  • 1:47 is sadly all too poignant

  • I wanna know what he is on and where I can get some

  • above reality

  • r.eye.p, most interesting man in the world.

  • Rest in Peace brother

  • He's no longer a lyricist. He's a philosopher.

  • WHY DID THIS GENIUS DIED FROM OPIATES!!

  • does he use mushrooms?

  • Comment removed

  • what was the philosopher eyedea talked about? christian what?

  • @jnbalmer448 krishnamurti. look him up.

  • @jnbalmer448 Jiddu Krishnamurti

  • wow this is insanely intelligent and awesome. 

  • Eyedea is the only artists who gets questions this awsome, id love to see a mainstream artists response to one of theese questions hahaha

  • did anyone else have the Burn Fetish lyrics go through their head as they watched this

  • at a loss for words

  • this shit wont buffer but all american rejects buffers in nine nanoseconds?

  • HOW can you not believe in energy??????

  • Eyedea was dangerously reasonable.

  • Does anyone know where I can find this "Christian Amerdy"? (is that even how you spell his last name?) I know he's mentioned in "Soundtrack of A Romance".

  • @theycallmechili I just found it, it's Krishnamurti, Jiddu Krishnamurti.

  • @theycallmechili

    I've only recently discovered Krishnamurti. I was, for a long period of time, under the impression that on 'Soundtrack of A Romance' Eyedea said Christian Amerdy, due to several faulty lyrics pages :(

  • @HeresASeatHD haha, I also bought the book "awakening of intelligence" since ti was the first one he read

  • @cry12344 appreciate the support fam.

  • Wow. An Equal!

  • Im mad all that shit he said in the first 2 minuits are alan watts' exact philosophy and he didnt even aknowledge it -.- but alan watts is awsome, so is eyedea....

  • eyedea interviewed on his back better than any other artist on their two feet...

  • I beleive there's never a place better better then right where you are

    although imagining an afterlife can tend to mend a broken heart over someone dead

    it's a way of coping with loss

    but i dont need you out there if i have you in my thoughts

  • Eyedea and Canibus my Fav. underground Rappers/Emcees of all time, R.I.P eyedea, your in a better place now!!!

  • @casper956illest me too!

  • this is why eyedea is my favorite mc dude...

    its like everything that goes on in my mind... everything i believe in.. all put into words

  • @thehanz123 i feel it.

  • so isnt this whole two part interview him talking about how he fakedhis death? he left a game that he was born into but in the end decided it wasnt for him....regaurdless i think he is saying he faked his death in these two interwiews, and i still dont think he is dead. if thats the case much respect r.i.p. but i dont believe it

  • what it says Eyedea on 2:40

  • @DexyzLozada he says 'too much of a language, too much of a belief system for me'

  • "You're not eating the food, you're just reading the menu" didnt he use that line, or something like it in one of his songs?

  • @Guitars0fWar yes, the lyric is "we don't know the meal, we only know the menu which our brain tells us is real"... I can't remember off the top of my head what the name of the song is though

  • @jesserawls1991 Powdered Water pt.1

  • @jesserawls1991 Its from bonus track 1 i think of by the throat.

  • @BrandinDennin No, it's on First Born. I have the cd, some dude replied back to me and told me the song is called "Powdered water pt. 1"

  • It really sucks that it's possible to be in love with someone who's dead.

  • @AlinaOrbidan god damn necrophiliack lol. nah im joking i love his identity too

  • @MAZEY22 It's not the identity so much as the mind. There will never be another like it.

  • eyedea blows my mind, i wish i could have met him and chat with him

  • I thought he was wearing a hood at first hahaha

  • where is this art from

    ???

  • word

    

  • i'm most comfortable just not being comfortable- god, he was awesome

  • @Wtfnotavailable maybe he's done things a few times but who hasn't? but think whatever you want if it helps you sleep at night dude

  • Eyedea is best in the whole world will never find a building, a

    style, a person, a role model beyond the drugs. Maybe a

    little acid but much freestyle was his way out of this reality

    conscious and shitty!

    Eyedea is alive, in his lyrics in our ears bitches!

    From Chile !

  • he didn't believe in an afterlife, but I still hold up, cause I wan't to meet this guys when I'm gone :')

  • whats the song they played at the end of the interview?

  • @MclarenMan7 "Junk"

  • everyone, stop bitching about if he had a drug problem or did acid or shrooms. no one knows if he did or not so don't put out false information. that was his life to worry about, not ours. let it go, damn. i'm sure he wouldn't want people arguing if he did drugs or not. R.I.P Eyedea

  • @aiden7156 He says he's willing to do shrooms with the interviewer in the second part of the interview. When he was found dead, the autopsy showed opiates in his system. He even says he sold shrooms to his old boss. And how is two comments about his drug use 'bitching'? What a stupid comment.

  • when the dude interviewing him asks what he spends the money he makes from touring on, and he says, "*haha,thats a secret".hes talking about heroin, im pretty sure he was high during this interview. i was getting shit in st. paul the same time he was when he died, and it was the purest heroin in the united states at the time(not sure if it still is).his official cause of death was unspecified opiate toxicity.fuckin shame he had 2 go out like that with so much good music still left to make...

  • "Rather than ordering food you are eating the menu."

    Even when he is insanely intoxicated he comes up with great metaphors.

  • he's my favorite postmathcoregrungehop artist:))

  • @kapr3cious shut the fuck up

  • @cmichaelaudet

    Grouping people by invisible borders on land masses is idiotic. I don't care if all eyedea fans hate me. What the fuck did high school teachers teach you? That wet willy idea is funny.

    @MCsmallsworld

    Also, I can't take you seriously if you favorited BOB, Kanye West, and Eminem. If you want to talk about freeing your mind from bullshit stop listening to that garbage. I would suggest Invincible or Pharoahe Monch. They have some forward thinking songs.

  • @MCsmallsworld

    Accepting.

    @DrShakesBALLIN

    I own by the throat, and E&A. I thought they were decent but I never picked apart his lyrics like I do other rappers.

  • wow nickolas...you have quite possibly made all of minnesota hate you...did you listen to him...no no no you probably listened to your high school teachers. man if i was sitting next to you I would give you a wet willy...on fire

  • God damnit. After watching a few eyedea interviews I've concluded he's a fucking lunatic. Not like oh, he's an artist off in his own world sort of lunatic like daniel johnston. No, the kind of bat shit fucker who did a ton of drugs and thought that it "freed his mind" so now he's blowing yours with all his bullshit ideas. I'm deleting all his music off my hard drive.

  • @nickolaswarner why do his opinions in interviews affect whether or not his music is enjoyable?

  • @nickolaswarner

    Have you ever listened to his albums? I think you would of figured out by now he is kind of a lunatic, but a very uplifting free thinking one. So yeah.

  • I wish eyedea was over at my house right now so I could bullshit with him about philosophical subjects. plus that dude interviewed on his back better than any other artist on their two feet.

  • His philosophy is such bullshit, I love his music, but he has no idea what he is talking about 

  • @kapr3cious It's not bullshit. Just because you don't understand it or because it's different from what you and everyone around thinks doesn't make it bullshit. You shouldn't dismiss shit quickly because it's 'weird' or you can't grasp it.

  • @somedouchebagonline douchebag, I study philosophy in college. So, therefore I don't "dismiss shit" that I don't understand. I try to understanding them. I love Eyedea's music, but his "philosophy" is all his drugs talking. 

  • @kapr3cious I don't think all his philosophy is drug taking. I think he gets a lot of it by reading, like Krishnamurti.

  • @kapr3cious if you knew anything about eyedea you would know he wasnt a person that took drugs. besides the ones he took for his sleeping disorder.

  • @Crayo99999 if you listened to this video, you would know that he says that he has had a drug problem, wow!

  • @Crayo99999 Haha are you serious? He says in this interview he sold shrooms and if you listen to his music you'd know he did a shit ton of acid.

  • @jerrrrrrrrrrrr that does make sense actually. i can see it. but at the same time i read an interview with his mom and she stated he wasnt much for drugs. maybe it was later in his life. my bad. haha.

  • @Crayo99999 I read somewhere he did acid for the first time when he was 13, but who really knows its all just hear say

  • @kapr3cious your an idiot. you cant spell right. anyone can indulge in philosophical ideas.

  • @aron4251 *you're :) 

  • @kapr3cious maybe if you took drugs you wouldn't be such an ego tripping douchebag. I'm pretty sure you don't really understand anything eyedea was saying in his music.

  • @jerrrrrrrrrrrr people love to have arguments via youtube comments

  • @kapr3cious such a late reply, but how can you judge like this? They are very reasonable arguments - no one knows the truth, but why should we not each be able to think for ourselves?

  • i would have loved to have had a conversation with eyedea. well when i say conversation is i mean eyedea talking and me just being amazed by his mind and the way he thinks.

  • 2:46

    Anyone know the name?

  • @iPutYouUpForAdoption Krishnamurti

  • george carlin and eyedea pretty much make up my beliefs, too bad they both arent with us anymore

  • R EYE P Eyedea.

  • How can he feel like an outsider in hip-hop?! From what I've seen, he brought people more together!

  • Love other dudes *mindblown* face around 0:45

  • great interview!

  • does anyone else think that hip hop is the perfect background music for theoretical physics.

  • @TheHBakes hip hop is the perfect background for EVERYTHING lol

  • @TheHBakes Have you ever heard of Tool? I'm not trying to be a douche or anything, you might like their lyrics too.

  • how did he die?

  • @silentpounce opiate toxicity 

  • @silentpounce He died living

  • r.eye.p....

  • I wish this interview was 2 hours long

  • @Midnight7Marauder Buy 'Hip Hop Beloew Zero" dude, $20 and is totally worth it (tons of eyedea footage).

  • What's the song at 5:15 ?

  • @18bulldog18

    "Junk" -Eyedea & Abilities, "By The Throat" 2009

  • @deadpeasantmoon Thanks for the reply.

  • I can't even watch this without tearing up. It's almost painful to watch all the way through.. r EYE p Mike!

  • who disliked?

  • I have always loved Post Mathcore Grunge Hop. Haha. Rhyme In Peace eyedea.

  • "that's a secret" :\ rest in peace

  • a great man

  • Whats the song playing?

    

  • @MOXWELLDIAMOND Burn Fetish

  • Fall took my friend away.

  • this is a sick interview

  • Deep. RIP eyedea. Legendary.

  • I hate the fact that I think he knew he was going :( eyedea u were a perfect teacher

  • The death conversation here...a little erie.

  • @blindelement45 Wanna talk about eerie? Eyedea spit a line on his last cd and it went like this " Maybe I'll meet an angel in bed that will help wrestle the devil right out of my head.." And he died in his sleep in bed. Rest in Peace. I hope his loved ones are healing and coping. His physical shell might be gone, but we can only hope his soul is in peace. He will most definitely live on with his god damn intelligent words and his epic ass freestyle battles.

  • Post mathcore grungehop. hahaha

  • @xdedicationxslcx

    Sounds ridiculous but it describes his style well. lol

  • wow/ best interview ever/ this is a real connection/ get to know the artist/ lye on the grass with him/ open conversation/ he got a lot out of eyedea that i didn't know myself/

  • $30. haha wonder what he's gonna buy

  • Really an interesting dude. I love the way he answers questions. Definitely on another level. Very sad he passed on so soon.

  • Genius! 

  • BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY RIP EYEDEA HE WAS SO DOPE HE MADE WHITE EMCEES ACCEPTABLE NOT EMINEM

    HE WAS A GENIUS WITH HIS MUSIC AND EVEN DEATH CANT TAKE THAT AWAY FROM HIM

  • RIP EYEDEA BUT HE IS WRONG .... IF YOU CANT IMAGE THE WORLD WITH YOU DEAD CAUSE U WERENT THIER TO EXPERIENCE IT PRETTY MUCH WHAT HES SAYIN THEN YOU CANT IMAGINE ANY THING AT ALL LIKE WINNING THE LOTTERY OR A FAMILY MEMBER THATS DIED (THE ONES THAT ARE ALIVE)

  • R.I.P Tru;y inspirational character.

  • could someone please post the name of the philosopher eyedea was talking about. sounds like a very interesting person. I tried to google his name but i guess im not spelling it right. R.I.P. Michael Larsen.

  • @justicewalking Jiddu Krishnamurti

  • R.I.P. Eyedea.

    You will be missed.

  • man, the music in the background is so fitting.

  • R.I.P. truly a genious

  • "but hey, if it keeps somebody from sticking needles in their arm, well that's fine, you know." that's pretty funny.

    RIP eyedea. you will be missed.

  • RIP EYEDEA

  • The guy on the right just wanted to lay down cuz he has some fancy beads on his hat haha.

  • soooooooooooo sick

  • post mathcore grundge hop lmao

  • I like how they throw David Icke into this! Yeah!

  • I love Eyedea's music now because digs Krishmanurti..i love that man!

  • such good talent at free styling gone to waste now

  • Personally SPEAKING,eyedea was and always will be a genious,knowledgeable,highly intelligent,one of a kind human being...It's a blessing to know that over all the years,i can say,yep that's my friend,and on that note,to all that hate on someone,you only hate,why you ask cause you don't know how to apply your self and truely seek inside yourself,cause one day when you get that chance to open a door to success,it may contain NOTHING... PEACE DANNY...

  • @morales1949 Eyedea freed my mind. Saved my life.

  • dudes its krishnamurti, he's the philosopher, he's the man that heavily influenced eyedea ...KRISHNAMURTI

  • @resinballs345

    i loooooooove krishnamurti

  • hey now, not everyone turns to spiritualism because they want to be immortal.. defense mechanism or not. physical does indeed decay, but the physical is just a defined form of energy (god, all-that-is). All that is cannot be created or destroyed, only converted from one form to another. But like he said, trying to describe life is like reading the menu and not actually eating the food. Experience, don't talk about it.

  • haha they took tha shrooms

  • i love u mikey love love love thank u 4 being yer self love

  • Does anyone know the list of the artwork that is used in this video? Or atleast could name authors of those few things, they look really cool.. By the way, that guy Christian Amerdy, where could I find more information about him?.. I have only heard about him from Eyedea's interviews, and google dosen't come up with more further anwser than one of eyedea's song lyrics

  • i can't even imagine being able to comprehend everything hes saying...eyedeas either insane or a genius, but either way hes a brilliant songwriter

  • both

  • models

    metaphors

    models

    metaphors

    Listen to Eyedea's song "Powdered Water Part Too (Part 1)" if you like this video. He talks about the menu thing.

  • Just saw Eyedea & Abilities last night at the Echoplex. They haven't skipped a beat. They don't get the love they deserve...

  • Oh shit Eyedea discovered LSD.

  • I've been a fan of Eyedea for many, many years. And I've been a fan of David Icke for many, many years. When I clicked on this video, and they immediately started talking about David Icke, I knew there was a reason I've been a fan of both for so long.

  • David Icke is an idiot. So is the guy interviewing him. David Icke also believes reptilian aliens control the world.

  • and Ike believes his son of god

  • because your a moron Ike a friggin sport reporter back i ndays lol till he took some shrooms and thought he was jesus then comes the rest go and read some real stuff i forgot retards like u couldn't understand real philosophers works

  • do0d hes just weird okay...

  • No. Smart.

    Read David Icke sometime.

  • Time is a measure/process of the entropy of the Universe increasing. Someone who does not have proper knowledge of it shouldn't try to explain it.

  • i believe this guy^^^^ and eyedea put together

  • there can be no objective time though eg. if another galaxy is past the point of entropy and is declining would its time begin to flow backwards?

  • @naffunnel

    how would you know what side of time is going in the right direction to differ from clockwise or counterclockwise if there were no time?

  • @head133 There really is no time, it's a model designed or us to understand and cope with our reality and mark events.

  • hes pretty smart
