Blaze Battle 2000 - Eyedea vs E Dub

[@banjoboy1223]

"Imagine if my stuff was written" yeah E Dubs that'd be crazy

[@Gio-hj1qy]

Lmao

[@James2213-]

Lmao it was to say crack and gats ass cracks lol lame written

[@ScotianBlooded]

wonder how long it took him to write that

[@juliantaylor5222]

To be fair bac then these kinda rhymes was normal. Now ima be clear I’m bias as hell here being Dubs real nephew but he actually isint known for prewrittens and embarrassed the girl he battled right before this for that reason.

Eyedea mouthing Eminem knowing that was coming is proof Eydea is among one of the greatest freestyles of all time.

Punchlines from Blaze Battle always pop up in my head randomly. Must be some teenage brain cells. I'm 30 now

[@AG-rz3ez]

“I have 12 seconds left” at 3:46 delivers his last line at 3:58. Eyedeas genius is unmatched. How do you keep track of the time you have left while coming up with a diss on the spot?

Nah as much he does on the side but he does party promotions now and just net works. He did a song with strike money aka Lickety split a few years back, and if your a fan of URL and know the battle rapper Calicoe you can spot him in a few of Calicoes vids

What I don’t understand is how the beat is TOTALLY different than the one I have on VHS. TOTALLY different. I’ve had this battle recorded on VHS from the original HBO when it aired in November of 2000. I’ve watched this battle multiple times and looked it up on KZbin and the lyrics and battle is the same but the beats are TOTALLY different. (Very confused).

no way was E Dub good. that was prewritten shit all the way. barely any line was fitting

Eyedea is clearly better but the 2nd verse of the other dude was pretty good too lol. Just different styles and rhyming schemes

[@justsomeguywholikesmangoes1363]

E-dub's 2nd verse fucked himself, rhyming Eminem with Eminem and calling Eyedea a wannabe gangsta. Seriously, I expected better from him.

[@alberts1985]

The way e dub just walked around lost it for him first off. Plus his second round verse was half written.

Rhyme In Peace Eyedea 👑💯🙏🫡

[@humanityisevil9244]

Yeah E Dub honestly won the first 2, Eyedea was thinking too much. But because E Dub was pretty much rapping on the last round. Eyedea won the last round by default, the only thing hurting E Dub. Was the stupid, cliche, Eminem comparisons & the X games line.
