Their commercially successful sophomore album E&A (released 2004) became a staple of the Twin Cities hip hop community, although following hectic touring the release of Eyedea & Abilities next album By The Throat would take several years, with Eyedea and DJ Abilities touring separately.
After a productive hiatus they returned with the critically acclaimed By The Throat (released 2009). Sonically divergent from their earlier work, By The Throat would showcase the their individual development along with the talents of Jeremy Ylvisaker, J.T. Bates & Graham O'Brien.
Eyedea (Born Micheal Larsen on November 9, 1981 – October 16, 2010) who also performed under the name Oliver Hart became widely known because of his battle and freestyle skills. The Many Faces of Oliver Hart prominently features the obliterating lyrical speed of a young Carnage the Executioner aka Terrell Woods along with Slug (of Atmosphere). Eyedea was best known for his victory at the Blaze Battle, which was aired on HBO, showing some of the best underground battlers in action. Eyedea largely toured with Slug aka Sean Daley during his early career, and would continue to collaborate with his mentor.
Numerous posthumous releases regularly appear since his passing, including Face Candy Waste-Age Teen Land and Eyenine Afraid to Dream on Crushkill Recordings, along with dedications from Kristoff Krane aka Christoffer Keller, Sadistik aka Cody Foster, No Bird Sing, Sage Francis, Brother Ali, Carnage XXXL, Murs among others. His mother Kathy Averill maintains an official dedication site www.micheallarsen.com.
DJ Abilities aka Maxx Keltgen is known for winning three DMC awards and for his work on his mixtapes and 1200 Hobos. He continues to tour, and is currently signed to Rhymesayers Entertainment.

{*"Never no super star, I'm more like a planet" - Xzibit*}
[Eyedea]
Just mail me your titles now and save the public embarrassment
You never even battled how the fuck can you arrogant
No wonder why you're screamin' to the night it seems like no one's listening
Cause you're just one tiny beam of light in this whole solar system
Didn't calculate your mass before your galaxy collapsed
Comin' harder for ya some heartless voyager
Star destroyin' soldiers killin' constellations bringin' realness back
Yeah, you motherfuckers can't apologize
On the table to the mic, you choose how you die
I never came across a rapper that I'm scared of
Cause ain't an emcee in this universe I can't tear up
I'm really iller than anybody, buddy I'll bloody your body
Your cruddy thoughts are probably as soft as silly puddy
I'm in a different dimension when rockin' a drum beat
Not even a star's gravitational pull can touch me
And that goes for you and whoever you stand in space with
Man you're wasted, light years behind the standard basics
Face it you ain't shit in this game
End your career the way it started, with a Big Bang
{*"Never no super star, I'm more like a planet" - Xzibit*}
E: "That's that new Star Destroyer cut I was tellin' you about"
C: "Dude dude, this shit is tight, dude, this, hey, this beat is dope. Yo
you gonna lemme spit some shit?"
E: "Yeah"
C: "I got some shit that would go with."
E: ".that one verse? That one I heard of right?"
C: "Yeah right here. It's this one right here."
[Carnage]
Yo, cease with the star gazin'
Here's the two baddest who bring
Media (?) break numbers of crews rabbits
Talent, we do have it
But y'all gash(?) is wide as blue masses? NO
Only you bastards whose asses exude gasses
Unstellar your true status
You faggots, get it straight
Dead is the only way you featherweights
May get chances to levitate towards heaven's gates
Stop buggin', how can the sky be the limit?
Orbitting scrotum and jock rubbin'
Crotch tuckin', strokin' they cock huggin'
Over me you got nothin'
The Cypher distances the spot rushin
Shots over hot pluggin
With us you are not fuckin
[Eyedea]
That's obvious, stay in a state of disarray
While we color the cosmos we create since they could only wish to make
[Carnage]
We're trooper soldiers
Time to catch you bitter cub scouts
To figure us out would make the sun supernova and Big Dipper rust out
[Eyedea]
Get the fuck out your fanatical state of fantasy
Ain't no accident we saturate your world with tragedy
[Carnage]
Outer space, your doom zoom
Comet's tail choka' yoga broke ya
Metaphysical footprint near your Milky Way tombstone
[Eyedea]
You've shown nothin but reason for us to destruct your feeble productions
Leader's leavin' to lead his media's crushed in
[Carnage]
Boldly go where no man has gone before
Untillable horde of syllable gorge
Born breach bearing balls bigger than body for body a bitch boys
Best ever earth that birth-bound to umbilical cords
Told we flow how planets float and morph
Bad bro intergallactic abomination comp the bass and
Monster waitin' to stomp your face in and upon confrontation
Fat so even they track flow collabo, attack mode, black hole
Chomp your statements while I'm an entire constellation
The song "Star Destroyer" by Eyedea & Abilities featuring Carnage is a powerful track about the rap game and the talent of the artists involved. The lyrics are filled with references to outer space, such as stars, galaxies, and constellations, which are used as metaphors to describe their skill and superiority over other rappers. The song opens with a quote from Xzibit, which compares the rapper to a planet rather than a superstar, setting the tone for the rest of the track. Eyedea raps about the arrogance of other rappers and their lack of skill, claiming to be able to tear up any emcee in the universe. He describes himself as being in a different dimension when rocking a drum beat and claims that not even a star's gravitational pull can touch him. The verse ends with a reference to the Big Bang, saying that they will end other rappers' careers the way they started.
Carnage's verse begins with a callout to other rappers to stop "star gazing" and pay attention to the two baddest rappers in the game. He calls out other rappers for their lack of talent and says that they are only fit for a Milky Way tombstone. Carnage continues by saying that he and Eyedea are trooper soldiers and describes their flow as "intergalactic abomination." He finishes with a threat, saying that they will stomp other rappers' faces in and turn their statements into chum.
Overall, "Star Destroyer" is a metaphorical and aggressive track that showcases the talents of Eyedea and Abilities, as well as Carnage.
Line by Line Meaning
Just mail me your titles now and save the public embarrassment
Send me your credentials so I can judge how to humiliate you in front of everyone
You never even battled how the fuck can you arrogant
You've never competed, so how can you be so full of yourself?
No wonder why you're screamin' to the night it seems like no one's listening
Your insignificant existence is drowned out in the vastness of the universe
Cause you're just one tiny beam of light in this whole solar system
You're just a small speck in the grand scheme of things
Your creation is a fallacy to rap
Your music is a falsehood and not true to the art of hip hop
Didn't calculate your mass before your galaxy collapsed
You didn't measure your worth before it was too late and you fell from grace
Comin' harder for ya some heartless voyager
I'm coming at you with more force than a ruthless space explorer
Star destroyin' soldiers killin' constellations bringin' realness back
We're destroying fake rappers and bringing authenticity back to the game
Yeah, you motherfuckers can't apologize
You can't make amends for how terrible you are
On the table to the mic, you choose how you die
You can choose to be publicly humiliated on the mic or to never step up at all
I never came across a rapper that I'm scared of
I have yet to meet a rapper who intimidates me
Cause ain't an emcee in this universe I can't tear up
I can outperform any rapper in existence
I'm really iller than anybody, buddy I'll bloody your body
I'm better than everyone and I'll thoroughly defeat you
Your cruddy thoughts are probably as soft as silly puddy
Your weak ideas are as malleable as silly putty
I'm in a different dimension when rockin' a drum beat
I transcend the ordinary when performing with a drummer
Not even a star's gravitational pull can touch me
I'm at my own level and nothing can bring me down
And that goes for you and whoever you stand in space with
I'm superior to anyone you associate with
Man you're wasted, light years behind the standard basics
You're hopeless and far from even the minimum standards
Face it you ain't shit in this game
You're worthless and insignificant as a rapper
End your career the way it started, with a Big Bang
Your career will go out in a blaze of embarrassment, just as it began
Yo, cease with the star gazin'
Stop staring up at the sky in awe
Here's the two baddest who bring
Here are the two best rappers around
Talent, we do have it
We're both incredibly talented
But y'all gash(?) is wide as blue masses? NO
But your hype and ego is unwarranted
Only you bastards whose asses exude gasses
Only you untalented rappers who emit garbage
Unstellar your true status
You're of no significance in the rap world
You faggots, get it straight
You terrible rappers, understand this
Dead is the only way you featherweights
Death is the only way you'll be relevant in the rap game
May get chances to levitate towards heaven's gates
You may have a slim chance of redeeming your soul after death
Stop buggin', how can the sky be the limit?
Quit being ridiculous, how can there be a limit to what we can achieve?
Orbitting scrotum and jock rubbin'
You're obsessed with your own genitalia
Crotch tuckin', strokin' they cock huggin'
You're uncomfortable with your own sexuality
Over me you got nothin'
You have no chance of competing against me
The Cypher distances the spot rushin'
I'm at the top of the rap scene, and you're not even close
Shots over hot pluggin'
My rhymes are superior and on fire
With us you are not fuckin
You're no match for us as rappers
That's obvious, stay in a state of disarray
It's clear, you're confused and unorganized
While we color the cosmos we create since they could only wish to make
We're creating a vibrant universe of music that others can only dream of making
We're trooper soldiers
We're warriors and dedicated to our craft
Time to catch you bitter cub scouts
We're here to defeat those who are inexperienced and unprepared
To figure us out would make the sun supernova and Big Dipper rust out
If anyone could understand our greatness, the universe as we know it would collapse
Get the fuck out your fanatical state of fantasy
Stop living in a dream world of your own making
Ain't no accident we saturate your world with tragedy
We're intentionally bringing darkness to the rap game and exposing the truth
Outer space, your doom zoom
We're bringing doom to the rap game from another world
Comet's tail choka' yoga broke ya
Our rhymes are so powerful, they'll break you
Metaphysical footprint near your Milky Way tombstone
Our influence will be felt long after we're gone
You've shown nothin but reason for us to destruct your feeble productions
Your weak music gives us ample motivation to tear it down
Leader's leavin' to lead his media's crushed in
I'm crushing my competition and leaving them behind
Boldly go where no man has gone before
We're blazing a trail and going where no one has gone before
Untillable horde of syllable gorge
Our rhymes are unstoppable and immense
Born breach bearing balls bigger than body for body a bitch boys
We were born to dominate and show our superiority over all others
Best ever earth that birth-bound to umbilical cords
We're the best rappers ever and tied to the rap game from birth
Told we flow how planets float and morph
We flow in a way that's as powerful and unstoppable as celestial objects
Bad bro intergallactic abomination comp the bass and
Our rap skills are monstrous and out-of-this-world, dominating the beat
Monster waitin' to stomp your face in and upon confrontation
We're waiting to destroy anyone who tries to face us
Fat so even they track flow collabo, attack mode, black hole
Our rhymes are so heavy, slowing time itself and draining all other nearby energy
Chomp your statements while I'm an entire constellation
We'll destroy your rhymes with ease and our influence is felt throughout the entire rap world

P S
this dude exudes more aggression than any other rapper ever, just because of the lyrical GENIUS and his menacing ass voice
CanadensisKrew
This will always be one of my favorite eyedea songs. Every element makes this song what it is. Fierce lyricism, Carnage, Abilities insane cutting and the energy of the whole song. Always gets me fired up.
