In 1999 I lived in a wharehouse in west oakland and EAg and I were assembling a rap group and we met eddie beats. he was a nutso dude with sick beats and a funny ass flow. We would get in fights all the time about his cord he was missing for his beat machine. he could rap sick though. he would come and stay with us in the wharehouse for a weekend but we wouldn't get anything done. It would take the whole day to just get set up. we'd end up going out or just chilling. the guy was draining but he was really brilliant. eventually he released his album with all the beats and rhymes on it that he'd been talking about for years. eag and i weren't on it though- we didn't have the patience for him. we almost beat him up a couple of times just because he was such a nutcase. he could rhyme though. he was a legit hip hop mc. he was from marin. i have no idea where he is now. our group back then was called the lyrical professors.
