MF DOOM was a scam artist, he paid some random guy to perform at his shows with his mask on instead of actually performing himself. took his fans money and tricked them.




that's insanely funny and it's sad he died, RIP

In that vein, one of his impersonators should pick up the mantle and start doing live shows as DOOM, ala Andy Kauffman and Tony Clifton. Keep the mystique alive.

You’re trying real hard to distill the shitfest that was 2020 directly into your posts, so congrats on the effort I guess.

Also lol who the gently caress cares enough about Action Bronson to repeatedly bring up in a thread that has nothing to do with him? GBS finishing the year strong.

Some interesting stuff I learned about him in the book "Check the Technique: Vol 2"; he had his own entire chapter in the book. He never planned on being a rapper. Basically in like 1989, he was a graffiti artist and tagged "KMD" everywhere. The letters literally had no meaning; he just liked the way they looked in bubble letters. He was friends with MC Serch and Pete Nice (3rd Bass) who just threw him on a song; turns out the song ended up being one of the biggest rap hits of 1989 (The Gas Face). Based on Doom's single verse on the song, he was given a record deal. He kept the name KMD and made up some silly backronymn to make it sound like they weren't just made up letters.

The 2nd album was shelved when one of the members of KMD got hit by a car when he tried to cross the Long Island Expressway on foot. I have the original release of the album without Doom's face blocked out.

He seemed like a cool dude. RIP.

So was this dude just a tremendous nerd or what was up with the mask? If he was a huge nerd, was it obvious in his work?

Seriously shook here, for an entire generation of millennial men that got C averages in high school but thought they were smart because they played video games MF Doom was an important stepping stone between listening to the Knuckles raps from the Sonic games and having the theme songs to The Boondocks and Samurai Champloo on your iPod Shuffle.

The guy who got killed on the highway was his brother, and DOOM's son died a couple of years ago too. Guy had a lot of suffering in his life even before what took him.

I never knew he didn't even want to be a rapper, that makes him showing up 3rd Bass on their own record even funnier. They're supposed to be the stars and this 19 year old kid who'd rather be tagging trains comes out of nowhere and lays the best verse on the track.

Madvillainy got me into alternative rap and is still a top 5 album of all time for me, across all genres. Incredible rhymes from start to finish, not a bar out of place, all delivered smooth and casual like they were nothing and he could do it all day.

RIP DOOM
