Announced quietly last week via a Twitter post, Evidence of Dilated Peoples gives us a brand new EP inspired by The Beatles. I Don't Need Love is 9 tracks deep featuring Rakaa, Alchemist, and Fashawn. The project also includes several covers, putting Evidence as the 5th Beatle. Below you will find the covers, download link, as well as "Let The Beat Flip", to give you a taste before you download.

In case you didn't know, December 2010 also marks the 40th anniversary of the Beatles break-up in 1970. The Atlantic put together a very well-done comprehensive piece about the break up, and the suggested reasons the Beatles called it quits:

"They point at Yoko Ono, John Lennon's lover, a mildly terrifying woman who many believe to have been the most divisive character in the Beatles' late years. They point at Paul McCartney, the egotistical solo-act who, at times, seemed to view the Beatles as his personal backup band. And, occasionally, they point to God, the only deity that they believe could have brought such a group together in the first place. As one might expect, much of this finger-pointing derives from a deep-seated anger based on the notion that had these forces not arisen, perhaps the band would not have parted ways. But this belief is undermined by the simple fact that the Beatles had been drifting apart musically since 1968, when they released a magnificent yet scattered collection of some of the most beautiful songs that each of the band's songwriters had ever written: The White Album."
