Note: no, your it didn’t glitch, the Quincy Jones sample caused a full block, a month after this was released, so I had to edit it out.

For anyone who hasn't gone through MF DOOM's discography yet, it's a rabbit hole, believe me. His music to this day is so incredibly unique. Everything about him is so non-conformist and strange that you can't help but listen. RIP Dumile

I remember seeing doom in the early 2000 in LA. I remember he was like almost 2hours late, but when he finally came it was amazing. Next thing you know someone next to us was rapping the lyrics to all his songs, that man was mos def.

this album is just buttery slickness

Something to note that im sure MANY will have understood by now is the grave/gravestone double entendre with his name. "Dumile" sounding eerily like "Doom'll lay" being... doom'll lay 6 fit deep. On top of the rhyme scheme, he made his last name have a double entendre whil rhyming everything together.. there's a reason everyone loves Hip-Hop's most mad villain to date. R.I.P to the legend.

Dude, at this rate you're going to become one of the biggest music channels on KZfaq by the end of the year! The content is quality, unique and consistent. Keep it up!

One of the best underground albums of all time dropped on one of the greatest underground labels of all time. RIP M.F. Doom!

Still listen to all of DOOM’s albums often. He passed away to early. His collaborations w/ Czarface are some of the best Hip-Hop in the past five years. The loss cannot be measured.

I remember browsing thru some boring shit in the record shop and just as I was about to leave empty-handed the store owner handed me doomsday that just had come out. My perception of hiphop music changed right there forever.

That Gas Drawls comparison was nuts. He honed in on his skill so much in a short period of time.

"Your favorite MC's favorite MC" Statement of the day.

This album immediately became an all-time favorite, when I realized exactly what it was back around '99. KMD was one of my favorites, and just realizing what this guy did on this album, blew my freaking mind. I always explained to people that this was his grief on record, and a middle finger to the music industry.

It’s great to see a video like this. A lot of the videos on DOOM now are from people who don’t know hip hop, who have a very shallow level of understanding of the genre, giving the videos one dimensional elements (mainly due to his explosion in recent years). This is different, as I know well by now that digging the greats is full of knowledge and taste. I’m 14, and I’ve been bumping DOOM since 10, can’t wait to sit back and watch this. Peace from Ireland 💪

Thank you for making a video on this, it’s my favourite album of all time

This right here. Finally, the DOOM story told in a coherent narrative. And it doesn’t “ruin the joke by explaining it”, it enriches it. Btw I’ve been a huge fan of this channel for a while now, i could tell pretty early on, that the ideas here were on a trajectory going towards some amazing unique material and my expectations now have been so incredibly surpassed, that this art analysis becomes art in its own right.

THIS SHIT IS SO GOOD! I haven't heard many of Mf Doom's stuff but vids like these really make me feel like im missing out. Amazing stuff man!

I used to do class reports on DOOM way back before it was “cool” to like his stuff. I love the way you broke down this album

I remember hearing DOOM's "Mmm Food?" album back in 2005 when one of my friends put me onto him; been a fan ever since, and have been digging through the rabbit hole ever since. Dudes not only a beast on the lyrics but also with the beats and just creating dope albums all around. It hit me hard when I learned of his passing, played a lot of his stuff for like a month. Thanks for this video man! RIP DOOM!

I love how the author of this video explains how a complex rap poem works by using fundamental technical terms. They are accurately explained. You can tell he is hip to both chambers. At first it could sound silly, but he respects both sides, and it's factual. He could explain these things to a fan, musician, critic, anyone...

Always wanted to see a video from you about Black Bastards but this is the next best thing. Its great to hear such a tragic, interesting and almost cinematic story covered on this channel

I have waited a long time for a breakdown about MF DOOM. So so unique guy. Thank you! I hope you can make a video about Madvillainy, a hip hop masterpiece, one of the greatest album of all time by one of the most complex musical genius. Rest in beats DOOM, a legend.

I’ve never heard of MF Doom and was surprised to hear he passed away in 2020. The lyrics about being with his brother hits a bit harder.

This album made me go buy a SP 404 and try to make lofi hip hop. Another great video.

I was looking up the lyric to what it would say on his tomb about two hours after he passed. Was the most surreal experience. R.I.P DOOM.

You need to break down the song he did with de la soul, love the pacing and choices on that track

I got the notification for this video and clicked immediately. DTG does not disappoint.

been waiting on some DOOM content from you!

You're really good at this dude

Been on yet another DOOM music binge lately, so this video is perfect timing 🤣 Rest in Power to the SuperVillain!

ever since i started watching you i’ve been introduced to so many amazing artists i wouldn’t have ever found before. Tribe, De La Soul, The Roots, Questlove etc. you’re a legend sir thankyou 🙏

It was about time for this channel to honor the late great MF DOOM. Interesting digging as always, man.

MF DOOM - артист с одной из самых интересных историй, человек брошенный индустрией придумал супергероя и стал легендой хип-хоп культуры!

I’m case you didn’t know or if anyone didn’t know… after the album got shelved . Dumile got Depressed and was drinking everyday of his life until he Met MF GRIMM. A rhyme master at the time in Ny who was battling I believe and was good too. And he didn’t come up with the name himself . Both him and Grimm settled on Doom. Because of his history in Marvel Comics. Doom coming back as a villain not a hero when he came back with powers . And the title MF was given to him by Grimm wich stands for Mad Flows . He is not the only one with the title MF Mez etc etc other members as well. Doom flipped the name later on to Metal Fingers Doom on production notes henceforth metal fingers special blends the beat tapes. All in all someone picked up this man from the ground when he was down bad, real shit Doom was homeless, I never hear anybody talk about MF Grimm that’s sad cause they used to be best friends. And we’re beefing at the end kind of before he passed away. LLDoom🕊️. Big Ups to Jet Jaguar ( MF Grimm ) and the Monsta Island Csarz!

Maybe I'm trippin and it's just a cartoon to you. But I got chills when I heard how DOOM flipped the Scooby Doo.

You never disappoint, my friend.

1, at the time of his debut album the mask he used was a cut Kane mask that was spray painted grey, 2, that last line of the first song IS a reference to “it’s a bird, it’s a name” but it’s also a callback to his references to jeopardy earlier in the track

DOOM in full effect

Thank you for this. I was late to DOOM noticing him from the Grind Date album and then realized he's everywhere. Was listening to Chrome Children earlier. I appreciate your love of the craft.

I’m glad I was around to pick these up when they were coming out. I just listened to this again a few months ago and I catch myself still just replaying and unpacking more things. Good memories. Thanks for making this and all the content you do.

I really like your work, from the content to the delivery, the style, visuals... amazing quality And just saying, I would love an episode about ODB's Return to the 36 Chambers, or a song from it like Going down or else Peace and ❤ from France

Just found your page as I've been clicking through alot of videos learning how to sample. I have to say your content is great and ive been running through them all. I'm a 90's hip hop head forever. Keep up the great content I'll be tuning in

This is the video I've been waiting for you to make and it did not disappoint.

As someone who has been following you for a while and has been a huge DOOM fan for many years, I just gotta say, you've done it again my man! This video was incredibly informative and entertaining, you can really see your love and admiration for DOOM and his incredible skill & story. That last line from "?" Has always made me tear up ("Everything is going according to plan, man"). You really did it justice and even I, a diehard fan, learned a lot from your video. Great work as always!! 👏👏

5:19 Good vowel rhymes too, 'back' and 'that's' on the same beat. And 'engraved' and 'hey' follows the 'ay' formula.

Legend also says that dooms name is still written under that top bunk to this day.

Loved this my dawg!!! RIP TO THE VILLAIN. May he dance in heaven with his brother forever! Wondering if you would ever do a Madvillainy breakdown? 👀👀It’s such an amazing project. From that album I discovered Sun-Ra, who would also be a great candidate for a DTG episode lol. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🖤🖤

What an excellent video Never have I heard anybody break down this album with such details & samples used. I've been listening to it since it came out and to this day still find nuggets of gold in the lyrics! Fantastic review 👏🏾

PLEASE PLEASE more DOOM in future videos! There so much to dig into from the production to his rhymes, iconography, mythos, just everything about him was fascinating. I would legit watch hours and hours of you breaking down DOOM tracks.

Great video! Very happy to finally see some DOOM content. The way DOOM created his own universe in each record and then created multiple characters who lived in their own universes is unparallelled imo. Competing with himself cos nobody else could touch him. Best rapper - MF DOOM Best beat maker - Dilla I'll die on this hill.

Your video’s are so good! Thanks for helping me understand the complex albums of MF Doom, I have gained a new level of appreciation for his work now.

DOOM really was one of a kind, had his own unique sound.

Just making my normal comment about how good I think this channel is. Already recommended the video. On a personal note, I’m really happy to see you covering Doom. One of my absolute favorites on the mic and I always loved how he (or his producers) would mix in things like the Scooby Doo sample that I recognized from Saturday morning cartoons as a kid. You also commented that “he’s your favorite rapper’s favorite rapper” or some such, but I’d also point out that I think Doom was one of the more beloved rappers by lyricists in other genres. My first musical love is rock and I remember after he died there were a lot of rock songwriters I follow (I specifically remember Thom Yorke of Radiohead saying something about him; I know there were several others but I don’t want to name names if I’m not sure who it was) who praised his creativity and wordplay in tributes to him. I guess the ability to not only come up with a 9 syllable rhyme but have it flow with the beat and being on point for the overall subject of the song transcends genre? Second side note- I know you tend to go back in time with your song choices but there’s a great song “Belize” on the album Danger Mouse and Black Thought did that features a verse from Doom that I’d definitely be curious to see a breakdown about.

This channel is SUCH A GEM. The production quality/knowledge is mesmerizing to watch/listen to!

Another fantastic video dude! Doom is one of my favourite artists. I've listened to Operation Doomsday countless times, but I still learned so much from your video! You covered the LP in fascinating detail and I wanted to let you know that the sheer amount of work that you put into all of your videos doesn't go unnoticed. Have a good day!

I love these deep dives and break downs fam!!! Keep em coming you got a new subscriber!

Imagine had his brother not passed and they were able to carry out those alternative characters

Love this content, even managed to learn a new thing or two. As a new viewer I'm really into your style of video and execution. You differ greatly from other KZfaqrs in how you present yourself and speak to your audience and it's grabbed me as a new subscriber. Keep up the fantastic content.

Please keep it up man, all your videos have been insanely well made and fascinating

Dude, I love your videos! Your topics, knowledge of music and pop culture are very inspiring. Was this my favorite....man, I don't know. You have a multitude of gems in your bag, it's hard to decide. Thanks for your contribution!

Great Video and Research, mad props!

this is so perfectly timed. i was searching your channel for an MF DOOM video last night

Been waiting in this! I know you would get around to MF Doom eventually. You’ve got impeccable taste!

New Sub, I appreciate this work and dedication.. Keep it up. Inspiring. I grew up in this era and lived in the same location in BK. really brings back good memories and the aesthetics of what hip hop used to be..

I found your channel last night and searched to see if you had made any videos about MF DOOM. Scary timing, but I'm not complaining!

One of the greatest. Looking forward to an episode on Prof one of these days, would love to hear a detailed history on everything that artist has overcome to create a substantial presence in hip hop today.

fuckin LOVE this channel, been watchin every video you drop sense I got recommended your first video. dooms my fav rapper of all time n i have been waiting so long for you do make a video on him!

Lowkey great album analysis I’ve been obsessing over DOOM’s earlier shit ever since I started listening and seeing someone talk about it this in depth about the character, the separation from the main industry, the purpose of the mask itself, niggas usually don’t go this deep but I’m glad you did all love bro

Another great video, sir. So much respect for what you do here. Fingers crossed you make the jump to Madvillainy to round out Doom’s too short story arc. 🙌🏼

Incredible work!!! Well done and to the point. I go back to hip hop's very beginning and had the pleasure of seeing it go from the Saturday afternoon throw down in the park when none of us had a dime to the stages worldwide making millions. MF DOOM was one unique brother!!! Gone too soon like all of our musical greats. This video is a history lesson. Required viewing for all who love hip hop. The sad truth is he never received his props while alive.

Can you please make a video unpacking the references in this man's music? They're so obscure, and I've never really gotten them. I would love nothing more ❤

Thank you so much for these invaluable incites into one of my favorite artists! I learned so much. RIP MF Doom!

Bro I swear I love how your do your homework!!! Please keep this up!!

You have been my favorite channel for a while now the passion for the music is so infectious

RIP to a legend man..If nothing else, never forget….always use ALL CAPS WHEN YOU SPELL THE MAN NAME! 🕊️ 🙏🏽 🕊️

At 9.06 you claim that 'Clementine' and 'Valentine' is a 3 syllable rhyme... But, the actual rhyme from DOOM is - 'Oh my Darling Clementine - He hold his Heart when he Telling Rhyme'... it's a SEVEN SYLLABLE RHYME. Yes, 7. You should annotate this in the vid. x

Been a MF Doom fan for a while now, but there’s still so much I’ve learned from your video! I really appreciate your content, keep up the great work ☺️

This my most favorite channel on KZfaq period! Like bro then put me on some real shit ever since I got here

Woo! Finally. It's great that you actually listen to your fans!

Finally, the long awaited DOOM video!

I just had to subscribe after that segue to the Preemo video! Awesome video. RIP DOOM

Shot out to my father on that album cover for the The Deele, his credit is the art direction.

Great video! Also nice OG pressing of Operation Doomsday 😋

Very Solid breakdowns from perspectives most people miss. "accordion" was my introduction to Doom... Man... that dude was bad ass.

One of the greatest KZfaq channels period.

man MF DOOM is the best. Shouts out DTG

I thought I knew my 90s hip hop but this is a new one for me. Thank for sharing. Looks like a fun and interesting rabbit hole to go travelling down.

I was fortunate to have worked with MFDOOMs Operation Doomsday album when it got released on subpop. They needed to remaster it, as an assistant mastering engineer at Absolute Audio NYC, i got to chill with him in the reference room and smoke a bit, he had me run to the store for some hennesy a few tines haha. It hit me that he was the KMD o.g. was really amazing, i got to keep an pre release version to myself for months listening everyday. Real Genius man. RIP DOOM 🙏

He was your favorite rapper's favorite rapper! Thank you I needed this👍🏾🙌🏾🙏🏾

Seeing you break down these samples is so satisfying! Please do a breakdown of Paul's Boutique

This has to be the best explanation of dooms first album i ever listened to.. Keep up the great work.

What a great break down. I remember my cousin playing the vinyl after purchasing the album from Fat Beats on West 4th street in NYC. If you know you know.

Man this channel going to be cemented as a Hip-Hop Museum at this rate. Hitting all the hallmarks

Most amazing rapper ever! Thx for this great video! R.I.P DOOM ♥

Loved this video, new sub. Cheers from parkdale toronto

Yo man! This is one my favorite videos about one of my favorite emcees. Thank you, sir!

Another great video my brother ! keep going

Brilliant video, thanks for putting this together

Something too is that in the chorus of Doomsday “Dumile” can also be “Doom will lay” with Dumile being a hint at his identity for those who know

I always knew the highlights of his transition from KMD to MF DOOM, but it was great to see a detailed breakdown of it and the first album.

This is when I subscrib, and click the bell button! Man his rhyming scheme is INSANE!! MINDBLOWING
