Glad you liked this. I recommended this as a lighter alternative when you said R.A. was making your head hurt. I try to get everyone hooked on e-dubble. He always puts me in the best of moods. These weren't freestyles, that was just what he called the set of 53 tracks he chopped a beat for, wrote over, and released every week for a year. The very first line from the first one was "Freestyle Friday, but it's not a freestyle, took five minutes just to lay this beat out." I'm sure the majority of the lyrics he had compiled, but the songs often related to the samples he was using, and kept current in the in the lyrics. He released one called "Nyquil" then one called "DayQuil" while having the flu for two weeks. Each FF had an outro of him just saying hey, or thanks, or trying to remember to self-promote (terribly), or telling his dad happy birthday. The "overdraft fees" he got back in this one was a callback to the outro in #14 (I won't spoil it cuz it's hilarious). For music, he used anything from hip-hop you'd expect like Gang Starr, Digable Planets, Curtis Blow, or J Dilla, to more unlikely rock artists like Tom Petty (this song, I don't know if you recognized it), Tom Waits, Billy Joel, Guns 'n' Roses, The Black Keys, Beck, even Hansen (yes, the MMMBop kids) to more electronic artists like Rat-A-Tat, The Glitch Mob, to classical music like Pachebel's Canon in D (the song everyone plays before a wedding procession starts). And that's just the one's I knew- he introduced me to quite a few great bands that were new to me. Even chopped up one of his own original songs with an earlier FF beat he chopped from someone else. Obviously a huge fan of music in general, and you can hear just how much he just loved making music. Always open, introspective, honest, insightful and often hilarious. Never glossing over rough times, but always spreading positivity and actual advice. It felt like losing one of the nicest people in the world when he passed. His online following is still without a doubt the most non-asshole group of people I've ever seen.
I do believe the freestyle Friday's were written,the whole point of the 50+ songs in the freestyle Friday series was to vent They were a self therapy for him To speak his mind and such he did them for a year before ending it because it started to take a mental toll on him If you react to more of his music here's my suggestions If you're into more serious songs:Change My Mind,Cycle of Nightmares,and Drinking With My Headphones On A more uplifting song:Be a King And a party one,Let Me Oh Loved the reaction btw RIP E-Dubble
“It’s called freestyle Friday for illiteration purposes” - E-dubble
Lol. ILL-literate AF. I see you all over E-Dub's comments. Props for helping keep his spirit with us.
@@ju4408 it’s what I’m here for my man

He is a legend listen to all of his stuff every song is different and they are all just pieces of art now that he’s passed

To speak his mind and such he did them for a year before ending it because it started to take a mental toll on him
If you react to more of his music here's my suggestions
If you're into more serious songs:Change My Mind,Cycle of Nightmares,and Drinking With My Headphones On
A more uplifting song:Be a King
And a party one,Let Me Oh
Loved the reaction btw
RIP E-Dubble
E-Dubble did had a degree in politics so yeah he knows how to make a good political track.
RIP E Dubble. He was the best Freestyler out there
