Eyedea and Abilities - Big Shots

[MBP6705]

My high school class is pretty nice. We have insanely hot girls, but they don't intentionally screw guys over, there are preps and jocks, but they are more modest and don't ignore everyone who they consider below them, and we don't really have rappers. I would be if I were creative and clever enough to write lyrics. I'm one of those kids in my class who just kind of exist.

[Wren188]

@MBP6705 do you go to a school, or are you just in an insane institution?

[noentrie]

He's preachin he's L-I-V-E but he's only that word backwards E-V-I-L

[mghillsburg]

anyone know where i can get the instumental/ tabs for this?

[superMrstylo]

I always used to skip this song whenever I played THPS 4

[GodzPlayaz24]

This sing is PIMPIN!!!!!

[steezbird]

enough about tony hawk pro skater, although that game was DOPE!!! but lets give props to Eyedea & Abilities, RIP Eyedea

[Blasphmr09]

ahhhhhh good ol eyedea and abilities memories

[tmcgough100]

wow, i remember this from tony hawk, got into good music after that and didnt realize it was on there till just now

[agentcody1231]

i found this song from tony hawk..and i like it!

[Bisharoeli]

@agentcody1231 same here, this song is classic

[IsUrMomHom3]

Who died? and how?

[LeviticusDoom]

@IsUrMomHom3 eyedea died from mixing alcohol and sleeping pills (and sleeping face down in a form fitting mattress) NOT AN OVERDOSE.

Simply a mistake.

[bustamo321]

this is a breakdancing song to me

[ShizzLas]

thats fucking awesome!

oldschool.. wheres my blunt!?

[FromThe3PointLine]

#realhiphop

[JudahhF]

wats up with great minds dying for no reason..

:(

pay homage

[SydneyPandaHartman]

How'd he die?

[lucky24435]

@SydneyPandaHartman he chased the dragon and it ate him

[shabo234]

@lucky24435 No, don't ever put heroin and Eyedea in the same sentence like that again. He had a sleeping disorder, so he mixed his medication with alcohol and went to sleep face down and passed away. Learn your shit before you go around telling people false statements.

Rest In Beats Micheal "Eyedea" Larson.

[lucky24435]

@shabo234 thats what i heard you ignorant little cunt. i went online and it said he O.D, i came on youtube and asked around and people said the same. and dont act like he wasnt chasing the dragon we all knew he was

[shabo234]

@lucky24435 you call me ignorant, yet you believe what you hear? I heard it from his mother herself. Of course people on youtube are going to make some bullshit up. And he didn't do drugs like that. If you pay attention to his music, you would know that.

[lucky24435]

@shabo234 lol so your telling me eyedea never did H? i think so. i believe the OD on medication but dont tell me he never did H

[shabo234]

@lucky24435 Yea, i am telling you that. Micheal would never do anything like that. What is your justification and reasoning that he did Heroin? Because hes a deep and poetic musician, or just because hes a musician as a whole?

[rebukable]

@shabo234 It sounds to me that you believe what you hear as well. I don't think my mother ever did find out I did/do drugs; if you asked her, she would probably say I didn't experiment with mind-altering substances at all. It seems that you are throwing conjecture around just as much as any other, and if you payed attention to his music, you would know that he lyrically hints at drug usage.

[slasher4443]

@rebukable rofl how true ahahhahaha

[hexxxen]

@rebukable How do subtle, or even explicit drug references necessarily imply that he did Heroin? To defend shabo234, we're not arguing whether or not he did drugs in general -- we know he did-- we are arguing specific substances.

[austinhayes1992]

remember the night he died, killed my high and my drunk, RIP

[BEATproducerLU]

no1 told me about his dead :(( its true..the good die all.. R.I.P to Eyedea aka. Freestyleking aka. my definition of hipHop!!! fuck you god for taking him away, fuck you Eyedea for leaving us alone -.-

[Johnilusgdm]

thumbs up if your hear to listen to a legend not tony hawk memories...

[Waraba93]

@Johnilusgdm i still remember playin THPS4 and listening 2 this song, thats how i found out about Eyedea

RIP

[TWheels10]

1:20 hard to not start nodding your head at this part

[WTFDidYouSay2me]

wtfffff, how is pitbull the next video choice after thiss!!!???

YOUTUBE!! dont ever spit on a legends grave like that again...

[Thailur5194]

If you are NEW TO EYEDEA. Check out my page, I made a tribute video of my top 25 hip hop songs by EYEDEA & ABILITIES. Expand on your songs from the greatest MC of all time!

[mcches33]

He says "fuck you" with clarity

[parkerman23]

yeee good tune

[WipeYourPussy]

this world couldnt handle eyedeas coolness

[TheKoski420]

wow

[symbal777]

what's the bass sample?

[kyoukilis20]

First heard this in a video game when I was a kid, this might have been the song that got me into hip hop. Such a fuckin classic...I could listen to it all day.

[WingWeeMovies]

@kyoukilis20 Tony Hawks Pro Skater 4

[WhatssGolden]

" My favorite are the rappers the egotistical bastards the people that never clap for you, say you think you wacker than you.!" - R.I.P Eyedea!!

[gotagrinonemoretime]

sadly, although he is gone and will be missed, his words will live on, forever.

[250Bikes]

Thumbs up if you knew this before seeing it on Tony Hawk's Pro Skater4.

[JEVICofthaMC]

@250Bikes That's EXACTLY how I found out about this song, and I think that is the awesome part about it. A video game is a great way to help lesser known artists be exposed to a large portion of the population. Eyedea kicks ass!

[kyoukilis20]

this song owned tony hawks soundtrack, and that was a really good soundtrack too

[LAKRZ90]

@kyoukilis20 I couldve sworn i heard this as a kid!

[jaegere91]

Tony Hawk represent. a fucking AMAZING game. and i just heard this time for the first time since i put my PS2 away. all i gotta say is wow

[undergroundh1ph0p]

@jaegere91 if you havent already, check out this dudes other shit..hes was an amazing lyricist (RIP)..one of the best

[liedersk]

ahhhhhh good ol tony hawk memories

[jpazz201]

fuck! cant belive this guy died in his sleep man. dam r.i.p. EYEDEA

[ichewtoast111]

Lryical genious.

[dipmuthafukinset]

REAL, YES

[XLNTONEMMA]

i love Eyedea 4ever! RIP

[TriggaTrey211]

how did he die?

[hollydevin45]

This Shit Is Real Rap..

Fuck The New Bullshit

Everyone Listens To Today.

[McProZak]

@hollydevin45 news flash...the world existed before you.

[Shocktechballer]

THPS4 in 5th grade.. oh my... nostalgia... RIP Eyedea

[Oneluvv25]

This will forever be on repeat every time anyone plays THPS4 in my presence. R EYE P Mike

[Derelict84DR]

First song that I ever heard of Eyedea back in the day and became an instant fan.

[iluvrocknrap]

the bible says evil cant die only the good is re-born

[Planbhorizon]

@iluvrocknrap I think Eyedea is atheist

[iluvrocknrap]

@Planbhorizon maybe i could see it but in the end its not what religion you pick its how you lived your life good or bad the choice is yours

[snickazzzz]

@Planbhorizon I think Eyedea believes in a god

[glass509]

@snickazzzz really? then why does he say in numerous interviews and songs that he didn't believe in god?

[snickazzzz]

@glass509 I remember seeing a comment here on youtube saying that idea doesnt believe in the christian god,

[Trigun929]

@snickazzzz "I don't believe in an afterlife, I think that if you examine it closely enough. You can figure out that, in a lot of ways, its a defense mechanism. That your brain indulges in. I think that, you can not envision your self not existing. Because if you could, then who is there living it? Ya'know? So you always have to perpetuate an idea of your immortality." 1 out of 2

[Trigun929]

@Trigun929 Since we know we physically decay, we kinda of create an idea of this spiritual side because we don't want to let go of our identities. So we want to say there is an afterlife, but what we are really saying is "I want to life forever" - Eyedea v=FCIiPH6IpPQ <- his thoughts on a lot of stuff

[snickazzzz]

@Trigun929 Thats cool bro thanks for the info ill check out the vid.

[TheWiiman14]

now this rap is AWESOME!

[MichaelFlip]

RIP Eyedea, you ARE such a badass :)

[CacaKing2]

RIP Big Dawg. Legend for sure.

[venuism]

[ynnaMcFly]

[MrJonathanserenil]

[anthonySRHpoole]

RIP Eyedea. you will be missed dearly. greatest mc.

[DJBr3w]

[PSPmonk34]

[imcurtis206]

RIP. One of the best.

[reaganismyhomeboy]

RIP Eyedea!! best rappers are the dead ones

[brotherbuttcrack]

such a good song. R.I.P.

[Stantzs]

As good as this is, you just know that he would have made stuff 10x better if he had some more time to practice and write more stuff.

[DaSkarekrow]

R.I.P. Eyedea... my favorite song from him!

[dezdelllll]

RIP Eyedea

[smegmadiver22]

So, let me get this straight... this guy dies, yet 50 cent gets to live??

[djVandalTopV]

@smegmadiver22 Straight Bull Shitt Right.?

[McProZak]

@smegmadiver22 he probably killed himself though...50 cent is too dumb to contemplate existence...

this is called irony.

[66stabmastaarson]

@smegmadiver22 50, HO va, lil wack I could go on forever with names of famous rappers that have sucked dick/taken it up the ass to get famous that should have gone before eyedea ,RIP, your a star destroyer forever

[BLaCkKsHeEp]

@smegmadiver22

maybe 50 needs to OD instead of getting shot.

[JOEL0096]

@smegmadiver22 we need people like this dead

[Allthehoes4me]

@JOEL0096

Ur a fuckin cunt, cuz he is dead u douche bag!

[65c]

@smegmadiver22 its cuz eyedea had real problems.. 50 a lame claimer

[Wolf8x2]

@smegmadiver22 no it's lil wayne gets to live. you mixed up the sentence. lol

[ganjaman383]

Well said Why is Punk-ass Curtis Jackson still Alive Yet Eydea Dies of natural Causes Its a sick joke. God bless ML Eydea R>I>P Best White Rappeer Alive!

[ganjaman383]

Well said Why is Punk-ass Curtis Jackson still Alive Yet Eydea Dies of natural Causes Its a sick joke. God bless ML Eydea R>I>P Best White Rappeer in history!

[ParallelDynasty]

@ganjaman383

Actually, Eyedea died of an overdose.

[lucky24435]

@ParallelDynasty of what?

[ParallelDynasty]

@lucky24435

Pain medication or something like that, I forget.

[lucky24435]

@ParallelDynasty yea that what im starting to hear

[juneradar]

@smegmadiver22 EY man, give thanks to DJ Abilities' living.

[makaveli65]

@smegmadiver22 50 cent might not be the sickest rapper out there but atleast hes smart enough to not overdose

[LaxFreak225]

@smegmadiver22 yo dont dis 50, yeah his latest albums sucked dick, but get rich or die tryin was fucking dope, but obviously still nothing compared to eyedea. RIP

[10qaws]

@smegmadiver22 lol man your obsessions with mainstreem artists are astonishing . you make me think you have little dicks or something and if not its even more unintresting . i have little penus myself i grew up in a trailer with mom and use the english langwidge in search for jazzzz hey

[RandomCL]

@smegmadiver22

What a disgusting thing to say. I do not enjoy 50 Cent's music at all, and love Eyedea's, but that's still absolutely sickening. Do you honestly wish death on someone for making music you don't like? Do you not see how absolutely horrifying that is?

[smegmadiver22]

@RandomCL Sorry man, I usually try to tone down my comments so as not to offend hysterical douches who take everything super-seriously, but I guess I dropped the ball on this one!!

[RandomCL]

@smegmadiver22

It has nothing to do with "toning your comment down". It has to do with being a decent human being. You're the absolute filth of the world for two reasons: you're so obsessed with the "celebrities are gods" culture that you obsessively post about them everywhere, and you honestly wish death on someone for making sounds with their mouth (rapping). That's childish, disgusting, and disturbing.

[smegmadiver22]

@RandomCL Sorry for the late reply, I was busy obsessively posting about celebrities! If you are a troll, you are unfunny and shit, and should give up. If you are posting your actual thoughts, please refer to my original response.

[1993123]

RIP

[RavePB]

RIP. Lay down some mad beats in the next life.

[amogajas]

[mandaJt]

LOVE this song!

[RyushiGrave]

The Tony Hawk's series had me listening to Rhymesayers before I knew who Rhymesayers was. 

[joethehappyfish]

@RyushiGrave same haha

[twscyclone200]

thps 4 version has a different bass intro. cant find it anywhere online

[Remscar]

They are white not black lol

[Skyman2596]

pro skater 4 :)

[sparkle400]

"why are the rappers so airy" "they have no right to act like there god" ;)

[nakamine1713]

who are the 2 idiots that gave this a thumbs down????

[ndlaxball2]

mmmmmmm nigga

[joeelement511]

the beat sounds different, the one on thps4 was much better in my opinion but still the song is brilliant

[nutinurmacaroni]

@joeelement511 No. This is the exact same beat off of THPS4 and the same song. It's actually hard to find this version as there's usually a live version that will usually come up believe me I went through the trouble at one time.

[nakamine1713]

@nutinurmacaroni i had to order this CD man...hard to find for sure



[twscyclone200]

@nutinurmacaroni this is not the same as thps 4 version

[nutinurmacaroni]

@twscyclone200 Well, have fun searching then because whether you choose to believe it or not, I am right. This is the exact same version. The bass line in the start of this version is exactly the same as in THPS4. I still have my THPS 4 and I even made sure that what I am saying is correct.

[twscyclone200]

@nutinurmacaroni you are wrong, unless u got a different version of the game. i checked again and the bass line is different in the intro and in certain parts. i got an idea, ill upload a vid of that song from the soundtrack straight from the game and you do the same

[twscyclone200]

@nutinurmacaroni ur wrong

[nutinurmacaroni]

@twscyclone200 You're right. I'm sorry but it sounds like it was made just for THPS or something because I went through every single version of the song I could find a couple of years ago.

[akakilla190]

dude ive been looking for this shii. itz some gansta stuff kinda rap i like

[twscyclone200]

@akakilla190 lol gangsta
