MF Doom?

there's a new track making the rounds. i like it!

quasimotos 2nd album might appeal if you like doom. maybe edans primitive plus, too.

new album is looking good from what ive heard so far... i hope hes producing the bulk of it.

is there enough interest for an ANTICIPATING BORN LIKE THIS thread?

that's that is killing me. kinda like lynguistics by cunninlynguistics. the bass and guitar playing on it's so nuanced and sweet, almost african kinda.

I'm playing the shit out of the Born Like This sampler. This is easily my most anticipated release for the near future

i love the new album so far. sounds a bit diff to how he used to, not quite as playful, but still dope.

yeah that's that is great. I like the lack of autotune in the terrible singing bit at the end too

i ADORE this album. it should be on everyones best of 2009 list.

when does this come out??

RADIATED HUMANS EATING THE FLESH OF RADIATED HUMANS

yeah that's that is great. I like the lack of autotune in the terrible singing bit at the end too

that singing bit's like my favourite. not terrible at all.

is ghost only on one track on the lp? something i read a while ago made it sound like he'd thrown in some of the sessions they did, kinda abandoning the plans for a full record

DOPE

how are you guys hearing this?

nm

has he used the 'rectal hysterectomy' line before?

that singing bit's like my favourite. not terrible at all.

ya I mean his singing voice is terrible but it fits nicely with the vibe of the whole thing.

heh took a while to click that they're Doom samples in That's That.

the thom yorke remix sounds better on paper.

it sounds like a thom yorke remix. the four tet mixes put the vocals on a different bed of sounds but it still sounded good, this sounds a little jarring

it needs to be more minimal i think.

lool @ "Batty Boyz"

yeh wtf!??!??

the raekwon joint is mad srs

how many tracks from the ghost/doom album made it out last year or whenever that was still being mooted? cos i think the one on here is from those 'sessions'.

"Absolutely" and the Raekwon track kill.

This album scratches both my love of music and my super comicbook nerdom needs.

apparently the ghost/doom project is still in the works. :)

anyone know who empress sharhh is? i wondered if it was apani b but am not sure.

album is too hi-fi. dude works best on shitty king geedorah beats.

^^ yes

It's good and enjoyable, but not anywhere near what he's capable of.

i like him a good bit, but i can't seem to connect with him at all. his songs end up sounding the same to me :/ they sound good, but the same

i haven't really liked anything he's done since Operation:Doomsday (which was my favourite shit in the world in 99/00) cos it all sounds too hi-fi compared to that. guess this new one isn't gonna change that? :(

king geedorah and mmm food were mostly self produced and therefore also his best albums.

mmm food peters out towards the end though, but yeah, side 1 is killer. i think king geedorah is my favourite doom, overall.

i never liked the vv albums cos the beats were boring/too standard underground rap. madvillainy worked cos madlibs beats are kinda undernourished/crumbling too though doom just has an altogether more dilapidated approach to beats which is why his own self produced material works best.

ive a feeling anyone expecting BLT to be like the first taste of a whole new wave of new doom projects is gonna be let down. i dont think doom is really coming back, hes just getting a bit of pocket money.

Unfortunately I think ^^^ is totally OTM. The Doom of 2002, 2003 is gone for good it seems. I'm halfway through my first listen of Born Like This and liking it pretty well so far. My only complaint, and a very minor one at that, is that there seems to be more vocal samples of him talking in silly voices than direct rips from TV shows and comics. I mean, those are still there too, but in less amounts than I really like. His flow on "Gazillion Ear" is crazy good though.

do you even know what the words you are typing mean?

um, his debut?

Well, Vic Vaughan is by far my favorite. Dark and inventive. Normally I have a lot of time for Doom, but (esp. following lip syncing debacle) it's clear he's struggling for scraps. Some of these are 3 years old, the Rae beat has been used...5 times? Vaughan is mixed too high over old beats (suggesting he was barely in the studio) and there's no concept. 4/10.

c'mon that lip syncing thing was classic.

Yeah, but this recovered piece of shit is not.

it's all right, damn

Operation Doomsday > King Geedorah > MMM Food > Madvilliany > Born Like This > Danger Doom > Viktor Vaughn > VV2

er, weirdest ranking ever.

VV>OD>MMMF>KG>MV>DD>VV2>BLL

I'M GONNA CALL YOU DAVE MATTHEWS BECAUSE YOU'RE TRIPPING BILLIES

born like lis

this record is great. fuck you all?

the Rae beat has been used...5 times?

Eh, "UFO" is almost as much of a stock breakbeat as "Funky Drummer" or "Apache" or "Impeach the President". At that point, it's so much a part of the fabric of rap production that any "recycling" criticisms seem beyond the pale.

I dunno really. If that was the case, wouldn't "The Missing Notebook Rhymes" have been more substantial? One of them was JJ DOOM's "Pause Tape" with JJ's verse lopped off. And the trouble that project caused with people DOOM owed music to.

A lot of people feeling like there's gonna be a Madvillainy sequel but I'd be kinda surprised to see it.

xp

I thought Madlib said it was coming?

My feeling is that there's probably a lot of stuff half finished, and frankly, I'd imagine his wife and children could use whatever money can come in via new releases

guest verses from del and dmc, wow

Did he? There was all this noise about how it's "85% done" (which has been the case for like a decade) and something about DOOM's manager giving his blessing. At the moment Stones Throw can sell as much of the original as they print. I have no doubt they'll get around to some new Madvillain product but I think it's more likely to be a collection of mostly already-released stray tracks or an EP of the ones that didn't get an official release yet. It's hard to imagine there's a lot that hasn't gotten any airing at all yet (or doesn't contain verses that ended up on another thing). But then 25 minute albums are a thing now.

yeah my sense is theres probably a lot of unreleased/half-finished music around and not a lot of consensus about who owns it

Got to be some doom stuff sitting at home with his family. Impossible that there wouldnt be, even if it's just beats.

eh so this new album is not enough DOOM and way too much Eso. Not barrel scrapings exactly but nothing revelatory or crucial either

does it matter?

Shoulda done a series of the random dudes who would perform as him

i just realized that megalon's "who you want me to be/true thugging mc..." line was a buju banton reference

https://www.theguardian.com/music/2023/jul/06/leeds-hospital-trust-apologises-after-rapper-mf-doom-died-in-its-care?CMP=Share_AndroidApp_Other

saw this earlier.
i had no idea re him having any connection to leeds.

Yeah i know. Wondering if he was living in the UK at the time so that he could get NHS treatment? Anyway what a sad and somewhat mundane way to go :(

so many mysteries surrounded his death - like, wasn't he supposed to have died some time before his family made it public?

this story, though... what a waste. what a tragedy.

he was born in the uk, grew up and lived in the us and then was deported later in life iirc

knew he was born in london, didn't know about the deportation though. any idea why?

seems complicated but partially because paperwork was too expensive/never filed when he was a kid, and then a buncha stuff never went through as it should've when he was an adult, plus he kept getting arrested, seems pretty kafkaesque

oh thanks!

Slick Rick similarly faced deportation to the UK (Jesus, where IS he?)
