Eyedea is the only rapper I've heard who can spit incredibly fast while still retaining an articulate and powerful voice. His rhymes are thought provoking, somewhat philosophical, and always raw as anything. Dude is nasty. Abilities, his DJ, is also an insane turntablist who's techniques work perfectly with Eyedea's fierce rapping. ILL.
