DOOM FANS ARE THE WORST
I stayed away from this thread waiting on the title to change to “elaborate death hoax”...sadly, it’s clear that’s not the case, another large part of why I didn’t want to come in here and pay my respects is because I knew it would be filled with some of the worst people out there..DOOM fans.
Don’t get it fukked up, I fukked with DOOM heavy, from the KMD beginnings to the CMOB rumblings that never fully actualized to his return as MF DOOM and so forth, but one thing I’ve always noticed is that as the years went on DOOMs core fan base mutated from underground hip hop heads to something else, something outside of the culture. It became more about the aesthetics of it all and for lack of a better term, the novelty of it all. To be honest a large portion of DOOMs “fans”...I’m not sure if they even really like rap music. They like the lore, the characters, the visuals associated with the “DOOM UNIVERSE” and don’t get it twisted, that’s all part of what makes his genius so great, but at the end of the day if you’re not here for the dope beats and the ill rhyme schemes then what the fukk are you here for??? Go read a comic book you fukking nerds.
DOOM FANS ARE THE WORST
There was a question posed earlier in the thread during a fit of entitlement relating to the death of you’re favourite rappers favourite rapper, and the answer is yes, yes that’s exactly what you should do “Just shut the fukk up and buy the merch”. The face mask trinkets, the bobble heads..action figures, whatever. It speaks volumes about a specific segment of his fan base that when I went to his site yesterday everything was sold out, all the clothing, the art, the toys etc. Only one section had anything left for sale in it, can you guess what items were left?? The music, CDs and Vinyl. Imagine passing up on a limited
press album with bonus tracks not available elsewhere for a King Geedorah Funko Pop.
DOOM FANS ARE THE WORST
If there’s one thing I’m truly thankful for in all of this it’s that it took 2 months for his death to be made public. At least his wife and children were granted a short reprieve from the callous displays of entitlement, invasiveness and crossed boundaries. I’m sure Complex, DX Hip Hop, VLODtv and a host of other parasites had interns on New Years Eve trying to track down his wife to get info on her dead husband. fukking disgraceful. Disgusted but not surprised by the behaviour of some of you in this thread, you’re not entitled to anything, not an explanation on why they waited, or the cause of death or any of it. And the comments saying how you “deserve better” shows how out of touch with reality and entitled you are.
Condolences and prayers up for his family and loved ones, and all the real DOOM heads who recognize that before anything else he was a son, a husband, a father and a man first.
Rest In Peace DANIEL DUMILE aka MF DOOM
