greatest man to ever touch a mic

[@eyedeasneverdie3348]

So this is what happened when you get 2 genius musicians who were ahead of the curve.

[@funbergrundberg8494]

Before Eyedea passed I thought he would be the greatest poet in my lifetime(no change yet), but every time I listen to E&A I still can't get over how amazing Abilities is, he should be way more famous.

[@CA237g]

This still goes hard af in 2019!!!!!

[@edgarmacedo2126]

I wish you were here still making your amazing music ! ): R.I.P Eyedea

[@nicholasvojnovich2766]

Best live rapper to do it

[@lisakarson3279]

Look at him go!

[@RyanGiggsOBE]

music aint shit if it dont make you 'smile'

[@ArmageddonShadow]

Sorry but I think he says "Music aint shit if it ain't got style" at 02:10?

[@dennfoo]

ArmageddonShadow RyanGiggsOBE you're both right in your own way :D

[@tylerzwhatz]

RyanGiggsOBE ArmageddonShadow He says style here but in his later preformances of this song he says smile

[@rego00001]

This is a hip hop show. One of the greats on a mic and a dope dj

[@devinwalker6231]

[@samanthajane3816]

[@jonatello2036]

Wow live and flawless👌

[@mariogonzalez7707]

Was so lucky enough to catch them Knitting Factory Hollywood 04-05ish. Gone way to damn soon!

[@TranzparentMethods]

Eyedea used NO backing tracks! That's phenomenal! Especially considering how HARD he went on this! Abilities is so sweet with his beats and scratches too. I love how Abilities uses a distortion pedal AND a whammy pedal on the tables! Damn, who thought two white guys from the twin cities could make such great Hip Hop.

[@side024]

So amazing! One of the greatest performances.

[@Indead]

Sad I never got to see him live, he killed this rendition, Thank you for all you did Mikey.

[@dennfoo]

@Office Icarus Any chance you upload more of this show? I asked this couple years ago, think you said you would...anyway, just asking again :) peace

[@christophermeyer3115]

How is the the only video from the show, yet it's so well produced? There's got to be more footage. I was at this show, I was like 15 years old lmao. It would mean a lot if more of it got uploaded.

[@glitzerd]

Justin Anschutz Wish I could watch this legend you're extremely lucky

[@mrecords484]

1:08 "This world is all asleep and I have no apologies!!!"

[@Ivilce99]

[@captnquazar2153]

Really glad I came across this

[@SuperHipHopGuru]

[@rastapoket7]

We're here to Bring the people and the music and the movement all together Now

[@llamatoots7699]

[@IKRAFTYI]

[@abc723]

Why are there only 25k views on this video? This man was a genius, and deserved a hell of a lot more than 25k views.

[@Alexithymiander]

Rhyme is forever

[@gallaga42]

This is music that should be on the radio not no lill Wayne shit

[@steveotto531]

Love this performance!

[@anthonytruman]

we innovate to generate a tapestry of musical and ethical epiphanies

[@giantgkpro17]

The interest is a minimal, I'm on mission to mess with an angel just to take it all the way to where the sun just like a runner loving sunny tryna turn it into a simple symphony simple sentiment adrenaline is coming back I'm in an inner city where I'd rather be a super star I'd rather be a galaxy but how you see is so dependent on the medicine and rhetoric

[@seandiesel619]

I really regret not taking in a live show :(

[@ztm1984]

You know...i kinda like it. This fanbase is sooo close, i love it!

[@podanyc]

[@shr00mzzzzzzzzzzzzzz]

Can anyone tell me how eyedea died exactly... I've been watching his freestyle for the past 2 hours and i like him, and want to know how he died :)...

[@olmanrich81]

Hiro Shima opiate overdose

[@dyingangelo]

id stick on my spliff

[@TylerTeedMusic]

He was addicted to opiates I believe. He is dearly missed may he rest in peace

[@66gfunk]

same...

[@poisonfists]

Overdose though appeared to have passed in his sleep.

[@JazzyAnasazi]

i never realised this until now, but Eyedea and Tyler the Creator literally do the exact same thing when they rap: they hop around, stiff arm flailing (Lol :3), and overall they have fun on stage. tell me, does Tyler know about Eyedea? XD

[@Ry-dn5xd]

There are a lot of rappers that do that and Tyler would not know about Eyedea.

[@jackcraig3759]

+556FATHOMS don't even try to listen to tyler, but earl sweatshirts alright

[@JazzyAnasazi]

jack craig Tyler is good, listen to Sam is Dead, i prefer it. and Earl is obviously good, but no where near Aesop Rock's level :3

[@jackcraig3759]

whateva man listening to it now, kinda good actrually

[@JazzyAnasazi]

jack craig Sam is Dead?

[@peacefulanarchist92]

[@OnlyFearOfDeath]
