who doesn’t rhyme in hebrew…
Edan a.k.a. the Humble Magnificent a.k.a. the Rap Beautician just performed super human rap tricks displaying his lyrical gymnastic super phat scratch shtick and modulating vocal synth style fabrics. The show went down last night (motzie Shabbat) at the Knitting Factory. I don’t even know how to go into describing what it was like being in the audience for his show. I’ll let the photos and videos do the talking…
Edan warms up the crowd (check out how he modulates his voice)
Edan is beat juggling and rapping at the same time. Beat Juggling by itself is a test of ones skill as a DJ, but rapping at the same time is unheard of! Check it out and see if you could catch the intricasy of all this…
– Edan on the theramin
– Edan with guitar and djing
– Edan and Y-Love
– Even the crowd got flowers…
As we left, I bid him “shavua tov”. he replied, “Toda” and walked off…

i was there, too many great / hilarious moments to mention, but i’ll try:
-the mysterious roll of toilet paper
-e coming out into the crowd and getting live.
-“this song’s about DRUGS”
-acoustic guitar / kazoo jam
-that really drunk kid who tried to get up on stage and promptly got shoved through the stage door by dagha
-theremin solo
-lenny kravitz LP cover getting booed
-encore: sex rap accappella
not to mention the legenday prince paul and his son(!) warming the crowd up. dooley o was cool too.

b&theB was my favorite album of ’05.
