You said nobody in FF has ever lost a freestyle, when in fact one of their members did and to Eyedea at that. I'd say Scribblejam is a pretty official way to determine who the winner is.
Not only did he beat him, he won the whole festival that year.
I mainly made this thread to find new material to listen to though so it's all good.

I'm partial to Jay Electronica, he is still living though, so we can debate who's better when or if he dies

alright, yeah, i don't need to say it, because it won't fly anyways but... white boy inflection sucks, and namedropping other MC's songs and other hiphop groups that came before you and making comparisons, and using them as insults is... WEAK.
not that he was bad or anything. quite the opposite, just... those are what i see as flaws. he's always using the same inflection, like how many times can he say CHER CHER like a million times.
but hey, that's just my opinion.

Watkin Tudor Jones is a better emcee than Eyedea.
Know about it.

Black Thoughts and Constructus Corportation are both up there. As for the rest, not even close.
Really diggin' CC's trip hop sound though. Ninja is one crazy dude.

comparing rappers is like comparing apples and oranges. they're all different and talented. if you can't see Holy Intellect. see it again.

That's why I said music is subjective. And when I said prove me wrong I actually meant it, I'd like to hear someone better but I'll admit there have been some good attempts so far. Not hating on anyone.

dude, do you like it at all? i mean, if you think PRT just plain sucks, then i'd say you're crazy.
personally, i don't care anymore about proving that someone is better then Eyedea, clearly, this won't happen. so i'm just posting classic rap, to sort test the waters. to prove you wrong, so to speak, but not about what you want. (a better rapper then your apparent favorite rapper) this is just simply never going to work. hell, i gotta just be sure that you can even be listening to anything without trying to compare it to an idea in your head, that Eyedea is the best rapper. imagine that.
seriously, you don't like PRT? they have fast complex rhymes, that actually rhyme, have inflection, and are intelligent. in fact, i don't know how much more intellectual rap can get, so... i dunno, what's NOT to like? their image? the time in which they made their music? their skin color? the fact that don't correspond with an idea that rappers are at their best when they are like so and so?
i don't know waht it could be, but it certainly seems kinda facetious.

Yes, I listen to a lot of old school rap like Big L, The Pharcyde, Tribe, etc. Where did I say I didn't like that artist?
I can admit a rapper is more talented even if I like another one more. Just like I can tell you my favorite movie and admit that it's not the best movie ever made.

just trying to figure out why you think Eyedea is some kinda of meter stick for rap greatness? i would rather just talk shit about the music, not compare. but hey, it's your thread. i am kinda shocked that you haven't made a couple of these suggestions a sorta "winner" or at least made some mention of what was posted being "as good as" or "better then..." in whatever way... it's like you aren't even giving anyone a chance, really. 
i mean, you might just really think Eyedea is at the height of genius in rap. that's your prerogative, man.
