To be fair bac then these kinda rhymes was normal. Now ima be clear I’m bias as hell here being Dubs real nephew but he actually isint known for prewrittens and embarrassed the girl he battled right before this for that reason.
@Sykedelik never and ever...eminem is the complete dude...he's not only a battle rapper lol😂😂😂😂downplaying him everytime they find some battler is a new tactic for em haters I guess
Killer punchlines?? Lmao. His punchlines being so easy comparing with real MC'S. Big L, Eminem, Jadakiss, Lil Wayne, Black Thought, Aesop Rock, Big Pun... has way better punchs.
Mike had the best B-Boy stance getting "roasted" by the adversaries.. He looked em dead in the face and basically spat in their faces. Even though he was different, he still stood head to head. RIP Eyedea. I didn't know him, but this is amazing.
“I have 12 seconds left” at 3:46 delivers his last line at 3:58. Eyedeas genius is unmatched. How do you keep track of the time you have left while coming up with a diss on the spot?
He really ain’t btw. I’m not gone give my opinion cause I’m biased with E dub being my uncle but you taking away from his talent he was litterally a blaze battle vet
@@juliantaylor5222 to his credit he was the best out of everyone else in the tournament other than eyedea imo. That's crazy he's your uncle. Is he still rappin?
Nah as much he does on the side but he does party promotions now and just net works. He did a song with strike money aka Lickety split a few years back, and if your a fan of URL and know the battle rapper Calicoe you can spot him in a few of Calicoes vids
What I don’t understand is how the beat is TOTALLY different than the one I have on VHS. TOTALLY different. I’ve had this battle recorded on VHS from the original HBO when it aired in November of 2000. I’ve watched this battle multiple times and looked it up on RUclips and the lyrics and battle is the same but the beats are TOTALLY different. (Very confused).
I have a tattoo of him in a sketch-style with his fingers making him smile from the video for Smile over my left chest. The world is a worse place without him.
Yeah E Dub honestly won the first 2, Eyedea was thinking too much. But because E Dub was pretty much rapping on the last round. Eyedea won the last round by default, the only thing hurting E Dub. Was the stupid, cliche, Eminem comparisons & the X games line.
eyedea definitly took it, but e dub had some rad spits too, e dub was a mile better than r.k. and shells for sure, eyedea still takes the battle rap crown as far as im concerned he would have destroyed any battle rapper with that freestylin ability
You said " he would have destroyed any battle rapper" Dude, take a listen to papoose then think about what you done said lol, lol, lol, lol, lol. I'm not even go say Eminem.. Psshhhh.....
Nah man, Eyedea really pointed it out perfectly when e dub said something about putting holes in his bandana... "hy-dro and hydro-gen", most of his 2nd round was prewritten
It was over the moment eyedea mouthed the rest of the line along with EDub. It was over when edub mentioned eyedeas bandana when he doesn’t have one. EDub hesitated and “hesitation is defeat” lol REYEP
"Imagine if my stuff was written" yeah E Dubs that'd be crazy
Lmao
Lmao it was to say crack and gats ass cracks lol lame written
wonder how long it took him to write that
To be fair bac then these kinda rhymes was normal. Now ima be clear I’m bias as hell here being Dubs real nephew but he actually isint known for prewrittens and embarrassed the girl he battled right before this for that reason.
@@juliantaylor5222 there's more this I mean at times it was painful
The 8 Mile Prequel looks realistic
haha yes love this comment
except eyedea is a better battle rapper than eminem

4:13 Eyedea's like "wait, do I have a bandana?". haha
lmfao
But I thought posting videos of murder was against the community guidelines.
LMAO
@@suave_d nowadays yes but back then no
Public Castrations are perfectly fine
🤣🤣😅
🤣🤣🤣
Eyedea pulled out that backstage pass, I knew he was gonna do somethin with it😂😂😂
I know right
He forgot to pick it back up.
"This cat straight got a k-mart sweatsuit".... Dub should have just quit after that.. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
3:52 “you look just like a gofer .. you couldn’t get a girl to look at you if you was a D Angelo poster” 😂😂😂
How are you gonna come back after that? 😂
@@ashleybrown4754 lmao!!! he Bobby schmurdered that kid.. you know he was waiting like 397 days to kill someone with that line
“You belong on MTV.” Lol Eyedea just looks at KRS-One like “ok”
I fucking died at that line yo
Not only is Eyedeas freestyle full of killer punchlines, his goofy delivery just makes me laugh everytime
Killer punchlines?? Lmao. His punchlines being so easy comparing with real MC'S.
Big L, Eminem, Jadakiss, Lil Wayne, Black Thought, Aesop Rock, Big Pun... has way better punchs.
@@ishaking6278 thats because this is when it was truly off the top. Not written in advance. You can see the beginning with edub
@@baghousetechnician9815 ok
@@ishaking6278 Haven't heard Jada or lil wayne freestyle battling in a while lul
Ishaking where's was a better freestyler
damn Eydea was straight fyah! Loss to the rap world. RIP brother!
he dead? woa, just discovered him today. much respect QEPD brother
Round 1: Eyedea's like "Ehh, I'm in a good mood today.."
Round 2: Ok now I'm pissed.
RIP Eyedea. One of the best freestyle rappers ever
Had to be the other guy's bad breath 😂😂
Mike had the best B-Boy stance getting "roasted" by the adversaries.. He looked em dead in the face and basically spat in their faces. Even though he was different, he still stood head to head. RIP Eyedea. I didn't know him, but this is amazing.
KRS one cant even hide how much he’s digging Eyedea. Hell yeah.
whoa, you know it's a proper rap battle when KRS opens
Eyedea mouthing Eminem knowing that was coming is proof Eydea is among one of the greatest freestyles of all time.
Lol you need more proof..?
Yeah, he is one of the best freestylers
E Dub must have disliked this video.
hahaha
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Love eyedeas face he just knows hes a beast
Watched this video about 100 times but never right til the end. Just seen the edub interview and he shows class.
Punchlines from Blaze Battle always pop up in my head randomly. Must be some teenage brain cells. I'm 30 now
I love Eyedea's expression when he's standing there having to listen to that wack shit from 1 ft away.
Tony Moore I definitely agree, “E-Dub” is my uncle and.... I think you can understand the rest
@MF YA SILLY I’ll ask next time I see him. E Dub is my uncle
My uncle E dub just texted me and said he don't rap no more.
as soon as Eyedea walks onto the stage as your opponent you just walk off respectfully cause you know you're gonna lose
@@davidsinclair1971 agreed, he had to start somewhere and was battling some of the best in the world. just a legendary career overall
4:59, Eyedea just calling what this man’s rap was gonna be. Fucking brutal
“I have 12 seconds left” at 3:46 delivers his last line at 3:58. Eyedeas genius is unmatched. How do you keep track of the time you have left while coming up with a diss on the spot?
Being really good at counting to the beat.
They had a timer on stage
@@sil-zk8061 beyond that Eyedea was known for knowning his timing. Numerous battles you’ll see he stopping right before time is up
Bruh
There’s a timer on stage. He was off tho. The clock said 10 seconds when he said that
Eyedea killed it. Or him... E-Dub had too many prewrittens. Didnt fit at all
Hip Hop Zoo he used eminem. Line twice, but those were good
Christian Campbell like?
He really ain’t btw. I’m not gone give my opinion cause I’m biased with E dub being my uncle but you taking away from his talent he was litterally a blaze battle vet

RIP to both of these dudes, both did their for hip hop e dub wasnt a legend like eyedea but he had some amazing tracks
damn he passed? crazy
Damn, E-Dub died, when?
@@kactusjaxson2965 2017, some kind of blood infection.
I love how eye always stands his ground every time
One of these guys is an underground legend, one dude no one remembers...

Ihateohioandmoving to florida Bro, I watched it too back then too...
the mandelah effect!
Damn now that I remember it, I think your right bro. Tf is this?
Roboy Tha GG we in another timeline
@@wicksellmetellus You mean since Blaze Battle? Yeah 18 years to be exact. God time flies.
I officially declare Eyedea in my top three fav rappers.
Yo otc I love how Eyedea just stays posted up in each battle, like he’s not running from anyone.. R.EYE.P
the crowd: AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Eyedeas face through this is hilarious he's the best
I have a tattoo of him in a sketch-style with his fingers making him smile from the video for Smile over my left chest. The world is a worse place without him.
Eyedea saying the Eminen verse E-dub used even before he used it like "hey, nice prewritten, buddy" hahaha
It's crazy how both of these dudes are now dead.
RIP Eyedea and E Dub
E Dub died?? Damn, Rest in Peace to him. A solid MC.
Are you sure it’s E Dub & not E Dubble?
Not the same person smfh
Nah he still alive , One of his brothers passed but he still going strong, actually spoke about working on a Detroit hip hop podcast
RIP Eyedea. Proper talent.
1:34 Hahahah.. That look from Kris... "Damn u nice, kid!"
Laughed out loud at Bart Simpson and Mystikal
"I've won more battles than your bitch ass has watched". Fuck, I love Eyedea. The world has no Eyedea.
I just witnessed a murder
You did good E Dub so don't worry about shit that aaliyah line was fresh
Always gotta go binge my boy Eyedea haha. I remember back in high school watching all this shit, I gotta do my school work now but fucking Eyedea man
I was here.
Always the master , just watching.
I remember watching the full battle battle back in the days and there was a lot of written but Eyedea destroyed everyone
E dub did the best against eyedea in blaze battle but it's still no match
Both were good man, people don't appreciate
I remember watching this shit live. Mikey fuckin blew them all away.
damn remember the "skater" style. so 90's and 00's . That shit was fire man, i was affected. big pants low slung man.
They need to bring this back and have some URL battle rappers to compete then have Eminem to host the show
Yeah E Dub honestly won the first 2, Eyedea was thinking too much. But because E Dub was pretty much rapping on the last round. Eyedea won the last round by default, the only thing hurting E Dub. Was the stupid, cliche, Eminem comparisons & the X games line.
Yo Fred Durst with cornrows 😂
E dub got on my nerves for pacing around the whole stage
Eyedea is clearly better but the 2nd verse of the other dude was pretty good too lol. Just different styles and rhyming schemes
😂😂😂 I am too high too watch this late at night
eyedea definitly took it, but e dub had some rad spits too, e dub was a mile better than r.k. and shells for sure, eyedea still takes the battle rap crown as far as im concerned he would have destroyed any battle rapper with that freestylin ability
no way was E Dub good. that was prewritten shit all the way. barely any line was fitting
You said " he would have destroyed any battle rapper" Dude, take a listen to papoose then think about what you done said lol, lol, lol, lol, lol. I'm not even go say Eminem.. Psshhhh.....
Supernatural?
Nah man, Eyedea really pointed it out perfectly when e dub said something about putting holes in his bandana... "hy-dro and hydro-gen", most of his 2nd round was prewritten
Is it just me or does it seem like E-Dub has very slender, feminine hands?
nightrain5150 haha I'm a ball player and noticed that he had baby hands for being a 6 footer...
nightrain5150 perhaps, but theyre still bigger than Trumps hands 😄😄😄😄😄😄
Looks like he hasn't worked in a single day of his life.
Oh yeah??? Well... Eyedea is like a light skinned Eminem! So...ha! Take that!!!
Keith Grenier he hasn’t
This was aired on HBO and the dude used Taxi Cab Confessions as a dis.....literal genius
You know E Dub is still wearing that same outfit.
Eyedea was truly freestyling. The other guy wrote his shit and it was still trash 😂😂
Pause @ 4:36 LOL
Sums up how much of a joke Eyedea thought E Dubbs lines were.
The way e dub just walked around lost it for him first off. Plus his second round verse was half written.
Eyedea with that genius lyricism
Apparently E-Dub got into his feelings and tried to throw hands or something along the lines afterwards outside 😄
He was pretty apologetic at the very end of the video. Admitted that he sucked. Hard to believe he was that upset later on.
He was the best at this shit. RIP
eyedea? taxi cab confessions reference? yeah this shit slaps
The days of fubu 😂😂😂😂
Eyedea🔥🔥🔥🔥
E-dub's 2nd verse fucked himself, rhyming Eminem with Eminem and calling Eyedea a wannabe gangsta. Seriously, I expected better from him.
The second freestyle for E-dub was actually pretty good....but Eyedea still won
At the end, the ref is like "Come on, isn't it obvious?"
Skittles had to write raps to come even close to the GOAT.... there is a reason Skittles avoided Eyedea.....bit his whole story from Mikey.....
I watched this shit on HBO back in the day....
It was over the moment eyedea mouthed the rest of the line along with EDub.
It was over when edub mentioned eyedeas bandana when he doesn’t have one.
EDub hesitated and “hesitation is defeat” lol
REYEP
Rip. Gosh I really wish he was still laying it down.
Why did he say he'd put holes in his bandanna? He wasn't wearing one lol
it was pre written dude
Eyedea is the Grand Master R.I.P.
That is racist you goof
Mr. Eye DEA destroyed this dog.
Dude's shit was pre-written, when he talked about his bandana , when Eyedea wasn't wearing one, and when Eyedea mouthed "Eminem".
I dont even have to wait who gets announced winner, there is no suspense. Eyedea went on a killing spree
He rob eyedea publishing, run ya ASCAP, or get cha ass CapD
Is that KRS introducing them?
John Chavie yes, he is the ONE ;)
RhymeSayers. 'nuff said.
Where the faulk are u From? Minnasota!?😀
Anticlimactic ending is an understatement.
2000 blaze battle was the real 8 mile story
The fact E Dub can’t stand still and listen to Eyedea really pisses me off. RIP Eyedea one of the best battle rappers in history.
Im so sad i never got to meet the beast that was eyedea
Eyedea was freaking LETHAL!
E dub had some decent lines
Eyedea was a skater and killed it (r eye p), Franco (possibly as good/better than eyedea) was also a skater and killed it. Coincidence?
That Timberwolves line isn’t aging well. Go wolves!
Watching him murder E-Dub was my fave part.
E dub was spazzing but sounds written
Eydea actually freestyling
Eyedea was hilarious 😅
Eyedea ❤️
KRS couldn't even hide after those lines lolz
Talking about Eyedea was talking about flashing gats? Myeahhh, we call that "written".
I miss those days
I must be the only one who noticed that the original beat was changed.
E dub was wack
