Shit...apparently, Eyedea, of Rhymesayers duo Eyedea & Abilities, passed away today. I didn't get into his music until about a year ago, with the release of their album By The Throat, but I came to admire the skill and honesty in his music. A deft lyricist and a monster with the freestyle, he will be sorely missed.
Today's been kinda devastating for me. Sadly I'm the only one who knew about him among all of my friends, it's not like when MJ died and everyone cared. Hell I didn't even really shed a tear after MJ died, but I was watching the Smile music video and couldn't help myself but tear up. Eyedea was one of my favorites, always has been ever since I listened to The Many Faces of Oliver Hart for the first time a few years ago. I heavily regret not catching him on tour, I always thought he would be back and I'd be able to see him again. This just proves to me to always take advantage of a situation because it may not come around another time.
No death has hit me this hard before. I get it now, I get why people react the way they do when their favorite musicians pass on.
I can only hope Eyedea's finding peace in paradise right now.
hell yeah...i met them a lil while back when him and abilities were touring wit themselves..that was one of my favorite shows that i have been too..such a dope person to talk to
