I lost a close friend at the young age of 28 just a couple months ago and it's a really devastating feeling. My heart goes out to all his friends and family - the bad thing is the pain won't go away, the good thing is neither will the memories.

RIP

thank you for sharing this. people are the most selfish fucking dickheads, consciously and continually, and take pride in it.

when there are examples of great humanity around like eyedea, i wonder why some of these people don't pay more attention.

you will probably not read too many other good things this year. your patience will be rewarded by reading the words of eyedea.

Segue To Something Greater
by Luke Fox

Michael גEyedeaג Larsen died yesterday. He was 28 and a true artist. Forever fascinated by the art of freestyling, I pestered the Blaze Battle and Scribble Jam champ for an interview on Nov. 16, 2004. He told me he wasnגt interested in interviews; he eschewed publicists and didnגt even accept the copy of Pound I handed to him. He was concerned with making art, not so much reading about it or promoting it.

Regardless, I convinced him to talk. After sound check, we sat together and spoke about art and rhyme and improvisation and freedom in a Little Italy caf

listen, Mikey: i know you appreciate MUSIC, last time i met you, you really knew musicians. you're not about having a fucking pathetic internet reputation to strangers or about fame. you do you. so did this guy. i know you're not an idiot in real life. it's good stuff.

the guys talk about the process of music, live performance, life and lots of other stuff worth reading. i don't share with this place much anymore cause fools love to act stupid, but it's worth the read. you will not wish you had those 10 minutes back.

god damn the bullshit instincts in some of you to take disrespect to unnecessary levels. you are not cool and you did not win anything.

more stories of how good the homie was would be cool
hope is necessary, cause most motherfuckers don't care about anything, including themselves.

y'all fools are Shellz

R.I.P.

My prayers go out to him and especialy his family and friends....

I still have 2 or 3 of his tour only CD's from 2001. That where extremely limited and made just for that tour for gas money and extra cash. i need to bust those out and check them out it's been years since i listened to them.

Word on the Copywrite tribute:

Someone said this (Mac Lethal?): keeping this up, and acting like this is something Eyedea would have wanted it disgraceful. this is a very painful time for a lot of people, including myself. i have spoken to very close friends of Michael's. they are absolutely disgusted by this song.

Copywrite Mirabella: "out of respect for Eydea (Micheal Larsen) & his family & friends I have pulled the Eydea tribute from hiphopdx as well as copywriteworld. I in no way wanted to stir an uproar, rather speak my heart for the tremendous person & talent that this world no-longer gets the pleasure of sharing. My deepest apologies to anyone ...I may have offended in my efforts. Peace to all"

Great, article MB...That was a good intro into the person, the artist, the human-being, all at once...We are both the same age respectively, I did 4 years of college, etc. and I felt like he knew infinitely more about the world, universe, introspectively, emotions, etc. more than myself, and anyone else our age...
