  • eyedea is a much better rapper and freestyler. immortal technique is the most overrated underground rapper imo his flow can go terrible and his lyrics arent that good except 4 some amazing tracks like dance with the devil

  • Battling is Eyedea's thing. Tech has always been amazing at writing lyrics. So, this battle is kinda unfair to compare the talent of the two artists. With that said, I don't think there is a difference. They're are both G.O.A.Ts in my mind. Long Live Tech & R.I.P. Eyedea<3

    Your legacy lives on

  • That canibus line was Fire!

  • technique admitted eyedea won the battle lol. but he also said him and eyedea became pretty good mates after this, and used to chill and talk to each other about life whenever Tech went down to minnesota. he also said Slug saw him ages ago a requested a copy of revolution vol1. shame all 3 never did a track. would be the greatest thing in hiphop's history

  • Y'all should watch my video and comment on it, I just uploaded an UNRELEASED Eyedea freestyle.

  • ''YOU LOOK LIKE A 40 YEAR OLD BACKSTREET BOY''

    lmaoo

  • Comment removed

  • @migueleato funny thing is Eyedea was 18

  • Can someone please tell me what that 1st beat was called

  • @h0rsesh0er0ad tried by 12- east flatbush project

  • Heres a piece of Immortal Techniques song "Toast to the dead"

    Tech: Heres a toast to the dead , for all of my fam

    I will never let and "Eyedea" die with a man.

    (he later goes on to say)

    "A toast to the dead for rap legends and pioneers

    your legacy wont be forsaken as long as i am here"

    so Tech had much respect for Eyedea

  • @ElTekNiQue yh, when Eyedea passed away, Technique did tweet "goodbye my old friend" shame the never did a song together

  • Everyone check out immortal techniques song "Toast to the dead" where he mentions Eyedea truly powerful song R.I.P. Eyedea! :)

  • @SyteEditing Love that ish, RIP to J Dilla on that beat too...

    Been waiting for "The Middle Passage" since like '04 or so..

    But with Third World and this new free mixtape hes tiding us over, can't, CAN'T WAIT! to hear that Premier Track Technique recorded...

    (You check that vid. of Technique talking to Dilla's Mom about Toast to the dead?)

  • @cassiuscluh Yeah for sure!!! :D I'll listen to the interview right now :).

  • @SyteEditing he´s dead???

  • @61n9ner yeah he died in his sleep in 2010. They think it might have been a drug overdose. :(

  • @SyteEditing what eyedea is dead..how?

  • @Bredemann100 Yeah man, he died in his sleep. They think it might have been a drug overdose :(

  • @Bredemann100

    16th Oct 2010 i think it was. Like SyteEditing said, he died in his sleep and yeah it was a drug overdose. The name of drug has not yet been released to the public for some reason

  • @CallMeBaus listening to the lyrics in some of his songs, and his behavior in by the throat, and the way he portrays himself as a hip hop kurt cobain makes me pretty certain it was heroin, and injected.

  • props to immortal tech RIP Eyedea

  • @SamMulholland tried by 12

  • RIP Eyedea

  • RIP EYEDEA

  • I agree Iyedea won, but Immortal has really improved over the years and I would love to see the rematch!!

  • Immortal Tech kept it raw as fuck, they both did they thing, r.i.p Eyedea

  • ok who ever is saying this shit was a tie your mad retarded its clearly the crowd was cheering for eyedea more then immortal

  • Oh my god.. I almost nutted myself. Two of the best, Eyedea won, and thats that.

  • damnnn whats the instrumental??

  • Eyedea = Best

    Btw you shoulda played some Eyedea music at end..

    To See Winner ---> 8:31 - 8:38

    R.EYE.P

  • eyedea won as usual but it was close, though I thought it would be closer.

  • ''make you suck my dick and make your voice sound like canibus'' XD

  • Two heavyweights here.

  • Lyrics please D:

  • personally i think IT wins the battle 2 rounds to 1. I scored it like this: r1 to IT r2 is probably up for interpretation but i gave it to IT, and r 3for eyedea but overall 2-1 for IT. I think what detriments IT in his battles is his lack of flow, but lyric4lyric (his music especially) hes up there with the best.

    These 2 artists reach different audiences. IT's music is more about rawness, revolution and societies struggles where as Eyedeas is about personal,emotional & metaphysical struggle

  • @stylezka

    I agree- you do need to remember though that this is 2000 for IT. His flow has picked up a lot.

  • Fuck, Immortal Technique is trash compared to Eyedea. Eyedea is much more intelligent them some fuckwad. Seriously, let's be legitimate.

  • Can anyone transcribe this? That'd be great!

  • R.I.P eyedea

  • Anyone who talks shit about either of these emcees is either deaf or unappreciative of raw talent

  • all i can say is...

    an eyedea sparks a revolucion

    both are legends in their own right

  • i like how the comments were filled with nothing but tech dickriders until eyedea died

  • Comment removed

  • can someone please tell me the name of the instrumental?????

  • what was the instrumental? i swear i heard this again recently...

  • freestyling Eyedea wins hands down.

    but you cant compare these two as artists. immortal technique is a pure rapper, with his own style and puts his political views into his songs

    Eyedea went from a rapper to a poet. really philisophical, songs that make you think etc

    either way, both deserve to go down as the greatest

  • whats the beat??? i love it

  • @Mistarcid tried by 12 by east flatbush project

  • @Mistarcid well thats the first beat >.>

  • @supasaiyans whats the first beat? you never said anything...

  • Honestly Immortal Tech was my hero until I saw him battled, dude is horrible in battles and a sore sport, if u don't believe me then watch how retarded he acts when Iron Solomon demolishes him,,,

  • Lol the only time eyedea looks better was when he has battled weaker opponents. Tech is a top 10 artist. but he's LOST more battles than he's won. Eyedea did spit fire. but the closest he ever came to defeating the elite. was when he battled his friend ALI. Answer is garbage. Who the fuck ELSE HAS HE battled? I say this legend is folklore..

    Just like how Cujo never met michael vick.

  • EYEDEA is better. (and I'm Romanian)

    But how's this: Eyedea won this, yet Immortal says "I won every battle out there"... Eyedea's dead. :-?

  • Comment removed

  • Michael is a creative flow genius simple as that

  • Their both great artists but Eyedea got this .

  • immortal technique cant freestyle haahaha, he makes his shit up then bout halfway through he chokes hahaha

  • love both these guys. but you cant compare them. Immortal technique is a brilliant rapper, has amazing vocabulary and political. Eyedea on the other hand wasnt really a rapper just an alround musician with very profound lyrics in his songs and words that are powerful.

    Both are legends but in their own way

  • @RyanGiggsOBE eyedea wasn't really a rapper? please explain.......

  • @jamestbrown23 well eyedea rapped yes, but he also did a lot of accoustic stuff, and he had is sort of jazz/hiphop band called Face Candy, and his other band called Carbon Carousel. so i think of him more as an alround musical talent then just a rapper becuase you cant really place him in one genre

  • @RyanGiggsOBE all of eyedeas early music was basically emcee stuff. it wasn't until later in his career he started doing the grungy-like stuff

  • @RyanGiggsOBE Not trying to be all technical and shit. I think you meant to say was he wasn't "just" a rapper, not he wasn't "really" a rapper. He was first a rapper then decided to jump and experiment with other genres. I think it also comes down to when you discovered Eyedea. I grew up watching the Blaze Battles and Scribble Jam, never got into the new stuff. So you can see how I regard him more as a rapper vs. someone who'd catch onto his later work and see him more as an eclectic artist.

  • Eyedea, superior writer and freestyler, no offence to Immortal technique fans, it's not a diss.

  • eyedea a better battler

  • HOLY SHIT!!two of the best freestyle rappers actually battled...i honestly dont give a fuck who "won" both of em are awsome and for me its just crazy the concept of immortal technique battling eyedea...i can only wish i was their to see these two legends go at it

  • @RhymesayersIsDaTruth I agree, I also like your name haha

  • @IIZIFEII jajaj yeah man its just love for music, and thanks i just love that label and their music over their

  • @RhymesayersIsDaTruth HBO 2000 son!

  • @RhymesayersIsDaTruth

    RIP EyeDea

  • Instrmental ?

  • @Raiderfan649 Tried by 12 - East Flatbush Project

  • R.I.P Eyedea

  • Uhm.. did you just say that eyedea is a bad rapper?

  • Eydea is better

  • Would love to See Eyedea vs Iron Solomon, or Eyedea vs The Saurus

  • @ThePresident45 I think it'd be interesting, but the only reason why you can already say Eyedea would win, is because Eyedea gets on shit intelligently and really doesn't fling dirt in his lyrics, he strikes piece by piece. Iron Solomon and other people from those underground sessions are dirty as fuck with their lyrics, and they don't really freestyle to a track. Iunno.

  • @iOpacity

    Disagree. I think Iron could talk Eyedea. Not that Eyedea would not win, but i think Iron can free and has awesome writtens as well

  • @ThePresident45 Yeah, and they have very different flowing. Like, Iron Solomon has this dirty, hard lyrical way of presenting his stuff. Eyedea makes his own flow, and tends to speed up certain parts. Be some crazy stuff though. I always think though. "What do you say to Eyedea?" y'know. So yeah, true stuff though.

  • "Many of the MC’s associates took to twitter today to express their condolences. “We lost our dear, beloved, genius brother Eyedea the other night,” fellow Rhymesayers MC Brother Ali wrote. “Tears and tears. I just can’t describe it.” “RIP Eyedea,” Immortal Technique wrote. “Goodbye my old friend.” El-P added, “Sad fucking day.”

  • Ive heard every eyedea song and Tech song..

    Ive seen all thier rap battles too..

    Immortal technique hasnt written a new song since ages..

    Eyedea is a better freestlyer though..

    Immortal technique is more of a revolutionary then a rapper..

    Eyedea wrote many great songs and eyedea has more variety in his music..

    Eyedea = Immortal Technique

    When Eyedea died Immortal Technique responded to it by saying

    Immortal Technique: Its a sad fucken day..

    So show respect to Eyedea haters

  • They're both too awesome. My favorite and second favorite rappers together.

  • no matter how you peeps take this BOTH mcs spit truth and are DOPE AS FUCK and mad clever so stop dissing cause if you love off tech or if you love off eyedea you should love the other due to the fact they both spit about a deeper topic in their raps.

  • Maybe the comments here and a little BIASED? BIASED? BIASED? BIASED? BIASED? BIASED? BIASED? BIASED? BIASED? BIASED? BIASED? BIASED? BIASED? BIASED? BIASED? BIASED? BIASED? BIASED? BIASED?

  • Eyedea got served! RIP bitch

  • @moulton62 not really, you can be a fan of Tech and not be disrespectful to the greatest lyricist to ever walk this planet you ignorant vagrant

  • @moulton62 wow way to disrespect a drug addict human being whose better than you in every single way. rip bitch? wait till you pass away ill be the first nigga to sit there and piss on your coffin. dont ever say bitch when your saying rest in peace nigga died and he was a great poet and mc, so fuck off you lil dick riding bitch

  • Immortal Technique >>> Eyedea

  • @emceeC100 couldn't disagree more

  • Comment removed

  • God this brings back memories. I remember I used to like Immortal years ago, talking probably 2003, and I was on BearShare downloading shit by him. I stumbled upon this rap battle, that was unnamed, and I completely thought this unknown dude destroyed IT. The quality was complete shit and I had a hard time figuring out his name, which I figured out to be Eyedea (although I searched for Idea first). That was the first day that I completely stepped away from IT's music and fell in love with E.

  • @Pager1991 wow..what a dick rider...lol..just listen to both

  • @gangstamind187 sure *gangstamind*, i'll listen to inferior rappers...no thanks

  • @Pager1991 smh...trollin are we?..fuck outta here..trolol

  • Ill make you suck my dick till your voice sounds like canibus hahahahahaha

  • Im a huge eyedea fan, and also an immortal technique fan, but anyone bagging eyedea obviously are very narrow minded hip hop fans, he won too many battles (including this one) and wrote too many amazing songs (bottle dreams, shadows have shadows, paradise) for anyone to say bad things about him

  • How the hell can you say he writes his freestyles? look up for his biograpy this man was a GENIUS . google "the underground poet of saint paul" for the biography :) . Peace

  • HATERS ARE GUN HATE :))))

  • how can anyone say Eyedea writes his freestyles,do your research before making rumors he can kill it to any random subject or word you bring him!

  • Eyedea obviousely wrote his song before. If I was Immortal Technique I would have some writtens incase some asshole decideds to spit writtens. It's like kick me in the nuts, don't expect me not to kick you right back!

  • @chris96kalonji you dont know what you're talking about..

    go listen to E&A ALBUM IF YOU WANNA HEAR A WRITTEN! bitch.

  • @chris96kalonji Eyedea never spit writtens. Never. Immortal didn't spit writtens either. This was a fair battle and Eyedea killed his ass.

  • @TheEagerManiacs Immortal Tech has to spit writtens he does it all the time thats why he sucks in a battle, watch him spit writtens after requesting it be a diss battle when he loses to Iron Solomon, it was retarded I was super disappointed in him....he needs to stick to albums not battles

  • @withinsight2012 I agree that Tech spits written's, but I don't think he did here. Eyedea probably would have called him out for it or some shit, either way Eyedea murdered him (So did Solomon, I know the battle your referencing).

  • eyedea is an absolute genius...writing the lyrics that he did on that album he made when he was what like 17? a brain of that kind, I sincerely DOUBT that he wrote his freestyles

  • Both are excellent emcees and superb freestylers/battle rappers but you also gotta understand both have uniquely and drastically different styles and influences that play into everything they do. much respect to both of them and it's a shame eyedea passed cause he had some much more to do but that's life dude

  • show some respect eyedea passed away and he was one of the best battlers and overall MC's ever, so is tech. To say otherwise your fucking stupid

  • @Whyaretheyalltaken07 yes. exactly. if they did research at all they would see it is impossible for eyedea to be writing his freestyles.

  • @dedb0y exactly . stright off the dome 100% pure talent . too bad nobody knows talent when they see it now a days .

  • Comment removed

  • it's tragic how little credit you guys give eyedea. i think you're letting blind loyalty get in the way. both of these guys are really good at what they do. if you want to hate on some wack rappers, hate on some sellouts or something, lol.

  • you're a dumbfuck if you think "eyedea is wack", you need to give eyedea & abilities a proper listen.

    tech and eyedea are both legendary, those top comments are wackness

  • I'm afraid Eyedea writes his freestyles.

  • @1don187  I've always said that I'm not buyin it. These fan boys think he's legit. But the reality is. he's not!

  • @1don187 You can tell he doesn't if you ever saw him, he freestyles about shit he sees and is happening around him at the time just to prove to people it wasn't written.

  • @Umadbro21

    Because there are 6 people who never listened to Eyedea's music before.

  • That's fuckin dumb!! The only reason u say thesarus is better then eyedea is because ur riding his dick. Thesaurus doesn't got music out. His music sucks balls! He's dope at freestyling but he last many times in a written battle league. People are at an advantage when they write! And he lost! Shows how good his writing skills are. Lol. That's why his music sucks! He doesn't have the versatility eyedea had.

  • @daSwiftone187 You have no proof that anything is written. Eyedea won scribble jam. Saurus won it twice.

    Eyedea's writtens are total shit. get the fuck outta here

  • @moulton62 eyedeas writtens are sick as fuck..shits hella deep and abstract..kinda like aesop, shit you gotta think about

  • @undergroundh1ph0p Yeah i know. do you also think deeply while your staring into your alphabet cereal. Are you fucking kidding me?? Eyedea???  hahahaha

  • @undergroundh1ph0p I may have fractured a rib laughing at this funny man.

  • Big props to immortal technique! Very talented artist indeed.

  • All you guys talking shit about eyedea are stupid!!! You guys know nothing about him. He is in fact one of the best freestylers there was. How are u goin to compare him to iron Solomon? All the stuff he "freestyles" is written. Thesaurus is a sick ass freestyler! I give u guys that one. What's the point of being a dope freestyler if u make wack music though? Overall eyedea is way more talented then any of the emcees u guys mentioned because of his versatility. Period!!

  • @daSwiftone187 Eyedea is not on the level of somebody like thesaurus. Get the fuck outta here with that bullshit ahahaha

  • @TheJrizzlewillkillyo u r so dumb. tht is NOT FUCKING battling. tht is bitchass scripted bullshit. FUCK GRINDTIME!

  • @dedb0y Thats your opinion. Is scribble jam scripted?. Saurus took that crown twice. Scripted?. Eyedea is so wack his freestyles are prob half ghost written.

  • @1don187

    Thats your opinion. Have you actually ever listened to EYEDEA?

  • @1don187 you're a moron.. eyedea is probably one of the few who ACTUALLY freestyle, but who cares what you think? you're a faggot who hast no respect for true MC... and LOL thesaurus? really? that nigga is WACK, sure he's a great battler rapper (or was) but that's all he is, A BATTLE RAPPER! he is no MC like EYEDEA OR IMMORTAL TECHNIQUE! and you said eyedea freestlys are ghost written? MOST LIKELY IS THESAURES THE ONE DOING THAT, YOU PUSSY

    R.I.P. EYEDEA and

    Props to Immortal Technique

  • @1don187 do you know who eyedea is? he can freestyle for fucking hella long ass periods of time. you cant write something as long as he freestyles for. as for ghost writing, your a fucking idiot thats all. have you even listened to any of his songs?

  • @1don187 eyedea is prolly the best freestyler we've ever seen and technique doesnt even compare to eyedea in the realm of creativity and song writing ability. anyone who doesnt recognize eyedea's talent is simply blind. idk if its cause he is a little white guy or what.

  • @1don187 you're a fucking dumbass, thats what im seeing haha

  • @daSwiftone187 Yup.

  • The only thing i like about eyedea in this battle is, when he said,.

    "I'll make you suck my dick, until your voice sounds like canibus."

    Cause canibus really does sound like he's rapping with a dick in his mouth. True lol Overall Tech came harder though

  • Iron solomon >>>>> Eyedea

  • TheSauras would take EYEDEA's head off!

  • respect the dead you pieces of shit

  • @JamieBouzi Yeah, respect the dead? Why, everybody dies. I respect people for what they did while alive. And I dont give a fuck who's dead. especially not when there crack addicts and meth heads. lol fuck outta here.

  • @Tekst13 Eyedea sucks. and your a queer dickrider. You probably have eyedea posters on you wall.

    Clearly you havn't heard any real battles. because Eyedea isn't in them. besides this one. where the judges are a complete joke. Your a joke. Eyedea is a joke.. I just laugh. Get the fuck out! hahaha

  • @emceeC100 @dforcejustblaze @beckdog81 lmao at people thinking eyedea can't freestyle. I guess you think it was a fluke how he won scribble jam and the critically acclaimed blaze battle on HBO

  • @canucksrock09 He won it ONCE because he was incredible for a child only 17 for that one year. soon alot of people out grew his basic rhyme schemes. and he battled a good number of stiffs.

    TheSaurus won it twice. and he's beyond eyedea's level lyrically.

  • @Tekst13 I just wiped you out. so dissapear *poof*

  • @Tekst13 Eyedea is dead. because god punished him for being a fraud. 78% of it isn't freestyle.

    He's an actor. Your too simple minded to pick that up. And it isn't even that good. So overrated its a joke.

    And TheSaurus would destroy him in 4 bars

  • @Tekst13  Your dumber than weed. I don't need to respond because everyone else on here already put you to sleep.

  • @beckdog81 @dforcejustblaze @emceeC100 He won the nationally televised "blaze battle" as well as scribble jam. Haha. Eyedea was an actor? God was punishing him? Punishing him by plaguing him with a planet full of dipshit retards that don't understand what a REAL freestyle is. You did a faggy little calculation and got 78%? You fucking dorks. Eyedea actually said that in a rhyme in a battle he won... "You probably have Eyedea posters on your wall." Pretty sure word for word.Sorry I took so long.

  • @JamieBouzi Their*

  • Its pretty fucking funny, that you continue to argue this. Especially with the facts and medical reports. Your like an eminem stan with EYEDEA..

    but at least EM knew enough to check himself into REHAB (for sleeping pills and not meth).

    Don't talk to me. You should call up the medical examiner who did the autopsy and fight with him cuz this is a DEAD issue. (no pun intended)

    HAHAHA

  • @beckdog81 your a ignorant douche bag, eyedea wasnt a drug addict. The point of this video is that Eyedea destroys immortal off the dome, and even his albums. Listen to the CD First Born and tell me Eyedea isn't one of the dopest..on a level immortal will never be on

  • @steezbird Eyedea was a decent freestyler for a short time. Not even close to the the greatest. Sucks as an artist

    Immortal tech isnt real good off the top. He's a superior artist though.

    Dizaster is superior to BOTH of them off the top

  • Okay since you insist, here's some more...

    -in "color my world mine" eyedea provides a theory to the meaning of life through art and the idea of gods creating gods. Deeper than any of tech's songs

    -in "step by step" eyedea outlines a possible scenario of what happens when you die and the path to heaven

    -"a murder of memories" is about a veteran who was affected by a war and wishes he could erase his memories

    -in "smile" eyedea says that no matter what happens, always have a positive outlook

  • @canucksrock09 Too bad thats just your opinion.

    I don't give a fuck about eyedea

  • Tech's point of no return and dominant species are vastly superior to any of eyedea's writtens.

    Its real pointless to compare them

  • @beckdog81 So you might want to take back your comments about Eyedea being trash, especially when tech lost to him. Yeah, and I know Tech has good written work too...

  • That one i borrowed from hellbound by eminem.

  • He should've listened when Tech told him to go back to the methadone clinic

    Cause now he's fuckin dead

    ahaha

  • Immortal technique is the greatest to ever bless the mic. freestyles, live battling. his written songs are legendary.

    Eyedea is the best at never doing shit.

  • @moulton62 you're just straight up fucking disrespectful. nothing my ass, he made some of the best music i've ever heard. to say he did nothing means your ignorant of his truths

  • @moulton62 at least he is better than feminem

  • @bossiotr LOL @ better than Eminem. This he is not.. Even Diabolic is better.. shit Eyedea wasn't even the best in his crew. I'd rather listen to Brother Ali

  • @moulton62 youre wrong

    feminem<<eyedea
