[risingpauler]

[bensbravebabybenz]

[yojesus123]

[EmceeMind]

That face on the TV is tripping me out.

[meyezner]

[Slode420]

we're like the navy or the army, a dream that aint what it seem... Most indepth freestyler ever heard of, I hate when people compare eyedea to anything he was in the now of the when, and if any artist relates to that props to em, yameeen and if you don't, PEACE

[nestle161]

My god... What good rappers if not most inspired by slugo or eyedea, any better than Rick Ross or DJ Khaled, or Lil Wayne? NONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[jgreenlund]

oh my god. i am so embarrassed at every freestyle i have ever done after hearing that.

[highandmightykayz]

[johnnydowd22]

[92BadBird]

that "human" shirt is so popular for eyedea fans.

[outside925]

@92BadBird I've looked everywhere for it. Do you know where you can buy it?

[92BadBird]

@outside925 i don't think you can buy it :(

[risingpauler]

one be lo and eyedea, damn!!

[xenakron]

This is easily one of the best recorded freestyles of all time... and the crazy thing is that was just a daily thing for Eyedea to spit this stuff. I miss him but know he lives on by inspiring others... damn.

[MentallyJuiced]

I would pay good money for that mic, if someone could track it down. I'm in Seattle too.

[MrAdamthebeast]

Why does the video end without Lo freestylin?

[comedywhat]

I went through 23 pages of comments....no one still knows the beat to the first song!? Anyone has an eyedea?

[wileysaunders]

@comedywhat square one - my own world

[SFbashy]

@comedywhat I just seen your comment the first track if im not mistaken is by "Square one - My Own World" off the album "Square One - Mind.Body.Soul"

Hope it helps you out on your search.

[louisbrains]

[TetasMAgee23]

[luvensound]

[mbutunoi25]

dayum I used to fuck with this dude eyedea years ago yeaaaaaars ago like 5 and i ditn even know he died smh

[describe9]

Freestyle champion, he went emoish towards the end of his career but after dominating hiphops underground you really cant say shit. Aint feeling atmosphere's new shit either but like i said, gotta have respect for what they contributed. The underground really aint dope no more :\ looks like supastition was right

[87stevenortiz]

@describe9 he didnt go emo, he wanted to focus his creativity by other means. seriously when you've done what hes done with hip hop you dont stay, you move. its call progression.

[Isosyth]

@87stevenortiz Best comment ever.

[lokpg13]

I don't know why, I cried when I watched this video.

[1nfinite972]

man is a true artist, NO ONE in hiphop can freestyle like this

[vans4694]

@cico24730 haha I was just thinking about commenting about that

[peacetreaty94]

why does this shit have such a low view number?! -__-

[babybombermon]

Lmao, mans said hes inspiring rappers to re write their whole entire career

[blueconverse360]

I cannot believe they were in Seattle and i missed it. Fuck.  My heart=shattered.

[FlouieFluent]

is this at jam records? it looks like it is...

[nlty27]

Hope your resting in peace, Eyedea. "now I listen, close my eyes and forget I even exist. Ain't nothing quite as beautiful as music" -Eyedea -3

[Eyedeaprodigy]

Love this video , R.I.P brotha

[pnQuw]

jea right.. one be lo grabs the mic n its over, that suits. guess the cam exploded when he started rhymin. ok, serious, damn why isnt his part on this too? eyedea was dope as always.

[JBeezyDW]

love the reference to headshots vol. 2 at the begining, saliva, but i try ta

[dullboy28]

and that's why he is the best

[mustanghomerun]

SLUG AND EYEDEA.... amazing team

[sourpandas]

R.eye.p eyedea

[bah808]

He spit fire, and spoke the real truth. RIP

[Thailur5194]

That is the greatest T-Shirt ever.

[nlty27]

blows me away, 5 minutes of pure freestyle is too sick. RIP Eyedea the fucking legend.

definitely one of the greats <3

[ComeOriginal123]

i wish i could get that shirt that eyedeas got

[LegendarySpartan117]

@ComeOriginal123 @Thailur5194 Same. I might make my own one on one of those create your own t shirt sites.

[PanzyKing]

oh shit.

[csuvideo10]

I couldnt even write this shit, simply amazing RIP, its a shame

[PooorMeAnother]

R.I.P.- anyone who has had the misfortune of going after Eyedea.

[pencilgoboom]

god damn

[GreenEyedGirl20091]

he's insane.

[khobsupsk]

I was there!! That was the first time I ever heard of Eyedea! RiP!

[MrDefTankstah]

@khobsupsk If your not lying, I'm so jelous. lol

[92BadBird]

the bastard did it with his own hand :(

[simplybasic10]

@rabrasher Your mom

[jess1up]

Damn I wouldn't have thought One Be Lo would collab with Eyedea, two of my favorite mc's no doubt!

[cfrain0727]

anybody catch how he almost puts slug on blast in the beginning.

"bone underage rapergirls whats it like you said, people dont know about it therefore they never doubt it" hahahahah

wonder what they were doin on tour ahahahah

RIP EYEDEA

[liammcooper]

Eyedea you were a crazy motherfucker. Look at the respect in that room, he's just some scrawny-ish white guy holding down an entire record store for a solid 5 minutes.

[rabrasher]

his voice is gay as hell

[kaijustorm]

@rabrasher: gay sounding voice or not Eyedea could rip shit up ,straight off the cuff, unrehearsed. He was and will forever remain a LEGEND in the hip-hop community.

[hsephilly200]

Why the hell are people bashing One Be Lo?

[Insanelyrically]

I will be listening to Eyedea until the day I die. And then i'll be hanging with him in Heaven.

[thelilpimp622]

why was he not bigger in the music industry?

[PooorMeAnother]

@thelilpimp622 His next step would've have been mainstream. Mainstream doesn't deserve talent like his. They wouldn't have embraced him the way his underground fans did and still do.

[kaijustorm]

@PooorMeAnother the crazy thing is Sean Combs offered him a record deal and Eyedea said Nahh fuck it. He had the right state of mind if you ask me.

[PooorMeAnother]

@kaijustorm I'm glad he passed that up but what I meant was I feel bad for anyone freestyling after him.

[OFWGKTA420]

Dude alot of people need to stop getting on One Be Lo head

Don't point out the obvious, of course Eyedea murdered that shit.

But never feel you can't freestyle after someone who's better than you and just killed it.

Just have fun with it, as long as it's not some mainstream money,hoes, and cars bullshit

Go ape shit.

I wanna drop kick that old nigga in his face btw

[SARSWuTangDK]

Someone Should Have Slapped That Old Man As He Was Walking Out!!

[WarningRules]

That was FUCKING AMAZING.

[KingKoopa98]

What's the song called (the beat) my guess is it's just some rap beat but if it is a rap song, I would like to know.

[OverDoseOfPassion]

I didn't know Slug fucked with Binary...I would be so happy if they got signed to Rhymesayers for their next album.

[mistaxclutch]

idk if eyedea nd slug were mainstream. their music wud be destroyed.. underground / oldschool is were its at. its were not alot of people were venture to.. its what makes us different

[sportstwin30]

looks like one person miss-clicked and hit the dislike button.

[nutkins112]

R.EYE.P.

[MrDefTankstah]

Fucking Amazingg

[patrickWWW0]

Damn Eyedea.. whyd u have to diee?

[jeffentwistle05]

what beat is this?

[whirlgirl1]

RIP, what a talent

[OitarOne]

<3

[phester061594452]

best line from this freestyle...and it's so true....

"...these rappers on the microphone always annoy me with bullshit..."

that what today's hip-hop is like...I wish Mike were still here to straigten these whack ass emcees out....#goodtimes

[MrDefTankstah]

Woww. Amazing

[nutkins112]

damn, he's in a different world when he spits.

[maxdehart]

eyedea may be dead but eyedeas live forever

[SCAenterprises]

lol that guy that grabbed the mic was trying to step to eyedea. what a mistake

[DanMallaghan]

@SCAenterprises Yeah Its A Bad Eyedea To Step To Him Lol

[SCAenterprises]

@DanMallaghan haha i bet the one dislike was from the guy that stole the mic

[YoDisHotSTFU]

@SCAenterprises

the dude that grabbed the mic is One Be Lo of Binary Star. He's actually a veryyyy dope and amazing mc.

[SleepLifeDeath]

@SCAenterprises thats one be lo jack, eyedea is the shit but one be lo isnt a sucker, look up binary star

[freeyourmind31]

o shit cus, dat randy moss?

[cfrain0727]

@freeyourmind31 no thats One Be Lo of Binary Star

[cico24730]

windex

[samthegodlike]

The coolest thing is at the end, you witness the beginning of his change in style. From a battle emcee to a philosophical genius, and he stops because the people werent ready to hear it. Now we've heard it, and it is good.

[ApolloTheTruth]

"i used to eat mushrooms and think that i was climbing on the moon" haha dope

[keithrose4227]

One be lo and slug in the same room?????? Probably my two favorite emcees of all time, thats amazing

[pablomonkey93]

Does anyone know where i can find some good beats like this?

[Redgerecords]

R.I.P one of the great battle mc's

[rickyp17]

the first person to dislike this is the most ignorant fuck in the world.

[WonderNoobie]

0 dislikes so far.

That shit is rare.

Especially since it's been out for months upon months with over 10k views.

Damn. Nice.

[pablomonkey93]

WHAT IS THE FIRST BEAT!?

R.I.P

[bro0wniee]

holy shit....0 dislikes?! thats how it should be like, forever.

[BlackManSlim562]

0 dislikes, you see that up there Eyedea?

[TheDesertMessiah]

I just recently found out about Eyedea about 2 weeks ago and on the first day I had heard of him, I was told he died. I was saddened by it, and I'm not one to get upset about stuff like that. R.I.P. Eyedea.

[itluv66]

eminem sucks dicks, didnt you know MC Juice killed him and can freestyle way better? mainstream is poop. less marketing more talent/artistry.

[phester061594452]

4:13-4:32 FREAKING EPIC!

[gotlogg]

No one with a brain ever raps after eyedea.

[hsephilly200]

The first beat is amaaaaazing, and you can see the Beastie Boys Anthology album behind Eyedea :)

[YoDisHotSTFU]

RIP Mike, you are truly one of the greatest to ever rock a mic and a crowd.. And to those saying "why couldnt it be drake, wayne, etc that died blah blah".. They are fucking human beings. They make music to make money. Thats what they do, and they are pretty fucking good at it. You would wish death upon a person for becoming successful in life? Thats despicable.

[mpcloco]

@YoDisHotSTFU  he was the best!!

[stonedgeorge]

@YoDisHotSTFU make money and die thats the american way. fuck ya i got a problem with that i hate that greed bull shit.

[fukallya100]

@YoDisHotSTFU if that is wat u think success is about than fuck it i .i dont hate him but i dont think that is y people hate him comon man

but i know wat u mean there r people that writ shit all day and they dont know shit

[Desertbiker125]

@YoDisHotSTFU

"successful" That term may not be the best for Drake or Wayne. What did they succeed in doing? They succeeding in making money yes, but not making art. That being said... you can wish death upon someone in a rap battle... soooo why can't they just say it.
