RIP Eyedea (Michael Larsen)

[deafmx]

can't even believe he's gone.

you may be familiar with his work in Eyedea & Abilities, Face Candy, Carbon Carousel. he was a huge player in the Minneapolis local scene, hip hop and beyond. definitely a key element of Rhymesayers Entertainment.

there aren't many details on his death. i see his wiki page was updated to say he was found dead by his mother.

if you'd like to donate to his mother for memorial costs, there's been a page setup for that.

Guy could write amazing poetry off the top of his head. Profoundly sad loss for hip hop.

Sad times. Thought the last couple of things he released were sub-par, but First Born, Oliver Hart and E&A were all great. Saw him live a few times, too. Bummer!!!

i never liked him on record as much as i liked him off the tip...

That video is amazing. I couldn't imagine being able to do that off the top of my head.

28 year old dies in his sleep. Draw your own conclusions.
