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.

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.

This is interesting. I kinda like it.

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

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.

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

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?
― self-clowning oven (Murgatroid), Thursday, 31 December 2020 21:22 (three years ago) link
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.
― soaring skrrrtpeggios (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Thursday, 31 December 2020 21:25 (three years ago) link
If his wife died, why would he accompany the letter with a photo of himself?

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.
