I'm forty this year and can't stand what my nephew is listening to these days ...Just going back through all the guys I used to listen to 'back in the day's with him. It's blowing his poor fragile mind. Thanks for your time and effort bro. Timeless, effective, just quality
@@simongumn3154 thank you so much! It was a lifetime ago so I’m happy to hear the work is still reaching eyes and ears :) Any artists out there need a video…hit me up! ;)
Where was this? That tour the Gypsy Tea Room in Dallas, Cats Cradle in NC and one or two other ones I was there. Living Legends wrecked that tour in a good way and E&A destroyed.
I have known and watched a lot of freestyle rappers in my life, and as a freestyle rapper myself, I must say Eyedea is probably the best there ever was. He was naturally gifted at it
They also performed this during the same tour so Im guessing the timing was close. He looked the same too. Thanks for having all your videos available!!!
@furyus01 that's makes sense also, I don't deserve thanks I just uploadedit from another website, but thanks for saying thanks and being nice about it.
@FluxOfPinkMexicans i dont know, maybe contact the people who hosted it? guys called william lemke and tim uomoto directed and produced battlestorm 3 I think, they might know if you can contact them but this is 10 years old I believe
it's good to see that not everybody these days is a tool. you, my friend, not only have good taste in music, but make some dope instrumentals as well. if you produced the ones you have uploaded, I'd say keep it up. you ever need a real underground lyricist on any of your tracks, you let me know and I'll write some sick scripture to lay down

If Im right this was the tour with Illogic, Busdriver, and Carnage. It was my first time seeing them and it was absolutely amazing! It was in Sacramento & the main record broke midway through E&A's show so they brought everyone out on stage to battle! Carnage got involved in an awesome beatbox battle and even though I love Mikey I gotta say that Busdriver fuckedemup in the battle. RIP
no it's not a diss. I mean stupid in the good sense of the word. Like stupid=not literal=cool=good=dope. "Stupid" is the only word strong enough to capture his skill on the mic.
@diszkidwaszheresz ME TOO!!!!!! ME TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! , some cool guy had a plain white t shirt and felt tipped it in blue with the same design, pretty cool, on there facebook I think if you want to see it, I should ask his mother if there is anyway to get my hands on it cause all I have is the "I Freestyle Life" t shirt he wore from kristoff krane
"let me guess your one of those people that jams lil wayne all day talking about young money like they fucking gods", That was his opinion. Why make assumptions, he might have a logical reason. If you're going to criticize them why not talk about the ideas of the music he might follow instead of labels to them (artists), don't be that guy that brings them into discussion which causes pointless arguments and comparisons, this is an eyedea video.
so tell me, since when have lil wayne, drake, or any of your other choked up fake lyricists ever done something like that? they havent. ever. never. not once has lil wayne ever once got on stage and have someone scratched, and then matched that perfectly with a freestyle. it does not happen. eyedea (and abilities) had (and have) pure, raw talent.
@@420starless y’know I’m so old I could def be wrong. It might have been 2002 haha. Either way I just pulled out my Brainstorm 2: Emcee Battle of the Year T-shirt I still have 20 years later to see if it had the date…it did not. Someone else in the comments said it was Feb 24 02. I remember it was cold as hell outside so that tracks. I could be not lazy and text my friend who produced the event but where’s the fun in that when I can just ramble on decade old YT comments?? :)
@diszkidwaszheresz @michaeldangelo27 I actually made one in word in 5 minutes, with "R.EYE.P" on the back but i still need to buy it off one of those spreadshirt websites, good luck and tell me if it came out well, hell even send me a picture if you can, thanks
If there are no ideas to a lablel, then the label has no meaning. Everythings an idea. Then you have to result to swearing at me "when you take you're anger out on someone else, it's only an escape from looking inside yourself". I'm guessing you probably accidentally watched this video?
just imagine another e&a album .. fuckkkkk. we'd all die happy , rest in peace my man. you are dearly missed
2021 still jamming his stuff on the daily
I directed and edited this video back in the day - Didn’t know this was on YT haha. Crazy.
Glad folks like it! It was fun to make.
RIP Eyedea

The illest duo EVA!!!! R.I.P Eyedea You are so very missed....Gone too soon :'(
R.EYE.P. I live every day of my life trying to follow your philosophy Mikey, I love you man.
Born to do it, best freestyler ever.
should be an album where abilities raps and eye produces lol
that would have been a trip
I have known and watched a lot of freestyle rappers in my life, and as a freestyle rapper myself, I must say Eyedea is probably the best there ever was. He was naturally gifted at it
a few years ago I got a hat from my grandpa that had that same exact human logo on it but I never wore it I swear that is crazy I miss this man
brand name, man? I'm tryn' find a shirt like this. if not, I'm making one..
my best guess is just human man😂
+Hipslacker looked everywhere on Google!! decided to have some made! thanks though for the reply
Any luck on the brand?
these two were and are like the GD of hip-hop. its like theyre in sync and the audience feels it too
True that
Love Abilities evil laugh at the end
If I wasn't told this was freestyle, I'd go through my whole life saying he spent moths writing it. How the hell can one be this amazing?
Straight from Minneapolis we miss you Eyedea!
Thank you for posting this i enjoyed every second of it rip eyedea
Abilities' laugh is the best thing
sounds like he's screamed his ass off for an hour, probably has, and still dope as fuck. R.EYE.P
Amazing skill and confidence. What a talent he was.
haha Abilities with the impossible freestyle flow at the end haha
yep.
thanks for uploading this, man.

Sickness
Anybody know the song at 3:33 ?
When Eyedea and Abilities start the 'Call n Response'
Shit is nice.

Dope as fuck. RIP
So crazy!
@LegendarySpartan117 I hear that. His work is and always will be still golden. RIP Eyedea.
February 24th 2002 going off the link in the description
Eyedea was a true mc lyricist born for one reason 2 freestyle. RIP
i think if he matched that last one the universe would have imploded
yooo eyedea is dooooope!!!!
Slapped out the womb a poet.
Insane
i've changed the description download instructions, i don't think i have the download anymore but it should be found with enough googling
damn he was too good to go
They also performed this during the same tour so Im guessing the timing was close. He looked the same too. Thanks for having all your videos available!!!
It's the Simon Says Instrumental by Pharoahe Monch
@LegendarySpartan117 I like your videos 2 they r really good !!!!
Hella dope!

@inactivepixel Pharoahe Monch - Simon Says (I think I've heard it other places, too)
@inactivepixel i first heard that beat on Pharoahe Monch album. not sure which one, but the beat is beastly.
look at the comment I posted before about that guy you replied to breh!, of course he has an opinion, that little intricate piece of infinity

Will here, showing up late to the party…by ten years haha. What was the question?? ;)
@furyus01 Cool story, thanks for sharing, but this was after the brainstorm battle 2 battles ended that eyedea had judged, then after they performed
my fckin hero!
it's good to see that not everybody these days is a tool.
you, my friend, not only have good taste in music, but make some dope instrumentals as well. if you produced the ones you have uploaded, I'd say keep it up.
you ever need a real underground lyricist on any of your tracks, you let me know and I'll write some sick scripture to lay down
The only battle Eyedea has ever lost. Abilities FTW! lol
I wante Eyedea's t-shirt so bad. Where can I get it?
