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...

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.

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.
@CT999994 жыл бұрын
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.

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!!
