honestly think he was one of the best natural spontaneous rhymers in hip hop history. was surely ahead of his time in his era as a freestyle MC and was a great songwriter too.shakeanjake wrote:one of the best natural freestylers ever. Rest In Peace Mikey, you will be missed.

Am I reading this thread that Thun is comparing reactions to one death with another?

Obviously this is way tragic. Dude was super talented.

I wasn't very familiar with him beyond the Blaze Battle, but it is always tough to lose a young, talented person.

^You know.....the first time I met Slug.....Eyedea was with him for a show in College Park (iCON and Edan rolled with me to that show) and they were a damn good match for each other stage. I think DJ Precise was spinning for them at the time. Regrdless, looking back on it, that was some classic shit.......

I threw a show in which Eyedea performed at in NJ back in 2002. Not many people showed up. Probably a disappointment coming from their other shows, but his spirits were high and I remember him just performing on top of a chair for the whole show because there was no stage. He didn't get off the chair once. He just stood up there and completely destroyed it. His breath control was precise and his flow impeccable. I remember after seeing that show and realizing how important it was to be on point vocally. That you didn't need distractions, that a true lyricist could captivate an audience. He did that.
I also remember talking to Mike after the show. He was very candid and honest. He spoke to me like we knew each other for a while. Like he didn't just headline a show. He gave me his number to contact him regarding Pro Tools plug ins, which I ended up not needing. Never saw him again.
That was a tour he did with Prizm who unfortunately passed too early.
As far as an Eyedea song, I always like Read Wiped in Blue.

However fake it might've been, the fact that Eyedea and Abilities both went out of their way to tell me how much they liked my music meant a lot to me. Eyedea was a great freestyler/lyricist/rapper/creative mind. Been pretty bummed all day. Poured out a PBR for the homie..
