THE FIRST TIME I MET DOOM.It’s weird telling this story about THE FIRST TIME I MET MF DOOM because I don’t think I’ve ever spoken about it other than in passing or word of mouth so sitting down to write about this considering that he’s gone just has me all sorts of fucked up. pic.twitter.com/ANsRchYQp3— COSMO BAKER (@CosmoBaker) December 31, 2020

There should be a book about him. Some of the myths and anecdotes around him are like those surrounding old blues men like Robert Johnson or something.

Here's a nice outtake from Dangerdoom

Supposedly he got the operation doomsday cover from tracing around the character outline on an episode on vhs that he paused on his TV
Wtf lol etc
I'm going to give dangerdoom another chance as I thought dangermouses beats were ho hum the first time

I have been thinking the same thing, but trying to dig up anecdotes and truths and details about Daniel Dumile kind of seems antithetical to what DOOM was about

I would be up for a book of unprovable tall tales about Doom tbh. Print the legend.

Maybe its lockdown, maybe nostalgia, maybe pandemic related feelings getting mixed up in it, but I find myself both bummed out and pissed off about this. Wonder if he got covid.

the part that fucks me up is that he died two whole months ago

thing that weirds me out were the odd tweets from his account post-mortem and pre-obituary.

i havent been reading very much about this - is there any info at all on what the deal is with the weird circumstances?
leave it to doom that even his death would be a confusing clusterfuck
― nobody like my rap (One Eye Open), Monday, 4 January 2021 19:43 (three years ago) link
The statement was generally quite straight forward. A doom death I would have expected to be communicated more cryptically.
― candyman, Monday, 4 January 2021 19:55 (three years ago) link
I assumed the family kept it secret for privacy?
― candyman, Monday, 4 January 2021 19:56 (three years ago) link
Also I just realized, like, yesterday that "Doom" was probably a shortened version of "Dumile"
― Whiney G. Weingarten, Monday, 4 January 2021 20:18 (three years ago) link
I keep hoping that like the other Doom he allowed one of his robot doubles to die in his place.
― Patriotic Goiter (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Monday, 4 January 2021 20:33 (three years ago) link
xp ha i had the same experience re-reading the ta-nahesi coates profile over the weekend, which i think says "dumile (pronounced DOOM-ile)" and i smacked my forehead
im sure this has been discussed already, its just so odd in 2020 to not find out about the death of a person in the entertainment world the moment it happens
― nobody like my rap (One Eye Open), Monday, 4 January 2021 20:34 (three years ago) link
i think it's kind of cool / admirable that it was not known for so long tbh
― ffolkes (map), Monday, 4 January 2021 20:35 (three years ago) link
Also, I would 100% percent be on board with DOOM having faked his own death because A) It means DOOM is alive and B) It would piss everyone off, ergo being an all-time great supervillain move
― Whiney G. Weingarten, Monday, 4 January 2021 20:40 (three years ago) link
Id like it if he killed doom, and even d.dumile, but only so he could become a new character. Here's hoping

I don't think im an expert enough to run it but if it hasn't been said already, DOOM deserves his own breakout tracks/albums/career poll

Before the pandemic really threw my whole job in to a mess, I was trying to get a big rap poll on the go and had to renege it. I would love to help anyone who wanted to run a DOOM/KMD poll though
― a hoy hoy, Friday, 8 January 2021 19:41 (three years ago) link
i thought someone volunteered to do it on the "there should be an ILM poll" thread?
― the serious avant-garde universalist right now (forksclovetofu), Friday, 8 January 2021 20:46 (three years ago) link
I suggested it there but was more intending to throw it out there, I’m not able to run it.

i could do it. Not gonna let it not happen like. But let's give it a month or two. In the meantime I'll try and sort out what should be eligible as i think this would be thornier than most of these polls (eg, Pitchfork's list of 10 tracks includes a bootleg remix off of "Sadevillain" that features a verse better/clearer than its official release). Is that kind of thing the poll volunteer's call? I've followed a few of these things but only taken part once.

I used to have the doom x nas’s worst album on vinyl and loved it, but yeah, mash ups and stuff shouldn’t make the list
― a hoy hoy, Saturday, 9 January 2021 22:26 (three years ago) link
yeah you're right. I'll take this on sometime after the 2020 poll if a more qualified pollsperson doesn't. Might need help getting all of the features listed.

I have that doomstradamus somewhere too. Not sure if it was even legit though... wished I had kept my madvillainy lp now, seeing as it appears to be worth half a grand now
― candyman, Saturday, 9 January 2021 23:49 (three years ago) link
nah it's a bootleg. And although it turns out Doom was sorta bootlegging himself with those "Missing Notebook" tracks that made it out, I would want to include those.
Heard a nice recent bootleg with Nujabes beats.
― maf you one two (maffew12), Saturday, 9 January 2021 23:58 (three years ago) link
That nyt podcast wasnt bad. Dante Ross was the best. Bobbito talked too much about fondle em. Caramanica kept talking about dooms textures, which is right, but it's also about the weird rhythms, the off, rza ish sense of timing. Like a much looser prince Paul.
― candyman, Sunday, 10 January 2021 14:00 (three years ago) link
I was forgetting the poll scheduling thread when I was here setting my own rough timeline lol. I'll go post there that I could do it.
a hoy hoy: how were you interested in/able to help?
I can't be bothered with Popcast much but it was pretty informative. Keeping the subscription can come in handy.

listening to special herbs and spices, i forgot how good him and mf grimm were together. dooms beats during this period were absolutely fire. people focus on the more whimsical, quirky stuff, but he also had some absolutely volcanic bangers.
