Atmosphere (Slug) and Eyedea Live Concert at UCLA 2001 (Freestyle and Hits)
Музыка
I've had this on mini DV for 17 years. Considering the lack of great footage of Eyedea and his unfortunate passing I wanted to share this with other fans looking for more. This for me was capturing magic. I was just a fan of both Slug and Eyedea and happened to be in the right place at the right time with a video camera in hand to capture it.
I hope you enjoy.

Man…Eyedea really was a fucking genius.
People watching this today would automatically assume you recorded this on a phone, but this was almost a decade prior to smartphones which makes this video a rare gem to find. Really appreciate this, thanks for uploading!

RIP Eyedea 🫡 He was light years ahead of his time. His mind was on another level.
You are the best camera ever in 2001 look at the footage or you're a f****** time traveler that loves the underground
They both preform gods bathroom floor jesus christ that's something else.

They're both still helping me. An eyedea never dies. Wish I could have met the person behind that mask, but I thank him for his legacy. In my opinion, Eyedea was the most significant mind hip hop lost. I have not been personally affected more by someone I never actually met.

Someone who loved these guys & truly knew how talented they were booked a small afternoon concert in the commons area on the UCLA campus on this fall day in 2001. This is so special! You can totally tell that slug & eyedea were the only true professors on campus that day.
Rest in peace Mikey your legacy will never fade thank you and I'll see you when it rains
Shame on KZread for not recommending this to me sooner.
Might be my favourite performance from either of these two.

God's bathroom floor. To think that Slug wrote it yet Eyedea lived it.
This video/performance lives in my head rent free.
Great video. Classic era for both these guys. Fortunate enough to have seen Atmosphere and Eyedea but of course missed the tour they did together. Great footage, thanks for posting.
Most impressive feat is how Slug has kept the exact same facial hair for his entire adult life

I got to see him this year in tulsa. He freestyled for like 20 mins. I was 14 and my mom picked me up before the show was over. I was so bummed. Slug partied so hard back then. He was lit for the gig
To add, the performance was METICULOUSLY planned and executed... people often talk about this era of hip-hop being somehow lesser than the Golden Eras (which were great), but if you know, you know... for me, it was the greatest ever time for rap music.
Thank you, brought back memories, you captured the back of my head most of show! I remember going to Costa Mesa for their show during that tour as well as the in store performance at the Basement. Thank you!
Amazing, I miss those days... this was real hip hop back then
This is beautiful footage. what a great PA system. Thanks for sharing, ben!
this gotta be one of those videos where someone time traveled to get this amazing footage!

Wow, thanks for sharing! Such a great set. For me, God's Bathroom Floor is the gem. Seeing Slug & Eyedea with such youth and passion alone makes it, but that song grabs me. Always has, but they're in particularly good form here. I too have some older (1999 - 2002) footage from them in Santa Cruz and SF, CA, from some graffiti battles that I'd love to share, but just need to transfer the analog footage to digi.
