Only if Eyedea & Eminem crossed paths against each other at a Scribble Jam. Now we can only just wonder what would've happened. R.EYE.P. Micheal 'Eyedea' Larsen
Take that component away and it's less of a lead for Em. As far as critical acclaim, Eyedea doesn't have any albums that are over the top as far as I know, but I know By the Throat was well received, and lyrically Eyedea can nearly match Em any day. Take that for what you will
Eminem was decent for a small period of time, that's it, he isn't an amazing solo artist, amazing battle rapper or freestyler, Eyedea crushes him in every aspect of rap...
I'm a huge Em fanboy who can vouch that the body of work he's created throughout his career is the most impressive display of rapping in hip-hop history. So? Nearly everybody loves Eminem dude. Not just 13 yr old white girls.
Ha! I really didn't notice until you mentioned it. Had me going back to part 1 and being more observant. I hate to make accusations, but I think you're right. lol.
If an artist achieves both, that's incredible, no easy feat to accomplish. Eminem has done both of those: critical praise (MM:LP, ES) and commercial (nearly every album by him). It's almost unfair to compare Eyedea's work with Em, as I said, because it falls short 1,000,000-fold. However, a lot of that success comes from Em's commercial achievements.
To judge an individual's solo career you would have to judge the quality of their albums produced, correct? Then we judge those albums based off of critical acclaim and commercial success, generally ( I like to list lyricism as another thing that can be judged, but it's also subjective subject, so we really can't ).
I know huge Em fanboys that can vouch he was only "amazing" for a short period of time, but interpret peoples music the way you want to, if his music relates to you differently to me then great, but don't try and spout that he is a better artist than Eyedea, selling your records to 13yr old white girls doesn't make you a successful rap artist.
hahaha... the "bit your whole style from bone thugs and harmony" line is a great one for gettin under dude's skin. even tho eyedea probably knows it isnt true, the other way around much likely.. but way to throw dude off his game. nice.
@HickseyGallows I think Eyedea would have won but it would have been competetive. If Em could go six rounds with Juice then I think it would be a good battle.
@impureSubstance I FUCKING LOVE YOU FOR THAT. EYEDEA IS CRAZY DOPE. THAT GUY'S A FUCKIN' LYRICAL GENIUS MAN. FUCK. HE BLOWS ME THE FUCK AWAY. EVERYTIME. HE IS UNREAL. AND NOTHING BUT.
He IS an amazing solo artist - critically, commercially, and lyrically - he outdoes Eyedea's solo career 1,000,000-fold. I think Eyedea is the best battle rapper I've ever seen and an amazing freestyler as well. He is incredibly dope at just regular rap too, but not on par with Em's technical ability at the skill of rapping.
Having extensively listened to both Eyedea and Eminem, I can say there is no way a Eyedea would butcher Em. Anyone who says Eyedea would've torn up Em is a deluded underground fanboy. Vice-versa, anyone who says Eminem would've destroyed him is a Stan. They're both too close on the same plain of rap that there's no way you would know who would've won between them.
Chiplinked I disagree. Eyedea beat Otherwize, and Otherwize beat Eminem in the Rap Olympics. Eyedea doesn’t write, unlike Eminem, and he just has more endurance. Eminem is nowhere near on the same plain as Eyedea. REYEP
how did peace even get a second chance with eyedea, it should have been over, na screw that how did he even make it to the finals? he rapped about nothing and only half of it rhymed lol
Anything Eyedea does, Eminem can do an equal or better job of. You have what I deem a pompous undeground rap listening hipster attitude. Eyedea is most likely the better freestyle battler. Anything technical or objectively judged in rap skill, goes to Eminem. Without a shadow of a doubt.
simply awesome.... eyedea's wild!!! RIP , thanks for the music!
Only if Eyedea & Eminem crossed paths against each other at a Scribble Jam. Now we can only just wonder what would've happened.

i fucking love these old scribble jam vids...rock on...
Eminem was decent for a small period of time, that's it, he isn't an amazing solo artist, amazing battle rapper or freestyler, Eyedea crushes him in every aspect of rap...
Peace shoulda saved that amazing display on the first battle for eyedea!
Dose One is the weirdest cat in the rap game ahaha
what is the 2nd beat?
I'm a huge Em fanboy who can vouch that the body of work he's created throughout his career is the most impressive display of rapping in hip-hop history. So? Nearly everybody loves Eminem dude. Not just 13 yr old white girls.
pretty nice man !! I'm still learning how to do writtens
Hahahahah Hes like free free two free free three times. WTF
From what song is the beat at 3:47?
PEACE when Eydea dropped the Bone Thugs line - "Shit"
we don't need to wonder, Eyedea would have butchered eminem, no question about that
"how does it feel to be served?" asks dose, with his pants around his ankles. rofl.
eyedea deserves the hardware, no questions asked.
That fast flow from PEACE is too nice
man, doseone is weeeeiiird. 'it's easy access now' haha. awesome. get served pretty bad though by the other dude, what's his name?
That was fucking dope as hell!
Ha! I really didn't notice until you mentioned it. Had me going back to part 1 and being more observant. I hate to make accusations, but I think you're right. lol.
P.E.A.C.E. is legend. WESTCOAST,PROJECT- BLOWED,THE GOODLIFE,THE- AFTERLIFE,FREESTYLE-FELLOWSHIP,MIKAH-9,SELF_JUPITER,ACEYALONE.....
"Let me rhyme a capella. This music makes it too hard to spit my written rhymes." - PEACE
Eyedea vs PEACE best battle ever, real masters of ceremony....master of ceremony-MC
i could watch these sick raps all day fuck everyone on here knows how to freestyle its great
LMAO, what the hell is peace trying to do at the end some ceremonial bow. HAHAHA. dope battles tho. much respect!

Dose is crazy. Eyedea is crazy good. PEACE was whack that round.
It's a lot easier to hear live or with proper recording equipment. Eyedea's lyrics are usually quite easy to understand i find.
@dedb0y He had Pre-Written Punchlines like almost everyone battling back then and now adays they write there entire verses so you can't nothing.
it's in Cincinnati now, which is good for me.
I know huge Em fanboys that can vouch he was only "amazing" for a short period of time, but interpret peoples music the way you want to, if his music relates to you differently to me then great, but don't try and spout that he is a better artist than Eyedea, selling your records to 13yr old white girls doesn't make you a successful rap artist.
You down with E.Y.E. ?
dose KILLS!
hahaha... the "bit your whole style from bone thugs and harmony" line is a great one for gettin under dude's skin.
even tho eyedea probably knows it isnt true, the other way around much likely.. but way to throw dude off his game. nice.
@HickseyGallows I think Eyedea would have won but it would have been competetive. If Em could go six rounds with Juice then I think it would be a good battle.
@impureSubstance I FUCKING LOVE YOU FOR THAT.
EYEDEA IS CRAZY DOPE. THAT GUY'S A FUCKIN' LYRICAL GENIUS MAN.
FUCK. HE BLOWS ME THE FUCK AWAY. EVERYTIME.
HE IS UNREAL.
AND NOTHING BUT.
It's Yuh Boii - That Dude
Was :(
ReyeP
do they even have Scribble anymore?!? if they do i know it aint still in cleveland,they gotta be pissed at how much graff visits them every year.
I remember watching this battle at age 12 thinking PEACE won, but now when watch it I really think eyedea should have won
@Music4u2listen2 he really killed it in 97. not so much here :(
Eyedea vs Shells
who's the rapper at 0:43 ?
10 years later... It's Doseone. Check out his album Hemispheres
peace is the dane cook of freestyle.
Who's the first white rapper?
"leave peace in pieces." eyedea smashed him so PEACE KID.
btw.. what award did peace win? hahaa
He IS an amazing solo artist - critically, commercially, and lyrically - he outdoes Eyedea's solo career 1,000,000-fold. I think Eyedea is the best battle rapper I've ever seen and an amazing freestyler as well.

@SH4DOWMOS3S I like to think eyedea would've tore em up if they crossed at scribble jam
all this talk about them doing coke would be interesting considering eyedea's first verse against peace in this vid mentions coke fucking you up
no, peace freestlyed that fast
i think i see SOLE behind dose
yeah that was harsh but its all in fun
of course eyedea wins it! he fucking pwned everyone!! haha eyedea's my fucking hero.
RIP EYEDEA

So Dose One was the first gay battle rapper?
wtf i couldent anderstand a word they said:tip for next time guys "DONT MUMBLE"
ok?
hahah eyedea smoked em. he mustve been embarrassed. you know he lost when he goes "tell em to stop the music" lol wtf was that
If you slow down what PEACE spits, it's really not that impressive. I mean, if acting overly animated counts, I guess he's got something goin.
Peace is so wack compared to Eyedea here....Peace can't even rhyme lol
how did peace even get a second chance with eyedea, it should have been over, na screw that how did he even make it to the finals?
he rapped about nothing and only half of it rhymed lol

p.e.a.c.e killed 99 scribble jamm
@dedb0y You're just wrong.
