Slept on Rappers

"Micheal Larsen, known by his stage name Eyedea, was a well-known freestyle battle champion and underground rapper. His notable wins included the televised Blaze Battle sponsored by HBO (2000) and a victory at Scribble Jam (1999). He had appeared as a solo artist, and as the emcee half of the duo Eyedea & Abilities (along with longtime friend and collaborator DJ Abilities). His non-battle rhymes were generally philosophically or thematically based, and often told a definite narrative."

Eyedea was a dope rapper and freestyler, you may have heard of his death in the news recently, which they still haven't found a cause, but the man in my humble opinion was one of the most original and prominent backpack-styled artists of our age. His abilities to freestyle off the dome were absolutely ridiculous, take Supernatural's lyrical ability and slap it on an average looking white guy and thats what you have. Eyedea was signed to Rhymesayers Entertainment by Slug and that's when he began to tour across the nation, doing radio shows and just murdering beats. We're all going to miss you Eyedea, Rest In Peace.
