Eyedea: Fridge Update

I just watched the youtube video of the battle again and it TOTALLY does sound like he says FRIDGE instead of FISH.....

its at like 1:07 of the previously posted youtube link.

FRIDGE or FISH, you be the judge.

seems like fish, but sounds like fridge....
i think he MEANT to say fish....... or maybe PEACE is just so badass that he tosses MCs like household consumer appliances....?

Eyedea and Abilities

Just got home from the E&A show at the launchpad.

After the show a few people were freestyling in the front on Central, so Matt Amos and I got in on the cypher(sp?). Eventually I had the closest thing to a battle ive been in, on route 66.... with a dude named "NASSAR, THE PAKISTANI PRINCE". I remember a few rhymes... I told him I rode his girl like a magic carpet and that I was a Sultan and he was Insultin', dumb shit like that, anyways, he was a fun dude to rhyme with.

later....

Matt was very close to getting in some terrible fight, but we somehow prevented it... however, if he never started getting in the fight, I would have left and not ending up MEETING EYEDEA in the Launchpad parking lot an hour later. I took some terrible phone pictures of Eyedea and our friends... at least I look terrible in them, my head looks like a large plum or something outrageous.....ok, ok,

The IMPORTANT thing is that I asked him something that I always wanted an answer to...

-----> [ in the 1999 scribble jam battle against 'P.E.A.C.E', PEACE said something like "something something fish cos you straight getting tossed" at the end of one of his turns... but Eyedea came back with "something something throwing a frigerator, that shit dont even make sense!"....]

1999 battle right here:


So I brought up this conundrum to the man himself who told me More than what I wanted to hear, nicely, but matter of factly......

"DO YOU KNOW HOW OLD I AM?........... IM 26.... I WAS A TEENAGER BACK THEN......... I CANT REMEMBER THAT ALL THAT MAN"
