listening to Goodie Mob right now, and Khujo - as usual - is much more poisonous and offensive than doom ever was in homophobia. And he's not even funny!

little confused by the Doom profile in the New Yorker this week. i mean, if you're gonna do something on Doom, why now? ok, so you can bitch about the current state of rap... but again, is Doom really the right stand in for the "Golden Era." very confusing.
i love Doom and the New Yorker but they should really stick to shit like this http://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2009/09/07/090907fa_fact_grann?yrail

There are a couple funny parts though - Doom driving around LA (or being driven around by his driver who's named after the robot from Short Circuit) getting drunk instead of going to the studio and trying to write a rap about the chimp who killed his owner from the chimps perspective.
Also, excited to hear work's finally being done on another colab w/ Madlib.

& has anyone heard the Gigan EP? And did Hassan Chop record anything worth hearing after this?

yeh i got the EP on the strength of krazy world. it's excellent NY headbusting shit but not as singular as u might expect. he loses that out the side of the mouth flow coming aggie.

I should give that another listen. when it came out I was too burnt out on MF and thought there were too many tracks that were just Monster Island Czars and no Doom.

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.

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

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.
