Eyedea Vs Optimus Prime

[@TRUEFUNKSOULDIER]

Authentic,Off the dome, spontaneous on the spot freestylin,on beat,while attempting to rip apart your opponent in front of a huge crowd like Scribble Jam is far from easy.Eyedea made that shit look efforrless! He was one of those rare cats who while spitting could already have the next verse on deck mentally locked and loaded yet simultaneously and instantly have a response to anything his opponent may be doing at the moment trying to throw him off.incredibly quick witted and fast with thought processes..using bridge verses like," Its all good though" as if to say," that was nothing,watch what i say next" He reminded me of one of these speed chess players who could think 3 to 4 steps ahead with his mental.knowing seconds count. no wasted movement.blasting on you before time is up.a very gifted battle rhymer who was a joy to watch.I would say Rest In Peace but dynamic energy never rest and that's the nature of Great ideas (Eyedea) they're always ahead of the curve and dominate even if its on another dimension that the physical eye can't detect.therefore,no goodbyes needed..we"ll encounter you again Brother.its all Good...

MC Juice?

[@suave_d]

Beautiful post.

[@calculus8219]

That was an extremely well articulated observation from a fans perspective. Peace and respect.

[@jakesteel1]

To this day, no one comes close to EYEDEA. Its ridiculous how good he was.

[@SuperHns]

maybe, The Saurus could have

[@pb_monkey]

or Franco

[@pb_monkey]

That seems biased. These guys would've put a up a good fight with him, hands down. They wouldn't be swept at all.

[@pb_monkey]

You said he'd sweep the floor with anyone. That's what I meant. Franco, The Saurus, NoCanDo, etc. They would all put up a good fight. You're disgarding the other people's skill, I mean, R.EYE.P, but you're just an eyedea fandboy.

[@nigelminatabushtybushty2335]

Big L 2000 contestants....

[@max.aura10k]

Eyedea wouldve roasted anyone on the mic, anyone. Plain and simple..

[@Jocotunes]

Brother Ali and Slug, he didn’t.

[@NevaSellmySoul]

I believe so EYEDEA was underrated

[@AG-rz3ez]

Blind fury would’ve given him a run for his money though

[@drudgeness]

I'd like to report a murder

[@industrialsteelframe3077]

Optimus started off pretty well actually but after eyedea started there was nothing optimus could do anymore..

[@zerozebra]

Eyedea was so ahead of his time. I wish when battles were like this.

[@maldekshadowkyss5740]

actually eyedea was perfect for his time

[@tonymoore1084]

Out of all the Eyedea battles I've watched I think Optimus Prime is the only one that didn't use 90% prewritten rhymes. I have to give him that.

[@NevaSellmySoul]

U must love Hip-Hop

[@jacksonrowe-williams3426]

Fuck I absolutely love the good sportsmanship observed in this battle - you can just tell that both of 'em respect one another in their attitudes seen here ... Awesome battle, awesome punchlines ... R.Eye.P

[@BornInsane0]

Lol that guy wanted to forfeit but eyedea said fuck no and wanted to land the killing blow lmao

[@MrConnorjay]

this aint a battle. its a slaughter.

[@The19thChamberOfDeth]

Eyedea won but props to that guy he was pretty good

[@camjohnson95]

Even before Eyedea has the mic, the dude just hands it over like "Yeah, I tried".

[@LikwitSwords]

Prime was good too

[@tomstrickingvlog]

Optimis prime really missed a trick by not calling himself optimus rhyme.

[@scootsmcgoots]

Omg best MC name ever.

[@NevaSellmySoul]

Yup Prime lost by default

[@papertiger9845]

Already another rapper w that name

[@Capsule71420]

Optimus Prhyme 🔥

[@manikn4585]

You think you are a Optimus After this you will be a pessimist Daaamn that wordplay

[@canadiangoon405]

Eyedea's second verse was ill.

[@chrismaw5117]

This still puzzles me how are real hip hop artist not as famous as these crappy ass mumble rappers

[@oer420]

R.i.p Eyedea, ..

[@son2425]

Optimus prime was dope! I remember him from subterrarium days back then.

[@popsmoke68w4]

Optimus a damn alderman now n shit.

[@KwaIified]

the beat is Mr Complex - Visualize

[@commonsenseverified]

"Fuck it, I lost." LMFAO!! Wow. I love Eyedea soo much.

[@the20hunk]

off the top Eyedea was one of the best, he even waxed Immortal technique in a battle once.... thats how good he was RIP.

[@InternetHandle123]

i feel like that battle wouldve been a lot closer if immortal knew how to hold a fucking mic

[@SwissChi]

DAAAAAAAAAAAMN, Mikey killed em!

[@dailyrapshow3757]

Last Verse = Hadouken

[@alwayscrispy666]

Eyedea would've murdered eminem's Kamikaze....or maybe he would've joined him idk. Either way he was a legend.

[@isaiahbanks3888]

This dude ain't optimus but I am ❤

[@monaolivas6808]

I literally took a piss and washed my hands in the beginning, thought I missed something so I rewinded.. turns out I didn't miss much

[@joey5580]

??huh

[@arexyouxepicxenough]

I don't know how Eyedea crucified almost everyone he versed but he did. I would've loved to see him go up against supernat or Juice even though it'd be a mountain for him to climb it'd be some entertaining shit. However, if supernat did what he did to Juice it would be no contest.

[@CT99999]

Would be amazing to see, but I think Eyedea would still win. Supernat and Juice were incredible freestylers, but Eyedea was an unstoppable battle rapper (in the freestyle version of battle rapping). The closest we got to seeing how well he does against comparably good, lyrical masterminds are via his battles against PEACE and Brother Ali. Seeing Eyedea in the Blaze Battle in 2000 was what got me into hip-hop. I've been a deep fan ever since. For the past 20 years, I've never seen anyone w/ a skillset quite like his.

[@sgtkabukimannypd8198]

The problem with going against Eyedea is his flow patterns, his delivery, his vocabulary, and the fact that you know it was all on the spot made it almost impossible for him to lose. RIP Eyedea!!

[@gilgamesh5082]

Jin vs Eyedea would of been dope!

[@coughlintm]

Optimus fuckin ripped that first round, crowd just didnt really get into it

[@brewcewayne8978]

The clips of the scribble battles are always considerably more entertaining to me, in the sense that almost if not all of the Emcees participating were actually good.. Watching clips of Eye at the blaze battle doesn't even compare

[@purrmonster9105]

Nah, NOT YET!!!!!

[@Unicysis]

What's the music that's played during the battle? Thanks.

[@Brancovtn65]

Did you ever find out?

[@PetrolDemon]

man eyedea just knows how to bring down anyone. when somebody raps chilled and slowly, he just rips em apart ferociously, when somebody does the same he just embarrasses them with precision

[@casper956illest]

I can see Em. in the crowd cheerin' for Eyedea. lol.

[@slowburn4553]

You Can See Pure Legendary Skills On His First Bar

[@johnq7165]

EYEDEA WAS SO RAW AND AHEAD OF HIS TIME... HE WAS ONE OF THE BEST TO DO IT!! #RIPEYEDEA #LONGLIVEEYEDEA #TRUELEGEND #RHYMESAYERSBATTLESLAYER

[@maldekshadowkyss5740]

actually eyedea was perfect for his time.

[@RandomCentral707]

love the angle. mad immersive yo

[@HenryFlamez]

The beat is DJ Spinna - Visualize

[@adanfiel4532]

RIP Eyedea🔥🔥🎤🎤✍🏾✍🏾

[@Brancovtn65]

That beat is so sick. Anyone know what it is?

[@Brancovtn65]

Mr Complex - Visualize. For anyone else wondering.

[@zeebird66]

Savage.

[@sil-zk8061]

Eyedea saying he'd swallow Prime's whole crew didn't age well. Lmao

[@thomasclark2230]

Eyedea has the best expression while his opponents rhyme..pretty intimidating even without the fact that his flows would've crushed you..RIP

[@4perspective740]

Anyone know the beat?

[@josemendez-fd5qz]

I noticed after all his battles when he spits he’s not even serious. Once he does that 180 or 360 turn he gets serious

[@StandMachine]

2:34-2:40. This is goosebumpsy and beyond.

[@MadSteveo957]

Thanks for uploading this bro We need to get on xbox at the same time haha

[@casper956illest]

Way better than Em Vs Juice. Eyedea greatest freestyle battler of all time.

[@BootyBot]

I have yet to find a vid where eyedea is not on the money

[@chiodori]

But will the transformer Blend?

[@SurgeCess]

I suppose you can say that Optimus was "primed" for a lyrical beatdown.

[@TCase0]

i like primes flow

[@ZAMAZ1]

EYEDEA BEAST!!!

[@lucianallan7424]

Forever GOAT

[@Eri-]

What's the instrumental at the very end of the vid right before it cuts off? Beat so fire

[@blakaxx88]

+Eri hell yea bro

[@Quake2815]

Eri sound like group home livin proof.

[@chillsterdam905]

Wanna know as well, don't think it's livin' proof though. These beats are probably hella underground. I'd be surprised if somebody finds it.

[@HenryFlamez]

It's MC Juice - Freestyle or Written

[@notahooper]

eyedea and em shoulda battled back in the day

[@MrSchism]

That almost looked like Aes sitting behind Eyedea.

[@thehanz123]

all these fools are old school hip hop dogg.. dont disrepect the great lyracists who u dont know

[@XxMATTxXist]

Wish hed battled em and wish hed collabed with cage

[@SurgeCess]

Eyedea would have quickened him!

[@insightvault101]

YOU GOT KNOCKED DA FUQ OUT

[@bodacioused1]

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh shit son

[@thasupremeoverlord]

'how the fu** am i gon' lose it's time for money makin'' WORST rebuttle of all time?

[@Myceliumification]

I thought Shells, "I got a gun, I got a gun" bit was pretty fucking terrible. The dude had already had his ass whooped so hard he couldn't think of anything else to say

[@CancelFGC]

whats the first beat?!

[@KwaIified]

Mr Complex - Visualize

[@dombaron5485]

Smokeddd

[@GflCrewReal]

does anyone know the beat

[@HenryFlamez]

Mr Complex - Visualize

[@SeyidAr]

This is off the dome right?

[@Sociobid]

Omar Little Yeah. Eyedea always freestyled/battled off the dome. As far as I know he's never used one written, and as good as he was, he never needed to.

[@TheCondorjc]

You must be new here.

[@LegendarySpartan117]

@Easymoneyist noice

[@WAST1NTIME]

hahhahahaah i will never get tired of hearing eyedea embarrass weak mcs.
