Anyone who says his cadence and enunciation on 'NOW' is rivaled by anyone apart from maybe Carnage in regards to pure incendiary speed, needs to slow it down, that first verse is all one breath, studio or otherwise I've seen him knock it out live and it's blistering rapidity, RIP Michael. On his site there is a place to post your fave Eyedea lyrics for a picnic table, they are unveiling in October, you should all contribute if you appreciated a true artist/battle champ/freestyle legend.
i dont think the drugs destrtoyed him but they probably altered his perception of the world so he no longer wanted to ryhme with an ego or ryhme like he was always battling but cigs did fuck his breath control up i think
THE ONLY REAL TRUTH IN THIS WORLD, IS THE NATURAL REALIZATION WITHIN THAT DOESNT NEED EXPLAINATION TO BE UNDERSTOOD. IT IS JUST FELT ..WHICH IS WHY IM SPEECHLESS...EYEDEA IS THE TRUTH R.I.P
LOVE! eyedea is a underground legend. hip hop is alive!!!!!!!!!!! r.i.p mikey yo @gnredbull hahaha funny thing HYPE GUY is slug from atmosphere hahahahahahahahahahahahaha
nah no doubt these cats since i saw eye-d"s bak in 2000 blaze battle wen i was living in phx i knew i saw something dope....big up cabron u get props all day everyday in my book!!!!
This shit seeped into my subconcious I haven't heard this song in like ten years and the other day riding with my girl; she said something smart and I was like,"I'm not tripping off you, I got your whole crew in love and she went off and I couldn't remember where the thought came from until now...
people nowadays that hate on eyedeas new shit need to realize where he came from and what hes done for hip hop, 19 years old FUCKING DEMOLISHING EVERYONE!!! whos better than that? almost noone
It says part 2 during the intro, but has anyone ever seen part 1? I know I haven't and I have pretty much own or seen all of Eyedea's performances that I could find.
His "back up" is slug from atmosphere... the guy that put him on. Besides, it sounds bad when you have a tiny mic trying to pick up thousands of frequencies at the same time.
Hey man, Eyedea has ALWAYS been better than eminem. Fuck, a drunk four-year-old mute is better than eminem. And Eye gave up hip hop for a while, apparently hes now some rocker. And he was 19 when RSE picked him up back in early 2000s so he's still young
hell yeah it is i always liked atmosphere rse and i bought this albulm about 2 years ago and listend to it and i was like I KNOW THIS SONG AND i knew the words. yay for ps2
ya civic dont talk unless you know, call this shit emo all you want, but at the end of the day you know that "eyedea he's the ish, cuz rappers on the microphone they don't know how to spit" eyedea is rediculously talented and when he brings that aggression you know it's real it sucks that a talent like that isn't recognized by most of these sheep, keep spittin eyedea it gives me a boner, and boners make me happy
ur a fukin idiot, if u know the slightest thing about eyedea, then ud know this is one of their biggest songs, slug is there jus cuz they real good friends
Love me some disco
