yess he always does! just watched the classic video of him and slug on the wake up show. they had so much fun, and fucked tech and sways heads up they were smiling the whole time❤
This will forever be timeless. I honestly can't say if there is any other video I watch and smile cheek to cheek, from start to end. It's compulsory to come back from time to time so that this never dies. All the love.
Hell yea haha bro same back at Murs when he got him with the legend tour opening up and make him and sage Francis look elementary. I wish I could watch a million more of these I love em both R EYE P
I absolutely love this video. You can see Eyedea actually happy and enjoying the moment. Murs had fun and in my opinion a stronger game here. It's great to see the amazing chemistry and skill they had. I also really respect Murs for not going into the personal struggle Eyedea had fought until his death.
13 years later and still watching Eyedea. This is still one of my all time favorites. MURS and Eyedea - legends of the time. Eyedea went to HP with my sister, too bad they didn't hook up so we could've hung out.
"The best thing about the Legends tour is us opening up" lmao I love how this whole battle is talking shit about each other's crews all with pure love though..damn I miss HIP-HOP ❤
You'll never see shit like this on CZcams nowadays. I was never around for this scene but it makes me wish I was. When I search "Rap battle" on youtube I get scripted bullshit. This is just raw talent.
Just different eras man. I used to feel the same, but battle rap now days includes researching your opponent and trying to come the hardest with writtens. Two different generations. I can respect both
Braleven There's no way that Era could've lasted. MCs started coming with writtens to freestyle battles. Some were really smooth about sneaking the writtens in too. It wasn't fair when actual freestylers were losing to people sneaking writtens in. Eventually people just said fuck it were all going to agree the whole battle is going to be writtens now. But make no mistake, there's a lot of MCs that battle nowadays that still have insane freestyle game and use it for rebuttals or when they forget their shit. Thesaurus from scribble jam still battles. Charron is one of the best in canada imo and basically freestyle'd his whole 3rd round for the KOTD title agaisnt Pat Stay. I miss this freestyle era too tho... I practice freestyles almost every day but it's super difficult to find an actual freestyle battle nowadays.
the problem is people can't freestyle anymore... people are too lazy to sharpen up on their skills... and these MCs.. know it... I respect rawness and pure.. battle rap.. based on right then and there...
That was a mutual respectable battle, no low blows like I know both of them are capable of. All in all great fun battle, both of them have mad skills. R.I.P. Eyedea!
If eyedea really wanted too he would of murked murs pretty easily, but it seemed as if he was kind of buzzed on something and was joking around, rest in power
Slug said in a interview when eyedea battles his friends he doesn't go for the throat like he usually does. If eyedea wanted too, murs would've got destroyed tbh, still sick doe
I saw him live in Dallas about 9 years ago. Ability's solo was so sick , he threw his turntables into the audience and let people keep his records and tables. Sickest fucking hip hop show I've ever seen. Period.
Okay, I know Eyedea's a legend now since his death - and he is a hell of a rapper. But come ON people, Murs very clearly won that battle. His shit was more intricate, better-phrased, longer-lasting...I mean, he was simply the better battler there.
Not that I disagree. Just editing the fact that Eyedea was a legend before his death but yeah 2 legends goin at it and a friendly spar for bar. One of the best hiphop moments ever captured on film.
But we need to keep it in perspective you guys before you get too excited... 1) Eyedea wasn't really planning on battling at ALL in this event, he kinda got called out completely randomly and thrown into this and 2) Eyedea was DEFINITELY not giving it his all, he really wanted to see what Murs was really gonna spit about him, I think he was just caught off guard that it was as good as it was, I think he was probably expecting he'd choke at some point. That's what made it so epic is he really brought it.
EYEDEA DESERVES TO BE RECOGNIZED FOR HIS ACCOMPLISHMENTS, THE ILLEST OF ALL EMCEES/ A LEGENDARY THAT IS, A FREESTYLE CHILD/TEEN PRODIGY\ SICK FLOWS THAT NEVER DISSAPOINT MULTISYLLABLE ARTIST!!!! HE ONLY GOT TO STAY WITH US FOR A SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME BUT ACCOMPLISHED MORE THEN MOST PEOPLE ACCOMPLISH IN THERE LIVES!! A GOOD RO-MODEL THAT DEALT WITH STRUGGLES AND WROTE DEEP MEANING AND GREAT MUSIC!!! R.EYE.P Eyedea, you will always be remembered!
I love the respect they both seem to have, laughing, grinning and excited at one another's punch lines. You can tell they are both having a great time and recognize how good they are .
This is a trip now... I heard Slugo say Mikey kinda couldn't help going easy on the homies in battles. As this starts up Murs and Eyedea are both all smiles and already come off like they in celebration mode. Like rocking that spot already meant they both win
at 2:35 when Murs says. "Abilities is the best thing to ever happen to you, you geek.........I mean come on you a ______________". I think he was going to say TWEEK. But like Murs said, he didn't want to get into his personal business. And Eyedea ended up dying of a drug overdose. So pretty sure he was gonna call out his drug usage.
Murs just comes out of fuckin no where, trades Eyedea's drink for a mic and is like, step up eyedea. hahahah such a great moment in hip hop history. Won't even lie, Murs had heavy bars on this one. Always got love for Eyedea tho thats my main
Hahaha! Thank you Murs for starting this awesome battle. This is so epic. Just some friends messin around and being awesome. haha. They were so wasted.
this was actually the way i discovered eyedea. peeped this scribble jam when my homeboy copped it. been down since. rip eyedea gone too soon. he is now freestylin in heaven with the fallen.
i, as an old school hip-hop lover and (amateur) rapper, love seeing people of ALL backgrounds comming together and having fun! that's what it's about people! not being gangsta or how many cars you have sitting on 22's!
"ask slug, you know i get felt" haha fucking love that line love eyedea to, he sounds awesome here and hes not even trying. he is just briliiant. his songs mean a lot to me, rest in peace
gotta love this. two dope ass emcees just havin fun battling. no hatred no beef real battles off the top. not pre writtens months in advanced and mainly...its all love for hip hop
Eyedea couldve been twice this drunk on Blaze Battle and still won them EZ. Congrats MURS for standing ground in a battle vs Eyedea. Might be the only one to beat or come close other than Eyedea's apprentice and living legacy Kristoff Krane
This wasn't even a scheduled battle, Murs was drunk as fuck and feeling some kind of way and literally just awkwardly said some shit to start the battle, eyedea was clearly baffled at the entire thing and couldnt help but laugh the entire time..
Shit makes me laugh how Eyedea smiled through the whole thing. He's having such a good time. RIP
yess he always does! just watched the classic video of him and slug on the wake up show. they had so much fun, and fucked tech and sways heads up they were smiling the whole time❤
RIP.
He was such a good sport. I'm proud to have his face inked over my heart.
This will forever be timeless. I honestly can't say if there is any other video I watch and smile cheek to cheek, from start to end. It's compulsory to come back from time to time so that this never dies. All the love.

Dude imagine how hard that battle would have went if they didn't respect each other 😂🤣😂

I bet Murs kinda cries and laughs at the same time when he watches this :(
For real legends Rest In Peace eydea
I LOVE the idea of Murs watching old CZcams videos to reminisce about Mike.
Nah
Idk if he watches old stuff like this, it might be too hard. Eyedea was his best friend
Man eyedea was having a good ass time! I love seeing that look

This is what the cypher is all about. Rappers, graff artists, whole-ass crews clowning jokes with mad love at the end. This is fucking hip-hop.

Eyedea was a great guy to his friends, but he absolutely went for the throat on guys he didn't like.
theres nothing but love and good times up on that stage and its super infectious
I go back to this video every once in while.
“I’m the reason that you even started rappin..”
Haha 2 friends , gotta love it
I saw him live in Dallas about 9 years ago. Ability's solo was so sick , he threw his turntables into the audience and let people keep his records and tables. Sickest fucking hip hop show I've ever seen. Period.
I've watched this video so many times I love it. 2 awesome mc's ripping on each other all in good fun
hahaha "Mac Leathal rhymes better than you". best line
Fuck ya...
Mac has good Rhymes though xD
Brandon Boydstun he has nothing compared to these 2
Here I am 8 years later not even remembering making this post and still thinking it's the best line.

Always sad to see a life end - but this made me smile. He will continue to entertain, enlighten, inspire, and amaze for years to come.

I never noticed that, shout out to Murs for not bringing it up.
+Vextos I dont think od had to do with that? either eay I miss him I have a tribute tat to him. ,", ill still smile }
they were really good friends murs even made a tribute song for him and no he didnt od but his death was drug related
I thought he died of cancer..

"Ask slug you know I get felt" just caught that years later
You knew something deadly was going to bust out when Murs turned his hat back.

Damn i was 10 years old first time is got brought into battle rap
Such a dope find. Would have been a great show to have been at.

Pretty much the only battle Eyedea ever lost, and he had to be drunk out of his mind to lose it.
RIP to the battle rap GOAT.
it's one thing it was both murs and eyedea battling, it's another thing seeing how much fun they were having doing it. :)
I liked the athmosphere of this battle. :-)
HE IS BACK! He just did a show in Minnesota. E&A are back together! Praise... Whoever is responsible!
Haha he's just laughing and jumping, this video was so rad
"Mac Lethal rhymes better than you." Mac Lethal is a good rhymer now, but holy shit, he recycled from albums back then.
7 years omg.
Pure gold
They both did good.
Both are incredible.
