With heavy hearts, we share these words from MF DOOM’s family.
It is our wish to continue to respect their privacy at this difficult time.
-
Begin all things by giving thanks to THE ALL!
To Dumile
The greatest husband, father, teacher, student, business partner, lover and friend I could ever ask for. Thank you for all the things you have shown, taught and given to me, our children and our family. Thank you for teaching me how to forgive beings and give another chance, not to be so quick to judge and write off. Thank you for showing how not to be afraid to love and be the best person I could ever be. My world will never be the same without you. Words will never express what you and Malachi mean to me, I love both and adore you always. May THE ALL continue to bless you, our family and the planet.
All my Love

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

what

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

holy shit

fuck fuck fuck

I think it hurts me more than usual because somehow he was mythic person, someone who sorta didn't exist, like a character underground hip-hop beamed into real life. He could not die. He was a superhero.

Listening to Take Me To Your Leader and it's mind blowing great and I don't even know if I would add it to my MF Doom top 5.

WTF?! He was still so young! RIP to one of the greatest to hold the mic.

fucking fuck this year. RIP. all caps when you spell the man name

^ probably my personal favorite

Wow RIP MF. I can't begin to say how much this guy means to me. My first date with my wife was a DOOM show in 2004. She rode all the way with me from DC to Philly on a Monday night to see him. Some of his couplets never leave my mind no matter how much I'm currently listening to him. Just the other day in the McDondald's drive thru "oh my aching hands/from raking in grands/and breaking in mic stands." I felt very passionately about this guy in probably a very corny way, but I'll stand by it for life. Operation Doomsday is etched in my brain. The hunger he displays on that album, damn. And I haven't even started on his production skills.

On Doomsday! ever since the womb ‘til I'm back where my brother went that's what my tomb will say
Right above my government Dumile
Either unmarked or engraved hey who's to say

well this absolutely sucks

RIP

Oh man wtf

fucking hell

This sucks!!!

Unbelievable. RIP to an all timer

His output in early 2000s was my soundtrack while exploring NYC for the first time

A friend was involved in this single a couple of years ago, said he had nothing but awe for him as an artist and a person.

Oh wow. I used to love doom. RIP to one of the best. Thay second kmd album made me a fan.

I hate to say this but we were actually working on an EP. There were more songs that I haven’t even heard. https://t.co/i3772B7bDS

The crew has assembled. We are producing an extra special DOOM tribute program tonight for ‘THE HIT’ that will flow right into the countdown. 11pm pst. https://t.co/0MwfY0QFTo

Haven’t read too deeply into this but... he’s been dead for two months and this is just now coming out?

2020 gets the gas face

Terrible way to end a terrible year.

his music changed my life. Rip

For realz tho

For some reason, am still dumbfounded by this. Obvs thats just death in general but it's just weird as he was relatively young. Hope we find out more in the next few weeks.

‘Dumbfounded’ is the only place to be on this right now.

Just saw ppl listing madvillainy for a couple hundred on discogs lol

Doom recorded most of that over a three week period in my apartment on my MPC, using my records. He never slept for more than 3-4 hours at a time. https://t.co/mjKDx4rSac

Brainfeeder's tribute to DOOM getting shut down for DMCA copyright violations is the ultimate "fuck 2020" end to this apocalyptic year.
