MF Doom?

Also, I would 100% percent be on board with DOOM having faked his own death because A) It means DOOM is alive and B) It would piss everyone off, ergo being an all-time great supervillain move

Id like it if he killed doom, and even d.dumile, but only so he could become a new character. Here's hoping

great article

last question about his vaults is intriguing, hope more stuff comes out

I had not seen this until now - he was only 19!

that footage is crazy

I don't think im an expert enough to run it but if it hasn't been said already, DOOM deserves his own breakout tracks/albums/career poll

Cool footage. Love that type of NYC accent.

yeah they are so sute

cute*

Before the pandemic really threw my whole job in to a mess, I was trying to get a big rap poll on the go and had to renege it. I would love to help anyone who wanted to run a DOOM/KMD poll though

i thought someone volunteered to do it on the "there should be an ILM poll" thread?

I suggested it there but was more intending to throw it out there, I’m not able to run it.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m000r3zg

i could do it. Not gonna let it not happen like. But let's give it a month or two. In the meantime I'll try and sort out what should be eligible as i think this would be thornier than most of these polls (eg, Pitchfork's list of 10 tracks includes a bootleg remix off of "Sadevillain" that features a verse better/clearer than its official release). Is that kind of thing the poll volunteer's call? I've followed a few of these things but only taken part once.

Stretch, Bobbito, and KMD's A&R guy are on the new NY Times Popcast, in separate interviews.

dante ross?

the genie? granting us three wishes?

3 gods of New York 90s rap in one podcast.

I used to have the doom x nas’s worst album on vinyl and loved it, but yeah, mash ups and stuff shouldn’t make the list

yeah you're right. I'll take this on sometime after the 2020 poll if a more qualified pollsperson doesn't. Might need help getting all of the features listed.

I have that doomstradamus somewhere too. Not sure if it was even legit though... wished I had kept my madvillainy lp now, seeing as it appears to be worth half a grand now

nah it's a bootleg. And although it turns out Doom was sorta bootlegging himself with those "Missing Notebook" tracks that made it out, I would want to include those.

Heard a nice recent bootleg with Nujabes beats.

That nyt podcast wasnt bad. Dante Ross was the best. Bobbito talked too much about fondle em. Caramanica kept talking about dooms textures, which is right, but it's also about the weird rhythms, the off, rza ish sense of timing. Like a much looser prince Paul.

I was forgetting the poll scheduling thread when I was here setting my own rough timeline lol. I'll go post there that I could do it.

a hoy hoy: how were you interested in/able to help?

I can't be bothered with Popcast much but it was pretty informative. Keeping the subscription can come in handy.

idk. maybe i could make graphics or something?

That'd be great. I'm rusty with Photoshop but would be no problem sharing the load on rollout images if you did up the template.

the start of this thread is hilarious

listening to special herbs and spices, i forgot how good him and mf grimm were together. dooms beats during this period were absolutely fire. people focus on the more whimsical, quirky stuff, but he also had some absolutely volcanic bangers.

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.

been talking w other folks online abt this recently but the beats on viktor vaughn 1 are super dope

otm. listened to vaudevillain the other day, holds up

production on vaudeville is incredible

More incredible than the geedorah album? That album has such a fantastic set of beats .

The thing about Grimm is that Grimm also sounded kind of depressed as well as sinister which fit those beats so well

apples & oranges

Scars and memories, Memories and scars, I look up in the sky and I wonder where you are

I haven't tried to sell any music at these crazy prices going around... Got an offer on Discogs for $100 for the Vaudeville Villain CD. Just from having it in my collection. Shit's crazy.

Sold my vv literally weeks before he died for £95. Shame I didnt wait longer!

oops, just saw that was already posted.

If there's one catalog album I've played by any artist since Jan. 1, it's Operation: Doomsday. Every day in my car.

good tunes for riding out for sure!

Poll's going to get started when the Todd Rundgren results rollout is done. It's everything but bootlegs. KMD, MF DOOM and all other aliases, all productions, features, herbs, blends, go nuts and I'll sort it out. Will link the poll here when it's up!
