I rolled my eyes too when the other guy called Eyedea Vanilla Ice. What white rapper hasn't heard that played out line a thousand times. Then he called himself the black Sprewell. Ummm Sprewell is black, wtf?
@@deafbyhiphopLol no em made 8mile because he was already a scribble jam and rap olympics MC...he been battling before Eyedea he got battles from 1996...they probably knew off eachother but Em has plenty of battles from before he got famous

Met Eyedea selling merch at the National Orange Show event center in San Bernardino when he opened up for Wu-Tang in 2004. Kicked it with him for a good amount of time and he was the nicest dude. Thanks for the great memory Eyedea. RIP.
Am I trippin or did the crowd cheer louder (sound meter went higher too) for shells? Eyedea noticed it. Thats why he looked surprised when he was declared winner
I would like to know what Shell's yelled to the crowd after raising Eyedea up, something like get the fuck outta here. He knew he lost, would have been wack to take that jacket. KRS even point's to Shell's like well the meter says you so it's up to you, we all know who won but..
I went to Rock The Bells 2004, the first one and Eyedea and Abilities were on the bill and the crowd was extremely disrespectful. Eyedea said fuck it and let Abilities shred. Super disappointing for us fans. Great performance nonetheless. Met both of them and hung our dude by their merch table. My friends smoked with Abilities. Eyedea didn’t smoke (I don’t smoke either). Interesting lol. But that’s here nor there. Both were absolute class acts snd super good men. RIP Eyedea!!
seeing this again in 2018 is surreal eyedea. Im writing to you from a kid who once saw u when I was 13. Yo shit got me geeked back then and even more so now homie. Il pour some out for u tonight my brotha, and I wanna battle u one day lets get it bro. Love u so much rest in peace and know, ur one of the best battlers of all times. Nobody had it on u back then dude
Yes I was just thinking that I remember seeing Shellz in the Source Unsigned Hype. I don't even know what he's doing on this stage - who was his manager lmao?! career suicide
Only 19 years old at the time. Once I saw the video for "Smile", I said "Shit. This dude's gonna die young". One year later, dead. Hope I didn't jinx him.
Listen to the song by Eyedea "Even Shadows Have Shadows" he was 19 when he wrote it and said something odd about himself in 10 years... He passed away when he was 29...Check it out
I never knew about Eyedea on this show until today, but man this guy was absolutely murdering people even before dropping anything big. Max love and respect for Mikey. Just gotta appreciate what he did in life and not mourn over what he didn’t, yknow?

Didn't they do the crowd cheer vote twice, and krs one tried to give it to Eyedea?
Mikey stole all of my heart. ♥
I wouldn’t be able to freestyle over this beat because I’d just automatically say “I bomb atomically”
Also because I can’t freestyle
Were Shells and Eyedea cool after this?
That's cool if they were!
It’s nothing personal, to most lol. That’s the beauty of Battle Rapping and Freestyling.
Only 19 years old at the time.
Once I saw the video for "Smile", I said "Shit. This dude's gonna die young".
One year later, dead. Hope I didn't jinx him.

You don't have to tell me to listen to a song from Eyedea.
I've listened to everything from him and Abilities. Everything.
Far out man.
It’s ok - we all saw the pain in him and the signs of drug abuse. You didn’t jinx anybody.
Yes you jinxed him it was all your fault
This isn't the original video. The instrumentals they used during that battle were completely different.
Can anyone talk about the wholesome daps in between each battler's bars lol respect
Man this was awesome to revisit after so many years! RIP Eyedea. I still remember the day he left us.
