Eyedea - "Now I think if I would write a book I would actually write more of an autobiographical thing, you know" Interviewer - "About who?" Eyedea - "About me" lol
+David Ronnow No he said that because eyedea was going to write a book under a pen name... and pretend he was someone else. Was a joke that went over your heads.
This is kinda depressing. I've been listening to Eyedea since he was 15. Sad to see he took the path he did in these years. Looks like he's putting his passion back these days. First Born defined my life from 16-18. Thanks Mike.
@@colehenderson7640 Not that this really matters anymore, or to who's concerned but he was on opiates if not full on Heroin towards the last part of his life, which like so many of us who start out with a pill problem that eventually lead to full on Heroin addiction. It happens all the time, it's been an epidemic for years now and it takes people of every background, location, age, color and status. I'm only stated this because I'm a huge Eyedea fan myself and am still dealing with addiction problems myself, although I'm in an outpatient program now after 11+ years of being an addict. Anyways to make a long story short like you said his mom did say when the Autopsy came out and rumors started floating around that to her knowledge he wasn't on heroin that she knew off, and I'm not sure if she was unaware or ashamed of his habit, in denial or just don't want people out side of his inner circle to know the truth such as his fans who for whatever dumb reason may think that Heroin is now cool or OK to do just because your favorite MC did it, I'm not really sure could be any of those situations, but I know she must have her reasons. I too wasn't 100 sure until I really started digging around the internet, reading/watching interviews, videos, with alot of people who knew him other than his mom saying he did indeed have an addition problem, even Abilities says it on The World Has No Eyedea Outtakes that are up here on UA-cam, talking about a intervention that was planned for him and him being in such a bad state. Then there's his on and off again long time girlfriend/best friend Manchita of GrrlParty who also says carefully in an interview that she was trying to help him with his heroin addiction, and she actually does a song "Captain" I believe which she dedicates to him that they co-wrote together from each other perspectives, him trying to help her with depression and her trying to help him through addiction. Before that song starts off she is very open about the subject and explains this although I think she doesn't say Eyedea by that name, but that's who shes talking about, anyone can put 2 and 2 together watching that video. I have the link to both of the interview and the video, if doubts are brought up, but it is on the internet if someone was to really research the subject, like I did myself because I was confused and relating to his addiction trough is music but I was being told one thing and hearing the exact opposite from the man himself, as well as many others closest to him. Further more even without all this internet proof, just listen to his last few albums and guest features, Carbon Carousel, When In Rome, and especially his final album By The Throat is all about it and addiction in general, and anyone who's been there will tell you that's exactly what he's been talking about, Sky Diver & Hay Fever in particular on By The Throat. Also many of his later year features he constantly talks about either, needles, IVs/IVing, methadone, morphine, Suboxone, Vicodin, shooting up/rush(es), pin pricks, dope sickness withdrawals ect ect, the whole song "Perfect Medicine" is also all about opiate use, if not Heroin in general. Then there's Chemical Burns with Sadistik, his last released and foretellling track he clearly says "Suboxone Under My Tongue" well Suboxone is the same medication I'm on right now for opiate/heroin addiction and will be for some time to come. Suboxone is a pill/strip prescribed to help an opiate/heroin addict stay clean and function in everyday life without being dope sick from opiate withdrawals. It's all there in his lyrics and very plain to see, if you really pay attention to what he's saying, the state of mind he was in and where he's coming from, even in his last few years of live videos, you can just see it especially in "The City Of Music Video" , he's just so fucked up and not from just Pabts Blue Ribbon. There was a 4 part Freestyle with Mike Shank & Kristoff Krane E&A Studios video (It's now just the audio on UA-cam) that mentions many of these things, only Kristoff freestyling them with Mikey laughing in the back ground when they are mentioned and I guess the visual was actually taken down after his death because he looked so strung out and people were putting 2 and 2 together. There's just so many clues, lyrics and facts I could name unfortunately, but it's all really there in black n white. But no judgement on you or others who remain to think differently, yours/theirs, like this is just my opinion, but I just had to chime in here somewhere on UA-cam, with so many people fighting over he wasn't an addict or he was. Cause I too at 1 point just had my own assumptions and took Kathy's word for it, until I really looked into it and found what I belive to be the truth, he just drops so many hints after hints endlessly really and for the last 4 or so years of his life, almost every song has some mention of the above. It's just what he was dealing with apparently. But on a more positive note, I really do think personally that he was trying to get it under control, after all he was so smart and being that one of the last songs he recorded was "Chemical Burns" and the with the whole Suboxone talk it goes to tell us he was at least trying to break free of his addiction and understood the dire consequences. Because much like Methadone which he also mentions in the track "Junk" it helps the addict to maintain sobriety and slowly ease off your inevitable withdrawals from opiate abuse more comfortably. There's just so many things to list to prove that unfortunately he was a user and more than likely it took up a great deal of his energy, time, his one of a kind mind and possibly in the end his life. It may have just been his regular sleeping pills that took him but he had an addiction problem to opiates obviously but Regardless will think of his personal demons he will forever be remembered as a true lyrical genius, thinker, philosopher, musician and overall of the nicest down to earth people to ever inhabit this planet who was way beyond his years and one of the best to ever do it period. And being an addict or not makes him no less of a man or a great musician. We all have flaws, he just wore his on his sleeve, and like everyone else this planet he wasn't perfect, he was a human being and we shouldn't think or look at him any less!!! R.Eye.P. ForEver In Paradise Mikey!!!!
@@dboudro7297 this was so beautifully written and totally spot on. I understand people want to be in denial about his addiction, but there's undeniable proof that he not only used heroin, but that he was most definitely slamming it, too. I've seen literally all his interviews and he makes so many references to shooting up, he talks about it even when it's a metaphor for something else . I remember seeing one interview on here where he's talking about his philosophical views and life in general, and he says something along about people putting their view of existing in a needle and just taking it all in at once, or something along the lines of that. he uses shooting up as a metaphor quite a bit.. and that is just not something that people who would never shoot up, do drugs or did would even think of using as a way to describe something. I dont understand why people can't just accept the fact that he was a heroin addict. there's such a stigma surrounding addiction, heroin in particular, and that's gotta change. as for his mom coming out and saying he wasn't an addict, who knows exactly the reasoning behind it. but people seem to not be taking into account that that's coming from his MOTHER. I know it took my own mom years to find out that I was using. that's not exactly a wonderful or easy thing to admit to anyone at all, let alone your parent. anyways, you really couldn't have worded the situation any better. if people do the research for themselves, the proof is there. it's heartbreaking, because he was a literal genius, way too good for this world. the one thing that brings me solace, though, is with how much he struggled, the amount of pain he was in, I know that at least now he's finally at peace. 🖤 reincarnated as rain 🌧️ ps. I'd love to see the that interview you were talking about from his ex girlfriend!
Thank you for the kind words, Here is the link to the interview with his in and off again long time girlfriend blog.thecurrent.org/2015/11/the-o-k-show-episode-8-manchita-on-feminism-rapping-and-her-relationship-with-eyedea/
Sad seeing him talk about addiction. Especially since he feels that bringing it up is "weird" and that it should stay in his music. If he were still alive I hope he would have talked about addiction in his book
I will miss you alongside everyone else who had their hearts and heads expanded and improved by your brilliant and innovative music. One of the best to touch a mic and geniuses to wield a pen. My love goes to the Larsen family and to all of his fans. Met him in NYC this summer... every bit as esoteric, quirky and yet down to earth as you'd think. he took my cd and we talked music and philosophy. Phenomenal performer and human being. Listening to Hay Fever, he died in fall too, so weird.
When you met him and we're talkin with him did you have any foreboding or weird feelings at all that he didn't have much longer to live . Or was there a sense of hope about him , instead .
"I've always had this habit of making sure that I always screw myself as far as carreer is concerned." And that, ladies and gentlemen, is why you go underground as far as rap is concerned, that's where you find the real shit made by people who don't give a fuck what anyone thinks of it. That's art.
Love that album cover so much.. I keep saving it whenever I see it. I look at it as social anxiety/paranoia. What you have to face to go out into the world sometimes.
as i said in part1: I dont think i have never seen a artist being so truthful! brilliant rapper, brilliant mind.... brilliant guy! we'll miss you. be at peace!
he meant to say the fourth wall i believe. i searched for what he said years ago and i only found what led me here, again. read about this a couple weeks ago, and now i do it once more, my suns!
3:00, he said it very well. 3:45 as well. Lots of stuff in general. Did he mention Cannibal Corpse at all in the interview when talking about metallica / metal music? I saw the album art and was wondering
@SCAenterprises I talked to him at RTB in 2009, he was like a normal dude, except he was incredibly smart and he was so friendly, I felt like I really knew him. Great guy imo :)
I had the pleasur of meeting eyedea before his passing . actually it was a show @ the farm krisstoff the save yourself tour anyways I bumme a cig of eyedea and just wanted to say thanks Michael u are the sickest
@Atmossucks Not guaranteed to be oxy, it was opiate toxicity, but that can include an accidental overdose due to a mixture of opiates and other drugs that may inhibit the proper metabolizing of opiates.
I'm someone who watched the interview? I don't particularly care if he's "star struck" or not, but I'd say the interviewer seemed, at best, only loosely interested in being there and talking to him. Frankly the majority of it seemed painfully awkward and fairly stale for me. But, if you enjoyed it, that's wonderful and I'm glad for you.
R. EYE. P. (get it? I substituted the "i" in RIP for "eye" because that was his name. It was "eyedea" instead of "idea" so I basically did the same thing. I pulled the ol' switcheroo. I'm so clever!)
R. EYE. P. (get it? I substituted the "i" in RIP for "eye" because that was his name. It was "eyedea" instead of "idea" so I basically did the same thing. I pulled the ol' switcheroo. I'm so clever!)
@scotchvelo I was thinking that, too...but I sorta wanna give him the benefit of the doubt and wonder if he was referring to Eyedea's different characters.
It's insane to think of how many people would do anything to be able to just lay on the grass and talk bullshit with this man, especially when this interviewer is very possibly taking this whole thing for granted. That realization brings a special kind of hurt, I think.
@SCAenterprises If you notice he said that part about keeping someone from sticking needles in their arms...yea probably not heroin considering that this interview was just a year before his death. He wasn't known to be a frequent user of opiates. Regardless of his using habits, it was sad to see him go. it doesn't matter which form of opiate killed him, his consciousness no longer inhabits his body but we can still all listen to his music.
This one guy here I think on this vid in the comments section by the name of Jack the Ripper a long thing about him saying that Eyedea's girlfriend and other people were saying that Yes actually he was doing heroin aside from prescription painkillers and that he had a real problem with the heroin and had also been doing Suboxone and other things to help him get off his addiction... he gave a link to an interview with the girlfriend and said if you do your digging around on the internet you will find a lot of proof that he actually was doing those drugs
@yamahaboy57 Nobody knows for sure but I think it was Heroin. If you watched the first part of the interview, he said he spent all of his money on "secret stuff" and im not for sure but its my eyedea
@SCAenterprises yeah yeah i feel the same way. we exchanged a few words at the merch table a few months before he passed, and im really glad i at least got to see him play, but i just wish i would have had a real conversation with him. and now i cant. anyways at least this guy was a very good interviewer. i was getting pissed watching all of these interviews just asking stupid questions. Oh and im sure eating mushrooms with this cat would be a great time lol.
@abdiriginal It was ruled accidental based on the scene, plus the fact that he had a bunch of new gigs that he was bragging about right before. He came home from a bar, so he probably drank and mixed it with the opiates.
yes, he had a lot to drink the night he died. I've only seen him like that twice. the night of and another night in 2005ish he was drunk. he did the ms150 bike ride - his exhaustion exacerbated the booze. mikey was my friend. sadly, the last time I saw him was right after I got out of treatment and he was so proud of my sobriety. it's painful to recall.

Eyedea is so underrated it disturbs me. He will always be one of the greatest in my opinion. Sucks hes gone... rest in peace michael eyedea larsen
Love the right people is what he meant.
She just got robbed of 10 worth of jewelry lmao
I'm honestly glad he's gone. He can't taint his catalog with any more of that emo-rock trash he was putting out.
@@salazam dude you obviously were never a true fan to discount him so swiftly just because his rock venture was 'face candy' to your ears.
But Eyedea is alive I saw some signs near where I live, there were signs saying EYEDEA IS ALIVE
Eyedea - "Now I think if I would write a book I would actually write more of an autobiographical thing, you know"
Interviewer - "About who?"
Eyedea - "About me"
lol
SonnyShadow Eyedea thought "you know what autobiography means right?"
+David Ronnow No he said that because eyedea was going to write a book under a pen name... and pretend he was someone else. Was a joke that went over your heads.
@@wushboon882 yeah cause pretending to be someone else is definitely an autobiography 😆
@@Pandemonium-ms6qd he's right bro. It was just a joke.
@@EthosF4ded lol no shit
R.I.P. Michael "Eyedea" Larsen. Your music has changed my life even though you're gone.
:}thats what he wamted i believe
"by the throat" is one of the best records i ever listened to..
absolutely
Its like evertime i listen to this interview i hear something new.
This is kinda depressing. I've been listening to Eyedea since he was 15. Sad to see he took the path he did in these years.
Looks like he's putting his passion back these days. First Born defined my life from 16-18. Thanks Mike.
Had he lived longer , he woulda realized and changed for the better later on life
eyedea is so genuine and REALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
r.i.p i can only imagine what hip hop would have for us if you were still alive.
Respect from Greece to this guy. You saved people. You are the greatest emcee ever walked on Earth
glad this interview exists, wish we had the uncut version, too
I deal SO much with regret, I spend hours cringing over the past few years. It's good to hear Eyedea recognize this/
Same brother. I hope you've been able to make urself proud over the years
Sad hearing him talk about addiction. considering that's what killed him. I know about that myself - "without going into detail".
187jacktheripper Kathy his mother made a statement , he died of an accidental overdose. And it wasn’t heroin . It was his pills he took daily
Better than being addicted to Hello Kitty and dressing up like a weeb for comicon like 187jacktheripper does.

i could listen to him talk for hours, chilled out, funny and incredibly smart.
Miss you Mikey
his style is so unique, i mean you cant really call it hip-hop, he has his own genre in the world of generic music. Eyedea was brilliant
Damn this comment is 10 years old.
sooooooooooooo pissed i cant see this guy live. R.I.P. bra, your message lives on...

The world lost an amazing poet, he understood the people he was trying to reach. Sad at the thought at what could have been.
We love you, Mikey!!!❤
What a telling interview this was... RIP Oliver Heart
I really wish the book he spoke of in the start was finished!!!!

I hate myself for not being able to have a conversation with this dude before he died....

It's insane to think of how many people would do anything to be able to just lay on the grass and talk bullshit with this man, especially when this interviewer is very possibly taking this whole thing for granted. That realization brings a special kind of hurt, I think.
had he started his biography...? R.I.P.
@SCAenterprises If you notice he said that part about keeping someone from sticking needles in their arms...yea probably not heroin considering that this interview was just a year before his death. He wasn't known to be a frequent user of opiates. Regardless of his using habits, it was sad to see him go. it doesn't matter which form of opiate killed him, his consciousness no longer inhabits his body but we can still all listen to his music.
HearingEveryRhyme ev7ery time not a line devine out of time just walk on in peace and rest
This one guy here I think on this vid in the comments section by the name of Jack the Ripper a long thing about him saying that Eyedea's girlfriend and other people were saying that Yes actually he was doing heroin aside from prescription painkillers and that he had a real problem with the heroin and had also been doing Suboxone and other things to help him get off his addiction... he gave a link to an interview with the girlfriend and said if you do your digging around on the internet you will find a lot of proof that he actually was doing those drugs
:( You were taken too soon Michael! I miss you!
r EYE p with the angels.
I actually thought the interviewer did a good job. Don't need to criticize everything.
people like these, you never find because they're already gone.
Love you!
@HearingEveryRhyme i know dude i fucking wish i coulda just talked to him for a couple of minutes. feel like shit knowing hes gone
Wish he would of kept oliver hart..
Actually it was me. :)
Brother Ali on tha background niceeeeee
@yamahaboy57 Nobody knows for sure but I think it was Heroin. If you watched the first part of the interview, he said he spent all of his money on "secret stuff" and im not for sure but its my eyedea
he was workin on a follow up. kathy will release it soon enough.
does eyedea look exactly like cage or is it just me?
Person from 12 years ago, Eyedea was a big Cage fan
yeah, but a book wouldve made us seen way deeper into what he is than a song, yes, a song does the same but not as much as a book would
doesn't he mean 'breaking the FOURTH wall'?
@DexyzLozada he asking if he was an angsty teen. Esta preguntar si Eyedea era un joven enojado y el lo dice "no". Im sorry i talk mostly english
@SCAenterprises yeah yeah i feel the same way. we exchanged a few words at the merch table a few months before he passed, and im really glad i at least got to see him play, but i just wish i would have had a real conversation with him. and now i cant. anyways at least this guy was a very good interviewer. i was getting pissed watching all of these interviews just asking stupid questions. Oh and im sure eating mushrooms with this cat would be a great time lol.
@abdiriginal It was ruled accidental based on the scene, plus the fact that he had a bunch of new gigs that he was bragging about right before. He came home from a bar, so he probably drank and mixed it with the opiates.
yes, he had a lot to drink the night he died. I've only seen him like that twice. the night of and another night in 2005ish he was drunk. he did the ms150 bike ride - his exhaustion exacerbated the booze. mikey was my friend. sadly, the last time I saw him was right after I got out of treatment and he was so proud of my sobriety. it's painful to recall.
@iOpacity hahahahahahaha that made me laugh my ass off too. "auto-bio"... ... .."about who?!?" ... ... ..."Derp Derpington obviously..."
rock the bells on shrooms O.O mind fuckin bllown
