MF Doom?

man I can't remember most of his titles. One of those artists whose albums I just play and the titles don't matter a damn.

There won't be an exhaustive list of what's eligible. Good resources I've found for stray tracks are Genius and RYM.

i hear ya. thought i'd give a heads up!

I will definitely vote in this

I will too. thank you!

love crazy doom fans. sold my old vinyl for more than i ever thought possible.

Jumpin JePOLLaphat, who's that? -- ILM Artist Poll #108 Daniel Dumile (MF DOOM, Zev Love X, Viktor Vaughn, King Geedorah, etc.) - Campaigning, Discussion, Equivocating until 4/11

bump. bout a week left.

Anyone else who was planning to vote?

Blessed be the lord who believe any POLL RESULTS they read up on a message board: ILM Artist Poll #108 - MF DOOM

rollout going on

New album with Czarface, apparently was a delayed release cuz Covid. On first listen I like it more than the last one, much better production. Whole thing is like 25 minutes.

seems suspiciously like it could be scraps and leftovers from their previous sessions, but maybe im wrong and its totally legit. does seem odd to have held off on it for so long.

does it matter?

no, but its fun to speculate.

there has to be so many half finished DOOM projects with ppl out there

wonder what will happen to the one with flying lotus he was working on.

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

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?)
