A dedication piece to remember 2020’s last middle finger- MF DOOM’s death (July 13, 1971-October 31, 2020)
One of the MCs and artists that supported the true artistry of underground rap scene and Graffiti art. If only people can utterly understand the greatness of this man’s debut with Operation Doomsday way back in 1999 that is literally from Marvel Comic’s Dr. Doom. His brother died, whatever left that they produced was rejected by the record labels, destroying his advocacies and vision. Then, he rose from the ashes like Jesus Christ as MF DOOM after a 3-year hiatus and being pretty much homeless and sleeping on benches of New York to seek revenge on the music industry with the whole ‘DOOM/villain/rap game terrorist’ persona. He never revealed his face, kept his life private to stay genuine like Dr. Doom’s character for years.
“WHEN YOU COME TO A DOOM SHOW, COME EXPECTING TO HEAR MUSIC, DON’T COME EXPECTING TO SEE.
EVERYTHING WE DO IS VILLAIN STYLE”
- Your favorite rapper’s favorite rapper, A Rolling Stone interview (2009)
This man even made the Halloween his own doomsday. A real villain.
…AND JUST REMEMBER, ALL CAPS WHEN YOU SPELL THE MAN NAME
