YOUR FAVORITE RAPPERS ....FAVORITE RAPPER IS PROBABLY MF DOOM........
That is >>> if your favorite rapper is quirky , extremely skilled at the 4 fundamental elements of hip hop , intelligent , and cynical of pop culture .
Mf doom is what the smog in NY city would sound like if it had a voice
Legend has it that after a horrible experience within mainstream raps industry in the early 90s as rapper zev love x from the rap group KMD and the death of his close personal brother dj subroc
daniel dumile emerged donning a mask as MF doom to hide his horribly disfigured self and vowed revenge on mainstream rap culture
this is a genius art imitating life move on his part seeing as how in the mid 90s music in general had shifted towards instant gratification for listeners who seemed to be more concern about how pretty their favorite rap star looked on mtv
rather than the sound and message of the actual music .....
Doom quickly established himself under his new moniker as one of the most boundary pushing mcs in underground hip hop. by the early 2000's with a slew of classic albums all culminating at what some would say is the crown jewl of his catalogue .
2004's Madvillainy = a collaboration with production master mind Madlib .
which has been described by fellow music snob and album reviewer the needle drop " as the most celebrated abstract hip hop album ever " full review can be seen below
in early 2002 one thursday night a group of friends came over to my apartment and asked me if i was going out to our local hip hop music venue .........
i was kind of tired from working all week and i responded = why???? who's going to be performing tonight
they responded MF DOOM
: i politely declined their offer as .....at the time i too had no idea of who mf doom was or what he would go on to accomplish in the years to come .
needless to say that moment is one of the biggest regrets i have in my life .
rumour has it the night was epic with a great performance ending in some one actually stealing mf dooms infamous mask [ i did mention that buffalo ny is a gully place ] ..........the mask is theorized to still be floating around the city somewhere .
i could literally talk about doom all night but ill let mos def finish up why hes so great for me .......
