Eyedea is awesome. I'm from Saint Paul, he went to Highland Park for high school and so did a couple of my best friends. Dude was a legend. He had a lot of pain to rap about, and it eventually took his life. Was at a few parties with him back in the day since we were the same age and my friends all graduated with him. Love his stuff though, and love anything Slug. Rhyme Sayers are the hometown heroes around here. Slug is easily my favorite MC. Awesome freestyle of them. Here's another Eyedea and Slug colab - Stick Up
Just general bullshitting mostly. I saw him once shortly after his HBO Blaze Battle that he won. Said it was awesome and totally dug his performance, he said "Nah, I'm not that good, those other guys were just that bad." He was a pretty modest and down to Earth guy, and was quick to change the subject and ask who you were and what you did and where you lived and stuff. I got the feeling he really didn't like talking about himself or his fame.
