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
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
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.
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
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..
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.
@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 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.
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
@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.
@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.”
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.
@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
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.
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
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!
@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).
@TheEagerManiacs No battle is 100% freestyled. its a mix of punchlines, and some, off the top. And if anyone has told you they 100% freestyled their battles. They're full of shit. There is only some freestyle in it I don't care what anyone says EYEDEA did not completely freestyle his battles
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
obviously the top comments are from people who'll ride's tech's dick no matter what happens . they didnt do their homework and that's why they dont truly recognize how amazing eyedea is at what he does . tech and eyedea are both amazingly talented at what they do , respect it . shortsighted ignorant fucks .
You've probably never heard anything else besides eyedea. Eyedea is absolute awful garbage. get the fuck out with those bullshit trash lyrics. Its too easy to see when its Writtens. to top it off its weak. I call it bullshit.
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.
@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.
@1don187 what the fuck are you talking about? you're making faceless accusations about a dead man show respect, i have no idea why youre getting thumbed up either.
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.
@undergroundh1ph0p Yeah i know. do you also think deeply while your staring into your alphabet cereal. Are you fucking kidding me?? Eyedea??? hahahaha
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!!
@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 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
@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.
@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.
@beckdog81 mate you sound like an absolute hero, 'And I dont give a fuck who's dead', why is that? probably because no one will have respect for you when you die. what have you achieved? i don't understand why people like you go on the internet just to talk shit about whoever you can.
@beckdog81 You'd better fuckin' check yourself you faggot piece of shit. Eyedea is unfuckwithable (RIP) no matter what substances ever graced his golden mouthpiece. You're the equivalent of dogshit in this world, maybe somebody should have the pity to wipe you out...
@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.
@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.
@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
-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
@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...
@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
@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
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

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!

@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 4 months ago
@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).

@TheEagerManiacs No battle is 100% freestyled. its a mix of punchlines, and some, off the top. And if anyone has told you they 100% freestyled their battles. They're full of shit. There is only some freestyle in it I don't care what anyone says EYEDEA did not completely freestyle his battles

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

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.

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!!

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

emceeC100 5 months ago
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
