"I'd like to take "Mens to the End" for two milli' "Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo!" That's a audio daily double Rappers need to fall off just to save me the trouble." DOOM was referencing the gameshow Jeopardy! with that scheme. "Mens to the end" for two milli is him selecting the catagory he wants to play. The "dodododo" part is him mimicing the sound that would play when a contestant hit a daily double.
MF DOOM was truly one of a kind. He used to have fans dress up as him and perform at shows and he’d be standing in the crowd enjoying the show while nobody knew
DOOM catalog deep. It’s hard to pick just one song. “Great Day”, “All Caps”, “One Beer”, “ Fazers”(as King Geedorah), “Gazillion Ear”, “Fancy Clown” (as Viktor Vaughn), “ Peach Fuzz” (as Zev Love X) there is so many… DOOM had several personas/aliases as well…If you choose to dive in, have fun, he never disappoints ! :)
Nice list! my faves that i'd add= BLACKLIST!! Potholderz (holdin hot shiz), GMO!!, Guv'nor, Bomb Thrown, America's Most Blunted,That's That, & Books of War, for now LOL
Also he said “cell number 17, under the top bunk.” Hes saying he left a message if anyone finds themselves there. Apparently right before this album he was homeless and ended up in jail. Due to his untimely passing of his brother who got hit trying to cross the long island expressway
You asked if “Doom” is a superhero’s name, and you’re close. Doctor Doom is a Marvel villain, one that fought the Fantastic Four. He’s the inspiration for DOOM’s mask and villain persona. Those animated clips are from one of his music videos, for the song “ALL CAPS”.
Other than Elvis' Blue Christmas, Dooms Xmas album is the only thing you hear in my house over the holidays. Glad I got to be here for your baptism. Great reaction.
Ironic that this is your first introduction to DOOM because the track is about when he passes away to join his brother (Doomsday). Rest in power, Dumile.
DOOMS brother (seen in the video) was tragically hit by a car while crossing the road which lead DOOM into hiding and turning into the super villain (other stuff caused it too but thats the main reason)
NIIIICE reaction. I SUBBED! Songs of Doom's i still have on loop up to 20yrs later= BLACKLIST!!!!, Potholderz (holdin hot shiz), GMO!!, Guv'nor, Bomb Thrown, America's Most Blunted, That's That, & Books of War. bLACKLIST is a collab w/ Ian Bavitz, who is arguably the most AMAZING ARTIST IN ANY MEDIUM EVER sooOOO... here's a TEASER lyric from it, "I found peace, It tapped me on the shoulder Asking where’s the case's war and how to make it sleep. I pointed toward the exact place my sneakers met the cretin, said, "If I could answer question two, I wouldn't need relief" & & & GMO TEASER, "Can't trust the tap water much less the kettle. Double entendre to the phrase test your mettle...force-feedin' them toddler food laced with excitotoxins & they did it like the funky worm. Enough to make a junkie squirm, mice making monkey sperm"
OOOHH DANG & i forgot "Strange Ways" WTF lyric TEASER "They pray four times a day, they pray five. Who ways is strange when it's time to survive Some will go of they own free will to die, Others take them with you when they blow sky high. What's the difference? All you get is lost children While the bosses sit up behind the desks It cost billions to blast humans in half, into calves and arms Only one side is allowed to have bombs" GENIUS
