@@stabaholic187 for someone who listened to a bunch of amazingly written albums, you can't even write properly. 🤣

some things I noticed while watching this: 1. Fancy Clown is more than just a joke about DOOM cheating on himself (wears a mask all day, tinhead, tin crown face), it’s self deprecating because he’s heartbroken and yet he would just as easily do the same thing to someone, thus they are both himself. He’s acknowledging his own hypocrisy 2. The “shot a cop day around the way” etc bar in Figaro is one of the best bars in the song if you really break it down 3. Didn’t realize how good of a bar the “quadruple” one was either on Money Folder 4. “Overthrow 'em like throwing Rover a biscuit A lot of bitches think he's overly chauvinistic Let go his dick if that's the case Rats, what a waste, there's more cats to chase“ although obviously and self-referentially misogynistic, DOOM was spitting pretty decent advice ngl my favorite album of all time and I still constantly find new details about it to love

As Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic put it, the song is about a veteran artist "who's aware that he's more than paid his dues during his career ... but is still surviving, and someday, he'll shine just like a rhinestone cowboy."

The Fancy Clown track isn't DOOM. It's his alter ego Viktor Vaughn. He's talking about DOOM smashing his girl. Your reactions are a blast. Keep doing you.

Ahhhhh King, I was waiting on that Moet flask bar and you cut it lol. I understand, do what you gotta do. One of my all time favorite albums.

Fancy Clown is Viktor Vaughn rhyming about DOOM hanging with his girl. DOOM wears a mask, Viktor doesn't. "That's you if you want a dude who wear a mask all day"...ima have throw this back into the rotation

In Fancy clown it's Viktor (doom's other persona) that got his girl cheated by Doom, and the whole song is written from Viktor's perspective

I remember when DOOM came to Houston in 2004 and I bought this album at his concert.... popped it in the ride and couldn't stop listening to it for at least 2 years

The crazy thing is fancy clown is a song about one doom persona’s girl cheating with him with a different doom persona, hence “that’s you if you want a man who wears a mask all day”. He’s talking about himself

Ive been listening to DOOM for over 5-6 years, and i still catch new stuff all the time. Thats the magic of DOOM is how deep his raps go.

I bought this album because of the cover and it’s one of the best albums of the 2000s

Their first single "peach fuzz" will show you just how far he came to become DOOM. Or you could check out "the gas face" which is a classic song by a group called 3rd Bass featuring him(still Zev Love X). But I have a Collab that you'll love....
