Maybe there’s a zeitgeist to it, a spirit about it. Warms my heart to know that my favorite niche idols continue to inspire and live in the hearts of others

    "I rape, weakness... and turn it into dopeness. I'm focused, cuz I hate weak shit... Peep it. Openin' up my eyes now, realizin' that everyone's sittin around while I'm grippin' the sound. Now I feel weird...peace!"
    That is just fantastic. Nuff said. Completely off the top. Goes with a weird transition and makes it work. And then turns it into something self-referential and conscious at the end by addressing his current actions, emotions, thoughts and surroundings. Those couple bars are the epitome of a true rapper.

    Now THIS is an actual freestyle.. See that's that shit I hate is watchin videos that say rappers are "freestyling," when, in all actuality, you can just tell that they're just spittin somethin they've written before.. granted, that does take a high level of skill to hear an instrumental and quickly reach down into your memory banks to find something that'll work over the beat, BUT.. you can tell when Eyedea freestyles that he's actually FREESTYLING off the top, unscripted.. and THAT takes way more skill..

      Brandon Boydston, he like many of the great musicians and artists of modern music died from an overdose. Wikipedia states that it was opiate based but declines to specify which specific opioid of the very large grouping labeled "opiates" that it was. Ive heard it was heroin but that might just be because I know alot of junkies

      He is obviously nuts, but I've noticed a significant amount of his bars are different ways of saying 'when i grab the mic i show how bad everyone else is'. Even him and Slug on the wake up show was a 10/10 performance, but it's all I could notice for most of his freestyling, just lots of variations of 'i'm the best, people think they're better but they're not' type statements, so it makes me think it's not quite as 'off the dome' everyone's making out.

    1:03 "that's why I'm bout to swoon, with the unit emcees is confused like a.......who?"
    "nothin on the slug line"
    almost like Eyedea was expecting slug to finish the last word in this rhyme, when he said "who". But slug didn't say anything or catch the rhyme in time. Which prompted Eyedea to say "nothin on the slug line".
    Anyone have any idea what word word Eyedea was trying to rhyme ?
