  • Wow this actually isn't bad at all. This is the closest I've found to true poetry within rap/hiphop so far. Anybody got any other reccomendations? I'm down to check out some more hiphop, I just want it to be on the really out there artistic side. The more the better.

  • @itsmedude1020 try eyedeas other albums (paricularly first born) check out atmosphere, sage francis and illogic as well

  • @itsmedude1020 also dig deeper back into the golden age, when poetry was the focus of hip-hop. Tribe Called Quest, Gang Starr, Boogie Down Productions, Eric B. & Rakim...

  • @Romencer17

    @theapr1

    Thanks guys, I'll check em out.

  • man, eyedeas music on mushrooms is soooooo trippy..

  • Has anybody noticed that it says under the dislike bar that this song is Seagulls by Deadsy? haha

  • imo it doesn't have much to do with existentialism. Like a lot of Eyedea's stuff, it echos the thoughts of the situationist international. It's saying the poverty of life is caused by the rat race, not that it's subjective whether life is miserable.

  • Is the intro sample Jimi cuz if so Thank you for keeping it real, I love you.

  • i'm covering this topic in philosophy by comparing our lives to the myth of sisyphus, we are doing nothing but rolling a rock up and down a hill. this can be a depressing idea but to it all depends on if you give meaning to it. as long as what you do has meaning to you then you can see the brighter side. r.i.p micheal, you revolutionized hip hop.

  • @ssdd191 Doing some Existentialism based on Camus? I did some of that last semester. We also saw Heideggar and Sartre. Fun class, mads depressing at times.

  • Eyedea you my friend have not played on a bucked 

  • Make money and DIE, it's the American way...

  • I hate it when there's no likes on a video, I go to click like, and miss to be the first dislike.

  • This song always seems to make me wanna drop outta school. Lmao makes me feel good about having shitty grades.

  • @owingawat same lol.

  • @owingawat take advantage of the free education man, use it to grow but dont take it to serious.

    just my opionion by experience

  • @owingawat It's not about dropping out of society and being a bum, it is about doing what is true to your heart regardless of what you can make from it monetarily.

  • @midevilco Maybe my heart wants me to drop out of school? So BAM!

  • @owingawat lol maybe you'll need to drop out in order to grow up....

  • @aapop100 Maybe start a meth lab?

    ....just kidding I'm not gonna drop out. lmao damn

  • eyedea or oliver hart? :/

  • @TheKickasskatie Eyedea , Oliver Hart was only a pseudonym and his real name was Michael Larsen

  • mhmmmmmmm puppet . you guys know joe rogens a comidian he actually lightend up my day one time he was hilarious hes got a thing about eat the sandwidge how we were just put here to do it /pot activist / pride fighter hes ight

  • you ARE missed

  • All Eyedea ever wanted was Oliver Hart

  • @ExtraterestrailProof It's "All mikey ever wanted was all of her heart."

  • @ReinventionOfFire Yes it is. Thanks for clearing that up, I didnt want to :)

  • Comment removed

  • All of Eyedea's songs are giving me goosebumps

  • I think i've contributed about a thousand views to this video lol

  • @Alex6544onPS3 keep it up!

  • So if this somehow made it to the radio today, most of you motherfuckers would stop listening to Eyedea?

  • @Villian619 No. That's just dumb. Why would you do that?

  • @Villian619 well if you get in the media and the mainstream, what usually happens is that the singers start to slip from their unique individuality. if you want an example, look at slug from atmosphere. lol.

  • @illlluck Agreed 110%

  • @illlluck Just because you cant appreciate the growth of a musician doesn' mean slugs lost his indivduality. When you've been in the game as long as he has you get bored of doing the same thing over and over again. Listen to his work in Felt, He still freestyles like a beast, and I'm pretty sure he did a couple shows with face candy recently.

  • @yaoifanboykitty ha yeah. and hes always been an emotional rapper and the new album was really awsome i thought.. most people think its shit but its a great album

  • How come every Eyedea song speaks to me?

  • what you guys dont think about is what makes this special is keepin it off the radio cuz only the real know this and go to the shows an the real will be passed to our kids id be pissed if some asshole was bumpin this an couldnt understand the meaning

  • RIP Eyedea.

  • TairyHesticles ya have great taste in music!!!

  • eyedea is simply too fucking awesome for some cheap radio station to be playing his philosophy. let the idiots that think drake is lyrically talented waste their time on raunchy raps instead of intellectual hip hop

  • so i said "you dont accomplish nothing sittin in the street, an im sure you probably barley survive off you pennys you gather." he said "to your surprise i make enought to eat, and i accomplish jus as much as you only i stop pretending my job matters," he looked me in my eyes an tole me i was a puppet and what i do is no more important than beatin a bucket.. FUCKING GENIUS! thanks for your wisdom, love n peace

  • rip eyedea

  • wow.... "so i took in what was said but i didnt accept it well maybe i did i mean i just wouldnt admit it i was too committed to the belief that all the hard work now would prove my future existed somehow" too bad when you put out intellectual music, the masses and herds are incapable or unwilling to embrace it...

  • How the fuck does this have 9000 veiws and baby by justin beiber have 400,000,000?

  • @SteezyNibreezy How the fuck am I still hearing Beiber's name?

  • @Glitch667 WORD

  • @SteezyNibreezy because of dumbasses like you spreading the word...

  • i love how davesababe commented on his own comment lol. I also love what he has to say....facebook quote? i do believe so :p

  • Fuck Damn Shitsticks. Are we really comparing artistic expression and creations to others trying to say one is better than the other?! These songs aren't fucking inanimate objects. You try comparing them and grading them off of each other and you'll start to lack the ability to see each individual piece for what it is. they're all completely different things. Let it fucking be, enjoy it, get what you can out of it, and if you can't get anything out of it then move on.

  • @davesababe Hmmmmm.....thought provoking words my friend...much truth lies within them as well. Thank you good sir haha. I love reading the comments on Eyedea's songs, there's def a few gems in them.

  • @jcassidia1423 Ahaha now I feel kind of dumb for my opening line being 'Fuck Damn Shitsticks.' Hahaha. My apologies about the anger I let loose there.

  • @davesababe Ha sorry for being annoying, now I feel the need to clarify my point now haha. Even though words themselves are inanimate, when painted together they create something so intangible and so unique that the thought of trying to hold one up to another and judge it just seems pointless and detrimental to the piece itself. Eyedea was who he was and there's a limitless amount of unique beauty behind them everything, so why compare them and throw out their unique potential as an individual?

  • macklemore is better in my opinion. sadistik as well. don't come to me bitching, check them out. i am entitled to have my own opinion.

  • RIP eyedea

  • RIP.

    you left your mark Michael.

    even though your dead your voice will forever remain in my RCA cords.

  • @riseagainstneverdie

    Pfft, it's all about Hdmi.

  • ONE OF THE BEST.

  • keep the negative comments coming!

    rip eyedea

  • RIP <3

    i want to be that man playing the bucket. spit the truth eyedea

  • @ashleyoctopus123

    i'll come with you, we can sit on venice beach and play the bucket, and find true freedom. 

  • @SNOB1R you have no idea how tempting that sounds. my soul longs for a taste of true freedom.. of heaven

    venice beach <33

  • @layedout72 your mom too

  • R.I.P. EYEDEA's glad to have seen you live doing your craft!

  • @superlyrical1987 your mom

  • TsimFuckis and wesley willis are way better lyricists than this guy

  • @xmagicshep1 if you're really 29 its time to grow the fuck up man, going to different songs of eyedea's posting comments about how you dont like his music.. then get over it and shut your fucking mouth you whiny little bitch. shame intelligent people like eyedea have do die early and your dumb ass is still around spreading nonsense..hows about you go play a nice game of hide and go drown yourself...

  • @xmagicshep1 Please, if nothing else...respect the deceased.

  • @xmagicshep1 you gotta be joking? Would both of those dudes you named come up with...."I've trudged through the sediment in search of the rhythm, Dove soul first to bathe nude in its abyss, Paid dues and made music my religion, Now I listen, close my eyes, and forget I even exist"....highly doubt it

  • @xmagicshep1 I dont think there's anything wrong with recomending new artists to look into, but you coulda worded it better, something like "if you like this Eyedea guy's lyrical prowess why not check out TsimFuckis and wesley willis they're just as good, better in my opinion" Im gonna look into them. Why not? haha

  • @xmagicshep1 if you rapped it would be douche-hop

  • Thankyou and RIP for a REAL RHYMESAYER TRUTH SLANGER

  • R.I.P Eyedea im just a motherfuckin wierdo

  • Comment removed

  • @xmagicshep1 you can keep your rap...i'll keep this hip hop.

  • great beats and a great rapper.. great mix

  • This really reminds me of "Birth of a Fish" for some reason. I guess it's kind of the "you were the same as the bucket player all along" type of thought.

  • Man, this song used to speak to me in a way no other hip hop song could. Can't believe it's almost nine years old now.

  • hahah i like right when the guitar starts you hear whistle sounds. :):

    ilove this album.

  • all eyedeas shit is crazy fucking good

  • watch?v=sjBDSTEi9jU

    watch?v=sjBDSTEi9jU

    watch?v=sjBDSTEi9jU

    Check it out.

  • face to face with reality, does anybody start out thinkin thats the real way?, it works

  • Can Jay-Z, Kanye, Lil Wayne and Drake honestly listen to this and consider themselves better? lol, wish these guys could be bumping in the radio so the future generation had people like Oliver to look up to, world would be a better place.

  • the MC's name is eyedea dude... you should hear what he does with DJ abilities.

  • tis way it is man... controlled media dude look it up.

  • those guys are blinded by money and power.

    the only reason they have sale stats is because most people are blinded by money and power. people listen to lazy music is a lazy way. they buy expensive shit in a robotic way.

  • @futureslugger Jay Z is a bighter and Bitch ACT for real, dont even mention him any more.

  • @futureslugger jay-z was great back in the day(90s) and if our shit was on the radio it wouldnt be ours or special know what im sayin

  • @futureslugger

    well its obvious that Jay z, Kanye, Lil Wayne and Drake are way better than Eyedea cuz they make a lot more money.

  • @Terrorizzzm That's only because for some reason garbage has mass appeal.

  • @mlup

    we live in a culture of fear and consumption. the govt keeps us afraid of terrorists and criminals (thats all the news reports) and we buy shit we dont need. we DO need eyedea and other works of philosophical importance

  • @Terrorizzzm You have a lot to learn about hip-hop if you think the rappers who make lots of money are better than real artists who spit true hip-hop. Mainstream Country, Rap, Pop, and Rock have all merged in to one genre that sounds exactly the same. There's no creativity, no heart, no passion, just repetitive lyrics and the same overproduced beats over and over. I honestly feel sorry for people who listen to crap like drake and kanye.

  • @lemondrop1523

    I was trying to make a joke, who in their right mind would actually think that?

  • @Terrorizzzm o well my fault. Yea i should of picked up on the sarcasm. ha. You'd be suprised though dude. I mean otherwise why would those artists you mentioned be that popular. People are attracted to the lifestyle of being rich, even if it comes from selling out. Anyways yea i should of known that someone who was into that stuff wouldn't have clicked on this video in the first place.

  • Macklemore and Sadistik are both better in my opinion. Don't come to me bitching about it either. Check them out and i guarantee you'll have 2 new great artists to listen to.

  • @theblackmanOyeah i hate now that eyedea is dead everyone hates on people for not calling him the best. At least you know how to be objective about it. I think eyedea is one of the best for sure though.

  • @futureslugger

    fuck mainstream

  • @futureslugger you mean micheal?

  • @futureslugger not that i dont agree that eyedea's better than those guys i hate when people think everything in mainstream is garbage. Jay-z is actually a great rapper and kanye is hit and miss. also eminems first three albums where all great. Common, Nas, biggie, tupac, and mos def all have amazing music. Its great to see real hip hop fans but dont be blind. Take good music where ever you can find it. no prejudice

  • @futureslugger I really don't like his style. but Drake legitimately has good taste when it comes to music. He grew up in a family full of musicians and they learned him pretty well.

  • @Sire666

    *taught him pretty well.

    These musicians have one thing in common, they pick good & expensive beats (which they shouldn't be credited be for) that their record companies pay for. & then they ride the beat pretty well. However, they are not good rappers! It isn't written anywhere as thoughtfully as Eyedea's pieces. And it's the writing and rapping that the rappers should be credited for. Their songs may sound better as complete pieces, but 90% of that is the producer's job.

  • @bizarrobazaar Dude you don't need to sell Eyedea to me at all.

  • @futureslugger thos artists dont even have to acknowledge Eyedea because there mainstream assholes making millions but this is real art in its purest form, there heads are probably so far up their asses they probably cant even relate to what Mikes talking about. All Jay Z, Kanye and Lil Wayne care about is their egos, bitches, and money.

  • @n0sjared Straight up. I always said I didn't like rap until recently. I'm huge into metal and shit but I like everything I find artistic really. I just found Eyedea tonight, and I think I like rap now. Blame Wayne, Kanye, and JayZ for making me hate rap.

  • how much do yall pay

  • hahahah

  • Make money and die thats the american way

  • Possibly the best hip hop ever.
