All of Eyedea's songs, particularly Weird Side, Step by Step, Smile, Times Flies When You Have a Gun, Burn Fetish, and Even Shadows Have Shadows. I'm kind of sad because there's no other artist quite like Eyedea, and I want more! But alas... I found some cool hip hop instrumentals online: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-C1Va5vqcPE, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cRzPux-kE6Y. Listening to some Mos Def a tad, Blue Black Jack, Mathematics, War, to name a few of the songs I've listened to. Oh, and Blackalicious, but that's nothing new, I said that last week. After I heard Eyedea's music, I feel like I want to make hip hop too, but I don't...really..know...how. Any ideas? All the instructions online discuss putting down other rappers and stuff like that, which I'm just not interested in. I want to know about rhythm and rhyming and cadence and "flow" and inflection and emphasis on syllables.
