Eyedea & SLUG on the Wake Up Show

[slasher4443]

in 2010 the best rapper passed away R.I.P eyedea

[CelphSa]

Eyedea is insane

[ryan7200123]

Man both the motherfuckers are the shit if you cant freestyle like that then don't talk shit haha man love people

[twizda]

anyone else watch this with captions on? could they be any further off from what they're saying

[TheShimmer7]

@twizda who's they? its a program that does it.

[DietGrape]

damn i have to say i like slug's style more but eyedea is much more technical.

[Eziokilla9595]

Slug is better. 'Nuff said.

[prejorist]

@Eziokilla9595 slug is good but i would like to see him do this /watch?v=P3pxaTtFvqM

[Eziokilla9595]

@prejorist Slug always hit me harder than Eyedea. The Family Sign, Overcast!, God Loves Ugly are better to me. I love Eyedea, he's one of my favorite rappers. How Eye One The Write Too Think and E&A are great. But, By The Throat was terrible. Slug's been more consistent and more accessible. Slug is Top 20 for me, and Eyedea is Top 25. They're both amazing, but Eyedea lost his spark near the end of his career.

[BootyBot]

@Eziokilla9595 think it's because eyedeas style was based so much around aggression and his addiction just sapped it all out of him

[Eziokilla9595]

@BootyBot Probably. Look at him at the Blaze Battles versus the Smile music video. He looks FUCKED UP in Smile. In the Blaze he was so energized and so enthusiastic.

[PetrolDemon]

@Eziokilla9595 "fucked up", really? If you want to watch an emcee with good looks the underground is not for you. Appearance is the mainstay in mainstream "hip-hop" shit, so you might like a visit. If you put a rapper's looks over his lyrics, please leave the genre alone.

[Eziokilla9595]

@PetrolDemon Oh, it's not just his looks. He style was so much more fun to listen to during his E&A period than his By The Throat period.

[PetrolDemon]

@Eziokilla9595 On the contrary, I find that his amorphous style of going from philosophy, ego, life and hardships (in by the throat) gives huge versatility. And I definitely think Abilities' skills are shown best in their last album, not to mention Eyedea's incredibly deep lyrics. And spin cycle, sky diver and this story are all as exciting as their early stuff. Just IMO.

[Eziokilla9595]

@PetrolDemon I get it. Personally, Eyedea was always hard to listen to for me, maybe just because of his voice. I love his lyrics, but his voice never clicked with me. Slug was always more accessible for me. Just my opinion.

[bitemybeanerass]

@Eziokilla9595 HOW WAS BY THE THROAT HORRIBLE? AND HOW IS SLUG BETTER? HAVE YOU EVER ACTUALLY LISTENED TO ANY LYRIC EYEDEA HAS SAID? LISTEN TO ALL HIS SHIT AND ITS WAY MORE INTELLIGENT THAN ANYTHING ELSE

[Squiggleblorg]

@Eziokilla9595 Nahhhh never, Eyedea all the way, they are both awesome though

[jnlendrum]

best video on youtube

[Cgreene159]

"I know that the fact is my mustache is dirty, but I'm 20 but with this chicks think that I'm 30."

[xDezipop]

hate to say this but eyedea murdered slug in this freestyle

[jnlendrum]

@xDezipop it's no battle, they have completely different styles. but yes, eyedea is a much more talented freestyler

[zeezee951]

how could anyone dislike this -.-

[mattandersoniam]

i could listen to this shit all day.. eyedea freestyles are art.. dude just flows and keeps comin hard.. RIP eyedea..

[11musicgod11]

Genius

[Skateorshine]

[thizzlewiggle530]

eyedea fucked slug up slow as nigga lol na they sick

[LegitLew]

@thizzlewiggle530 nahhh. Slug was just being respectful by not cuttin him off<3

they're both sick as fuck

[Nannedu4O]

slug so SEXYYYYYYY

[MrDropCid]

Damn they are not even friends anymore after watching this

[CallMePsych]

so fucking sick, im not sure what this is even classified as its def rap but its influenced by rhythms like listen to them at 6:15 break into song...thats what made them special.

[zachwbc]

slug always had to wait so long for eyedea to stop spittin haha

[MrRipRoar]

Havin fun the way it should be

[Skateorshine]

said a lot but diddnt say much.

[ArchitectAu]

@Skateorshine its a freestyle, its not so much about content and message, but flow and thinking on the spot.

[TheOBfest101]

big l and tupac aint got shit on this deadly combination.

[TrueSomename]

@TheOBfest101 wow that is going kind of far, big l is a punch line rapper eyedea is a battle rapper two totally diff emcees can't compare.

[mrushton24]

[igetmoney69690101696]

@LegendarySpartan117 shut the fuck up donnie

[LegendarySpartan117]

@igetmoney69690101696 that comment really tied the video together

[igetmoney69690101696]

@LegendarySpartan117 my point is, here we are, it's shabbas, the sabbath, which I'm allowed to break only if it's a matter of life or death

[LegendarySpartan117]

@igetmoney69690101696 haha, you win man, i got no more high quality quotes

[CUSHMONEYRECORDS]

[cudi1is3god]

theyre just having a conversation...in fluent freestyle haha

[CardinalProductions]

RIP eyedea

[TerrorAlertDaKillah]

this shit is a little overrated.. judging by the comments

[s3bbe1337]

@TerrorAlertDaKillah Nah, Eyedea had so much more charisma and skill than others and wasn't trying to act cool and "gangsta" like many other rappers. At least that's why I like him :)

[92BadBird]

@TerrorAlertDaKillah overrated? what the hell are you talking about. take a look at his freestyles and listen to his albums if you want and you will see that he is UNDERrated 

[TerrorAlertDaKillah]

@92BadBird I meant this freestyle in particular, obviously he's underrated as an artist, whatever not gonna try to argue the point because eyedea is dope but there's a lotta better freestyles out there

[danksUnlocked]

@TheGrandHuslte ur gay

[TheGTCarson]

I wish my brain worked this fast...

[lomf]

eyedea was and will always spit the dopest freestyles. no questions asked.

[ZeroOrDie0987]

@lomf agreed

[dmn4]

fuck these sway and teck Gimicks oh we dont know about eyedea,yeah because you dont knoow about the dope hip-hop that i inject

[tytykoolguy]

LETS GIVE IT UP FOR RIVERSIDE!!!!

[Iluvcops911]

How is this not at a million views? This is and probably always will be the sickest freestyle of all time

[dopeman420420]

to who ever gave a dislike you are retarded this is probably one of the best freestyles ever by two very talented mc's. RIP Eyedea

[dopeman420420]

who ever did those 46 dislikes. i just want to say you are retarded cuz this is probably one of the best freestyles ever. who else besides these two can have a conversation while freestyling?

[QueenOfTheGreen408]

its official, its official, they go haard as HELL in this freestyle! <3

[deformingmarionette]

RIP Eydea you will always be remembered through your music

[jason93gangsta]

the audio cant keep up with eyedea

[FindTheBody]

RIP Eyedea, for real.

[Pacemaker182]

"Emcees don't know they never could advance, I'm like an avalanche their battle stance is shaking" Fucking deadly.

[ELSR1ER]

Daaamn this foo don't stop! UHH<3 RIP EYEDEA

[doodiko]

classic!



[wcwsax]

I FEEL LIKE LESS OF A MAN THAT I NEVER KNEW ABOUT THESE TWO !!!

[ShotYourTroll]

@wcwsax don't feel like less of a man just feel like a better man

[MrSeabass1991]

no matter how many times i watch, the "give the fucking mic up already" look slug has on his face never gets old.

[alexgoettge]

i cant believe this dude if dead.. damn

[jayska23]

eyedea best freestyler ever but gotta say slug is a better rapper

[UseHERname93]

its crazy that Eyedea mastered the Art of freestyle, and its obvious in this video

but to think that this dude is one of the greatest strory tellers and song writers is craaaaazy as fuck too.. god bless this man

R.I.P. E.Y.E.

[Aznsouldah]

i wanna know who went to his funeral

[EyedeaDubstep]

To be honest, im a bit sad that the two top comments both include Eminem. Eminem doesn't have ANYTHING to do with EYEDEA. Em is good dont get me wrong, but to me Eyedea is one of the bests.

[LoerSlays]

@LegendarySpartan117 You Sound Smart..Yeah I Was Thinking When I Wrote The First Comment If I Should Post This Or Not..Because I Knew A Bunch Of People Would Reply With Their Opinions That I Dont Care About .....Im Not Sorry And Im Not Changing My Mind. So Stop Wasting Your Time.I'll Just Stop Commenting On Wack Videos K..

[josiahkenan]

RIP Eyedea. That's what you call talent.

[BeatlesSydBarrett9]

omg I love this so much, seeing this vid is like a dream come true, and this proves that You don't need to bring another rapper down to make Yourself look good

[s3bbe1337]

Which year was this?

[LegendarySpartan117]

@s3bbe1337 2002/2003 I think

[s3bbe1337]

@LegendarySpartan117 Okay :D

[imdaddyp]

These dudes shake and baked those rhymes haha. rip Mikey Larsen

[Pacemaker182]

His brain just works unbelievably fast!

[kiragi17]

I fucking love the quid pro quo between these guys ya know?

[pantherleal]

This is one of my favorite videos on youtube. Hands down!

[abehaader]

I used to freestyle like this. Then i took an arrow to the knee

[pantherleal]

@abehaader Let me guess, someone took your sweetroll as well. LOL

[spanishdankrose420]

fuckin killed it.. ha im sittin in class, cant help but bob my head

my fist is to my mouth n im lyk awww damn. hah everyone is just lyk wtf.

damn if they only knew whats up.  i love it.

[WhenLifeExpires]

What I would do to have a Time Machine and go back to this time, this room, and just sit their and watch.

[GearGorrila]

@WhenLifeExpires If I had a time machine Eyedea would still be alive man

[AlexieRey]

@WhenLifeExpires i would go back to the night he passed away and helped him out through the night. R.EYE.P. pour one out for you homie. :\

[JDMacaB]

@WhenLifeExpires Agreed. I've always said the same thing about Hendrix at Woodstock. 

[Zrenjaninac]

Eyedea is just NUTS!

[GCrAcKa808]

shiit, can't help but smile while listening to this... RIP Eyedea

[oberzilla]

This freestyle is still goin in spirit

[wastedgamerstv]

This has to be one of the best freez EVER

[johnybob2232]

The beat's from Paragraph President by Blackalicious

[DNAfamilia18]

@johnybob2232 u know about blackalicious,,thats right homie

[MrBug96]

@spyu

Fuck his MTV ass!

[Pacemaker182]

@8150shaf He got it set off for him thats how you know its a freestyle, and it just is, clearly.

[Pacemaker182]

Don't test eyedea.

[biggstaffesc123]

slug is a fucken beast

[Ilovedelli]

R.I.P Eyedea.

[Akirsch16]

anyone have an idea of when this was recorded?

[LegendarySpartan117]

@Akirsch16 2002 I believe , maybe 2003

[Dosu3000]

this nigga sway talkin bout testin em? ohh shit

[Daveisforreal]

thumbs up if you agree that Sway didn't show them nearly enough love!

[Mbloc22]

R.I.P EYEDEA

[Siotin]

44 people are fans of Justin Bieber !

[Soupboy187]

Oldie but a goodie. Eyedea (RIP) just slays it - he was *on* that day. Sluggo is his same great self but Eyedea steals the bars and the time.

Eminem? Would have *loved* to see Em and Eyedea go toe to toe at their peaks given their speed. As a homer, I think Eyedea would have won.

[ak9o7st]

This is old. Still better then mainstream

[Taco4You2]

r.i.p eydea

[LoerSlays]

How Did I Get Here This Is Gay.

[jaykup13]

@LoerSlays oh sorry, here this is the link you were on before here: /watch?v=kffacxfA7G4&safety_mo­de=true&persist_safety_mode=1&­safe=active do us a favor and stay there.

[dimesach]

@LoerSlays You dance like a fag

[LoerSlays]

@dimesach Eminem Would Devour Those Faggots Souls

[Dejuification]

@LoerSlays Typing with all caps doesn't make you look smart, eminem talks about the same shit bitching about life, these guys easily wreck that pussy bitch.

[dimesach]

@LoerSlays Still doesn't change the fact that you dance like a fag.

[LoerSlays]

@dimesach Haha Its A Hobby Dog. Just Cuz You Listen To Gay Music And Live A Boring Ass Passionless Life Doesnt Mean I Have To. Go Eat A Dick ;)

[dimesach]

@LoerSlays "Its a hobby" is not an excuse for being a gay dancer, sorry

[92BadBird]

@LoerSlays ... calling a dead man faggot . ! you are a great person! . And even if Eyedea was alive, he would have ripped eminem in a freestyle

[LoerSlays]

@92BadBird Thanks ^-^ You Sound Foolish Though Eyedea Is Garbage..Sorry Yr Favorite Rapper Is Dead And Sucks.

[92BadBird]

@LoerSlays sorry, but you dance very gay. :D

[dailygrindism]

@LoerSlays Go die

[lisbethlarios]

Eyedea's verse > Slug's.

[411isajoke]

Damn. Can't believe this was nine years ago. Can't believe Eyedea's gone. Science fiction.

[TheGrizzlyMofo]

People act like they know rappers personally, eminem's was written. i guess he told you that at breakfast. this is nasty, so was eminem's. why hate on anyone, they are both dope as fuck

[youn4237]

Where the hell has Sway been? He needs to go on a reality show or something...

[AKskating]

can anoyone get me that track its so dope i wana rip it.

[pbalancetechnology]

respect!

[RellzDaRealest]

44 dislikes mean 44 people should be killed in there sleep

[AvA1Stevie]

You would never know these guys were like brother by watching this if you didnt know them : P

[8150shaf]

Also, he does one syllable throughout most his rap.

[8150shaf]

Eyedea is really good, but sorry to people who think Eminem did shit on his Wake Up freestyle.

The thing is Eyedea is doing standard rap, look at Eminem's complexity and how he merges lines together, It's better than this although this is reallllyyyyy good

[RaseshX]

@8150shaf that's because eminiem's was written and this is pure freestyle from the top of eyedea's brain. fool.

[8150shaf]

@RaseshX Really? Because you can clearly see that both of them were spit properly. And you don't have any proof so and reason I should believe you?

[RaseshX]

@8150shaf ask yourself this mate, if this was written - why has it got so many views? this would be pretty shit if it was written, hell i could write better than this.. Eyedea was known for his freestyle abilities (see his rap battles) - and you can tell its freestyle from the repetition he uses, how hes just talking in general not intellectually , references to the room. if this was written he would rap for 6 minutes straight either, thats like 2 songs.

[RaseshX]

@8150shaf also look at his songs for his written stuff, and ask yourself why are do they have amazing lyrics, flow and philospophy and this doesn't? surely if this was written it would be similar ? :p. I think what you should be amazed at though is that you were actually comparing an eminiem written to a eyedea freestyle in a good way! :)
