So unbelievably sad. I spent a lot of time with Etika this year, he was at just about every battle whether he was competing or not. He had the perfect combination of having a passion for the craft of rap battling and the love of doing it. All through 2008 he didn't win one battle, but kept getting closer and closer. Once he hit his third round here, I looked at the other battlers and we knew he may have just finally won. When his name was announced the winner, even the hard posturing emotionless world of rap battlers had to turn back into fans and rejoice. It was one of my all time favorite moments in rap battles. He was such a sweet, genuine person and hearing of his death is just heartbreaking.
@@kbkmafia249 There's always that one idiot like you. The OP came here to share a wonderful memory about Etika's character with the rest of us. How did you see that as a negative?
Patrick Severe There was a tweet that told him he should have his next mental breakdown on June 20th, because that’s when the kids are out of school. Etika responded by putting it on his calendar. I think Etika jumped off the Manhattan Bridge at midnight, June 20th.
damn it i just love the vibes this video gives off, the fact that it took place in nyc just, the homies clothes, the way they talk and thier gestures just the whole aestethic and how underground it feels, its so moody
Etika's rhymes were so fire that he was graced with a high top fade from God one faithful morning And then... EWN was born (but it ain't a news channel tho)
Its so depressing knowing he's gone he brought me happiness when i was sad he was so funny cheered so much people up just for him to go just like that. Rest easy Etika you will be missed
