+Alex Joseph I cant get over the quick wit that he used to drop this dis. Eyedea said rap enhancer before this guy even took his first lame dance step.
+Zachary Dupile Spot on! You can see the moment his body language changes from being quite loose as he starts "I grab the mic', and the moment he sees the dancing start you can see him plant himself really solidly as you see his thoughts go 'gotcha!' and hits him with rap enhancer to set up the punchline. That alone should show any doubters that this was not scripted and the talent this guy had.
+Zachary Dupile That's just not true tho is it. 2:27 - first step 2:29 - Enhancer I'm not taking away the quick wit, 2 seconds is still damn quick but let's try and remain grounded in reality.
the fact is, it took 2 seconds to rhyme with enhancer but, the 2 seconds it took were setting it up. His quick wit was unnatural, he's still grounded in reality.
It's like... he's already gotten you for wearing red pants, for having a hand wrapped in a towel, for sitting down. What the fuck did you think was gonna happen when you started dancing?
"I grab the mic and straight be a rap enhancer, this cat wants to be my fucking backup dancer" Immediately after you can just see the light drain from RK's eyes.
He came up with that "rap enhancer/back-up dancer" shit too fast to be human. It's actually a marvel of human ability to be able to do that. RIP my guy
He made it look quicker because of his filler line "I grab the mic" he uses that alot and it fit perfectly with the rap enhancer rhyme he would've thought of after back up dancer but yeah it was still perfectly executed and quick off the top still my favourite bar of his to date
@@Mintomatt You're the only other person I've seen who caught that "I grab the mic and straight_____" filler. And you're another Matt. Great minds, etc.
I think it's sad that this guy gets so few views. Lyrically there are few, alive or passed, that could hold a candle to Eyedea. Freestyle legend. Rest easy brother
@@victormata6483 legendary for anyone who’s a fan of hip hop tbh. Most casual listeners won’t give it much thought, but anyone who genuinely cares about the culture can see and feel the talent
The speed of coming up with the rap enhancer / backup dancer line was superhuman. RK didn't even start dancing until the start of the bar. Absolute GOAT.
I literally had to do a triple take to see that he literally followed through with the punchline on the same bar that RK started uprockin.' Thats probably the dopest freestyle line i've ever heard/seen.
Rip to the greatest to ever do it, even RK couldn’t hide his grin at the end. he’s probably thinking “damn that was dope, I lost the hell out this battle” lol
The best part for sure... He was trying to throw him off and it was working. Eyedea was slipping, then he threw out the backup dancer bar and RK knew he just got schooled. He didn't even look mad. He knew he just got played by a pro.
Eziokilla9595 because he referenced an alleged "underrated movie" he should get praise? Fuck all that you don't get praise for talking about someone elses
If you guys look close RK throwed himself to the ground when the word "enhancer" comes ... LMAO he knew that something with dancer will arrive and he will be knocked out . also at 2:31 he says "GOD DAMN IT " while on the ground .... HAHAHA Eyedea was the best .
Eyedea was so good on this you would swear it was staged the way he was delievering punch lines as RK was doing the shit he was rapping about. The best ever at battling. Shells is right up there but Eyedea is a little more clever in my opinion.
David Merrell RK throwed himself to the ground when the word "enhancer" comes ... LMAO he knew that something with dancer will arrive and he will be knocked out . also at 2:31 he says "GOD DAMN IT " while on the ground
That "backup dancer" line off the top by Eyedea was incredible. But it's funny because something similar happened to Eyedea when he "battled" Murs. Eyedea was dancing and doing all kinds of extra shit to try to throw off Murs while he was rapping, but Murs was able to flip it on him the same way Eyedea did to RK. it wasn't quite as dramatic as this one but it's always dope to see emcees improv right on the spot during a battle.
Wow, truly off the top, he's top 10 dead or alive Real shit. A true Mc/rapper..lyrics, depth, flow all that I think he's 8 or 9 depending .....he's spitting to the man up stairs now, r.i.p
1:21 its funny that eyedea made a reference to this battle in particular in the song "Act Right" when he sayss the mocking line "this kid Eyedea, got nothing to do"
RK was more just being cute than being serious. His rhymes seemed like lines he tried to write before hand and remember under pressure. All in all, considering how it's so nerve-wracking to be in front of a crowd, everyone judging you, he did okay, and a LOT better than most people who clown him would have done. It takes courage to get up there. Straight GUTS. At any rate, yeah Eyedea made him look like a damned fool. Just, different levels. Like RK is a club fighter an Eyedea is Ivan Drago.
This, out of all of Eyedeas Battles, for some reason is one of my personal favorites. I mean, he absolutely demolished RK. From start to finish he absolutely demolished him and showed how talented of a freestyle rapper and overall rapper he was. “His pants used to be white until his period spilled” and “this guy what’s to be my f*cking backup dancer” lines when he started were absolutely PERFECT!! RIP EYEDEA!!!!!
I like this battle. Eyedea really had show what he has. He not just all about his rhymes. You see haw he said that bit about RK wants to be his back-up dancer? That was hot!
damn I thought that 1st guy was alright at first then all of sudden they gave eyedea the mic and he took that 1st dudes manhood away without saying shit/nigga every bar
"This cat wants to be my fuckin backup dancer" RIP Legend.

real freestylers do this.
The moment Eyedea dropped that back up dancer line, that's when R.K. knew he fucked up.
It's like... he's already gotten you for wearing red pants, for having a hand wrapped in a towel, for sitting down. What the fuck did you think was gonna happen when you started dancing?
Eyedea: "Hey yo it's time to murder you.."
This dude wasn't kidding. He murdered him real good.
From the crowd all I heard was booes
Bruh. He really did murder RK
Bro his opening lines were murder
Eyedea ripped him in half
yo whats goooooood
+Jamal Gutierrez Recently discovered you and completely dig your style and heard of your influences. What is your opinion on eyedea?
+Jamal Gutierrez metaphorically not literally learn the difference.
A-F-R-O figuratively *
Afro! Seeing you grow musically has been insane.
*this cat looks like he wants to be my back up dancer* That shit made me lose it.
Renkai Deatryx He said fuck why did I start dancing. Lol
Renkai Deatryx hes like oh shit that shit hurt
I am very grateful to R.K, because somehow he contributed so much to make this a legendary battle.
And to the song act right
Rk got murdered 😳
Someone had to get it. Honestly I would be honored
Respect to RK. Took it like a champ.
@@jamesradskijr.9745 watch him battle optimus prime shit was brutal
that backup dancer line hahaha
"I grab the mic and straight be a rap enhancer, this cat wants to be my fucking backup dancer"
Immediately after you can just see the light drain from RK's eyes.
He came up with that "rap enhancer/back-up dancer" shit too fast to be human. It's actually a marvel of human ability to be able to do that.
RIP my guy
Every time... I'm rewinding... trying to find the umpire signals lol. Cat was nasty. We always lose the good ones

Yeah, it's sad.
scott ford it’s because it’s not a big deal. Legendary for those who like freestyles? Absolutely, that’s it

Pause at 2:40 to see the embodiment of a grown man questioning his life choices as his dreams shatter around him.
+God0fForge fuckin toast
😂😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣
2:50 Krs having difficulties holding his smile
The best part for sure... He was trying to throw him off and it was working. Eyedea was slipping, then he threw out the backup dancer bar and RK knew he just got schooled. He didn't even look mad. He knew he just got played by a pro.
I Feel bad for RK,
He had no idea what he was up against
Eyedea definitely won, but RK referenced the film "Kids," which is enough to warrant a bit of praise.
***** Because, "Kids" is an underrated movie.
Eziokilla9595 fucking stupid ass movie with like 3 good parts to it
Eziokilla9595
because he referenced an alleged "underrated movie" he should get praise? Fuck all that you don't get praise for talking about someone elses
Poeticriffraff er My God, you're a moron. You're taking my "warrant a bit of praise," comment way too seriously.
+Ckypwnd no man,no,that movie was good.
One tip for anyone in a rap battle: if you're waiting your turn, just stand still. Don't give the comp any extra ammo.
If you guys look close RK throwed himself to the ground when the word "enhancer" comes ... LMAO he knew that something with dancer will arrive and he will be knocked out . also at 2:31 he says "GOD DAMN IT " while on the ground .... HAHAHA Eyedea was the best .
Thank you. I've been coming back to this video for over 10 years. And I never caught that "goddamnit"
Respect ✊
The back up dancer line, man...
RK tryna look like he wasn't interested but we all know he was cryin on the inside
Someone needs to make a meme of RKs face at the end and write: "When you find out you're battling Eyedea". RIP Micheal.
Quite possibly the most lethal unscripted destruction in a rap battle .. definitely top 10. RIP
RIP Eyedea
why the hell is this a spam...?
2:40 that face haha, he knows he lost
2:29 lol i think after he heard "rap enhancer" he saw the next line coming and sat back down.
Still watching this over and over
as soon as he heard "rap enhancer" he sat back down so fast
Eyedea was so good on this you would swear it was staged the way he was delievering punch lines as RK was doing the shit he was rapping about. The best ever at battling. Shells is right up there but Eyedea is a little more clever in my opinion.
thats the point I was making Lux. He for sure made it up on the spot. thats what made him the best.
David Merrell RK throwed himself to the ground when the word "enhancer" comes ... LMAO he knew that something with dancer will arrive and he will be knocked out . also at 2:31 he says "GOD DAMN IT " while on the ground
EXACTLY. RK knew he fucked up (by doing his retarded dance moves) so he quickly tried to stop when he heard the work "enhancer".
David Merrell Shells is up there!? Lol!!!
Oh my god, you're right, you can totally see him go *"oh fuck no"* when the "enhancer" part drops.
Eyedea was just unbeatable!
2:30 at that moment.. RK knew he fucked up
Yup!!
That "backup dancer" line off the top by Eyedea was incredible. But it's funny because something similar happened to Eyedea when he "battled" Murs. Eyedea was dancing and doing all kinds of extra shit to try to throw off Murs while he was rapping, but Murs was able to flip it on him the same way Eyedea did to RK. it wasn't quite as dramatic as this one but it's always dope to see emcees improv right on the spot during a battle.
The rap enhancer and back up dancer rhyme was perfect
Thanks for re-uploading this stuff bro.
None will ever reach such geniality in rap battles like Eyedea. R.I.P., dude.
Eyedea standing there like "Lol imma shit on this kid so hard"
micky bee99 XD
His fucking face after Eydea's verse. "Welp.. Fuck."
Man that was awesome! "This cat wants to be my backup dancer." Why you doing that shit?" Lmao! Yo Eyedea killed it.
LMFAO the line about wanting to be his backup dancer!
Man it's incredible this shit wasn't staged
Wow, truly off the top, he's top 10 dead or alive
Real shit. A true Mc/rapper..lyrics, depth, flow all that
I think he's 8 or 9 depending
.....he's spitting to the man up stairs now, r.i.p
Mikey stood proud!!! Rolling his eyes!
"My fucking back up dancer "
Me and abilities watched the blaze battle for like a year...this kid eyedea, got..nothing to do.
damn someone should bring back blaze battle
Eyedea was an absolute freestyle battle prodigy #Legend
RK looks like Antoine Dodson
Holy shit you're right
I laughed my ass off when Eyedea said "this cat wants to be my fuckin back up dancer" R.Eye.P
That backup dancer line DAMN
Rip Eyedea.
wow this was so awesome :d
1:21 its funny that eyedea made a reference to this battle in particular in the song "Act Right" when he sayss the mocking line "this kid Eyedea, got nothing to do"
Rest In paradise dude, It would of been crazy to see Eyedea vs eminem battle
it would of been epic. think if Em and Dizaster battled, it would be close but i think Em knows him well enough to beat him, probably sign him too
Eyedea would kill em, Mc Juice slaughtered Eminem. Eyedea vs Juice would be a dope battle
Eyedea would destroy both em and disaster...

I had to revisit this after Royce dancing for Lupe
The look on RK's face when he knows he just got murked at 2:40 hahaha. priceless

Freaking epic
This cat wants to be my fucking backup dancer!
He was making his shit up almost INSTANTLY thats insane freestyling right there.
He tried to play it off like he wasn’t getting roasted and he got roasted even harder😂
this is my favorite Eyedea battle
Freestyle is better than written
Great time in hiphop
Eyedea ripped Homie the Clown to shreds
The REAL B Rabbit.
He looks more like Caspa than Telly…Eyedea was unbeatable
I like this battle.
Eyedea really had show what he has. He not just all about his rhymes. You see haw he said that bit about RK wants to be his back-up dancer?
That was hot!
The underrated goat rip eyedea
Wow,the new 8 Miles movie look sick
damn I thought that 1st guy was alright at first then all of sudden they gave eyedea the mic and he took that 1st dudes manhood away without saying shit/nigga every bar
Even KRS had to hold back his laugh at that last line E spit about hus backup dancer.
Where can i get this amazing instrumental?
apparently nowhere
The way that last bar connects its insane cant believe this...! props to rk he made this one a classic. Rappers dont blow up, heads do
One of the greatest off the dome battlers to exist imo. Jin, Diz, and DNA are up there too.
im a big canibus fan, but when diz comes with the "never been a good shoulder to lean on" line man i was like dood is crazy
that guy got destroyed.
LIterally searched up " battle rap eyedea and guy in red pants"
“Crew: [N/A]” 😆
RIP eyedea u murdered this dude
Eyedea is the real-life B-Rabbit from 8 Mile
The back up dancer line fucking shut that shit down!!
He had KRS holding back from laughing at Rk because of the back up dancer bar. 😂
He's nodding like, yep, I got my ass kicked.
Rip Eyedea
As soon as Eyedea started, RK KNEW he was fucked.
His face the second he knew he fucked up
When your favourtie lyricist (Eyedea) mentions your favourite rapper (Bizzy Bone). =D
Looking like teli from kids.. that was dope
looking like telly from Kids ahahahaha
You think this is more funnier than the "backup dancer"....?
"more funnier" and I never said that obviously Eyedea bodies him but thats still a funny line that i can laugh at
+Bob Saget it is a good line
Was that judge i. The end krs?
Yep
At the end RK is like "yep I just got murdered".
2:40
Lmao he needed a few moments to soak it in, he knew how sick that was
rk sounded like a chick and came with prewrittens that were horrible
Why did they spin back RK's line @ 0:38 ??
the dj was skipping, and rk had him cut it so he could A capella
What is the instrumental Eyedea raps on during his round?
Darude- Sandstorm
That is funny as fuck...nice.
ever found out?
Eyedea decimated RK...
R.I.P. Eyedea
imagine trying to battle Eyedea
I want those -db readouts for my crowds lol
anyone know why RKs lyric gets scratched twice?? im not sure how that was done.. live?
They censored him dissing the Outlawz. Rk used the same line in a battle against Jin
RK's face at 2:31 is hilarious! Pretty sure he's saying "god damn".
That bad boy line little known fact Eyedea turned down a 1 million dollar from P Diddy. Stayed with slug and rhymesayers and the rest is history
Wow where did all the comments go?
Way too sick. love eyedea
