Eyedea was one of the best battle rappers, you should see his freestyle with Slug from Atmosphere on Sway from back in the day. Where he's at today up in heaven. RiP 🙏
Aesop Rock did a tribute to Eyedea with a song called Bats, with Kimya Dawson. Atmosphere did a tribute song called Flicker. He was well loved in the underground
Flicker straight up makes me cry almost every time I listen to it. One of my best friends passed last year and the "When I hear your smile it's outlined in sadness, you poked holes in the magic, you thought jokes to the clowns that never learned to appreciate the lights until the bulbs burnt out." Describes his life and attitude so perfectly. Broke down even typing that
@@NathanExplosion1989 Same, Flicker is so good but I can only listen to it maybe once a year just cause it's so sad. Literally makes me cry every time I hear it, Southsiders is one of my favorite Atmosphere albums but I usually have to skip that one lol
He was one of the best to ever do the damn thing, especially when it comes to freestyles and battling. Dude was so talented from such a young age. R.EYE.P.
I've heard tracks by him when he was only a teenager - like 15 years old. He was just as skilled then, just not as polished - because he was a kid. This track resonates with me and I believe I do understand him. This is his therapy. He had severe depression and anxiety. I think his mind was so quick and he was so intelligent that it must have been hell for him. His insight and realizations where decades beyond his physical age. Maybe my memories have me seeing him as a greater artist than he appears to be to others. I heard him recording in the bedroom at an apartment party one night, and I was too drunk to understand what I was missing. God, I'll regret that for the rest of my life.
theres a really good radio freestyle called the orphanage freeestyle with eyedea, aesop rock, slug from atmosphere, sage francis etc doing crazy off the head freestyles thats worth a listen.
Yes lads!!! Check out the "Eyedea & Abilities" Albums. The "E & A" album is really fun🔥🔥🔥🔥 The Song "Flicker" by Atmosphere is about Eyedea and his passing. Slug and Eyedea were amazing together. RHYMESAYERS 4 life
@@nathandts3401Another album you should listen to is Prey For Paralysis, by 2 of eyedeas very close friends, sadistik and kristoff krane. They wrote the album in a style like By The Throat to honor eyedea.
Just think, he wrote this when he was 19 (2000) and 10 years later, he was gone. Y’all jumped off in the deep end of the ego problem he couldn’t manage
Love the hype reactions and your guys consistency is unmatched. Y’all should definitely react to ‘only you freestyle’ by Headie one and drake, such a fire song 🔥
He's fortelling you , he did die in 2010 , thats the thing with depressive artists , its always to late you when hear what they told you , There is a docu movie about him . The world has no Eyedea ,
This is one of the best songs ever made. Eyedea was a lyrical GENIUS. It warms my soul to see all you younglings find him now. ❤

Hard vouch!! Eyedea and slug wake up show freestyle! Vote it up everyone

@@arexyouxepicxenough for sure!! he has such a catalog of freestyles. Face candy is like a whole band all improv

Y'all needed to check out slug and eyedea on a mixtape/collection called We Really Freestyle.
Nobody was better than Eyedea. Not one single person.
FACTS
Aesop Rock did a tribute to Eyedea with a song called Bats, with Kimya Dawson. Atmosphere did a tribute song called Flicker. He was well loved in the underground
Also Murs- I miss Mikey

Huge loss to hip hop when we lost Eyedea.
Sadistic's song Micheal is so good...

Omg how did I miss this upload! Eyedea’s music taught me a lot. He was a legend to a lot of us
Wasn't this the one he recorded when he was 19? This is the song that introduced me to rap that wasn't just about women, money and drugs.

yeah he says all 19 years of my life in this song lol
I thought he wrote this when he was 16
The sample for this song is Tublar Bells, aka The Exorcist Theme. Such a crazy flip.
RIP Eyedea you will forever be missed!
The world has no EYEDEA 🎉

Epic
“Shut the f up when you talk to me”… still the best track intro to this day
Yessss, Eyedea is a goat. Check out Smile, Now, and his freestyle with Slug from atmosphere.
Eyedea was a crazy lyricist and he suffered from depression and addiction. He died from an opiate overdose
Yes lads!!! Check out the "Eyedea & Abilities" Albums. The "E & A" album is really fun🔥🔥🔥🔥 The Song "Flicker" by Atmosphere is about Eyedea and his passing. Slug and Eyedea were amazing together. RHYMESAYERS 4 life

Just think, he wrote this when he was 19 (2000) and 10 years later, he was gone. Y’all jumped off in the deep end of the ego problem he couldn’t manage
this is his life, and he was mentally ill and traumatized, that is this
you need to check out First Born! Amazing album.
If you just want a song to react to check out "Smile" from the album By The Throat.
He’s passed 😢
You should check out Dive part 1 and 2. Holy fckkkk.
Love the hype reactions and your guys consistency is unmatched. Y’all should definitely react to ‘only you freestyle’ by Headie one and drake, such a fire song 🔥

Best rapper in my opinion next to Eminem. Dudes unreal. Check out Birth Of a Fish and Powdered water part 1 and 2
