RIP MF DOOM

[tuckgod]

One thing that's been left out of the narrative of Zev turning into Doom (for understandable reasons) is the fact that he was heavy in the Ansar community in his formative years.

He came in the game reppin the Ansars like a few early 90s rappers, and the government started fukkin with Dr. York around the same time KMD got dropped from their label, and then Sub Roc passed.

(I don't know if the allegations are true or not, but to this day, Dr. York is one of the sharpest brothers I've ever heard speak.)






So you got this young man that already isn't a citizen in the land he calls home, the community that embraced him and that he got most of his beliefs from was now under attack from the US Government (the leader was being called a pedophile), he loses his career, and his brother/best friend passes away tragically, all at the same time.

That's enough to break any man and he turned all of that pain into entertainment for us.

Juan Ep is Dead did a good job getting a bunch of people who had different relationships and were with Doom in different periods of his life. Some good stories

Get some Fresh Air like a Stray on a Straightaway:

this guy DOOM has some of the illest one-liners ever.... especially if you know supreme math and alphabets

Please tell me y’all figured out who Mr. Fantastik is

Fantastik was nice, but only did like 4 songs then vanished

I was just listening to Juan Ep is Dead and Kurious George made me feel like a complete idiot.

He said nikkas always called him Doom even when he was Zev Love X, cause his last name is Dumile (doom-a-lay).

i laughed at them not realizing the correlation, he says it on a bunch of songs on Doomsday

I've always wanted to know who he was.

In my mind, he was a Jay-Z type nikka.

A nikka that was dead nice but was getting too much OT money to rap for real.

He just happened to be Doom's man.

I only know him for rapping on Anti-Matter and Rap Snitches.

Yo...

I know this vid has been posted before, but watching this young boy achieve Nirvana while listening to Curls for the 1st time validates me spending the vast majority of my life trying to find records that give me this exact same feeling.

Dropping an exclusive from my collection this for my Coli fam

Here's a posse cut with Diamond, Sadat X, DOOM, Nore, and mad other rappers. DOOM spits a raw version of a verse from Dead Bent, and Nore spits a verse I haven't heard before. The official version that was released doesn't include DOOM or Nore's verses.

Diamond talks a bit about the original here.



I put together all the verses from both versions on the 12", I copped it from a seller overseas.

It was Rhinestone Cowboy for me.

It was crazy because I had already been blown away several times by other songs on the album and I didn’t think it could possibly get any better.

Then the beat dropped and my man said:

“Hold a cold one like he hold a old gun
Like he hold the microphone
and stole the show for fun
Or a foe for ransom
Flows is handsome”

It was a long time ago but I’m 99% sure I let out a little squeal like a bytch”


By the time the song finished I just sat there like what the fukk did I just listen to.
