Alright, well it was only a few days ago when the news broke that M.F. DOOM had performed a show in the ATL and was said to NOT be lip synching. We had posted a link to the source of this information, which was Pitchfork Media, which also included pictures from the show. Later that night, the link was suspiciously removed with no explanation. Well we now know why. Allegations have surfaced, that if prove to be true, would prove that the man you know as Daniel Dumile aka M.F. DOOM is apparently a fraud- a fake ass MC who lip synchs his live shows and cheats his own fans out of their own hard earned money. If this turns out to be the nail in DOOM’s coffin, don’t feel bad just because you enjoy his music and persona, this is a culture that was built off putting fake **** on blast, and the underground is supposed to be about real mother****ers doing real things. Lip synching at a LIVE HIP HOP SHOW is the textbook hip hop definition of wackness. Other artists should stand the **** up and put this mother ****er on blast if they know something. M.F. DOOM is basically the Ashlee Simpson of hip hop right now - and until he proves otherwise, going to a DOOM show is like spending your money to see Milli Vannili live. Dude is furiously faking the funk.
The show, which took place a week ago, December 13th @ the MJQ in Atlanta also featured John Robinson, Dres The Beatnik, and Stacy Epps – and while these respected performers all did their part to deliver a good show, the 20 minute fiasco that was the DOOM set is chronicled in a recent blog posting from our homey Senor Kaos – courtesy of The Kaos Effect Blog:
“Finally at 1:28 AM a figure wearing a mask emerges from the back and takes the stage. Kids go crazy! He never greets the crowd, says hello or anything, and hes wearing some Fatigue cargo net looking thing covering his head.” Kaos continues, “So without greeting the crowd, this person jumps into songs while Lip Sinching the whole time. How do you he was lip sinching kaos? Because money had the CD quality vocals, and anybody who has ever performed or watched a show at MJQ knows that the sound aint that damn good! (no dis to mjq). There was no talking other than the verses, No what up, how ya’ll doing, get ya hands up, none of that! And later on the evening I was told by a source that there wasn’t even a signal in dudes Cordless Mic. Things that make you go Hmmmmm….”
So if that wasn’t enough, the promoter of the show went on his myspace page the following day to express sorrow for all the fans who spent money at the show and posted a bulletin stating the following:
“Many apologies go to all of you who came out to the MF DOOM show last night at MJQ and paid $30 of your hard earned money only to watch him lip sinc for 20 minutes at 1:30 in the morning. This was by far one of the single worst experiences I’ve had as a club promoter and I sincerely apologize if you walked away feeling cheated. To make matters even worse MF DOOMS appointed doorman took off with all the money from the door after the show! As soon as we realized the money was stolen we decided to help ourselves to all of MF DOOMS merchandise which included a bunch of T shirts and posters. So, in an effort to make it up to everyone who walked away feeling cheated, we’re giving away all the merchandise for free so come and get it while supplies last!! And if that’s not enough, feel free to let MF DOOM aka Daniel Dumile know how you really feel by calling him at his home in Kennesaw Georgia.”
He then went on to post DOOM’s full name and address and phone number, which we won’t repost here. And now, video footage from the event has officially leaked, and sure enough, the vocals sound suspiciously CD Quality –

So what the **** is going on DOOM? At this point, your fans demand some answers and really should stop supporting you if these allegations prove true – and this is coming from someone who works at a store that sells a lot of your product. It's time for some answers, and no tongue in cheek, "Whattup I'm Dead" bull****.
