No matter the circumstances; DOOM and subroc were inseparable…One could only hope that their presences reunited in the after life.. I can already see DILLA in the mix of it all too. RHYME IN POWER DOOM
Onyx is still alive but he moved away into obscurity, you can find videos of him performing a speech for BLM, a eulogy, etc. He also attended the opening of the street ‘KMD - MF DOOM Way’. His name is Alonzo Hodge
@@ifthesewallscouldtalktheyp7692 like him enough to make him your profile pic but not enough to know they hadn’t yet announced his death this time two years ago
2nd verse is Onyx the Birthstone Kid who left the group during the making of the 2nd album; so they later removed his verse (seen here) and cut plumskinzz into 2 joints on the 2nd album when it eventually finally got released
In that same alternate universe, no rap snakes to be found, Monsanto's stranglehold on crops fails, natural beauty and nourishment is rampant, everyone OMs and open third eyes abound. Zev was too good for us. The villian deserves to be on the right side, with his son and brother. They prolly cutting one with Dilla Dawg right now.
@@Belowone The music would probably still be great, Subroc was an amazing producer, probably would have been better than DOOM if he matured. He was a good rapper too. Also, they were clearly moving towards DOOM-style music by 1993, Black Bastards sounds like an early DOOM album, Zev even talks about being a "maniacal villain" and wearing a mask on the album.
Holy fuck I haven’t listened to this in forever!!! I’m dying inside and I’m so fucking sad but so happy everyone’s listening to this at the end of 2020 fucking RIP to THE ONE AND ONLY
Verse 1: Zev Love X] Sho' nuff as the 7-11 wins I's in for Plumskinnz from begin (Like when?) A rooster a-booster, vickin' all the hens (With a grin) Thick chicks, and even sticks got friends (Least ten) Up high, the up high I'm covered With the innocent fuzz from the peaches says the streets (Head to toe) Down low, on the down low I know the right juice from the darkest fruits got roots (A superhoe) Mind wanderin', mind playin' tricks I want the Nestle Quik picks my best of games to kicks Tongue tied up, tongue tied up, confidin' Thinkin' if I could I'll stoop to trickin' much nooks Beware the grocer when ya press 'em with your thumbs, though (Oh?) See, no grocer wants bruised plums, yo (so?) Once bruised one time, 'tis forgotten And once the plums is rotten, the skinzz'll cut your gums At the corner store, a sign reads: "For Sale: Plumskinzz Fruit Cocktail" Only ones runnin' to the corner is pale males Open all night, the corner plumskinzz is stale Back to the honeyplum that's swift with gift And if the plum is pit, I guess I'll just plead fifth I'll say, "Sweet young, can your tongue have some? You got some peach(fuzz)" ("Yeah, you know me!") Well, I'm down with O.P.Plumskinzz Don't drool with all the juice you dribble Scribble the beeper code, so the X can gets a nibble Trust, just in case ya asked why Behind my button-fly is a fruit fly huntin' for those plumskinzz Chorus: KMD] I said a hip, hop, shooby doo wop (When I'm checkin for the plums) ya don't stop I said a hip, hop, shooby doo wop (When I'm lickin on the plums) ya don't stop I said a hip, hop, shooby doo wop (When I'm eatin on the plum) ya don't stop I said a hip, hop, shooby doo wop (Like suckin on a plum) ya don't stop [Verse 2: Onyx] Since last we spoke, I cried about Teddy Ruxpin And me myself, in a dream, pimpin' in a tux and, uhh Now that the toys in my bed hit the edges Skinzz'll be smoked like, Benson and Hedges Legs over ledges, I'm over heels Over heels, five-nine is the result of how I builds But then hard times come, oh and how It makes me feel as if I needs, a Lowenbrau No, I ain't gon' never seek refuge in booze I find the Gods and crews, seekin' plumskinzz to bruiseeeee up Somethin' lovely kickin' game, no shame GREAT shape got me GREAT date but untamed You never knows, where goes my hand next Surprise! I'm in your plumskinzz Spandex Lust for lust-ful got me lustin' Honies ask for it, but then they start bustin' Want ya, need ya, but don't wanna seed ya Baby, listen close, and follow this procedure You feel my peachfuzz while I rub your plumskin Hun, before you go, you know we gotta get somethin' staaaarted Pump-kin pie, I promise to lick ya till your well runs dry By the fruit you bare, I guess you got spoon In my room, I search some this Fruit of my Loom I never touch young bright them plums till they reach age (Meanwhile, plum-sauce baby food is Subroc stage)
Verse 3: Subroc] Don't think I ain't good when I'm gooder Don't think I won't when I woulda I save plums in lump sums because I may want it soon Damn, I wouldn't want my plum to turn prune Unless it be all that, be all that It won't matter, just black sweet ones come fatter I'm kinda, kinda picky with my fruit mix But always fix fat drums in the batter They say you must, must share a little plum I say, "With that idea, kid, you're dumb" I play the role, play the role, kinda shy And keep the concept to unbutton the fly The question, my oh my, any left for thy shore? I pick fresh fruit, plus vick 'em galore Raw as can be, I can be much more Adore my sweet gift shot like Quickdraw McGraw It's plenty much, plenty much to go around I weigh 'em by the hand, take 'em by the pound Maybe I slap big, bot-tom 'round But if not, sit tight, I just might hound you down Things that make you go "Mmmmm" Taste a sugarplum, use your mouth, go "Mmmmm" If you ain't already been, yo, catch me with a finnicky grin And you should know, like Flynn I'm in For those plumskinzz
THIS SHIT JUST BLEW MY MIND SON I HAVE BEEN LISTENING TO BLACK BASTARDS SINCE I WAS LIKE SIXTEEN SHIT NEVER HEARD THE FULL VERSION OH MY GOd IM TALKING LIKE DWIGHT HOWARD DOING AN IMPRESSION OF STAN VAN GUNDY SON WORD LIFE THIS SHIT SIS SO ILL ONE OF THE BBEST HIP HOP TRACKS OF ALL TIME AT LEAST IN THE DISCUSSION MAN IM TALKING ABOUT THAT BEAT REPRESENT TO THE FULLEST PEACE
What happened to Onyx the Birthstone Kid? The only living member of KMD. His verse here on Plumskinz was tight and he was dope on Mr Hood too. Respect to Onyx The Birthstone Kid.
This got me through high school..hits hard knowing that DOOM passed expectantly after his bro did back in the day..both legends and their music will never die 🙏🏽
in case anybody was wondering, they sampled "Blacks and Blues" by Bobbi Humphrey....this album was one of the great lost gems of the 90s....i had to pay an arm to get a copy
for all the confused folks - this is the 12" version that came out when onyx (verse 2) was still in the group. by the time they made Black Bastards he wasn't in the group anymore, and they opted to split this track into 2 skits ("Loose Hoe God & Cupid" and "Oh No I Don't Believe It), each with a verse from Zev and Sub respectively. to the poster - where is that article from in the video pic?
I think that was Vibe’s review for Black Bastards. They pretty much trash it, more or less missing the point that Zev and Sub were trying to make. Lots of “This isn’t Mr Hood! They’re trying to be hard!” kinda complaints from what I remember.
RIP Daniel Dumile aka MF DOOM aka ZEV LOVE X (1/09/1971 to 10/31/2020) @/therealhiphop @/restinpower #KMD #ThankYou RIP Dingilizwe Dumile aka DJ SUBROC (8/03/1973 to 4/23/1993)
Wow I think I speak for a lot of people when I say I've been looking for and wanting to hear the complete version of this joint for a long long time. Shame very few even know this album existed... But major props, thanks a lot! Even though it's incredibly rare doesn't mean it can't be shared.
“Plumskinzz (Oh No I Don’t Believe It!)” Ross: When I heard that, I knew those guys were onto something. Although I thought the first version that was on the album was better.
Absolute materpiece in my opinion. I love how MF.Doom inherit the smooth rhythm in his Jazzy beats. I really want contemporary rappers and beatmakers to make more Jazz rap! It's very cool and I love it.
