Ok so Eyedea is one of the greatest rappers of our time

How can he be as good as you claim if he isn't even famous?

I know you're kidding but he did everything he did to stop himself from being famous. He even released an album under a pseudonym because he was getting too much hype at the time.

When he won Blaze battles he was offered a deal by P.Diddy. He declined.

Yeah, because a deal makes you famous.

Declining a deal certainly shows he wasn't trying to be famous.

Finally getting around to listening to First Born. I've had it for a while, but never bothered. I've taken my time with BTT. I love Liquid Sovereignty and The Dive. The DJ Abilities Interlude is crazy too. I can't believe Eyedea wrote this at 16. Crazy.

Liquid Sovereignty is probably my least favorite Eyedea track of all time

When you're the biggest name in battle rap at the time, and already have stage time and an album out, with somebody willing to put millions of dollars into your career, that's exactly what it means...


Sounds like somebody else who became the biggest selling artist in hip hop......

MGK already had 4 mixtapes out and a fanbase when he signed to Diddy's label yet he's far from famous.
There are literally thousands of artists who are talented and get deals that never blow up.

Not really, Drake declined deals before he found the right one.

But was he the biggest name in battle rap and have the same momentum that eyedea did?

But Eyedea never found the right one because he never wanted one. Are you honestly trying to argue that he did want to be famous? lmao

[SliK]

No, just having fun

Fuck you boi

His delivery on "First Born" is fantastic. Some times I feel it's equally poised with BTT. But, then again, both are different Albums made at different times of his career.

Fuck....

I though he was trying to imply he wouldn't have been famous even if he wanted to.

[SliK]

Bingo lol
