  • @TstanonKarlak Maybe it's you and not me, either way? Walk away, I'M OKAY. - Eyedea

  • I just realized that eyedea is the rap game's kurt cobain

  • fuckin sick..

  • Im a huge Nirvana fan and this reminds me of Kurt so much. Good shit <3

  • @PigBenissixtynine then you would love to listen to eyedea's grunge band "carbon Carrousel"

  • @Lomaxxx53 Thanks man! I didnt even know he had a grunge band, ive been listening to them a bit, reminds me of nirvana :D

  • Eyedea didn't die.. He's just on a whole other level.

  • ... you get the reference.

  • @michaelworley11 ...no...im pretty sure dave grohl is still dave grohl

  • I didn't know you could make vinyls do that... Eyedea is the Cobain of the 2000's, and Abilities is the David Grohl.

  • I'm sorry, but I really don't like these types f songs he makes. His songs that are more philosophical and almost disturbingly revealing are the best ones. This song is just kinda middle-school grunge. I absolutely loved Eyedea though, don't mistake me

  • @TstanonKarlak I think it is. I feel like when I look at the lyrics it's real philosophical. I think it's like criticizing shit from a philosopher's view. know what I mean? lol

  • @owingawat Yeah I guess. I dunno. I guess any song he would make would seem to be coming from a philosophical point of view lol. But the ones that are more deeply into it are my favorites. like Birth of a Fish. i absolutely love that song

  • @TstanonKarlak I think if you read the lyrics what it reminds me of is celebrity status, societal structure and it's emotional effects. I think it's more complex than birth of a fish. I feel like birth of a fish is just a complex way of helping us grasp a very simple idea. lmao but what the fuck do I know, I didn't write the shit

  • INCASE OF EMERGENCY: BREAK GLASS AND PUT US OUT

  • Micheal "Eyedea" Larsen is God.

  • the coolest musician I ever met... RIP Mikey

  • I love his gap

  • Fuck yeah!

  • dude, his body is resting. But his mind, is immortal

  • You wanna sing yourself to sleep but your too dead to realize that your screaming.

  • @nicknackrap YOU'RE GET IT RIGHT

  • @Razor5189 whaaa

  • Abilities deserves a little credit too.

  • @777cubsfan Deserves half the credit.

  • ha i love getting my mind blown over and over and over

  • The saint of Saint Paul

  • "By the Throat" is an extremely powerful album. It was almost a slap in the face to many hip hop heads, but the strength of it will resonate! Oliver Hart, Eyedea, and Michael Larsen will survive by those of us that remember them!

  • "the universe is black and im a lighter shade of blind"  nobody could write the lines Eyedea wrote.

    the world is a darker place without his energy in it

  • @RyanGiggsOBE his energy is still hear. Make something outta it.

  • kurt cobain of the hip hop

  • R.I.P

  • RIP Larsen.

  • Cant believe its been a year already. A whole year without him being alive...

    Feels bad man, and its going to feel worse when the second year comes.

  • YEEEESSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!

  • Damn... I think I'd go gay for this guy lol

    Awesome

  • @TrubbleShewter

    I think that'd be illegal, given his present condition

  • WHYYYY??!?!? WHY did he have to go?!?! HE WAS THE BEST!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHGGGGGGGGGGG COME BAAAAAAAAAAAACK!!!!!!!! whyyy

  • besser als alles andere

  • Micheal Larson is my god my only hope in life is for him to resurrect and show the world his talent so he could change hip hop forever he is the best and always will be

  • @barberbeau how full of yourself are you?

  • I keep revisiting this video, and every time I favorite it again and again as I if I've never done it before

  • I met dj abilities along with most of the other guys on the Family Tour and they were some of the nicest guys I've ever met, i was drunk off my ass and they still tried to hold a conversation with me and took pictures with me

  • shiiiit i never knew this guy is dead... such a loss!

  • They look like they had fun making this video...

  • God such a bitching video

  • this reminds me alot of nirvana. Nirvana: legend of rock. eyedea: legend of hiphop.

  • The Kurt Cobain of Hip Hop

  • @HighDrovision

    I said that 2 years ago when I saw his "Smile video" and predicted his death.

  • They are two different artist get off of this comparing the two OMG both died tragically. Both live on let's enjoy what they left behind never forget them as INDIVIDUALS.  We are all assholes at some point so STFU and listen to all of their sick tunes. GOOD VIBES!

  • Comment removed

  • Mikey was a genius. all of you who think otherwise dont know what you are saying. I'll be stoked to meet mikey again one of these days.

  • Mikey. I know you are gone, but I miss you regardless. I am happy to have met you, but I am still heartbroken you are gone. Im here for you.

  • @Berlinbestever you really dont know what your talking about

  • @Berlinbestever your right eyedea was terrible and an asshole...now dont ever listen another one of his songs. you dont deserve it asshole.

  • @Berlinbestever Dude shut up.

  • @Berlinbestever you really dont know enough about eyedea to realize the talent this human being possessed. I'm not going to rash on you but don't post ignorant comments to a now dead amazing emcee.

    R.EYE.P Eyedea we all love you!

  • Kurt Cobain of hip hop

  • Kurt Cobain meets Aesop Rock with added genius

  • @dlord969 this is excatly what i thought...then i saw your post so

    i didnt post it. haha

  • @dlord969 I agree he is certainly as good as lyricist as Aesop Rock but the comparison is askew since Mr. Larson was also an extemporaneous battle and freestyle extraordinaire, whereas Aesop really doesn't dazzle with his VERY few freestyles. Amazing writer sure, and Blockhead's beats are phenomenal, but he's no Eyedea, no one is. I've heard him compared to feminem as if 8-mile were a documentary. That Dre. baby couldn't hold a candle to Mickey. One is a marketing gimmick the other an artist.

  • @jbotos1 you called him mickey. its mikey. he's not a mouse. otherwise i agree, but he's not a mouse.

  • @dlord969 where did you get aesop rock from?? he has very few freestyles, and does not freestyle off the top like eyedea or even close and does not sound anything like him

  • @Ston3d42O Last I checked Kurt Cobain didn't freestyle either, so why aren't you asking where he got Kurt Cobain from? I can see where he got Aesop from, because of the intricate deep abstract metaphorical philosophical rhymes. Notice he also said 'added genius', so he's essentially saying Eyedea > Aesop. In any case, art isn't just about freestyling.

  • @dfminky well i can name you many other deep rappers, so thats irrelevant if you think those 2 are the only whose raps are philosophical based. you can get kurt kobain because of the grungy styled music..

  • @Ston3d42O NEVER said they were the ONLY deep or philosophical rappers, just saying I can see the comparison. It's not irrelevant. Of course I listen to other rappers who are deep, but they have different styles and I can just see the Aesop comparison it's something in the energy even though it's different just get over it or make a fucking better comparison then.

  • @Ston3d42O Oh and I'm sure there's other grungy styled music so I guess that comparison is IRRELEVANT too then, if you think they're the only grungy styled music. -_-

  • @dlord969 Or, maybe it's just the two already geniuses: Eyedea And Abilities

  • @dlord969 fuck yes

  • Even if in God we bend and in trust we cheat

    I’m everyday people normal

    And I’m glad to be

    Wow. This is Awesome.

  • i wathced this vid about 10 times. sick. Best thing that i've heard from 90th

  • I'm everyday people normal and i'm glad to be

  • Huge Respect from Bulgaria !

  • RIP Eyedea, your beautiful voice will never be forgotten.

  • 36 guys are justin biebers fans

  • RIP Eyedea

  • 2:33 is that a nug?

  • i'm a heroin adict, every pain i've ever felt in my 19 year life and 2 year using span has been said in this song, it literally just changed my life. i'm a guitarist and that's how i truley speak, but some words can be just as powerful as notes.

  • Reminds me of Dfa1979

    Love his teeth <3

    ...wish he was still with us.

  • Him dying was God's sick way of saying "it doesn't get any better than this"

  • Heroin overdose...

    I cry everytime I think about it.

  • @autumnxcore Actually from what I've heard it wasn't heroin but rather pills he took so he could sleep and that it was an accident.

  • @Isosyth I'm glad you typed this before Me. I had to shake My head when I read her say it was heroin.

  • @autumnxcore yeah no heroine buddy!!!!

  • @autumnxcore who the fuck told you heroine. he didn't do fucking heroin!

  • @autumnxcore HEROIN???? What A Dumb Bitch He Didn't Die Cause' Of Heroin!!!!! He Was Taking Sleeping Pills For His Insomnia & When He Fell Asleep He Fell Into A Deep Sleep & Died In His Sleep!!! Your A Dumbass Bitch Is Swear!!!!! He Never Fucked With Heroin You Dick!!!!

  • olivar heart is great its what got me into eyedea and nirvana listen to carbon caousel allways better sorry its eyedeas rock band

  • I just discovered Eyedea and abitlites....It was sad to find out that this talented guy passed away. Yet, I am sure he is enjoying it better than here.

  • I used to hate this album when it first came out, I only liked the song Smile. It took me a while to get used to, but god I fucking LOVE this album!

  • @YoungDirtyCwalk It seems like all of his albums had this effect on me. Now my favorite song is This Story :)

  • @YoungDirtyCwalk my favorite album by these guys, i think. :) my friend gave me The Many Faces of Oliver Hart, and i liked it but wasnt really into it.. it grew on me though! id suggest checking it out if you haven't already

  • RIP...

  • Just ignore the Bieber comments. He knows he can't fuck with Eyedea's music.

  • all of yall should go check out suddlenuance

  • It's pathetic that I can't even listen to a real artist like Eyedea & Abilities without hearing a stupid comment about a 12 year old pop star.

  • To the 35 ppl who disliked this....FUCK YOU! Im a knock ur teeth outta ur face....

  • @heriticpirate6 the only people that cant like this probably dont have teeth left in their faces to begin with.. Off to watch more nascar ya hillbillies!

  • @oxide112

    I'm pretty sure that the only reason we have Beiber, and god has Eyedea is because god wants to listen to Eyedea, and wants nothing to do with Beibs.

    

  • kestroid=ikr

    

  • best music to listen to before may 21st

  • WHY did i have to discover him after he died

  • idk why but ijust have to laugh at how much he kills this. Nice, especially the second half

  • I met DJ Abilities two nights ago in Portland during The Family Tour. He is literally one of the most genuine people I have ever met in my entire life. He was so nice, he signed my t shirt and gave me his undivided attention as I told him how much I appreciate him & what he does. You could really tell that he loves what he does, & to me, that is the most important thing in life. I still can't believe I met him!

    Keep doing your thing DJ Abilities, cuz you sure do it well. RIP Mikey, we love you.

  • Holyshit, Eyedea man, oh fuck, good shit

  • Its such a shame the greats have to pass:/

  • Yup. that's oxycontin... sadly. experienced first hand. Heroin is for the art but not for the soul.

  • T.V. making him a zombie. I think so people miss the point of this. Props if you got it though. Eyedea always was saying shit....

  • @Kids0poke0smot its a metaphor fool !,... seriously if you meant that comment go cut your wrist and jump of a bridge for being an complete idiot

  • @oxide112 That's not a metaphor at all...

  • @oxide112 Don't you know dude? If you wanna get something done make a deal with the devil >:D

  • @oxide112 nah were gonna have to give him like 40 other shit artists to make it even.

  • @oxide112 i dont think its god you make a deal with......

  • @oxide112

    Don't mention fucking Justin Bieber on Eyedea video you fucking thumb whore.

  • @oxide112 Making clever jokes about a dead rap god? Round of applause, everyone!

  • @TheJunkieBox Calm down bud not everything has to be serious

  • @oxide112 become pious to eyedea and become his prodigy

  • @oxide112 But we'd be ripping God off :O
