americas cravin some doom ....let em have the show space ghost!

"A graceful exit, i leave your inheritance. Knowing one day you too will be consumed by absolute power of which no man is immune, and he was gone. Through a vault panel in the room and disappeared across the lagoon" Rest in peace, the greatest of all time. DOOM.

Every time a new DOOM track or feature comes out it feels like christmas time.

This is so dope finally RU-vid recommends something good

The first verse build up and then That DOOM entrance...poetically genius and comedy gold.

No more applications for soldiers all positions filled The guards should've informed you of that back at the citadel

God damn, I'm always a sucker for a story.

my girl has not been able to get me up in 3 years and this did it in 5 mins

"I knew this moment would arrive, but not so soon tho" RIP KING

[Narrator] In the soft early hours as the day breaks Shalim now makes his escape He knew the king, though refusing to give it up Was now effectively a little more than a sitting duck He sidles up to the palace build on shattered homes Scattered bones in the catacombs [Shalim] Upon dawn make a subtle escape Taking bloodlust into every step that I make Every breath that I take Make a break for the palace outer walls To avoid the main gates where the archers are Rongon gone or not It's the throne that will fall Drop to the inner courtyard Before I clutch grass with the palm of my hand, stand tall Scope a king's guard at the corridor Which I believe leads to the main hall So I sneak behind He hits the floor And many more have gone along the same route Sword stained red as I take them out Can't wait to put my blade to the face of the tyrant And make him bow down to the jade on my chain of my neck While smiling I've got to find him, where's he hiding [Narrator] Footsteps echo through the halls of the palace through the wall He hears the faint scraping of talons Too many gentle souls fall in the malice One last lunge then light up the chalice Only the sound of footsteps that ring Only one thing that can make the caged bird sing Only one way out, only one leads in And stands face to face with the king [MF DOOM as King Dumile] No more applications for soldiers, all positions filled The guards should've informed you that back at the citadel Guards, escort this lad out, take his surname Guards! Guards! Hey what's your game? State your intent, my patience wears thin Then I noticed a faint resemblance in the face and skin Could this be fate or destiny? I cram to overstand how this could happen for the best of me Wait! Likeness in the eyes is the moon glow Knew this moment would arrive, but not so soon though That perfect combo of caring, fearlessness, with a twisted ruthless Obvious how clear it is [Shalim] Oh! So here it is Spare me your villainous charm The mirror sits calm like a pause in a song Reflects dark images raw Makes the dusk more warm than the howl of the dawn [King Dumile] Sound the alarm! The gong was sonically loud Regardless of how it played out he seemed ironically proud What evidence can make a guess be accurate Recognizable at the craftsmanship on the amulet With the jade piece, a rare yet familiar cut And a custom design link [Shalim] You think I feel the love? I conjure nothing but a sour taste, foul grapes Not what the owl takes Dumile face the blade May fate be the judge Suffocate your days of hate and shedding blood [King Dumile] Hold up, I'll tell you what My reign is over, along with my presence, hence A graceful exit, I'll leave your inheritance Knowing one day you too will be consumed By absolute power of which no man is immune And he was gone, through a false panel in the room Disappeared across the lagoon [Narrator] Scream now echo through the halls of the palace In his head turmoil, struggling for balance If his mother was compassion and his father was malice Rain now falls by the gallon Only the sound of footsteps in the halls Only one responds once destiny calls Only the purest of hearts stand tall Only the wicked shall fall A new king strolls through the halls of the palace Head held high, the embodiment of balance And the world realigns for the true and the callous Through the looking glass like Alice Only the victory charms outside Only one man favoured by the whims of the tide Sometimes goodness and peace presides Sometimes that wine hides cyanide

Doom left me speechless... My reign is over, along with my presence, hence A graceful exit, I'll leave your inheritance Knowing one day you too will be consumed By absolute power of which no man is immune And he was gone, through a false panel in the room Disappeared across the lagoon

Rest In Peace MF DOOM, maybe it was your fate or destiny. Respect.

Woder how many new people gonna have the pleasure of dicovering ASM over DOOM's passing

very likable comic book styling paired/ colours with very smooth looking 3D skewing of objects and characters. always nice to see worthy visuals in harmony with a DOOM feature

He disappeared across the lagoon.. RIP MF DOOM

Damn RU-vid suggestions is getting scary good..

It breaks my heart listening too this genius. Knowing we’ll never be graced with his wordplay is a goddamn shame. RIP DOOM

Rest In Peace, The Illest Villain

This entire album is a literary masterpiece

Wow! This is hip hop right here. Jazz, flows, the video, story telling..That Doom character is insane..great job fellaz

This one of the coolest things I've ever seen, and heard, in my life... o.O

Fuuck, those horns at 1:15

Another DOOM persona?!?!?!? YES

This is one of the best songs/music videos I've seen ever This needs way more attention

DOOM's part is so addictive

Fucking dope. In love with the instrumental, the guitar, the beat, the brass section. Great Vid. DOPE

sound The Alarm!! the Gong was sonically loud regardless of how it played out, he seemed ironically proud

I think this is one of the first time we've seen emotion from DOOM. He's normally so laid back and cool.

This tune is SO good! I found a new current favourite tune, for real. Love the brass and the strings, so moody, really great production. And that outro with the thunder and rain, i'm sat in my room and its actually rainy and stormy outside right now, made the whole listen all that more emersive.

This is so good, the beat reminds me of Nujabes and the rapping has the perfect tone to suit the story telling. This took me by surprise, it's so nice to listen to.

The whole song seems so vivid that the video wasn't even needed... but it's still really sick and I love the art style. Big ups!

Most beautiful song in 10 years. You too will be consumed by absolute power which no man is immune. -DOOM

I love how DOOM starts his verse

HOLY SHIT HOW DID I JUST NOW FIND THIS? fucking amazing. then again, i'm a huge DOOM stan, so there's that, haha. but ASM is dope as well, and this is a fantastic story with an incredible beat.

This is the song that got me in to MFDOOM

If you guys love this song, but aren't listening to the whole album for FREE on RU-vid (just go this artist's page..) - then you are seriously EFFING UP in life. [And he was gone, through a false panel in the room... disappeared across the lagoon...]

I wish I could explain what this song does for me. this is perfect. thank you so much for taking everyrhing I take seriously and bringing it into one. you guys win! like so many arts brought together

when that horn hit me at the end......mind blown

GUARDS,.. ESCORT THIS LAD OUT AND TAKE HIS SIR NAME... As usual the DOOM lace the track once'st again!

Let's hear it for the King of Kings. The rappers favorite rapper. Fingers of metal and face of steel. DOOM forever a King foreal.

Man you guys have been sleeping on this type of graphic novel rap style, ive been waiting for years for this to continue...

This is probably the closest we'll get to an MF DOOM rap battle

KING DUMILE continues to be one of the GREATEST FEATURES OF ALL TIME!! NO MORE APPLICATIONS FOR SOLDIERS ALL POSITIONS FILLED THE GUARDS SHOULD HAVE IMFORMED YOU OF THAT BACK AT THE CITADEL!!!

I feel like this is the end to a very long series that I HAVE TO SEE!!!

This is ridiculously good, real positive hip hop, i wish there were more groups like this

MF DOOM retaining his image in this story of the villain is so awesome

This is right up my alley.

a combo I did not expect but it was fucking dope. 2 of the favorites. loving it man.

Beautiful song, beautiful video. Wish I could find this gem sooner. RIP DOOM.

I'm 3 years late but I'm happy I made it to hear this.

omg I cringed at doom on the throne it was so fucking good

And people say modern rap sucks. Ha ha! This is goddamn great. Sexy DOOM, sexy beat, all very good. Sub'd.

best DOOM verse in ages!

came across today, absolutely magnificent track and exquisite video

What a story, you're fucking dope ASM.

Hearing This song through ears is like making love to the finest woman on the planet on an exotic island in a state of bliss.

flawless....

"Knowing one day you to will be consumed by absolute power of which no man is immune." God damn......

Best Rap/HipHop Music Video of the year in my book.

another legend gone. 2021 rly seeming shitty alr.

that fucking vinyl crackle

This is some of the best hiphop I've heard in yeaaars!

Dude never have i heard story telling of this caliber in such a unique format. Who else could tell a story like this in perfect rhythmic delivery?

RIP MF DOOM

Well done. Truly innovative. You took advantage of all the tools you were given and ade a masterpiece. I hope this project did well because it deserved to.

Big ups to Doom! this video was published on my birthday WOW !!! nice story, the animation suites it. well written big up to the beat maker

Oh dude "the guards of the Sofa King"

"Sound the alarm, the gong was sonically loud, regardless of how it played out he seemed ironically proud." So poetic... It's a damn shame DOOM has left us.

True art.. wow How did it take me this long to hear this song? RIP MF DOOM easily the greatest rapper of the new millenium SONS OF DE CYPHER

RIP DOOM, greatest to grace the mic and hold the pen.

And so the new King brings balance.

He cursed him. By escaping, his tyranny survived through his son.

i feel like RZA would fit perfectly with this. if u ever listened to the *Afro Samurai* OTS you'll know what i mean

Scattered bones in the catacombs...

no more applications for soldiers, all positions filled the guards should've informed you that back at the citadel guards, escort this lad out, take his surname guards! guards!!! Hey what's your game?

My GOD JUST THE BEAT RIP DOOM BROUGHT A TEAR TO MY EYES.

What a track!

RIP, a king gone too soon

best song in 2015 so far for me

This go hard fr the whole song not much artist verses sound interesting next to DOOM dude did his thing on the intro

Yo somebody needs to make an AMV of this were it's just a montage of The Blue Spirit from Avatar The Last Airbender.

The artwork and the storyline hiphop in this are absolutely epic. Great work fellas.

Even DOOM can give you commands, still speaks so lyrically.
