MF DOOM - The Man Behind The Mask Documentary
Legendary rapper and producer MF DOOM is covered in this documentary. Your favorite rapper's favorite rapper. DOOM is a British-American rapper. He performed and released music under several stage names, most notably MF Doom (stylized in all caps). DOOM debuted during hip hop's golden age of the late 1980s and became a major figure in underground hip hop of the early 21st century. Upon his death, Variety called him "one of the most celebrated, unpredictable and enigmatic figures in independent hip-hop". People have called him The Phantom of the Opera of Hip Hop.
Born in London, Dumile moved with his family to Long Island, New York, at a young age. He began his musical career in 1988 as a member of the trio KMD, performing under the name Zev Love X with his younger brother DJ Subroc and another MC called Rodan. After hearing about the group from 3rd Bass, A&R Dante Ross signed KMD to Elektra Records and their recording debut arrived on 3rd Bass’s song “The Gas Face” from The Cactus Album. Their debut album Mr. Hood was released in 1991 and attained modest success with the singles “Peachfuzz” and “Who Me?” KMD disbanded in 1993.
After taking a hiatus from music, Dumile reemerged in 1998, when he began performing at open mic events while wearing a mask. He adopted the MF Doom persona and rarely made unmasked public appearances thereafter. His metal mask resembles that of Marvel Comics super-villain Doctor Doom, who is depicted rapping on the cover of his 1999 debut solo album Operation: Doomsday. DOOM’s most prolific period was in the early 2000s, when he released four studio albums and two collaborative albums between 2003 and 2005, using the MF Doom moniker as well as the pseudonyms King Geedorah and Viktor Vaughn. In the 2010s, he relocated to London, where he recorded more music.
MF DOOM frequently collaborated with other producers and rappers, most notably Madlib, under the moniker Madvillain. The duo's 2004 album Madvillainy received widespread critical acclaim upon its release and has been cited as DOOM’s magnum opus and a landmark album in hip hop. DOOM’s other notable collaborations include Danger Doom (with Danger Mouse), Doomstarks (with Ghostface Killah), JJ Doom (with Jneiro Jarel), NehruvianDoom (with Bishop Nehru), and Czarface Meets Metal Face (with Czarface).
In 2003, MF DOOM released the King Geedorah album Take Me to Your Leader. Geedorah is credited as producer, but only appears as an MC on four tracks. The majority of vocal tracks feature guest MCs, and the album features several instrumental montages of sampled vocals from old movies and TV shows-a technique employed on most of Doom’s albums. Later in 2003, DOOM released the LP Vaudeville Villain under the moniker Viktor Vaughn (another play on Doctor Doom, whose "real name" is Victor von Doom). In 2004 he released a follow-up LP under the Viktor Vaughn moniker, Venomous Villain. Later in 2004, the second MF Doom album Mm..Food was released by Minnesota-based label Rhymesayers Entertainment.
DOOM’s first commercial breakthrough came in 2004, with the album Madvillainy, created with producer Madlib under the group name Madvillain. Released by Stones Throw Records, the album was a critical and commercial success. It has since become known as a MF DOOM masterpiece.

"The mask is showing the whole aspect of the music - that it's all about the music, it has nothing to do with what the person looks like. And it's also - I like to give the listener a feeling of 'I could be them, I could be any one of them' you know what I'm saying? Like, DOOM is the average Joe. He ain't like, the flyest coolest dude, or the one who got all the money, he's just a cat you know that's your man - so the mask is showing everybody that I could be them - or they could be me." - MF DOOM

From what I read he would go bombing on off nights from recording and touring. Not just that, many of his references and slang were drenched in late 80s early 90s NYC I always wondered how people got his shit other than those of us who lived in the area from that era. DOOM held that torch and flipped it for the world. Now he is gone and everything is wack.
I feel so weird knowing that DOOM might blow up now unlike ever before. Real hip hop heads know the villain but in many ways he was our best kept secret. He's just too much for most, between the ridiculous rhyme schemes, the hard to follow stories he creates in your head with his lyricism and his unique often off beat flow that just slaps different. DOOM was unlike any other and for so long it's been my way of identifying the real lovers of the genre. if you fuck with the super villain that you fuck with that real hip hop. He never wanted the fame, the recognition wasn't the motivation. It was about the art, it was about the beats and the rhymes. That shit has mostly been forgotten, so if losing DOOM is the only way to get a bit of that back, then what a sacrifice! It's time the world appreciates the greatness that's been left behind by Daniel Dumile, the greatest to ever do it

I can remember; the first time I heard DOOM when he reemerged on the hip hop scene was the song Impostas off of underground hip hop dot com back in 97; I was like, yo, this is ill. Then I heard Tick Tock with MF GRIMM, and then Gas Drawls, damn!!

As a kid growing up in a small ass ex Soviet Union country where punk is still the most popular music genre, i hated hip hop. It was the i guess "bling" era hip hop, 50 cent, lil wayne when they first started mixing hip hop and pop music. And it didn't help that a lot of our own hip hop was more tongue in cheek type funny rap. By chance, when I first started making my own music for fun, i found one of does highlighted rhymes video on MF DOOM "meat grinder" and it absolutely blew my mind and "tick tock" ft. MF GRIMM broke it. I'm still quite picky about what type of hip hop i like ((mainly Denzel Curry and Token)) DOOM made me love this genre of music and showed me how nearly limitless one can be with writing.

Man, I’m crushed. I just got into DOOM’s music during the quarantine, having learned that I was listening to his music back in his KMD days. He’s a genius. His ideas and aliases was a clever and well thought out concept. The music was always first and he never gave up his artistic integrity. DOOM epitomized the Hip Hop sound and culture. You can listen to his music and hear elements of 70s, 80s, and 90s hip hop. And of course, he was at the forefront of modern Hip Hop and always had a new sound.
The first song I ever heard from DOOM, I was scrolling thru KZread and seen this dude with a mask on. Clicked on the video and it was “one beer”. From then on, I couldn’t get enough. This was in 2009 or 10.

Ghostface killah MF DOOM Immortal Technique
"Im writing for different characters, because it'd be too corny if I was just writing for me". He just all wrecked modern writing right there.
born in 1987. I mainly grew up with the late 90s and early 2000s hip hop. Mf doom was apart of my adolescence along with the whole stones throw family. DOOM dying , is like a part of my childhood dying. His death literally tore a hole in my heart. His music resonates with me in a very special way , much like j dilla , madlib , nujabes. I'm scared. My era is getting older, and time eats away at our body and souls. Tomorrow is not promised. I hope my generation of hip hop strives and drops as many joints as possible. To quote dr Seuss: " dont cry because it's over, smile because it happened".

Simply put the man was a Genius. Whether spitting lyrically heavy wordplay that somehow defied gravity with his funny and nostalgic references to working the consoles and creating equally beautifully crafted beats to can control…. He was the pure essence of Hip Hop in every sense of the word. ALL CAPS WHEN YOU SPELL THE NAME. MF DOOM

I still can’t comprehend that he’s really gone. He will always be the master. The roach is never dead.
Mad props to all those involved in makin this doc proper. Respect. The footage is priceless, and finishing with the MF/Robert Glasper Rhinestone remix was just beauty. From Zev to MF and all the monikers we know him by, Daniel Dumile will never be forgotten. Only remembered as the truly unique Artist and force of nature that he most definitely was. Rest in Peace and Power DOOM. MF The Supavillain!!! One Love.
Always thought I’d have the chance to see him year later still can’t believe he’s gone. Seeing madlib for the second time in November, gonna make sure to appreciate it even more

seeing him live, you can tell he was a true master of his craft, every syllable placed perfectly, complimenting the beat the way he delivers is so fresh. Im still fucking sad about his transition. rest Easy Supavillain you are dearly missed

It’s still so hard to believe he’s gone. When you hear him speak, you can hear the passion about the music. When you hear the music, you can feel the unique style. He was a legend. RIP
Fun fact: His dad was Zimbabwean, hence the name Dumile (prob Doo-mee-leh) and in Ndebele (his father's language) it means Famous. The irony is painful in that he spent the majority of his life resisting fame behind that mask. Dumile. Famous. To us he was more than that though. He was legend.

DOOM got alot of love while he was alive, not just from fans but from alot ofnother artists too. He wasnt mainstream, and didnt need or want to be and its better off that way. DOOM deserves eternal praise. Even for being a villain, he knew he was loved by many.

Perfect ending, that live performance brought a tear to my eye. RIP KING
Without him explaining the idea of the mask, fans still understand the idea of it. Thats what is spectacular about him. Not to many emcees represent that "Hip Hop is universal" concept. Doom and maybe2 or 3 others do or did.
what a great documentary. really paints doom in a positive light. I love how he was purely about the music. Truely a master of his craft. The one and only MF DOOM. Also had no idea madlib was from the westcoast. Mixing the westcoast and eastcoast sound is a match made in heaven
This is basically a collection of all the best DOOM clips out there, but very dope to watch alltogether!!! R.I.P. to one of the last original emcees in the game.
Mf doom was & still is the dopest underground hip hopper there ever was & ever will be period ....king of underground hip hop
32:15 what's crazy is when Steez passed I played Steez's version of that song and the intro made me shed a tear. a few years later I shed a tear to the same intro after DOOM died. Never cried listening to a songs on any other occasion. I will rock this microphoneeeee alwaysssss, still chokes me up, cool to see him perform this bit live.
Randomly heard "Hey!" on Spinner online radio back in 2000 (anyone else remember that?) and was instantly hooked. Didn't expect his passing to hit so hard, I'm a grown man and didn't think I'd feel this way about an entertainer's passing anymore. Realized I just don't look forward to hearing new stuff from anyone like I would with DOOM, he was still so consistently good. And on top of everything he seemed like a genuinely good dude. Gonna miss those rhymes Villain, RIP.
