  • came her cause eydea too,....still rugged hip hop

    a cyphers a cypher ya digg

  • eyedea's talented but freestyle fellowship n the good life started it all.. myka 9 is one of the greatest freestylers ever, abstract is a genius. rhettmatic comes from beat junkies and turntables for visionaries... this group is dope

  • Eyedea would have murdered these fools. No disrespect to Ab and Zumbi but Myka 9 that was some sucker shit. Mike had way more to bring to the table as far as freestyling goes. Now that he's gone we'll never get to see that again.

  • BEST PART WAS HEARING EYEDEA IN THE BACKGROUND AND SEEING HIM LAUGHING WORTH WATCHING IT, THANKS EYEDEA I Laugh too!!

  • I think they didn't let Eyedea have any chance to rip it because they would have looked terrible. Brings to mind the line from Big Shots. "Put me in a room with your idols and I'll make them look weak" 

  • Thumbs up if you now know that a cigarette SERIOUSLY violates the cypher etiquette, LOL.

  • Eyedea got absolutely OWNED by Mikah 9!! Took his own rhyme and vanquished him from the circle with one line. Probably why he OD'd.

  • I was super stoked cause i thought they were saving the best for last (eyedea), but they just kept keeping him out of the limelight cause that cat was about kill it, thumbs up if you feel it

  • Eyedea did more with his 12 second freestyle than everyone else combined.

  • @DaHipHopVault Yeah everyone except Myka 9, Mikey's favorite emcee. They are both beyond dope, they are art.

  • @imEyedleYetActive: "Cypher" is spelled correctly. Check a dictionary before trying to correct someone's English.  Besides, who cares? nobody in hip hop cares about spelling except the Jew lawyers.

  • @fooloof It's spelled both ways, sorry for the confusion. Nonetheless my previous comment about them being true poets still stands inevitably and if you can possibly come up with a mind blowing refutation, please do.

  • Man... Sad day when Eyedea gets dissed out and cut off... I get it, but man its sad to watch these other fools run around the the same circles and same cycles in the presence of a young zen master.

  • I can't respect any of these clowns if they can't even respect a legend like eyedea

  • Comment removed

  • it doesnt matter how long you have been freestyling. eyedea would mop foos up in battles. go ahead get the spotlight in tv cyphers where people dont respect a prodigy, hes way beyond and always will be above the wackness. see ya soon eyedea

  • if i were in a cypher w/ eyedea, i woulda kicked him out too so I wouldnt get beat!

    RIP EYEDEA

  • eyedea got robbed HARD

  • yessir...rip my homie eyedea. thats the guy right there.

  • i think they knew Eyedea would steal the show. lmao

  • P.E.A.C.E was in FF, but Mykah was a more prolific freestyler. Tough break for Eyedea, but he joined a cipher with one of the guys who invented freestyling. Not that he was bad, but he should have came much harder.

  • @liammcooper eyedea shouldnt have to come HARD.. he should be respected in a cypher at all times

    the same way u would respect myka... this is a shame

    RIP EYEDEA

  • @liammcooper umm, i wouldn't say they invented freestyling, rappers like KRS-one have been freestyling since early 80s. They used to do it under the twin towers in the 80s when he lived there homeless. It wasn't invented by one group.

  • more like black septic, that nigga's doo-doo

  • Mikah and Ab Rude are legendary MCs! How can so many cats on here not know that!!? So much ignorance!!!

  • damn the way they were dissing eyedea kinda pisses me off though forreal? anyone have the same feeling?

  • is that dude crying

  • SMMFH

  • lol just eyedeas 3 1/2 bars were better than any of theirs. rip

  • i only clicked on this video cos i saw eyedeas face on the icon, he would of beat all of them. rip eyedea

  • peep out the wake up show freestyles with slug and eyedea, when eyedea says his favorite mc's come from the west coast cause they know how to style. he aint talkin about the game you little new school bitch. he's talking about the dudes standin in the cypher with him, who i aint gonna even name, cuz you aint worthy. he bit his freestyle from them. peace out dweebs, have fun bumping atmosphere and immortal technique!

  • fuck these nigas, eyedea is a fuckn BEAST!!

  • @VICTOR7oh2: fuck eyedea, these niggas is fuckn BEASTS!!

  • @fooloof fuck u, u garbage!

  • @VICTOR7oh2 : fuck u, u garbage!

  • @VICTOR7oh2: fuck eyedea, these nigas is fuckn BEASTS!!

  • ha! im just callin it how i see it fam.

  • Comment removed

  • These are the most bland stereotypical freestyles ever on top of everyone thinking it's cool to cut off and interrupt EYEDEA!!!! What the hell?!?! If I ever find the people responsible for this I'll fucking shove an E & A cd down their throat.... All these rappers are worthless by the way. I'm not saying that from Eyedea bias. I'm saying that so they don't get their feelings hurt when people let them know how much they blow....

  • @Degradation91 Haha too bad Myka 9 was in there, Mikey's favorite rapper.

  • eydea should or rapped instead of mistah fat ass bertch

  • duuude..... no respect for eyedea?? waaaaaack ass foos...

  • all you fools dont no wats up thats why.. this foos are ogs. u foos probly dont even smoke erb.. eydea sik i bump his shit but fuk ah battle why should i hassle r.i.p. but u guys gota realize..

  • EYEDEA said the least and STILL made the biggest impact!! STAY UP!!!!

  • FUCK ALL THOSE RAPPERS EXCEPT EYEDEA!!!!! 

  • these dudes are eyedeas idols and they cut em off cuz he was steppin to the cypher like a bitch

  • @kostefficient All those other dudes were saying the same un original shit! Once eyedea got in I was like "OH SHIT!!!" and when he got cut off it was bullshit! You stepped to this video like a bitch!

  • @kostefficient

    what the FUCK do you know about Eyedea's idols?

    NOT SHIT, obviously.

    you should really try to transcend passed a surface or two, it might just do you good "fam"...

  • Too many unworthy douchebags fighting for the spotlight.

  • thumbs up if you came here because you saw eyedea and left pissed off.

  • @davehedgehog

    you think eydea could touch anybody in the freestyle fellowship?

  • @groalerable Eyedea murdered PEACE in scribble 99 and if i am right he is/was in the Freestyle Fellowship

  • @groalerable Eyedea beat PEACE twice and his friend "otherwise" when he was 17.

  • Kosha Dillz looks goofy as hell but he went harder than anyone else in the whole vid...

  • Fuck this video! All these other shit cunts are too scared to let Eyedea rap because they know he would put their punk asses to shame.

  • This is some weak shit Eyedea looks totally out of place and has to almost beg for a quick spit that gets cut off by the fools around him who are spitting nothing but bullshit.

    Huh........ its just like the rest of the media industry...... BULLSHIT!

  • they cut eyedea off because they knew he would rip it and make them look stupid.

  • Why did they cut Eydea off with that bullshit??

  • Eyedea would have severed them all anyway. His couple of seconds was better than all those other clowns.

  • only clicked this because eyedea was in thumb nail.

  • at least kosha tried to get him in aha man will be missed

  • DISLIKE DISLIKE DISLIKE DISLIKE DISLIKE,

    HOW WILL YOU NEGLECT EYEDEA LIKE THAT,

  • i came to this video because the thumbnail was eyedea.

    fuck mistah fab

    zion i is koo of course.

  • This is a perfect example of black racism, they don't even give Eyedea a chance, because he's white, even though he would destroy any of these guys.

  • @reeseman60: black racism??  LOL. you see they let the other white dude catch wreck. Eyedea got clowned for being an idiot with that cigarette!

  • Shame on you @hardknocktv for not even having Eyedea's name in the title let alone spit his bars better R.I.P Eyedea

  • The only reason i wanted to watch this was because of Eyedea. *dislike*

  • skeptic nigga wit tha glasses was the worst. complete shit.

  • WTF is this beatboxer? i could have done it better myself. your all making too much noise stop bigging it up and just let me hear the fuckin rap

  • Eyedea would be the only one of these clowns worth listening to

  • Man. Mike(Eyedea) was a great friend. Kosh is still a friend. Rami, cheesedick for the camera?..tisk tisk FACT. Mikey would've slayed. some levels are not worth energy. trademark eyeroll @ 2:10.

  • ESpiv the last fool with the came over his head ript it thee hardest..hahahahha

  • Mykah 9 has never spit one wack verse. Word

  • i cant believe they interupted eyedea. he was smiling all the way though.he a true legend.best artist in this world at least.R.I.P.

  • At least he was having fun, It's nice to see him Smile.

  • dude! eyedea was just gonna start getting into it! you can hear it in his flow he was about to blow up! why did u interrupt him! arghhh!

  • suffering 2nd hand smoke when being outside. but I'd bet a blunt would be all good.

  • @sheeple444: exactly. most definitely a blunt is allowed, but a cig is not.

  • all you people are retarded there is clearly mutual respect amongst all here this is a cypher i mean myka was suffering from 2nd hand smoke you know so he told him to give that cigarrettte an exit "ITS ALL LOVE" RIP M LARSON

  • all you people are retarded there is clearly mutual respect amongst all here this is a cypher i mean myka was suffering from 2nd hand smoke you know so he told him to give that cigarrettte an exit

  • much love for the ff crew man. not the best freestyles but they are legends. every1 dissing them because they cut off eyedea. i'm sure he understood that and didn't say anything. i think his music is terrible btw. i like his freestyle but he is not the king. micah back in the day was untouchable and still going strong.they whole crew in fact. i would take any1 from the goodlife vs eyedea

  • @failure269 His music is terrible? Is that what I am reading? Please explain why. I am just curious to know if that is a personal opinion or if you just make the assumption that since you can't understand it and it's not a head bobbing beat that it is terrible.

  • it's just my own opinion. i have listened to his music and just didn't like it@Thailur5194

  • @Thailur5194 Okay, I can understand that. But the word choice of "it is terrible" was wrong.

  • Comment removed

  • eyedea is the man. we spoke after that that and it was all love. ( in regards to the emcees cutting him off) please dont make it anything more than a competitive cypher. Eyedea was one of the nicest if not the nicest to do it. Great stage show as well. RIP to my homie. a good fella right there. hip hop is missed within him.

  • @koshadillz big ups man, respect is the name of the game. rip mikey everybody misses you.

  • @koshadillz Thank you for showing all these negligent commenters that this was all love. Everyone is angry that Eyedea got cut off but it happened to be by Eyedea's favorite emcee, Myka 9.

  • myka is just on a another level, he has the privilege to interrupt everyone.

  • @fooloof why do they have eyedeas pic for the image and he doesnt freestyle peace's style in completely wack thta scribble jam of differnt pitches and and LA is home of the queers rappin in this video none of you got hype and everyone on here posts the same stuff calling you and your fav rapper mikgay 5 fags

  • Fuck you Mikah interrupting Eyedea

  • they have to cut him off cuz they know he will own that scene...

  • Eyedea = Freestyle King

  • It ain't about the ego

  • Eyedea easily could have just jumped in and killed it.  However, if he did that he would have made everyone else look bad. Like a shark swimming with some goldfish. -Haha- You can tell Eyedea was just trying to have some fun- those other dudes took themselves way too seriously and came across insecure in front of the camera they were trying to impress.

  • Comment removed

  • @jesterian you can't compare Eyedea and Myka 9, their music is to different. Eyedea was a genius, plain and simple. "Your whole genre's elevator music playin' on the way up to where my songs sit" -Eyedea on 'Reintroducing'

  • Check Out Eyedea Vs P.E.A.C.E. And NEVER EVER let this lame ass show use an Immortal Technique beat for their credit roll. They dont have the right, ability, or rep to be able to do that shit.

  • they dont respect him cuz hes white...

    if he still loooked how he did in the blaze battles

    it might be different.but he changed his style.

    rhyme in paradise

  • @inhaledakronic kosha dillz was white, and he went in...

  • In a cypher like that with so many mcs wanting to spit you gotta be aggressive and jump in, nobody's waiting...every man for his self, Eyedea should of just started wreckin, no questions

  • It's Hard Knock TV!!! Don't hate on Myka he's an O.G. R.I.P Eyedea.

  • Comment removed

  • eyedea is an outcast runt when it comes to the hip hop scene just tryin to get his mouth on one of hip hops perky nipples. he would have killed it better than any of those foos

  • Even Kosher Pickles got to drop before Eyedea

  • That wasn't Eyedea's crowd. Those were like ghetto freestyles haha

  • Comment removed

  • Cutting off Eyedea? Epic fail.

  • @Jesterian

    word!

  • @Jesterian

    Myka 9 > Eyedea

  • Especially when they cut Eydea off to lay down their weak, whack ass freestyles.

  • @Jesterian: entering a cypher with a cigarette? Epic fail.

  • I love all these MC's but it was a shame Eyedea didn't get much time.

  • Comment removed

  • its a five minute video with a group of known emcees so diverse that im sure there was others somewhere in that crowd you dont know if he choked and if u really listen mikah 9 wasnt even really comin at him eyedea hopped in with a butt wich is not cool regardless of stature or skill

  • @MudaUkNHOodGeeFoLyF3: agreed. never enter a cypher with anything other than a blunt.  and a true MC would know that.

  • for a guy that has won all these battles and is supposedly a freestyle king, he got shut down pretty easily.

    if you're a true freestyler, you don't let somebody pull your card like that.

    imagine if there's some guy making his rep fighting in back yards like Kimbo Slice or something. What u gonna think if u see a video of a dude sucker punching him and he doesn't fight back?

    this dude made his rep freestyling but choked when it counted. not a true MC: a rapper.

  • Comment removed

  • @fooloof Eyedea doesn't care man. He has done all of that, he was hungry in the past just ask anyone like sage francis or watch his old videos, in the video he was selfless on the mic and just does it for fun and doesn't care about proving himself or getting camera time.

  • @LegendarySpartan117: if he didn't care, then he would have never tried to get into the circle anyway. he did try, a couple of times; he just got shut down.

  • @fooloof He doesn't care if he doesn't get to spit but he wanted too, he is selfless. Checkout "watch?v=A00YbLTwIH4" , he doesn't care if he doesn't get to rap he is doing alternative rock music and is smiling man also you had no comeback to all the stuff I mentioned about P.E.A.C.E other than I mentioned he "destroyed" peace which was just my opinion. R.I.P Eyedea "Your favourite MC's favourite MC"

  • as a final note cuz this cypher isnt even that good so its not really worth the argument, trust me i know what a cypher is real cyphers not just arrogance and a camera real emcees spitting. and except for ab rude everyone here was kinda wack and mikah 9 isnt even that nice.

  • @MudaUkNHOodGeeFoLyF3:

    it has nothing to do with whether the cypher was good or not. the fact is, Eyedea tried to get on, but was shut down. and the fact that you say Mikah 9 isn't even that nice, tells me all I need to know about your knowledge of hip hop.

    debate over.

  • all of you need to research "Freestyle Fellowship" and "Mikah 9" and "Abstact Rude." You are saying stuff like they suck and that is definitely not the case, since these dudes pioneered many styles including Eyedea's style of fast rapping. all that cerebral and complex shit came from FF.

    reading those comments tells me u know absolutely nothing about these cats.

  • @fooloof Didn't Eyedea DESTROY P.E.A.C.E from FF when he was 17 in a battle?

  • @LegendarySpartan117: possibly. i never heard about it. he might have using writtens, tho. a lot of these newer cats do that. also, hungry cats always work way harder than established MCs.

    i'm not saying he's wack; I'm saying he's not a true MC in the traditional sense of the word. anyone that understands hip hop culture and specifically MC'ing, knows full well that you can't get punked in a circle like he was.

  • @LegendarySpartan117: just watched it. "destroy" is a gross overstatement. it was either a tie or Eyedea won based on crowd response. imo, P came with more diverse flows. and besides, he was coming with written lines like I said. Peace called him out on it. it's easy to make up punch lines about a well-known MC because he has a body of work and his own established style, etc.

    it's hard to clown a nobody because no one has heard him before.

  • @fooloof

    heh, Eyedea "Your favourite MC's favourite MC"

    1. There are judges, so Eyedea won because of the judges and crowd responses.

    2. P.E.A.C.E "I wish your ass was like a fridge and you straight get tossed"

    3. Eyedea responded to that line in a comeback which was obviously not written, none of Eyedea's battles are written (that can not be proven or denied)

    4. Eyedea's favourite battler was P.E.A.C.E, Eyedea and P.E.A.C.E knew each other b4 scribble 99 and Eyedea competed in scribble 98

  • @LegendarySpartan117: you said he "DESTROYED" Peace, and I'm saying that is far from the truth. I did not see a clear cut winner, although it could have been Eyedea. My point is that he didn't even come close to destroying him, as you claimed.

  • @LegendarySpartan117 yea he left peace in pieces

  • @calebzstewart Haha yeah!

  • fuck that, they wouldnt give the most talented one there a chance.

  • @801wiggitywack: he's not the most talented one there; it's Mikah 9. dude is on another level.

  • @fooloof He used to be, before opiates took over his flow.

  • in this video, you will see the difference between a rapper and an MC. a rapper is someone that practices the art of rapping; an MC is someone that lives hip hop day in and day out. A rapper allows himself to get shut out of a circle like Eyedea did. An MC demands the mic, because he KNOWS he's the shit, even if he's not.

    All these cul-de-sac rappers are soft.

    and before u try to make it a black/white thing; i know that Em woulda battled his way back into that cypher.

  • @fooloof fuck that an mc is someone that makes their own music not caring about crowding around a camera shining for their moment dropping soso lines these dudes are sittin around rapping eyedeas more of an mc than most rappers will ever be. eyedea knew he was the shit do your research RIP

  • @MudaUkNHOodGeeFoLyF3: do you know what "MC" even means? Rakim said it means "move the crowd."

    so, if you're just a studio rapper and can't command a stage, then you are not an MC.

  • @MudaUkNHOodGeeFoLyF3: and if it's so lame to crowd in front of a camera, then why was Eyedea trying to do it? he just didn't have the balls to step up and take the mic. chump.

  • Im not saying eyedea is better than any body its different styles and views on hip hop but saying something like eyedea doesnt have balls in cyphers or that hes not an emcee is an ignorant statement and its obviously based on your taste in hip hop not on facts. Eyedea brought mad presence to all his performances ive seen live or on youtube thats why he was so successfull in battles. And on another note if your cyphering like that its straight up dooshbag move to cut off a legend regardless

  • @MudaUkNHOodGeeFoLyF3: rocking a cypher is very different from rocking a show or even a battle. at a show, he has an attentive audience and fans; there is no competition. in fact, security will ensure that his performance has no interruptions.

    in a battle, he has his toolkit of go to rhyming words and phrases that he recycles (they all do it). in this case, he was caught completely off-guard and was unable to come back, which is true freestyling in the moment. 

    fail.

  • @fooloof hahah mc isn't just a regular rapper dude.

  • @fooloof i mean eyedea isn't just a regular rapper dude.

  • you guys are all a bunch of Eyedea fanboys. Dude ain't shit and never was shit. I mean, he ok, but not choppin' down no real MCs. you see how easily he got brushed the fuck off. a REAL mc woulda took the stage back.

  • @fooloof you sound like suck an idiot. you obviously don't know anything about him or his music because if you did, you would not be typing all of your foolish jargon out. if you even know what those words mean....

  • @hypercrazypunk24: you sound like an immature kid, getting all emotional about some cracked out, now dead white dude that never gave a shit about you. i wipe my ass with your opinions.

  • @fooloof fooloof is a fucking douche. i feel it just had to be said.

  • @symbal777: yeah, I'm a "fucking douche" because I shit all over your bullshit fake-ass legend and you can't handle it. fuck him and you.

  • @fooloof  you can shit all you want , your opinion doesnt count. you are nobody

  • @psyTranc22: psyTranc22: you can shit all you want, your opinion doesnt count. you are nobody.

    see how easy that is? anybody can do it. if my opinion doesn't count, then why even respond to it?

  • @fooloof I just taught that you might want to know something about yourself.

  • @psyTranc22: if I need to know something about myself, it sure as hell won't be from some clown that can't even spell "thought" properly. Have a good day.

  • @fooloof I speak freely on 3 different languages and english is my worst, I bet you can't do even that, but that's not the point. The dumb thing is, you come here and troll, hoping that somebody will agree with you, but nobody will agree with some random loser.

  • @psyTranc22: i don't care how many languages you speak, you have nothing to contribute to the discussion, which is: whether Eyedea is a dope MC or not.

    instead, you start with the personal attacks and now call me a "troll." if that's the case, then why even bother responding to my comments?

    and I'm a "loser" because YOU said so? grow up.

  • @fooloof Eyedea was an exceptional lyricyst, you said that he sucks, how can you say that someone sucks if hes a lot better at what he does than you? This discussion was the source of my occusations towards you. Judging by your answers I can tell that you are ignorant. You have an ego in size of a planet, propably don't have close friends. Sure can say that here and now that im wrong, wich i might be, but in case im right it wont change the fact. I hope i made you sad. you dont deserve sympathy.

  • @psyTranc22: i never said he had bad lyrics; I said he wasn't a true MC, based on how he got punked in the cypher. sorry you're so new to Hip Hop that you don't understand the fundamentals. and, enough with the bubble-gum psychology; you know nothing about me. sorry, no anonymous poster could ever affect my state of mind with his or her comments, and you accuse ME of having the big ego?

    i'm done with this convo.

  • @fooloof ok, well enlight me, what is a dope mc? someone with all the spotlight? someone that has 10 mil views?like pac, or biggie? maybie kanye? or em? are those 2 even Mc/s? kanyes text dont make much sense, how did he even got to the top?.. might be generation, i dont know. Offc I dont know anything about you, and throwing random theory about your life is just fun, what you would call it, bubble-gum psychology? I call it fucking with people. its a good hobby.

  • @psyTranc22: a dope MC is someone that can rock the crowd on demand. someone that commands respect by his stage and mic presence. a dope MC can freestyle and battle on demand. a dope MC does NOT, I repeat, does NOT get brushed off in a cypher.

    if anything, he should have immediately challenged Mikah or any of the other cats to a one-on-one battle. Besides, he deserved to get smacked up for going in there with that cigarette.

    he might be dope on paper, but not in the street.

  • @fooloof who are you to say who's a "true MC" or not?

    quit flexing your ignorance.

  • @symbal777: who are you to say that Eyedea is dope or Mikah 9 is wack? who are you to be calling someone else "ignorant"??

    it's called having an opinion. get over it.

  • @fooloof Go fuck yourself in the ass

  • @fooloof You are definitely a fool, Eyedea and Myka 9 are the best in there. If anything Mikey showed the most respect yet deserved as much as he gave. This was all fun in games, not some lame ass freestyle battle that gets you nowhere. I mean come on, I could win 1000 freestyle battles but the second I lose one I'm no longer the "greatest". You my friend need to learn about hip hop, it's all about the art and heart.

  • @imEyedleYetActive: what are you even talking about, idiot? sounds like just another dumb ass comment from another deluded Eyedea fanboy.

  • @fooloof Definitely not, although I'm an Eyedea fan I don't look at him as a god like some deluded fans. I just don't see what you are missing here, Eyedea and Myka 9 are true poets and that is all that matters. Cipher etiquette? I mean at least spell cipher correctly because if anything that violates writer's etiquette my friend.

  • @psyTranc22: as for hobbies, traveling, writing poetry and cross-country skiing, are miles ahead of being an Internet pest, at least in my humble opinion.

  • @fooloof Your humble opinion is gay
