MF DOOM is an acquired taste. He is an underground legend and is often called “your favorite rapper’s favorite rapper”.

Definitely an acquired taste. I like listening to people that make you kinds adventure through their catalog for something that opens the door. Like, another guy that requires digging to get into, Danny Brown. Is Grown Up and 30 made me take that guy more serious.

MF DOOM has the ability to rhyme a whole full sentence with another full sentence. No filler. Every word is important. His delivery is special and is put together so effortlessly, it may go over heads on the first listen.

Not sure I would agree that every single word is important, sometimes some words just rhyme well together with something or fit the beat well, his voice and words are almost like another instrument complimenting the beat. Obviously his lyrics are extremely deep and there's so much to decipher that you won't even catch if you listen to it 100 times, but sometimes it feels like he just want to 'flex' with how many different words he can use in a multi syllable rhyme scheme

RIP DOOM. He bent words like animation bends visuals.

MF DOOM was born in the UK but he grew up in New York, DOOM has worked with multiple members of Wu tang as well as a lot of other well known hip hop artist

MF DOOM is probably the greatest rapper ever technically. Not only his level of rhyming ability which is probably unmatched. All of the technicalities of his rhyming is too king to mention, but it’s also the deep meaning and metaphors and references behind some of his bars, people are only getting some of the shit he was ACTUALLY saying contained with in the entanglement of his genius rhyming.

1:27 His face when he realizes MF DOOM is a different breed. (New Sub BTW) People Discovering MF DOOM for the first time is my favorite thing to watch. Please continue to react to his songs, he has so many bangers.

MF DOOM’s a Strong Island Cat. Dumile was born in Hounslow, London, on July 13, 1971, the son of a Trinidadian mother and Zimbabwean father. According to Dumile, he was conceived in the United States, and happened to be born in London because his mother was visiting family. As a child, Dumile moved with his family to Long Island, New York; he grew up in Long Beach, New York. He said he had no memory of his London childhood and his parents had no affiliation with British culture. However, he remained a British citizen, never gaining American citizenship. Wikipedia

I love DOOM. I'm glad BJ liked it. His rhymes are very cryptic like poetry almost but he's very clever and witty. It just takes some deciphering :p

Doom is incredible. His delivery is an acquired taste, but it's all part of the flavor.

No, his delivery I feel is amazing. Great voice, great enunciation and his ability to twist the words to fit them to rhyme is genius. I feel like understanding his overall messaging in his raps is the more difficult part; he feels abstract to me and that can throw people off.

Can't blame her. Basically diving into a PHD course on entendres, metaphors and symbolism.

MF DOOM was born in the UK and raised in New York.

Doom is too cool man. Perfect mix of serious skill and playful wit.

DOOM. Hiphop‘s only true mystic. Feeling the hidden fabric of the universe and preaching about it in cryptic , butter-smooth verses that are yet to be deciphered. RIP. Only MC that managed to use language as an instrument.

It’s DOOM’s choice of words that is so big with him. Bringing back the fishscale lyric; it could also mean: DOOM produced some tracks on ghostface killahs “fishscale” album. He could be referencing a semi mainstream artist having a good album. Big fish often identify a fish (its lunch) by seeing reflection off another’s fishscale. The next line he references “Ishmael” which is a character used in the book Moby dick. “call me Ishmael”. Ishmael was a minor character of the book who turned out to the be the narrator speaking. This point is not as prevalent unless you get the “fishscale line”, but Ishmael also is referring to the Biblical character at the same. It’s the depth of the lines and the references that you get over time that makes him one of the GOAT and maybe the best “wordsmith”

I love how he loves it and gets most of the lyrics, meanings, double entendres and she just lost! As he said you got to know to know! Rip MFDOOM

Y’all should check out KMD Peach Fuzz next And review that. That has a younger MF DOOM when he used to go by Zev Love X. I feel like Asia will love that!! DOOM does really obscure references, like usually people that are into geek culture usually catch his references. Like Asia was lost probably because of that she didn’t understand the references. Then not only that DOOM can easily switch up and manipulate the content even further lyrically. Hands down my favorite rapper of all time.

DOOM makes all other rappers look like they're playing checkers while he's playing 4D chess

RIP DOOM I grew up listening to his music. I found DANGER DOOM at my local Library and fell in love with the album cover and to find he had Aqua Teen Hunger Force on the album. I also grew up on Adult Swim when I was like 10.

Vaudeville Villain by Viktor Vaughn. It's another name that MF Doom used. Short song but dope.

Asia like....wwwhhaaa? 🤣🤣🤣

You called it with the gritty New York sound. He was born in the UK, moved to the US as an infant, grew up on Long Island, never got citizenship. If he sounds like an early '90's East Coast rapper, it's because he was. He was in a group with his brother and another in the early '90's. His bro died, the label dropped him, and he went homeless, came back in the late '90's as the supervillain Metal Face.

top 5 all-time favorite rapper.

Thank you so much for covering MF DOOM. He has been so important for me in my darkest days, I only found this legendary rapper in the last two years not knowing he has always been apart of my life from childhood as a white kid in Montana. The more we can give this man name out there the better. Thank you.

YES. NEED MORE DOOM

DOOM is for Hip Hop heads who love lyricism and bars. His beats are head nod but if your brain ain't in the mode the take in what a rapper is saying, he will fly right over your head. Brother here knows he's listening to something outrageous.

MF DOOM is one of my favorite MC’s ever. The MC’s MC. You have to listen to him not only with your ears but visualize it. Before he was MF DOOM. He was in a group called KMD. Their first hit was Peach Fuzz. With label problems and his younger brother dying he kind of disappeared from the industry. His re-entrance into the business birth the Mad Villian

I feel like BJ is secretly Mr. Fantastik.

Y'all are witnessing the one of greatest G.O.A.T. super Slang King. I suggest "Gazillion Ear" or "Fazers" or "Microwave Mayonnaise" video or "Crosshairs". Peace

We need more MF DOOM on this channel!

My favorite part is _"Everything that glitters ain't fishscale/Lemme think don't let her faint get Ishmael"_ An obvious Moby Dick reference Everything that glitters ain't fishscale meaning pure cocaine and moby dick was a huge white whale/brick of cocaine Or it could mean everything that glitters isn't pure. Moby Dick was one of the first pieces of media to portray white as evil (the good guys always wore white hats etc.) Also whales are mammals so they do not have scales which is the literal translation. _"Lemme think, don't let her faint, get Ishmael"_ After Ahab finally killed Moby Dick, Ishmael was the only one of the crew to survive. DOOM was such a deep thinker and was able to convey his thoughts so well that there was something for everyone to discover. The god lyricist.

MF DOOM was the greatest rapper to ever live.

Fishscale is used a lot in eyeshadow. Gives it that iridescent shine

I'd given up on rap until I found MF DOOM, dude is a wordsmith.

What I LIKE about DOOM is his flow is so erratic , yet beautiful. It’s puts you off at 1st. Then becomes addicting!! The way he rides a beat and all his hidden messages and call backs to growing up as a kid in the 80s and 90s. To the point where modern flows are Boring to me and this is the difficult, expert-level stuff.

for me listening to doom was like cigarettes, it was bad at first, then i listened to it more and now i am addicted

MF DOOM FIRST APPEARED ON THE GAS FACE VIDEO HE IS A VERY SMART RAPPER VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE ON MANY SUBJECTS A TRUE LEGEND KNOWN WORLD WIDE BUT ALWAYS REMEMBER TO USE ALL CAPITALS WHEN YOU SPELL HIS NAME

You should definitely check out gazillion ear, beef rap, doomsday, curls, and rhinestone cowboy to start. Some of the tracks are real short. Like a 2 minutes or less but all worth it.

Maaaaan RIP to MF DOOM aka Zev Love X, Viktah Vaughn and other aliases. He was born in the UK but grew up in Long Island NYC.

doom is so different and the lyrics are so "dense" , even i felt like "do i like this or not" vibe when I first listened to it. He's from New York, been around for a while , plenty of doom material out there and viktor vaugh is another alter ego he has w/ 2 great albums

MF DOOM.. .. Lyrical gymnastics at its finest

Doom was born in the UK but is really from the island of Manhattan.

DOOM worked with wutang throughout the years. A lot of people consider him an honorary member of the group 🤣

btw the look of confusion on her face was worth the price of admission alone

Listening to any of his songs for the first time you feel like you're behind and a lot of things go over your head + even if Ive listened to the song before I hear new rhymes, punchlines . etc

Loved the look on her face 🤭 DOOM will do that.

he is kinda from the uk he from new york. also fun fact he has pics with some of the greats like eazy e crew and pac biggie and many other artist . he actually has a big history in hip hop

Check out MF DOOM “doomsday” , “accordion“ , “fancy clown” .. madvillainy album is a classic! Throw Madlib (who produced it) on your music journey list after DOOM

Nobody gets even most of it the first time through, especially without the lyrics on screen. But there is dense DOOM and more open DOOM. The stuff off MM..FOOD is easier to pick up off first listen, perhaps.

I’m by far not an expert on Doom but I feel like a lot of people when they talk about his album, done with Madlib, they took psychedelic mushrooms for a creation of most of it. Really helps with some of the context I think.

the amount of double entendre is way above a lot of people's heads

Asia, a tad lost; BJ, 3 knuckles deep!

MF DOOM is Zev love x. check out 'the gas face' by third bassto actually see him. of course he's younger but that's him

There''s a great Red Bull Interview with him. Crazy skill.

in the future an encryption based on DOOMS style will secure all our files haha

One More Beer is one of his best songs, he was also in the group KMD from back in the day and a bunch of aliases like Metal Fingers or King Ghidorah to name just a few. He's from UK but raised in New York. His album Maddvillainy he did with Madlib is one of the greatest albums of all time, and Mm...Food, is an almost perfect album. He's worked with like every dude you named at the end.

MF DOOM is you favorite rappers favorite rapper

“I don’t know anything about hit rhyme and flow.” Holy fck get ready

ALL CAPS WHEN YOU SAY THE MAN'S NAME! MF DOOM is legit one of the best lyricists that ever lived. There's a very good reason he's considered to be your favorite rapper's favorite rapper

It's funny you mentioned Wu Tang, DOOM worked with Deck under the Czarface (Deck's) moniker.

MF Doom AKA Victor von AKA madvillain AKA King Geedorah he's from New York City long story he ended up in the UK because he couldn't live in the United States anymore

BJ should definitely check out some more DOOM. This might not be the best "introduction" to his music and rap style. 'Deep Fried Frenz', 'Doomsday', 'Rap Snitches', 'All Caps', 'Accordion' or 'Fancy Clown' for example would be a lot easier to digest for someone who's never heard him before

The Mc’s MC

DOOM is an golden era rapper . He came from the 90s . Listen to KMD . That was him and his brother when he was know as Zev Love X .. I think homegirl doesn’t get DOOM because popular music is simple and he isn’t . He’s complex and full of mystery and it take some breaking down to get it ..

MF DOOM has classics! *Your favorite rapper's favorite rapper*... RIP... *Try Deadbent or All Caps(There's an anime video and his name was Madvillian).* Fun Fact: Marvel/Stan Lee loved his music, so MF DOOM used a lot of Marvel samples n his music....

Everything’s going over her head 😂
