2023 gang. This clip is still golden as ever. One of the greatest artists of all time, casually memorizing and reciting lyrics of a mostly unknown. Don't get me wrong, DOOM is also one of the greatest artists of all time, but he was not even close to the same conversation as Mos Def at the time. If this happened today, DOOM would be put on immediately. There just wasn't the means back in 2004ish. This is like J Cole reciting a SoundCloud rapper's lyrics. Just insane.

My personal fav is “how doom hold heat and preach non-violence? He bout to start the speech, c’mon silence!”

Crazy to see this come full circle with Yasin doing these DOOM shows RIP DOOM

Questlove: It was the Voodoo record-release party for D’Angelo [in 2000], and Mos Def showed up in his kitted-up, chauffeur-driven van with music blasting. He rolled down the window and said to me, “Yo, you gotta get in here.” I tried to convey to him that Mark Ronson and I were DJ-ing the party, but he was like, “No, man. We gotta have a discussion.” I was preparing myself for some kind of deep talk, but he just started preaching the gospel of DOOM. I’m talking a 40-minute monologue, almost something like a Jehovah’s Witness would preach, trying to convert me to a new religion. He was like, “Do you understand the majestic gift that is Operation: Doomsday?” At the time, I had been listening to it with a different set of ears. [I said] “Oh, is that Zev Love X’s project?”Before Mos turned me around, my early thoughts of Operation: Doomsday, and skimming through it, were, It’s post Wu-Tang; the loops are sloppy. Anita Baker and J.J. Fad? C’mon now … I can’t spin this in the club. My initial response was more scoff than whoa. Mos was not going to give up. He memorized that whole album like his life depended on it. He memorized it like my life depended on it. He made me listen to “Rhymes like Dimes” three times over. He was determined to convince me that it was the dopest shit out. He kept breaking it down to me until he finally planted the seed in me.

Man nothing has humanized Mos Def more for me than this video

When I heard DOOM instant remembered Mos reciting his lyrics. RIP Villain.

This video literally gives me chills. Goosebumps, man. The lyrical genius of Mos Def and MF Doom is almost unconscionable. Real truly recognizes real.

I love how Rap/Hip Hop has a sense of family at the core. That all competition & adversarial relationships have brotherhood & love at the conclusion and result. Bringing out the best in one's own abilities, seeing it without jealousy in those of others and being honest about the greatness of others. A beautiful way of thinking and being. Western Civilization could learn a lot from this little explorered jewel "Rap/Hip Hop". It encompasses all that is life. The good, bad, beautiful and ugly. I love that i was born in the 80's and that I discovered hip hop when it was going through it's larval stages. I wish people really knew what Hip Hop is and weren't so quick to leap to their stereotypes and uniformed conclusions. It lives on still.

@@tupd it's split into two factions, rap and poetry. Just like before but poetry/advanced rap is becoming easier to market thanks to artists that dabble in both sides and people like DOOM, Lupe, King Los, etc

"He rhymes as weird as I feel" that's why we all listenin

I’m not gonna lie, this is the actual video that put me on to MF DOOM. Even just listening to him repeat the lines was enough to hook me.

The subtleties of the syllables and the meanings and the humor goddamn LOL. "DOOM the great, a lot more confident, came a long way since the days we had to rhyme for rent."

Doom greatest of all time period

+Myceliumification best battle rapper I'd agree, but DOOM is better all around. Your opinion may vary.

This video sent me on a journey through his discography man... The best never make it to 50

Watching an alien mc geek over another alien mc the way I feel over alien mcs always brings me joy

I love this. DOOM's delivery is low-key so ppl miss how ill his lines are w/o multiple close listens. Mos really does a great job accentuating the words here, it really hits home just how crazy nice DOOM is. So much complexity, clever wordplay, vocabulary etc etc

Mos gonna make me go back and listen to the lyrics again.

this is my favorite KZread video ever

After hearing Doom passed today I immediately thought of this video. R.I.P. MF Doom

I need about 2 hours of this.

Paid like a biker with the best crank/ spray like a high trained sniper in the west bank. Top five lyricist of all time. And when its said and done he will be the greatest of all time.

Lupe greatest no offense but it's hard picking between the two. Especially after Lupe last album.

i come back to this every month , and love it even more, each viewing

"how you gonna sell crack and talk about it?" 😭

I’ve come back here a lot over the years just to remind myself that my favorites have favorites

hits different now, RIP DOOM

MF DOOM made beats and especially lyrics where you can find everytime something new...its magical and actually unique. We miss you! ❤

Mos Def giving mad props to MF DOOM while he rolls a joint during a recording session of The Ecstatic? I meaaaaaan, it just doesn't get any better than this.

This needs to be in a hip hop museum

4:39 “i just kept staring at it going ‘i understand you’” bro... that part. i felt that shit.

Had to come back to this one... Rest in paradise DOOM!

"He rhymes...as weird as I feel." Yeah man that makes perfect sense.

Had to watch this video again. RIP DOOM
