  • 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

  • No one will ever top this man.

  • Whats with the jolly mother fucker with the beard and long hair in the background not giving a fuck.

  • abilities fingersfucks the shit out of those turntables!!!

    

  • Where can I see the rest of this performance?

  • He ruined rap for me....nobody comes anywhere near the depth and relatability of this one of a kind

  • @MRcrashaddict Agreed. No matter how much Sage Francis, Slug, or Astronautalis I listen to, nothing compares to the emotional depth of Eyedea's music.

  • Rather drown than ask for help?

    i wish he'd done the latter

  • RIP <3

  • 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

    EYEDEAS NEVER DIE

  • 0:00 - the end.. pure eyedeaness.. all heart. this will always remain as one of my favourite live performances

  • One Of the greatest rappers to ever live. I wish I had been at this show!

  • They are the greatest thing to happen to hip-hop. Lyrically and musically they changed it. I'm so pissed I'll never get to see them :(

  • Perfect numb 13 billion year in the making

  • shit, this is soooo good.

  • Find my comfort, inside blame

    Shove my pride back, down my face

    My worst habit's waking up at least once a day

    Balance barefoot on a needle heaven's just a jump away

  • He was good, but died of an overdose like so many other idiotic musicians. An intelligent asshole I suppose.

  • @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.

  • @MattBomkamp i see what you're trying to say & i totally agree, but it was from an overdose... apperently it was a prescriptioned drug though...

  • A bright EYEDEA never dies! I can't believe it has been a year. RIP Mike Larsen

  • this song and his song glass in HD ----->

    so much emotion in them..

  • "eyes wide shut, I promise not to fall awake"

    Favorite line from any song ever.

  • This man is deeper than I could ever dig.

    It's a damn shame he had to leave so early.

    Your music will forever have a place at the top of my collection, Mike.

    Eyedea is amazing

    R.EYE.P.

  • Empathy is the poor man's cocaine

    Some call it talent, others call it passion.

    Either way he will be missed. R Eye P

  • May Eyedea, the best rapper ever, rest in peace.

  • i miss eyedea

  • 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

  • Eyedea is one of a kind. Wierd. Different. An outsider. A GENIUS AND A LEGEND!

    His lyrics changed me when I was a teenager and influenced me as a young adult and is still pushing me to strive for my passions.

    Eyedea is a lyrical God! RIP - First Born

  • 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

  • Such passion. Sends chills down my spine every time I watch it.

    Rest In Peace Mikey.

  • fuck yeah, i love it

  • it seems like Jameson is the drink of choice for most Rhymesayers artists

  • RIP

  • REST IN PARADISE

  • its too bad hip hop kids are now listening to him cause he passed, the closest thing to this guy is cage and cage aint got shit on EYEDEA. R.I.P

  • @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.

  • RIP

  • Rest in beats Mikey. Peace out.

  • rhyme in peace
