It is 7 a.m. I am a 20 years old male, I've been on my own for 3 and a half years... I cried last night because I had to call the police because my drunken neighbor was beating his daughter... Sometimes life is so horrible... But Eyedea makes sense... The rhymesayers make sense... They speak truth about a world getting darker every day... But they saw the dusty light... The last happiness in this world. Connecting with our fellow peoples and being happy as we can be.... Thank you Eyedea RIP
You could say maybe he had a pretty damn good...idea? Then having some dope ass Abilities to back him up.... ok ill stop with the dad jokes now. I know Michael woulda found it funny. RIP Eyedea 💚
the fact that this is all off the top is absolutely amazing. this is what hip hop is actually about... not about black and white..not about whos gangsta and who is soft... its about the purest form of unflitered expression.
“So I’ll explain why your light isn’t holding up to the sun. Why I’m alright, even tho I’m over done. Why I feel like I’m alive even tho I’m numb” eyedea just freestyling some of the best bars ever recorded.
@@andyzagray7962there is no dark side of the moon, really. As a matter of fact, it's all dark. Remember that the moon is only bright cause it reflects the sunshine.
Michael is hands down my favorite artist, it also brings tears to my eyes knowing I could never meet or even experience his presence. I embrace every song everyday.
*And I don't know what to do about him* *Can't give him advice* *Cause I don't really have shit to tell anybody about life* *Cause if they looked at me and followed my device* *They'd be stuck in my same crisis graspin' on to light* It's kind of crazy to think that so many people actually have received so much help from Eyedea's music and he may have honestly never expected that. Truly an amazing individual. So humble.
I was told this whole album was a freestyle. To even imagine... The best artist I've ever came across...RIP EYEDEA Making impacts from beyond the grave.
Discovered Eyedea today for the first time while surfing LiveLeak. Thank you so much to this channel for sharing these 15 minutes of absolute genius. What a shame he passed so soon. "The Light that burns twice as bright burns only half as long..."
It's difficult to listen to this while I do homework. Or rather to do homework while I listen to this. It wakes me up to reality and I lose all interest in productivity unless it's talking to myself in my sub-vocalization; which isn't really productive. Not that I care.
Sounds like you are onto something...fall into that feeling that nothing really matters. And the funny thing is that nothing matters and that somehow makes everything beautiful. From just breathing to the wind hitting your face. Lol its crazy.
Welcome to the awakening.....get rid of this old religion....we are a generation that see the mechanics of what our predecessors created and we are not impressed....we will be the ones to change the perception of the world....once everyone pre 90s have passed on the world will only step forward from there...right now it seems we have to fix what's been created and relearn...
I will always come back and play this when i want to feel close to Micheal Larsen as a person. He left so much here and i want to thank whoever recorded, and then who saved, and then who posted this for the world. You've done a great thing . Thank you!!
Honestly these 15 minutes and one second have been with me through more than anything any person could even begin to comprihend or even I Could comprihend come to think of it. shit. This EP means the world to me.
Breaks my heart man. I remember when my friend Matt told me... I can't believe I've made it to 30 and he didn't... REYEP I fuckin love you man. Thank you uploader I have no idea where you got this, but thank you. Dead me til I'm over.
The fact 2018 is 6 years ago already is fucking me up. Post 2012 was all Eyedea, Abilities, Aesop Rock, Slug, Prof, Homeboy Sandman, Busdriver, .. Lyricism. Poetry. Bars.
I agree, EYEDEA is more alive than ever right now!!! Mikey is not one who would want someone to compare anyone or thing to him..He wants you all, we all make connections!!!!!!!
Just stumbled across this, have never heard it before. I have been a long time fan of Eyedea, his music has has made a major impact my life. That rhyme before the 10 minute mark, wow. He still gives me the chills.
R. EYE. P Mikey and R. I. P Mommy. It must be sheer coincidence or by design that my mom passed on October 23rd 2022. This song has a profoundly deeper meaning, forever heartbroken. Rest easy, and cheers to my fellow gents. Over and out.
All music has a message that can only be heard by the ones who choose to access their higher understanding. Even if the artists don't realize that its there. Embrace the hate, let em say what they have to say, because without hate, the love of the message wouldn't exist. Some artists decide to come out an say it, because the "ones" who know, who accept the truth,the ones who openly accept answer to the riddle, appreciate the straightforwardness of the message. Hate is love. :)
there's a untold back story that eminem was bitting other mc lyrics at the start of his career, witch helped him get more recognized. Then dr dre happened and everyone knows the rest.
I fold a bill I know what's real Gold Rush Adrenaline rush, just a pill Touch the ceil...ing Fuck your feel...ings Your just a puppet string now kneel ing Melting down the candle wax and i can't handle that i'm damaged back jumping on a camels back i don't understand the facts The planets flat that's why i don't believe in the round Circular while i'm leaving it down perpendicular to believing in sound i'm leaving it now i bleed in a frown but i achieve a new smile every time that i climb up pull another trick up my sleeve i'm a child that believes in magic still it's not a tragic accident that happened it's just a rapid skill firing out of my neuron connections you're on something that your off of so what's next man? I love Michael Larsen.
Eyedea i just found out about him today too. I seen the compilation of his freestyle battles. I think hes better than eminem by far. Eyedea died of a drug overdose doe,sadly. This guy is real rap. Listen to ode to hip hop, shadows have shadows those are 2 i just listented.to.and. been havin them on repeat R.EYE.P gone but never forgotten
Kyle Ford Well you have a lot to find and listen to. Including his rock and acoustic stuff. And Face Candy. Btw this whole video is a freestyle if you didn't know. Also check out Kristoff Krane. He's kind of like Eyedea's pupil :D
You sure it was only 15 copies? He was flipping crayola labeled prints of this, along with the poetry book from a backpack at Taste the summer before he passed.
The 47 people that disliked this must not like music. Or free thinking, spoken word, off the top best freestyle rap. I wish I had went to that last paid dues. Fuuuuuuuc
3 best rappers. Eyedea, Oliver Hart, and Michael Larsen
Alek Mellen Larsen' but totally agreed
Forgot Micheal'
+Alek Mellen Hart*
Thanks guys haha, my b!
+Alek Mellen I dont know if its because im not sober but ummmm thats the same person
It rained today, i felt you.

Damn crazy. Hopefully it's all good. But in the end it's going to be ok. Death is a portal, just the beginning I think.
Bottled Dreams, Eyedea
I'm trying to be me.. as much as my drink let's me.. my hangover might kill me but I believe I'll be better because of it
☮️✝️☯️ I hear yah, I know your comment was written a few yrs bk but I do Very much relate to you.

Nobody ever spoke to me as a musician like Michael Larson. Nobody. And nobody ever will.
Me too man. I wish I could’ve met him
R.EYE.P gone but never forgotten
I will always come back and play this when i want to feel close to Micheal Larsen as a person. He left so much here and i want to thank whoever recorded, and then who saved, and then who posted this for the world. You've done a great thing . Thank you!!
Eyedea is the truth!! He speaks of awakening...seek your soul! Listen to all their lyrics closely.
Absolutely
Why the fuck isn’t this man a legend all over the world???
Honestly these 15 minutes and one second have been with me through more than anything any person could even begin to comprihend or even I Could comprihend come to think of it. shit. This EP means the world to me.
Bro he’s one of the greatest artists never known
i've been listening to eyedea all morning and it just brought me to fucking tears knowing that i will never have the chance to meet him.
I think the worst is knowing you never able to tell him how much he has helped all these people
21 people have no eyedea
Make that 47
Eyedea... you know me so well
Best freestyles know to the human race can be found HERE!!!
I'd buy this if I could....and until the universe aligns me with this material wish I will listen to it non stop where ever I can...
Rest in peace, friend. I was here for you. All you had to do was ask, man.
Fuck I always come back around this time of year
my man Eyedea. blessed to see him freestyle and interview him.

No doubt, he has a song called 'ode to the wall'... Instrumental, maybe it's all Abilities...

This is the best and quietest area of the internet I've seen.
the fact that there is a pink floyd sample in this completes it.
It’s October 23 2020 and I came to listen to this
October 23rd my dad's birthday RIP dad
I come back every now and then
I owe it to Eyedea for opening up my eyedeas...
*LONG LIVE EYEDEA*
Nice I remember when this had maybe 10000 views so EPIC. Respect the Emcee, Increase the Peace
thank god he didn't sell out like slim shady did. they say the best humans possess lots of different personalities and eyedea was one of those
how did em sell out
there's a untold back story that eminem was bitting other mc lyrics at the start of his career, witch helped him get more recognized. Then dr dre happened and everyone knows the rest.
Yea eminem's a legend.
The 4th track, I can relate to it today more than I ever have before.
damn lyrical fire
I know we're all like trippin on how amazing these tracks are but I gotta say, FUCK that is a sick picture hahaha
I fold a bill
I know what's real
Gold Rush
Adrenaline rush, just a pill
Touch the ceil...ing
Fuck your feel...ings
Your just a puppet string now kneel ing
Melting down the candle wax and i can't handle that
i'm damaged back jumping on a camels back i don't understand the facts
The planets flat
that's why i don't believe in the round
Circular while i'm leaving it down
perpendicular to believing in sound
i'm leaving it now
i bleed in a frown
but i achieve a new smile every time that i climb up pull another trick up my sleeve i'm a child that believes in magic still
it's not a tragic accident that happened it's just a rapid skill
firing out of my neuron connections
you're on something that your off of so what's next man?
I love Michael Larsen.
R.eye.P wish you were still writing today love you
he handed me this cd at the chicago show.
Still got it?
Yo? Heyo? We would love an answer, op.... don't keep us hanging.
I always come back to this when I feel I got no hope left
perfection.
It never fails,every year someone says that they heard this song in oct.23.
This is incredible... speechless
