  • Michael Larson helps to keep my head above water. A tiny drain in the bloody sea of insanity this world feeds us. A true inspiration.

  • @geomon22 *Larsen.. im an idiot

  • @geomon22 Michael Larsen** im an idiot

  • @Kazper613 aye u know wat nigga your right! ayo fuck Baxxter101! that nigga can eat a dick! !

  • @Kazper613 and @Baxxter101

    Why must we fight when we can get along? Were all brothers and sisters here.. Mikey is dead and if he were around he wouldnt want people argueing over beliefs about him.. lets be an example and do what most men dont do.. its ok to have egos even when we dont realize it.. the error is human.. Lets remind eachother how to smile not frown

  • @MadSteveo957 I'll smile regardless, but that's not going to stop me from shaking my head at people who make false accusations about a dead man, sorry. That's how rumors start and names get tarnished.

  • "One day it's all gonna shatter and I hope you're still here. I do. And If I'm lucky enough I'll be here too."

  • FUCKKKKKKK hes so cute <3

    i think hes so handsome..

  • I am so pissed. My friend said he saw Eyedea live back in '08, and I was questioning him about it, cause I was so amazed that he saw him live, but all he said was "I didn't know him. I went with a friend, he kinda sucked. I just went to the concert cause there was nothing else to do, and my friend had an extra ticket" Worst of all him and his friend were front fucking row. I hate people like that who don't appreciate a gem, like Eyedea. I wish I took his place, cause at least I would cherish it.

  • Am I alone in thinking his death was a well planned, long thought out suicide? I mean... Accidental (*perscribed*) opiate overdose!? ... No... He was as done as Jesus was. I guess it sucks gaining cosmic understanding accidentally...

  • @Baxxter101 Unless, Eyedea just didn't care. Maybe he was just like whatever happens, happens. I don't know if it was suicide because in interviews, and his songs, he encouraged people to live, he said "'We all need to live this life" in a interview, so I don't know, but maybe your right, but I think he just was really careless thinking that amount of meds wouldn't kill him, or he was like whatever happens, happens.

  • @BrunetteBabe1005 I can see what you mean, where you're coming from, and I agree. But consider that most artists reflect the reality they wish was actually real... That is to say they see and create alternate possibilities.

    I don't think it was what would be called a conscious "suicide" so much as I think it was an action taken in a moment of a "fuck this life" mentality... Frustration.

    I don't think he meant to die, or was careless, I just think he didn't care either way anymore. Got zen.

  • @BrunetteBabe1005 yeah also... I just realized everything I just said seems to go against everything I said originally... Funny how that works. My point was I can see how someone could know they are manifesting their own death and still do it anyway. The word "plan" was the wrong word to use in the original post...

  • @BrunetteBabe1005 might be milking it at this point... But I've been thinking about this song and the situation quite a bit over the past few days...

    The reason I lean against the "total accident" view is that I've been there... I've done that experiment with the same drugs, and, shamefully a number of others as well...

    I never intended to die. But I did not really care or even consider it at the time.

    In terms of experience, the possibility of "death" simply did not matter anymore...

  • @Baxxter101 That's really sad, sorry to hear about that, but you do have a valid point. It's really sad how we as humans, can't value the beauty of life, because of the hard challenges, that life throws at us.

  • @Baxxter101 You're a fucking moron. He was an insomniac. It was an accidental overdose on opiates in sleeping pills. Seriously, kill that shit about experimenting with drugs.

  • @Kazper613 sure thing man. Cause you knew him so well and shit right? Insomnia is one thing, but it doesn't undo countless references to Krishnamurti, Watts, Campbell, and other transcendental thinkers who also contemplated what has been called "the only real philosophical question" google it bitch.

    The fact that so many of you supposed 'fans' deny the possibility; not that he chose, but that he was open to the idea of leaving this realm of conscious by ones own will is disappointing at best.

  • @Kazper613 One of my best friends from childhood actually just died on Saturday. She had Cystic Fibrosis and was un-diagnosed until age 3... Growing up she spent 4-5 months a year in the hospital and wasn't expected to live to 5, or 10, or 15... or 20... or 25... She died at 30. She spent her entire conscious life hyper aware of her mortality.

    To assume Eyedea was clinging to life as desperately as I'm sure you do, is to not see the whole picture. She taught me to live until it is time.

  • @Kazper613 I dunno man... You're entitled to your view as much as I am mine, but I can't see why you're so hostile to the notion. Dude was obviously in philosophical and spiritual pain since he hit the scene... What gets me is how when I say things like "maybe he wasn't a retard" most people automatically assume suicide is supposed to be this huge dramatic "look at me I was sad and you didn't care blah blah blah" act, when really its just the ultimate letting go. Turning off of the Nintendo.

  • @Baxxter101 Wow, do yourself a favor and pay attention to any interview with him, about him, dedicated to him, or talk to somebody who's met him in person. It doesn't take a philosopher to realize Micheal cherished life and respected the inspiration he gave towards others because of his existence. You need some serious help, and I say that with with purity towards your outlook on life. You don't need to believe in suicide to understand it.

  • @Kazper613 and it doesn't take a genius to understand that to cherish something is not the same as clinging to it... To cherish is to let go. I appreciate your egos concern about my outlook on life and death, but I must point out and perhaps remind you of the old saying, "if you love something, let it go"

    And for the record, I'm not saying that he "killed himself" in the same sense as Cobain or Dwyer... I'm just saying he knew he might die and did it anyways... Why is that so hard?

  • @Baxxter101 You're still a moron. You're comparing life to a women's love and proposing the idea of letting go of a women, and letting go of your will to live as an equal. The fact remains the same regardless of how corrupt you see it. Eyedea was never into hardcore drugs, and certainly never an addict. Just ask anyone who ever offered to smoke him up before or after a set, and quit posting on every video like he was some sort of heroin addict.

  • @Kazper613 Considering that his death was opiate related, and there are very few people who can take opiates not become addicts, I'm not exactly sure you know what you're talking about. How can you listen to "By The Throat" and not hear the story of a battle with addiction?

  • I wish he was still here..

  • @MattTheFlyDude He is still here. He will always still be here, in the present, along with everyone who has ever existed and everyone who will ever exist. Eyedea was awake to reality and its nature; listen to his lyrics, meditate on what he is saying, they will help you understand. Listen to First Born in its entirety with the lyrics at hand.

  • @kentj7 Wow. That was really deep. I believe he is still here in spirit also, I just wish he was here also in the flesh.

  • I'm gunna run from the voice of reason till it turns to laughter.

  • These lyrics are deep and Ironic, wish he could have changed his life before it was too late. rip.

  • This is amazing, he is amazing, especially from 2:25 to 2:50 He gets so into it. Why did he have to die?

  • I can't believe he's dead... So so unfair

  • They realize his greatness because he grew up on those streets...

  • he goes into a trance and his feelings just spew out

  • @Gavernty Yep. Right around the one minute mark, he just morphs, like he transcends to a different plane of consciousness. He grabs back onto reality around 1:30 and then just totally lets go of it around 2:25.

    It's always inspiring to watch him perform.

  • Does the crowd realize the lyrical genius they are lucky to see?

    Rest in Paradise Eyedea... Bringing intellectual hip-hop to the masses...

    Thanks for everything you've done E.

  • It sounds like hes crying at 2:40 roflmao

    RIP Eyedea

  • GOD DAMNIT IM SO FUCKING MAD THAT I DIDNT TAKE IN THE ONLY TIME I SAW EYEDEA AND ABILITIES LIVE!!!- I DIDNT REALIZE!!! I DIDNT KNOW THAT THAT WOULD BE THE ONLY TIME I WOULD EVER SEE HIM!- WHAT A BLESSING!- AND I DIDNT APPRECIATE IT TOO THE FULL EXTENT! R.I.P

  • Stickman is right.

    It's funny how all of us can feel Eyedea's every word and/or get chills just from watching this video and the crowd looks like they're performing for mannequins.

    If you haven't seen the 'sky diver' performance, check that out as well. Amazing.

  • Comment removed

  • It's a shame that no one that was close to him saw him deteriorate.

  • @jcatak

    what do you mean homie? he had plenty of good friends who knew what was going on. think about how hard it is to change your self and then you'll get a good idea of how hard it is to change some one else. but any loss of talent like this is definitely a shame. much love

  • Eyedea kind of looks like either Dimitri Martin or a shaved Jon Lajoie in this video, anybody notice that?

  • i hate how on this video which is an amazing performance of someone who has passed away, the top comment is soulja boy sucks ass. wow

  • @yaboo09 seriously... it got a down vote from me.. we can take it off there you know

  • absolutely drugged out of his mind.... amazing performance though

  • Id love to be the spit on microphone in this video. notgay

  • why do people like mac miller? give this guy a listen, forget all these shitty white rappers. This guy is a legend

  • the people in the crowd dont understand how lucky they are to have seen this

  • @Stickman32692

    If I could like this comment a billion times, it wouldn't be enough.

  • @Stickman32692

    If I could like this comment a billion times, it wouldn't be enough.

  • @Stickman32692 Maybe eyedea just sucked IRL but was a fucking GOD when seen from afar...

  • 2:09 "One day it's gonna shatter and i hope you're still here, I do! If I'm lucky enough I'll be here too" Woah, that one hurt. Rest In Poetry and Rhyme In Paradise Eyedea

  • @TheMITCH316 no what hurt was how you saw him laughing after he said it....he had to have known what was coming...

  • @glass509 i know, I went on this to be in recreation of his talent and then blam that whole scene happened and i am seriously down now

  • Words cannot describe how much I love and miss you. RIP Eyedea.

  • Mr. Larsin, I deeply respect your art;

    Your music has made my weep abjectly;

    But I think where you ended, I shall take my start.

    Though life is often dire, you must never let anything extinguish your fire.

  • Much better then the album cersion all the emotion love it!!!

  • Amazing to say their mom was my teacher a few years back the best teacher I ever had she got me into this type of music

  • What's up with these comments saying that "HE'S" gone. Where are "Y'all" at, because yall havent done a shit from beginning up to now. Please dont say that it's because of lacking hip-hop image. Hip-Hop is 98% monotonic and lacking in fullness. Compared to THOSE trashes, this is on the different level. all the "fan" of HIP-HOP Bass should go listen to some other shit. Because us "supporters" dont give a fuckk.

  • @jojoonyoung I recommend yall go listen to some Soulja Boy.

  • @Youaregayprobley, i miss the champ to lol.. he was freestyling it bad ass..

  • HAHHA the crowd

  • What happen to him? i miss the scribble jam and blaze battle Champ
