"Light-years ahead of his time, micheal wrote "ode to hip-hop" between 7 - 9 years of age. You have to hear it to believe it. Join Kathy Averill as she reads an acapella version of a song off Eyedea & Abilities first project, Sixth Sense. Find Micheal's music and more at www.micheallars..."
Eyedea was a beast. He is easily a top 5 Mc, and was a great case for being the GOAT. Thanks Kathy be strong, Michael is missed by many. R.EYE.P
I cry every time Eyedea is mentioned, I never knew him and I could not miss him more.
A genius whose time on this earth was too short but his content will last forever
couldn't have said it better myself
wow, im at awe, he wrote that at 14, he was destined for success, his poetry in uncanny and is definitely the works of a beautiful philsophical mind. RIP MICHEAL LARSEN..YOU ARE UNFORGETTABLE. SURELY MISSED
Never got to meet him and yet he feels like one of my closest friends... I guess this is what it was about. You are dearly missed, R.EYE.P.
Every time "Smile" hits, I bawl my eyes out. You made a beautiful boy, Kathy. He had so much joy and pain to share with the world. ❤ i love you all, forever.
This was so fucken hard to watch.. R.EYE.POWER
I don't often cry over a TH-cam video. Holy shit, that's intense. Really gets the wheels spinning.
Rip. He used that gift and ended up helping all of us with it. RIP.
I looked up to him it's really hard to live without him especially since I'm 15 I always thought of meeting him that was one of my dreams
Same... maybe in heaven? or some other form of afterlife? Maybe in a Nirvana type place where the laws of the universe breakdown and all that is is pure unfiltered consciousness and we finally accept that all is one as he always said? I still hope to meet him one day regardless of where.
2019.
Eyedea you will never die in my heart.
💞
Rest in peace Micheal.
amazing eyedea pretty much saved my life when i was really depressed i found him his music one of a kind the best rapper to ever touch the mic just everything he did was amazing
"No one will miss me" How wrong could you have been?
ya he had to die for that to happen... pretty sad considering how mind blowing the concepts he touches on were, obviously people are gonna regret him once he's dead but probably thought he was off his rocker, guy was mentioning conspiracies just coming out now back in early 2000s
I gave some substance, knowledge
And in returned was used to make a petty penny
They've defeated my purpose, deleted my work
Cheated me, seated me underground and wound up bringing me to the surface
They corrupted my image, made me a negative influence
This shady world has been abusive ever since I came into it
the song is about hip hop not eyedea himself!
You don’t understand Eyedea well enough to think this is solely about hip hop
His mom’s strength was so incredible. She managed to avoid the tears I was already shedding in a way that Michael probably would’ve been really proud-of.
Ensure their messages echo onward in perpetual replays
at 14 he wrote what most can't in there prime
hip hop died when eyedea passed
rest in paradise!
Special lady, Special man. Really beautiful, Thank You!
R.EYE.P
cant wait to hear this on the upcoming album 3.31.15!!!
WOW! I cannot even try to comprehend the thoughts that were going through this guys head? He is freaking unreal! In his own words (he is from another planet!)!
ok,its been like 3 years since he died, i listen to his songs like a miner digs for gold, his style is one that cant be forgotten.
Unbelievable words written by a child. The raw talent blows my mind. To hear his mother read these words following his death almost gives the song a new perspective.
it wasn't about how people wouldn't miss hip he was speaking for hip hop in this song he personified hip hop through himself he was saying nobody would miss hip hop not him. He was probably to humble to admit it but I think he knew we would miss him. R. EYE. P
Eye love y'all ❤
I already died, this just makes it official ....damn !
Thankyou Momma Eyedea x
i will post every day if i have to....... THANK YOU from thA boTTom of my SOUL...an' as u R a mother.... THANK YOU
Thank you for sharing and carrying on his memory for all of us who love him ( as well as we can w/out knowing him personally). Peace to you Kathy and may you always be surrounded by love and loving people.
Favorite artist of all time. This made me ball in tears. I miss Eyedea as much as George or Lennon when they died. Even though he carries on through our inspirational energy Micheal I gotta say your wrong. I fucking miss you so bad!
Never forget x
Wow man, that's deep as shit. Eyedea is a legend. He writes so good that his mom was rockin' reading that. How she held it together is crazy - And just so you know, Kathy Averill, you put an amazing mind on this earth, and I'm sure I won't be the only one to thank you. Thank you.
How did he know all about the mainstream before he even was even all about the underground. A real beautiful thing for a young man to write...
He aged fast. If he was still alive his mind would grow more and more and his heart would explode.
speechless. loVe u Mom.
Thank You so much for being so strong and real with your sons fans. I know it can't be easy, hearing how much everyone misses him. You are an amazingly strong person and clearly a great mother. You raised a man that has effected me more than anyone can know yet I never even met him. My heart is with you and your family everyday Kathy.
R.EYE.P
so beautiful
❤️❤️❤️
deep for 14.
deep four 84
ive carried people from hard times and thought they where my friends but they only stayed close to me because it was the trend.. Wow. That line stuck me hard.
That.. was... wow..
Im glad there is people out there spreading Mikeys music
Man that made me cry & feel better 2 he ment alot to me truly
"he wrote this when he was about 13 or 14 when his mentor died"
he had a beautiful mother............
Omg his philosophy is amazing for a 14 year old...... I like how he explain death..... He is right tbh everything gets forgotten..... The generation of people that actually listen to him will die out less and less and soon no one will know of Eyedea..... Its a sad thought but tbh that's how all deaths are. R.I.P 😢
Ruben Alaniz its why you share his music so he never dies. besides he will always lie within our souls and rest
honestly kathy, thank so so much,!
Thank you Kathy..
Eyedea was a once in a generation genius. and bless his mom for respectfully keeping his legacy alive unlike peep's mom in it for the check
im 18, and i cannot write ANYTHING even close to being that dope, poetic god eyedea was. fucking great! thank youu kathyyyyyyyyY!!!!!!!
She said at 8 his uncle was ill and mikey was curious about death and what happens when you die. His uncle died. He lost his mentor
R.eye.P Mike
He wrote this at 9? Those are BARS!!
I miss that guy!! Big live bro
I believe he was highly influenced by sess, but also more indirectly by countless of other lyricists. Look up Mikah 9 (now myka nyne) from the Freestyle Fellowship, whom he admired.
oh man..this makes me sad...
@roslandprophecies "its here, it's there, it's everywhere"
His mother, his family and himself.
8-9 months ago i think
Wow
13 years old O_O,
between 7th and 9th grade.
i can see the resemblence
@chromeshift Love
i wonder who his mentor was?
his uncle
Wtf man so sad
