran through the Great Wall of China convincingly/that was after the world tour/that was after the world tour/when I traveled through gravel to battle matter at the Earth’s core” and “my powers settled the clash between races/and put good people on the magazine faces/substituted television scandals with elephants and pandas.”This album is everything that music should be, and isn’t. Just check out the incredible Lif-assisted “Making Planets” lead into “Time Out” and then to “Rock and Roll.” Beyond that, there is no shortage of awe-inspiring songs. “Beauty” is just that and “Funky Voltron” and “Murder Mystery” are as rich as they come. It features guest appearances from Insight, Percee P, Mr. Lif, and Dagha. Edan actually sum it all up perfectly with “cool rap music ain’t made under pressure/expose a jewel, teach school at my leisure/fumble over words that rhyme with a verse divine/back track and think of the greatest of all times/class is in session, master conception/teacher was a student, study like a Buddhist/reviewing all the best to do it so lets do this” “Promised Land” is just as definitive of the album as it is sheer innocent imagination at work. Whilst "Primitive Plus" began and essentially ended its journey there, "Beauty and the Beat" ventures further still where few Hip Hop artists have dared to go; 1960's and 70's Psychedelia. Every time I get discouraged by another pointless beef and another wack rapper going platinum, I can put on this album and remember why I fell in love with her in the first place.


BATB is a very groovy and ambitious hip-hop record that isn't afraid to bring in elements of different genres to compliment each other. Thanks to Brandon Croker for giving me a copy of the film so that this review was possible. Debate all you want about the positives and negatives of the industry chocking out the culture, but one thing that cannot be disputed is that hip-hop has completely lost its innocence. I don’t if I’ve ever heard a regular LP blend together so perfectly. There is an essence about this album, a purity, an innocence; one that I didn’t think could be captured in today’s poisoned landscape.While all three trades are obvious throughout the LP, perhaps the most notable is his DJ skills shining. He is best known for making music that sounds like it should have released 20 years ago, such as his debut “Primitive Plus.” “Beauty & The Beat” doesn’t sound so much like it should have been released 20 years ago, it sounds like it was actually made 20 years ago. Hip-hop has gone from counter culture to trend-setting pop culture. This record is definition of FUNKY (all caps), the only downside is it's length, or more, the lack there off. Edan and fellow jack of all trades Insight display their deft retro stylings on the back and forth “Science of the Two” and the rhyme inspector Percee P joins in on setting the mic afire on “Torture Chamber.”The icing on the cake comes with two tracks; “Fumbling Over Words That Rhyme” and “Promised Land.” The former has Edan paying incredible homage to the originators over some CLASSIC drums. “Beauty and the Beat” is a rare, valuable record that channels two markedly different types of music into a new one, a collage of sounds that hasn’t been heard in a very long time. The project packs in fitting tributes to Kiing Shooter, Nipsey Hussle, and Kobe Bryant.
