Lmao...

well MF Doom is a very interesting, complicated underground cat. I suggest if you want some info on him that you do the research, its impossible to describe quickly.

Basically hes a weird dude, the MF stands for Metal-Faced, and his whole persona is based on like cartoon characters. he has several aliases, including King Geedorah and Viktor Vaughn.

In total, with his solo albums, solo albums from his aliases, and combined efforts with MF Grimm, Danger Mouse, and others, he has like 16 albums. I own most of them, i dont have 1 or 2 of them. A lot of his albums are just straight instrumental albums.

His style is strange too, but many people like him. Because of the massive amount of shit he puts out, hes considered the top underground rapper of late basically. however i cant stand his shit, i just have all his albums downloaded for collection purposes. the only stuff i can listen to is some of his beat instrumentals, Operation Doomsday, MM Food, and Dangerdoom.

overall i dont like mf doom, i just have all his music because of his great popularity and i need to hear it to evaluate. however, i rarely, if ever bump any of his shit

Yea, well said. I was going to use a Kool Keith analogy but didn't - but MF reminmds me of Keith. Except I can actually laugh at Keith lyrics so I find them entertaining.

lol that is true, he has that same type of personality as Keith in his raps, but more child-friendly-like rather than gross, bathroom humor. Doom may have adapted a style from Kool Keith, either way i don't like either of them but i have a lot of both's music and i definitely respect Keith more

All 'beef' that we have is put aside for this. Now outta all honesty why are you worrying about what others think. Many have different styles, opinons and feelings on certain artists. Some peeps are gonna enjoy MF Doom's shit others not. But in order for you to obtain your "own" opinon of the guy why dont ya check him out. Like I said no hate just bein real.

I have Madvilliny and Vaudeville Villian, and both are fuckin wack as hell. On madvillin the beats were horrible and the lyrics were corny, he sometimes raps so quietly you cant hear him and some of the words he says are either rediculous or not even real words.

Aw, shut the fuck up! ^^^^ Madlib's beats with MF Doom's lyrics... pffff... Could NOT be a better collaboration.

DJ Danger Mouse is not his alias, it's a different DJ...

the opening skit on the DangerDoom CD goes something like "Adult Swim presents: DangerDoom!".. and the adult swim guy talks for a second, i thought that was weird, but yea i guess this guy has some connection to adult swim

I think he is one in my top5... maybe top 3 artists of all time. Definately get his new record, MM..Food is what you're refering to right? He's based on Doctor Doom, the villain from the Fantastic 4. I have the new record, a bootleg of Operation Doomsday, and one of his Special Herbs volumes, an Instrumental album. His beats are amazing, unlike anything else. I'm sorta addicted to his music right now.

I think basically, he goes into the studio, smokes a shit load (and I mean a lot) of weed and makes brilliant albums. It's really hard to describe to you how much I love his music.

And you could laugh at "MM..Food" (all the titles of the songs have something to do with food), but when you listen to it a good five times or so, it really hooks you. I'd make love to the album if I could.

Oh, but wait, you're refering to DangerDoom right, well I'd pick that up too. I'm gonna get it, comes out mid October.

i was waiting for a big MF Doom fan to comment, cause i know there are many of them. hes just really not my style at all.

but how do you say hes a top 3 of yours if you only have a few of his albums?? he has like 17 cd's, so if your that huge of a fan, you need way more than 3 or 4 albums

haha thanks...

i try to get away from the useless noobs, but i noticed early on that this forum has weak writing and battle sections, so i started off in my first month battling, i was 4-1 or 5-1, i dont remember and at this point dont care..

i realized that it takes weeks just to get votes on battles, and if its a noob battle, vets dont pay any attention. so from there i looked around and saw that as a trend and stopped writing/battling.. occassionally i still peep the sections, but i dont drop anything... maybe i'll get back to it sometime

That's just the point though. Still with 3 albums from his gigantic repetoire, I'm still blown away. Just think if I had heard all of them. I'd probably end up being a hermit and starting my own cult. Plus, there's no way I could get my hands on all of em. Where I live, it's pretty slim pickins' as far as music goes.

No doubt, Mr. Hood is amazing.

I started off with an answer, love smokes no cancer stick/
but on a dancer stick, is a romancer/

And what was the deal with the whole transition from Zevlove X to Doom anyway? Something to do with the death of Subroc? Anyone?

After his Brother got run over. Zevlove cut himself off from everyone and when Electra wouldnt release 'Black Bastards' coz of the cover art he disappeared from the scene altogether to 'recover from his wounds' and seeking revenge on the industry that he said wounded him so badly.

About 5 years later he then resurfaced as MF Doom and I guess the mask is to cover 'his wounds'.
