Eyedea - Techniques

[jockslap]

When you do alot of Heroin like he apparently did, it really is quite irrelevant if it was suicide or overdose, either way we all know its the needle that killed him. Learn from your idols. Some drugs just aren't worth it whatsoever.

[JellyfishAnomaly]

I don't know about suicide but you could tell by his last album he was feeling spent/burned out. The candle that burns twice as bright lasts half as long :/

[ryanbozich3]

how does every rapper that starts to talk about the illuminati and such randomly die? ex: eyedea, immortal technique. shit i hope atmospher isnt next :/....

[youknowhoo]

@ryanbozich3 immortal technique isn't dead bro...



[themadmike1993]

@ryanbozich3 tech aint dead man

[SimplyxInstinct]

@x360rampagex No one on Earth could have said that better.

[x360rampagex]

This world is sick and twisted. People who are aware of the sick world around them have no motivation to live in it, so people try to get them institutionalized, to defy the knowledge that they have, and fill them with ignorance that the world is not such a bad place. How is it that those who live in ignorance are the ones who manage to cope best, and those who choose to accept the truth of what is twisted choose to reach for a bottle, to drown in their sorrow or to end it once and for all.

[wafcake]

@x360rampagex ignorance is bliss, but why not just make the best out of life even though a lot of shit is fucked up?

[x360rampagex]

@wafcake Absolutely, I didn't say suicide is the answer, but I understand why, In my opinion, he did it. If you can live with this world and have a measure of happiness, do.

[brady178]

I don't think he killed himself on purpose, but i think he knew he would probably die young. He was just one of those artists, actually fuck that he was one of those human beings that not enough people understood or knew about and that pisses me off.

[bensbravebabybenz]

@brady178 people don't understand and prosecute for that reason, perpetuating the problem. it's called apathy. why most geniuses are recluses or ppl most commonly thought to be nutty.

[HugeWeltanschauung]

honestly i suspect it was made to look like a suicide/OD. The only talented, successful, situationist-leaning musician on Earth suddenly dies. And what better way to denounce his entire world view than to make it look like a suicide? The US government kills people it doesn't like, has for a long time. Ever heard of Mossadegh,‭ ‬Lumumba,‭ ‬Goulart,‭ ‬Nkrumah,‭ ‬Arif,‭ ‬the Sandanistas,‭ or Arbenz? Nope, because they're dead and forgotten.

[spacebiggles]

@HugeWeltanschauung Yo, not to disrespect Eyedea but he's not the only situationist rapper. Sole brings up Debord a lot, and Buck 65 has an album called Situation, which is a reference to it.

[theeyedealer36]

The description say not sure what album....This is technically the Sixth Sense off of the Headshots Vol 6 tape

[Supernova1113]

He enjoyed life and enjoyed talking to people, some part of his life was dark and he expresses that through his music, you think eyedea accidentally killed himself, he was way to smart for accidentally doing anything, he knew what was going to happen that night for sure, rip eyedea

[searchn4atheistjesus]

Does everyone realize he died because he hadn't slept in days, took medicine to fall asleep, and passed out into his pillow and suffocated. If you listen to his music and what his closest friends said, he enjoyed life too much to commit suicide.

[TrubbleShewter]

"My technique is ancient, but you don't have the patience to absorb it" that line caught me. It sounds like he wants inside someone elses head, not his own. rip

[risingpauler]

love the nas samples!!

[delightfuldelia11]

R.I.P<3

[FremontMetalHead]

You "fans" all realize he overdosed by mixing opiates with alcohol, right??? Because he had trouble sleeping - his whole life??? It was a mistake - nothing more, nothing less. Now he's gone and he left a hell of a legacy, and you lying, rumor-starting motherfuckers are fucking it all up. Just stop - it wasn't suicide.

[cfell1]

@FremontMetalHead Dude thank god some people see it for what it was, a tragic accident in which we lost some amazing talent. Im just glad he can still share with us!

[CakeEtiquette]

he said...

qoute...I look forward to putting it all behind me...unqoute..

I"m sure he killed himself...sucks though

[NDay628]

RIP EYEDEA. sorry for the mispell:(

[NDay628]

RIP EYDEA.

[DalesFresh]

RIP



[steezbird]

"my eyedea of abilities is two hip-hop controllers"

[92BadBird]

he was one of the last from a dying breed

[venamek]

Why must you guys argue over his death? What's done is done, no matter how it happened. Let's just enjoy his life, rather than argue about his death.

This song fucking rocks.

[illloveashley4ever]

so i just started listening to eyedea today cause i saw him in a battle with brother ali. and this dude got bars. howd he pass away? sucks cause id like to hear more of his music

[nolin335]

@illloveashley4ever he acidentally overdosed cause his doctor gave him the wrong pills

[sketch2k]

@illloveashley4ever face down in societies' pillow. It's a damn shame!

[lyrsisttillthedeath1]

im an also an opiate addict, like our fallen rhymesayer soldier eyedea. and i also use music to escape, I DONT WANT FUCKING FAME OR MONEY, i jus wanna help people with my music, and to show EVERYONE who told me i wasnt shit tht i am capable of success, please, check out my channel if you have any extra moments

[noentrie]

@lyrsisttillthedeath1 FAGGET

[lyrsisttillthedeath1]

@noentrie fhahahahhahahahahahahahhahahah­ahaaaaaahaaahahahahahahahahhah­ahahahahh

[NinjaFlip11]

Legend

[MrBboyHP]

@xXEMOXROXx Guru passed away too. So awful

[enleyetened]

Eyedea definitely committed suicide. this dude was way to smart to overdose on accident.

[MrBiace]

@enleyetened I heard he died from suffocation, cuz he pushed his face to pillow when he went to sleep on opiates cuz he could not sleep for a week b4, so he was in so deep sleep he couldnt wake up...

[johnybob2232]

@enleyetened Smart people don't commit suicide. The drugs took his problems away

[92BadBird]

@johnybob2232 man... i think that he commited suicide too. Listen closeley to the songs in the By the Throat album.. he talks about human society and the way its going down, degenerating day by day. The man lost passion for life. and he was an atheist i don't think he worried about heaven or hell. Only idiots overdose, Eyedea wasn't an idiot.

[AKShockwave]

@johnybob2232 Completely false. Tons of legendary geniuses have committed suicide. That being said, I don't necessary believe Eyedea was one of them.

[evaninboots]

@enleyetened cause you knew him so well right?

[enleyetened]

@evaninboots yes, actually. lmfao

[susypeti]

@evaninboots also, you know he is smart by listening to his music, that is obvious and he has seriously depressed lyrics

[abraham1O2]

@enleyetened Medical mystery, although I think that he might have died simply because he lost the will to live.Rest In Peace Eyedea.

[neb933]

@enleyetened curosity killed the cat the only answer to life are the answer you get after yur dead

[blang876]

@enleyetened

Your ignorant

[dazedandsublime]

@enleyetened im sure you knew him way better than his mother and close friends who all know it was accidental. you must know much about drugs either if you don't realise how easy it is to accidentaly overdose on what he was fuckin with.

[enleyetened]

@dazedandsublime Do you not listen at all to his lyrics? You don't come up with the shit he comes up with unless you have a serious problem with life.

[dazedandsublime]

@enleyetened i was gonna ask you the same thing. because if you listen to all of his music, not all of eyedeas music, all of michael larson's music, oliver hart, carbon carousel, all of the mans music/poetry you'd realise he loved life, had high hopes for his future, and would NEVER kill himself. and again, im sure you knew him way better than his mother and close friends

[dazedandsublime]

@enleyetened we all have our ups and downs, do you know anyone at all who never feels down? music was his way of expressing his feelings, the dark lyrics are from darker emotions, doesn't mean he was suicidal.

[dazedandsublime]

@enleyetened shit man, sorry im bein a dick. i just get really worked up when people think he killed himself

[DGKallDAY445]

@enleyetened hmm its funny how he suddenly died when he began rapping about conspiricy theories and the illuminati what a coincidence?

[Ehleohehle]

@enleyetened

Google "St Paul Tragedy Seven Acts" and read "The Underground Poet of St. Paul: A Tragedy in Seven Acts" Wasn't an overdose..

[rich4twenty]

R.EYE.P  redefined ill...

[levelsevenful]

lol! sorry my nephew used my levelsevenful' band acct. to comment on these videos...it's funny to c how all u peeps talk to eachother. funny kidz. never heard of Eyedea, but i like it. did he die or something? pills, stimulants whatever it's all the same. i use sing house on Power106 i did meth, i did pills, i had michael jacksons publicist. i'm not ashamed i was drug addict. i was just sick not a bad person. so peace to you Eyedea i suffered like you. a drug is a drug.

[kingblackhart]

@levelsevenful a drug is a drug? thats some ignorant shit...

[ztates]

@kingblackhart I guess I'm reading out of context.

[Tofunator420]

@kingblackhart please elaborate

[kingblackhart]

@Tofunator420 different drugs do different things, thats why they have different chemical structures, different names, and bind to different receptors, thats just basic.

[levelsevenful]

he died by doing meth and sleeping pills

[purplehaze1791]

@levelsevenful

EYEDEA WAS NOT A TWEAKER. DON'T EVEN START THAT SHIT.

[Vitrovxa]

@levelsevenful meth part is not tru, ive read many articles so i think i would know if thats how he died

[MrBiace]

@levelsevenful Why would he take meth if he needed sleeping pills, a bit contradictory maybe? By doin' meth you most certainly do not want to SLEEP, and cant. So why would the person who could not sleep well for his whole life take somthin as meth, you tell me?

[AaronAMVs]

@levelsevenful Are you fucking stupid? He overdosed on opiates and asphyxiated in his sleep because he didn't wake up when he threw up while he was sleeping.

[MrYpsi734]

@levelsevenful never did meth bro it was like sleeping pills and stimulants plus the same week he died i heard he had like no sleep at all

[bdubs360]

I believe he was on some prescription opiates and sleeping pills, and he passed out so hard that he ended up face first in his form fitting mattress and actually asphyxiated (suffocated). It was certainly NOT an overdose

[perpetualentropy]

there are thyroid pill heart pills birth control pill allergy pills etc etc and if its not dope it can be an opioid in the form of a patch pump liquid syrup

[perpetualentropy]

most pills are not opiates

[Soprano1Brooke]

[WakeVape]

@ScavengerData holy shit that same shit happends to me i just read that i wouldnt mind goin out like that but not for a long ass time

[BombsOnTrees]

@xXEMOXROXx :/

[ponderable90]

jun seba,guru,eyedea....good hip hop icons that have passed away.....they died cause there is no more real people in this world to embrace these great mc's and beat conductors!!! rest in paradise to all known and unknown hip hop artist that have fallen in this world..thanx for the music you have created!!!!

[WhiteGuy191]

how did he die?

[BraxtonSkate]

@WhiteGuy191 opiate overdose. I believe.

[TheSlickfifty]

@BraxtonSkate opiate toxcivity

[luuis336]

@WhiteGuy191 i was told he died in his sleep , something with his brain i cant remember

[bukaketsunami]

@luuis336 it was a pill overdose

[kyawfghf]

@bukaketsunami it was an opiate overdose

[bukaketsunami]

@kyawfghf pill's are opiates brotha...unless he was on dope which I doubt..

[cydfx123]

@bukaketsunami not all pills are opiates.

[bukaketsunami]

@cydfx123 no shit..most pain pills are which he was probably taking but who knows...

[bdubs360]

@bukaketsunami Study pharmacology and then get back to me

[bukaketsunami]

@bdubs360 ok??...lol

[707Mikeylikesit]

[Onelove4meboo]

[nik3whit3s14]

@Onelove4meboo They say ONE of the best not the best out of all.

[mike93stray]

@MrGrelis17 eyedea felt bad after he used that line man. peace was his idol, he really didn't think it was the truth, he just knew he'd win if he dropped that line.

They brought it up on RSE radio a tribute to eyedea

[mike93stray]

@tornatic021 this is off headshots 6 industrial warfare.

it was the fist song e&a did for the RSE fam

[mike93stray]

@mike93stray hmmmm i probably just your judgment on what headshots album it was off of, they were talking about it one the rse radio tribute. My music library is mainly digital, not hardcopy.

Thanks for the heads up!

[jiclejicle0]

the dumbass had to get high :(

[PetrolDemon]

@jiclejicle0 he didn't abuse drugs. it was prescription opiate for a sleeping disorder. not even overdose.

[sagan1]

@PetrolDemon Where'd you hear that? I've been looking around waiting for that info to be released somewhere

[PetrolDemon]

@sagan1 go on google and type in "the underground poet of st. paul's". It says it was highly likely that he just feel into a deep sleep after sleep-aiding drugs. And it says that he had a "foam matress" that could have suffocated him. Huge Shame. RIP.

[sagan1]

@PetrolDemon thanks, good article!

[jakewareham]

RIP EYEDEA NUGGA

[Beeziepatrol]

OMG every single video you guys talk about how this is real music, and how its underground and not mainstream YES! we fucking know, thats why were listening to it!!! GODDAMN SHUT THE FUCK UP PLEASE, SAY SOMETHING RELEVANT TO THE SONG PLEASE

[SymmetricalSymmetry]

Why cant one of these talentless niggers such as lil wayne or drake die rather than a real talented emcee like Eyedea.

[philbegas]

Not from any album. It's unreleased material from when they were called The Sixth Sense. I talked to Eyedea about it he said he won't release any more of it. Idk if Greg will now that he's dead.

i never really listened to eyedea before his death, now im obsessed. so i guess thats the one good thing that came out of his death. RIP

[LeahisElToker]

HearingEveryRhyme,

you probably wont read this but it's because eventually suburban white kids get they mind brainwashed by it and begin to try to tell people from the hood about how they need to check themselves.

While a white kid who came up in it and is about that life is not brainwashed but uses it to escape because they relate. white suburban kids cant usually relate to the rap they consume themselves in.

[MegaMystique]

How can anyone dislike a philosophical rapper? whoever u three are... better check ur shit. this is gold in rhyme.

[punkyhiphopdood]

RIP mate, you were one of the last of a dying breed.

[FTMStudios]

@punkyhiphopdood a great but the breed is not dying we out here

[nickxclassic]

@punkyhiphopdood no, i write hiphop, lots of people write hiphop, true hiphop artists will never die.

[punkyhiphopdood]

@nickxclassic I know they do, but no offense, I doubt you're anywhere near as good as Eyedea was, hence why I referred to him as one of a dying breed. Few MC's come close to Eyedea's prowess on the mic.

[nickxclassic]

@punkyhiphopdood nope, not flow wise, but lyrics wise i think im gettin there pretty quick. only with positive words and thinking, with practice of course, could someone get to his level. its not that hard.

[punkyhiphopdood]

@nickxclassic If you're confident about your skills then post something up on your channel and I'll give it a listen, always happy to hear good wordplay with positive meaning. There are a handfull of amazing MC's still out there. Slug, Aesop Rock, Sage, Geo, Ra and Macklemore for example. But you can't say it's not hard, these guys worked their asses off to get to where they are.

[nickxclassic]

@punkyhiphopdood oh for sure, totally agree. and i will! im not in any position to make beats for myself, money-wise. so i just make covers. but i'll post up a cover of pain by tupac, or carry me home, by slug. your choice.

[TheRealReQuisite]

@punkyhiphopdood i like, except were not dieing. we are everywhere. there is no way they can stop us.
