Michael Larsen was born to stand in front of us. He was one of the blessed few, whose thoughts transcended the barrier between what we think we know; and the eternal possibilities that surround each step we take. He shared a sacred bond with Saturn, as do others who share these traits. Humility is not given a thought because pride means something so different to them. To him. I'd like to think as I write these words, and comprehend his actions;I too am afflicted with this terrible responsibility
@MRcrashaddict Agreed. No matter how much Sage Francis, Slug, or Astronautalis I listen to, nothing compares to the emotional depth of Eyedea's music.
it really makes me so sad when i ilsten to eyedea. He was a truely talent human being. Feels like a part of me dies everytime i listen to him. or anythig he's featuring in. even stuff he's featuring in he kills his verse he's usually the best one in the song, for me atleast.
sadly, i never had a chance to see him in concert or ever meet him, but yet he feels like hes my best friend. i'm glad I was able to go to the memorial in oct in 2011. R.EYE.P
nobody could write the lines Eyedea wrote, its just incredible. the fact that so many listened to his music, but it all felt so personal like he wrote them words for you.
i wish i could have seen him live. Rest In Peace Mikey a true inspiration
@Taima How about you try not talking about shit you know nothing about? Yes, drugs were involved. No, he didn't OD. Educate yourself and stop spreading that stupid rumor. Eyedea was a great musician and an even better person.
empathy is the poor mans cocaine, love is just a chemical by any other name, i like the way your pheromones make me sleepy, this far away i still smell you inside me.
this chorus is absolutely fucking amazing. this is the best it gets.
the guy chilling with the beard is the cultivation of the mood why the musician dies just writing . ide know im a writer myself trying to describe something look at him persistant so real and you cant knock him for it just sitting there
Man I miss Eyedea, such a talent. His death happened right around the time I decided to start making my own music. He was a big influence on me. I just released my first ep. I'd love it if you guys would check out my channel and told me what you thought. Thanks everyone, take care!
Had the pleasuer of meeting eyedea at soundset 2010 chillest guy ever got him to sign my shirt too when i heard he was dead i thought it was a joke and hit my brother then saws it was true and went blank he will be missed R.EYE.P
I'm assuming mikkey performed "By the throat" at this event too. Would be cool if you guys can upload that, i would love to see him perform it live, unless it is and im just missing it ...
did you guys see abilities at 2:26? he took the vinyl off the turntable, was going to switch it with another one but put it back on and realized he had traktor or something and changed it on his laptop. haha, thats a true dj right there...
@mazzgie wow i never analized those lyrics till just now...pretty sure hes talking about shooting up in between his toes to hide the trackmarks. i cant believe he's gone. r.i.p. eyedea
i feel like a creep basically all i've done since october 17 was work and come home and watch videos of eyedea. i'm so sad i never got to see him live it's depressing me.
i really want to find a video performance of "by the throat"
it happens faster than you can ever think, from always and forever to never again in less than a blink. rest in peace
i wish i could find a video of the song by the throat live. that's probably my favorite song off the album. and now that he's gone i'll never get a chance to really see it.
I met him in Colorado when he played at the Famous Red Rocks Amphitheater. I was so grateful to have met him and not only been at the right place at the right time with over 10,000 people next to you, but see him play live in front of more people then ever thought of by underground Hip-hop artists. Unfortunate to have missed him in my hometown of Austin, TX where he played for a much smaller crowd.
to Sdethrow: Who cares why people listen to his music. Love hiphop! Let other find what they love
I have a signed When in rome kill the king and Freestyle Jams got it when he did a free show at the walker art center in his home town MN, RIP you will be missed
@sdethrow10 better now then never. That's usually how it goes with musicians tho.. Usually its death that solidifies them as legends. I'm jus stoked he/his music is finally getting the attention and respect he/it deserves.
This is one of the greatest live performances... I wish I could have been there for real. R.I.P. Eyedea. You will be missed for sure. One of the best ever.
RIP Michael Larsen aka (eyedea).....hes one of the reasons why i got into hip hop....from watching his battles to bumpin his music he is a great lost to hip hop....
cant believe he died so young! n is that dude in the background a painter cos if so i would love to see his work!! n its an epic idea to have some1 paint your performance
like slug said, the only guarantee in life is a life worth dying for, cause death don't wait for no one, sitting on your front door... rhymesayers will NEVER be the same, and neither will hip hop. rip mike..
@symbal777 because it rings true... because rhymesayers are family... because slug and eyedea were best friends... because the two are two of the greatest lyricists in hip hop today... need i say more? fool.
