MF Doom?

yeah it is kind of adorable, clive's voice makes me think of like the 50s or something - "and uh, mr presley you'll be singing something about blue shoes, is that right?"

yeah that's lovely, the instrumentation especially. psyched to hear this, & the beth gibbons jam, though his flow's seemed kinda graceless for the last while.

i',m hoping this is better than his last release.

really not feelin this

o well he has so much other great material

i don't know, jneiro jntel has never impressed me (second rate prefuse / ammoncontact copyists?)

and it's hard to imagine doom flowing well over LA stoner spiritual jazz dude beats (ie the bellflower thing, not madlib)

it would be like doom over flying lotus or something. nuh uh.

BITE THE THONG

This is interesting. I kinda like it.

no guts, no glory, what's your story?
bore me poorly, ??????
enough for coffee
rarely, scarcely, scary, glare-y, stare
let's be very clear, emcees is derriere
as well as aware, wearily
just don't be nearly near, you hear me?
YEEEEEAH

that's a ridiculous stretch. vintage doom

is there any way in which Madlib is not "LA stoner spiritual jazz dude beats"?!

yeah he's that but he's also like 10 other things

terrible kool-aid suppin' paragraph in a guardian profile

Doom's music has always been murky, his samples dusty from all those crates, his voice gruff, his raps torrential bursts of elliptical wordplay too dense and jerkily delivered to be described as "flow", but it's not as forbidding as the metal face suggests. People, he says, miss the humour in his work, and the delight in mischief-making. A couple of years ago, he allegedly sent "fake" Dooms to perform on his behalf at gigs. Even the hardcore faithful were incensed, when really it was an inspired device designed to subvert the notion of rap ego.

o i c

well poor word choice but i think it's much more slack than the beats on past mf doom and madlib things, less hectic, more stretched out than doom's herbs and spices or madlib's hectic beat collage

when really it was an inspired device designed to subvert the notion of rap ego.

no they were doombots you fuckspasm, the clue's in the name, and the mask, and the hood, and the album art, and the name

or he's just a lazy cunt

Pretty sick stuff, "Winter Blues", live on Radio 4 of all places -

ffs why make me load a player, then check a box saying I'm over 16, then make me choose whether or not to apply a parental lock to the website, then reload the page, make me REload it again, and THEN tell me the media is not available in my area?

YSI?

it's on youtube

wait

yeah that's lovely, the instrumentation especially.

mm, Doom's flow gets v slack in his last part, but generally this sounds like a good thing for him to be doing at this stage of his life

lol, MF Doom did a collaboration with Borat called MF Borat. How have I only just heard of this? http://mfborat.bandcamp.com/album/the-mask-and-the-moustache …

Has this been posted anywhere? https://medium.com/cuepoint/check-the-technique-kmds-black-bastards-and-the-birth-of-mf-doom-1849f4c0a6f4

Doom's 14 year old son passed away :(

jeez poor guy

holy crap

how

why

googling brings up nothing

he posted it on his instagram account

Wait now there's this?

https://www.instagram.com/p/CJefkDalNYo/

Okay I'm confused is he dead or not because the comments seem to indicate that he's not and also they waited two months to tell us if so?

Some of the comments are saying that his wife died and he is just now posting a letter she gave him before she passed, but it’s all very confusing.

If his wife died, why would he accompany the letter with a photo of himself?

Maybe he's just v narcissistic

Rhymesayers Facebook posted it, I think he passed away

"My world will never be the same without you"

That's not a sentiment of a dying person.

fuck I can't believe this

gutted

xpost - It doesn’t make sense to me either, but those comments are a mess.

Really hope it’s not true.

Complex confirmed he’s dead, fwiw.

God damn, this sucks. RIP

god what a gut punch. the epitome of an underground mc.

KMD is easily the most underrated golden age group, to do that, lose your best friend then come back as something even more groundbreaking, even more original....visionary

God, I had a sinking feeling in my chest when I saw this thread on new answers... He left us far too soon. It seemed like a new generation of listeners really embraced his music, too.

RIP Metal Face, you leave one hell of a legacy behind.

How desperately sad. From my perspective he was the greatest of all time. RIP.

One of my favorite tracks of the '00s:

fuuuuuuck

Like many people my age he was the gateway to hip-hop. I can't thank him enough.

this is completely unacceptable

I didn’t start getting really deep into his discography until this past year. So much great work sonically and lyrically rip
