- I was fortunate enough to meet Eyedea in person back in 2008 when he performed at Knitting Factory in NYC and ask him what advice he had for other underground artists.
It was "weird" editing footage of someone who has passed away. He was rockin' "Eyedea is Dead" tshirt. A self-fulfilling prophecy from a mad genius? You decide. He will be missed by many. Rest In Peace.
A lot of my encounters with Eyedea were physical. He dove off the stage and kicked me in the head at one show. Walked out into the crowd and shook me yelling "dance dude" at another show. The last show I saw, he signed my lighter, took 2 pictures, and hugged me.
I miss him.
Eyedea's words are so wise. Don't let this interview disappear from youtube. Favorited.
"You have anything to promote?"
"Nothing about me.......just......love people."
R.I.P. Eyedea
i could listen to this guy talk for hours, would have given anything to be able to chill with him, even if its just for 5mins.
i owe a lot to him, amazing man. one hell of a mind.
thanks eyedea. we will never forget
Wow.. Thank you for posting this. I can relate to Michael so much in his attitude and mindset, except i still have a lot to learn. We all miss you Eyedea
Thank you for posting this.
Thank you for archiving most of eyedeas career.
You helped me find so much of his shit
"once you're old enough to sit with yourself." wise words... none of my friends ever understood why I took acid alone.
Eyedea has been one of my biggest inspirations in writing and philosophy, his aptitude toward the greats is truly aspiring, he sampled so many great songs and many pink floyd songs in his music, i envy you for meeting this man, i feel like i could have really connected with him, i have so many questions that will forever go unanswered,
thanks for posting this! such a beautiful soul he had.
"LOVE PEOPLE" thats all that really matters, and I will Mikey!
I find his t shirt really haunting in this.
thank you SO much for posting this
Thank you!
eyedea really helped me through some rough times in life. R.i.p buddy
The most influential person to my life. R.EYE.P, you will be missed, but an eyedea will live on :')
cant believe hes gone. rest in peace michael.
"You just said that twice" :D
R.I.P Eyedea ):
love people
What a beautiful person.
God, Eyedea seems like he was such a friendly guy. Wish I could have met him at least once.
The fucking greatest man. 🫡
I love that man.
Love this guy. R EYE P.
LOVE people.
@UseHERname93 yes, it's Homeboy Sandman indeed. He went on stage with P.SO before Eyedea that night.
Is that Homeboy Sandman vibin in the crowd at :43 ?????
Thats nice to see
R.I.P. to the E.Y.E.
RIP
The thing is with the T shirt - whilst he was alive, it probably was looked at by fans, and they thought he was referring to his breakdown of his ego. Now he's dead, they think it's because he knew he was going to die. It's not really a special 'self fulfilling prophecy', because whichever view you accept, the fact is that death comes to everyone, so how special a prediction is it really?
@whoischillys I'm not gonna say what it says but you can easily find out on a google search, the shirts were quite prevalent at one time.
@OM3N1R eyedea was my favorite lyricist but after this interview, probably my favorite person. so damn humble
I know I'm late but if anyone don't second song in the beginning is called "Burn Fetish"
respect
@whoischillys I bet that was an awesome experience, was this one of the coolest interviewa for u, and who else have u got to interview?
@JEDImindSHIT505
Eyedea was a nothing we can define him as. He would never define himself as a "rapper".
When He said "at least do acid once" if you truly listen to what he says after, he was the savior!
@whoischillys I think his shirt says 'eyedea is dead' crazy if it does...? Intelligent and talented. I'm sad we have lost him.
I fucking love you Mikey!
@whoischillys It says "Eyedea is Dead".
Rest in peace Eyedea
Love People
tylerzwhatz i see you everywhere
Mac STEEZ well if your a STEEZ and Eyedea fan then thats very likely
@lukam8 thanks for watching bro!
I find his shirt kinda eerie...
Thatfriendly Hippie totally agree... the first time i read ur comment tho i read it as "i find his "skirt" kinda eerie?.... i rewatched the video like 4 times trying to see if he dressed in a skirt lol... i was about to ask you about what skirt, but then i reread the comment correctly... had to rewatch the video again to read what his shirt said
R.I.P
R.EYE.P
Yep it was awesome indeed. He was a great live performer and really approachable after the show. Here's my interview with Ice-T. Search "ice t chilly s interview" if interested.
@whoischillys The shirt said "Eyedea is dead" ..
Interviewer asked Mikey if he had anything to promote. Eyedea wasn't promoting anything, his uncuffed answer was "Love People".
If that doesn't prove his personality, nothing will.
mann... your fuckin tight dude. universe.. love..
anyone know where i could buy a eyedea is dead tshirt??
@2folkedup thanks for watching
I'm wouldn't mean it literally if I wore it. I just want to share the meaning that Eyedea meant when he wore it. understand?
Where can I buy an Eyedea is dead tshirt? Anyone know?
if u see this look ate all videos with the same shirt we always wore them together always and the shirt is because of carbon carosel and band and people thought A and E werent getting back together but they did RIP
@hiphophead707 what does it say? "Eyedea is ....?"
@Kinshiznet55 probably nowhere now. i kick myself for not buying one from a show back in 07
hey chily S thats badass u met eyedea. n good question. I found eyedeas music bout one year ago. n all im bout to is listen to my first n only song so far. that i made on my own on my phone. search idnotis n click on penguins. anyone else who wants to can do so as well hehe lol
@whoischillys it says "eyedea is dead"
Dude really did he have to wear the Eyedea is dead t-shirt??? fuck it makes me want to tear up. such a wise hip hop philosopher R.Eye.P
how did he die?
how dear you cut off eyedea >:(
THATS THE REALEST FUCKING INTERVIEW... EVER
@whoischillys "eyedea is dead"
amazing? YES.
i know its dark in there but goddamn his pupils are dialated
@MrBalloonz fried, or somewhere else?
@whoischillys
USA 4 LSD....eyedea would have loved that answer ...be universal,,,,,
You have never met anyone who can tell when you're cooked and yet you presume to be able to tell if anyone else is? Too speak on this matter in such definitive terms and in this way is just ignorant and arrogant. Be humble.
@whoischillys it says eyedea is dead. kind of ironic now but it was made pretty much when he was doing his music with carbon carousel. just a little joke kind of thing since he was fucking around with other genres and everone thought he was done with the whole underground E&A shit.
Haha woww I see homeboy sandman
@BrunetteBabe1005 Clearly you have no f'n idea what the f' you are talking about. He was not on drugs and I asked him the acid question because he mentions it in his songs. It's not a secret and it wasn't asked to demonize him. His answer was on point. Your negativity is disgusting.
@whoischillys dead"
RIP
Chilly S look at the guy, don't get me wrong, I love eyedea but his pupils are pricked, itchy nose and a rasp. He's fucked up on dope, just because you didn't notice doesn't mean its not true, I've never met anybody who can tell when I'm cooked
lots of acid
I love that man.
