Villainous Rings & Pendants of DOOM Available here: anabsurdshop.bigcartel.com

Born like this deserved better. Absolutely is one of my all time favorite DOOM songs

Doom has some of the best album covers in my opinion

Vaudeville villain is an S tier album for me. There’s no weak points in the album, the production is different than any other DOOM album and the whole theme of the album is super creative. Not to mention how insane the bars are all over this record.

SOBERDOOM Should be in S Tier

Born like this is absolutely at least A tier, the fact that it’s so underrated at this point confuses the hell out of me it’s got so many incredible songs and it is just as tight and consistent as the 2 best doom projects for, it’s top 3 and S tier personally

Where is SOBERDOOM

Operation: Doomsday will always be my favorite from top to bottom and has the most sentimental of DOOM tracks to me. It captured a special aura of the NYC scene at the time as well. DOOM turned all heads when that record jumped on the scene.

A few years ago, my friend John & I were just hanging , shmoking the jazz-cabbage & he put on “Take me to your Leader” by King Gheedorah …and I’ve never been the same since. Thank you John.

Vaudeville Villan, Madvillany, and Mm Food gotta be some of my favorite albums of all time

Venomous Villain is the most underrated DOOM album imo

1 mm food 2 vaudeville villain 3 born like this 4 operation doomsday 5 madvillainy 6 take me to your leader 7 the mouse and the mask 9 key to the kuffs ( i know i have it low but i actually really like this album) And thats all the ones ive listened too

Take Me To Your Leader is my favorite album of all time.

DOOM has the most consistently amazing opening tracks for his projects. Fazers, Accordion, Beef Rap, Doomsday etc

I have a soft spot for mouse in the mask as it was my introduction to DOOM as a kid and has since spiral into my fascination with the character. I have listen to this album from start to finish so many times and will forever be my favorite album of all time.

SOBERDOOM?

Skipping over SOBERDOOM I see?

S Tier - Madvillainy, BORN LIKE THIS, MM…FOOD, Take Me To Your Leader A Tier - Vaudeville Villain, Operation: Doomsday, The Mouse & The Mask B Tier - Keys to the Kuffs, Czarface Meets Metalface C Tier - NehruvianDOOM, Super What? D Tier - Venomous Villain

glad to see born like this getting some recognition, people talked so much shit about it that i missed out on checking it out for a while

Another fantastic Absurd video. I can tell how hard you worked on this and the came out wonderfully .

16:50 DUDE THERE'S WEATHER GLOW!!!! "Let's go WeatherGlow!!"

10:53 That intro for Mouse and the Mask where they mention Adult Swim is also removed on physical versions too. I've got an original 2005 CD and the 2017 Deluxe Edition CD and they both begin the album with "Why did you buy this album? I don't know why you did, you're stupid!". Only time I've ever heard the version with the Adult Swim mention was from uploads on RU-vid.

Born Like This over everything if you just want to hear DOOM raps at their absolute finest, That's That, Mayo, Ballskin etc are crazy

the combination betweenn DOOM and yugioh images is immaculate also a doom & earl/ joey album would have been so great

SOBERDOOM came out in 2020. How come it's not on the list

you nearly made me cry with the idea of DOOM and Earl, Joey, or Gambino working together that would have been amazing

Super What? definitely deserved at least B class, but overall a very factual tierlist 😄

The most safe, normal MF DOOM tier list ever

Born like this, as a massive DOOM fan, I will admit I didn't warm to as a teenager, but getting older it seems to age like fine wine. I agree with most of the others though. Thanks for giving me some DOOM content. It's hard to find. Much love. An Englishman in Cambodia.

As much as I undertsand the love for Madvillainy, I always end up coming up MM Food and BORN LIKE THIS more. Doom's rapping on both those albums is mind boggling good.

didn't do born like this justice, it is easily top tear DOOM.

Take me to your leader is underrated in the new DOOM community imo I wonder is one of my favorite DOOM songs such a beautiful song

Thank you for the shoutout! 🙏🖤 I've always said VV2 was criminally slept on. Excellent research/video and keep up the good work! CK

I appreciate that piano rendition of the smiths-there is a light that never runs out that was great

Take me to your leader is definitely an essential album imo. Top 3 DOOM for me. Along with Madvillainy and Vaudville Villain.

Inspectah deck has been rapping about comic books back in wu tang. czar definitely did not steal Mf Dooms style. I feel like MF is very Wu Tang inspired being one of the first rappers using obscure pop culture references and skits cut from different movies/shows

comment to help algorithm your content deserves more recognition also love the use of soundsmith's thumbnail in the misc section

Fantastic and very helpful video dude.

Every song on ‘Super What?’ makes me levitate

Out of interest, who are your top 5 Emcee's? You seem to have impeccable taste over the years I have followed you. Big up for uploading this to RU-vid also.

i’m absolutely loving the tyler instrumentals in the background

Music from Bully always slaps, even works for background music.

The KMD albums need more praise bro, yeah its not Dumile as most people who listen to DOOM know him but both of their albums are a great listen and I think they shouldnt be taken for granted

Your editing is amazing, man. This is such a great video.

I'm really glad you pointed out the brilliance of his lyricism of the end of the verse you showed in the Tity Fat song but how could you not mention that the first part of that verse was actually THE BEST PART of the song maybe even whole album, his flow was unworldly, creative rhymes and unparalleled cadence, im literally can't explain it in words how good that verse sounded!

Even though I haven't gone through is whole discography, MM..FOOD is just leagues above madvillany for me. The tracks just complement eachother so well as it set out like a 5 star 5 course meal not to mention how well each individual song holds up. While one beer and rap snitch knishes are top tier, my favs on the album are poo putt platter, guinesses, and Deep Fried Frenz like you said. The repeating chorus of a war torn battlefield being a metaphor for love is just too real for me.

The JJDOOM Guvnor remix by “badbadnotgood” was dark and gritty af That track slaps. Great vid bro

i understand your ranking of 'Super What' although Mando Calrissian is a personal favorite of mine off the album

The background music choice in these videos is insane

Great video and great tier list! My only nitpick is that MM…Food was released in 2004, not 2005.

I think I speak for most of us DOOM fans, that the first contact you ahve with his music, has great influence in our own ranking. For example, I would rank Vaudeville Villain way higher, since it was one of my first listens. Madvillain above Mm... Food, but then again I totally agree with you, it is interchangeable.

you can tell bro likes bioshock, nice just got into doom this video is perfect for me

Have you listened to Greydon Square? You'd love his albums too. Very lore heavy and well made.

You know… I think I actually agree with your rankings. You’ve brought a lot of interesting and informative ideas. For me tho, sofa king off dangerdoom was my first ever DOOM song so it’s extremely nostalgic and I would rate that album higher, but purely off nostalgia. I think born like this too may deserve higher, for me the consistency and overall “vibe” to the album is one of his strongest, but I stand politically different to batty boys so I have to skip every time, which I never do on DOOM tracks. R.I.P villain, gonna go listen to him now 🎧

Thanks for linking tier list

18:01 love this edit

I would move the first Viktor Vaughn record up to S, and born like this up to A, but otherwise I agree with this list. I agree with your thoughts about the Czarface Collab records, they're fun listens and would rank high on a Czarface tier list in my opinion. But they don't really stand very strongly on a DOOM list

NehruvianDOOM was not only produced by DOOM, but the end track, Great Things was produced by Madlib ❤

This is a really good video

You should definitely make a video about lesser known quasimoto things

Bukowski's poem is called "Dinosauria, we" :)

S: Food, MV, Vaughn A: Doomsday, Black Bastards, Leader B: Born Like this, Mouse & Mask C: Keys, Czarface albums Imo Great vid btw

I love the mouse and the mask and I have to say, I totally agree with your critique

😆 i like that manscaped kinda sponsored the videos cause of your pummyyussy Love it cause it’s so unexpected and so obviously right at the same time.

I hear what you're saying about the long skits on DangerDoom but I'm still making it top tier based on originality when considering what other Rap artists were doing at the time. RIP MF DOOM.

Top 3 for me is Mm Food, Take Me to Your Leader and Vaudeville Villain. But really there are no bad picks.

You did ask, so my personal ranking is: S Tier - ..MM FOOD Madvillany Take Me to Your Leader - A Tier - Operation Doomsday Mouse and the Mask Vaudville Villain - B Tier - Venomous Villain Born Like This - C Tier - Czarface Meets Metal Face Neruvian DOOM Key to the Kuffs Super What?

A great video about DOOM's discography. Personally I'd swap Take Me To Your Leader and Born Like This, but that's just me

Thanks for the DOOM content

I actually got around to Vaudeville Villain and dawg if that's fine wine, I might be an alcoholic. Some of those beats straight up sound like a PS1/N64 horror game everyone slept on; like if Jersey Devil had a secret level with the most whiplashed tone shift.

Well done. Thanks

I havent listned to all of the mans discog yet but my rankings of what I have would be 1. Mm...Food. greatest album of all time and what I recommend and rant about to anyone I talk music with. 2/3. tie between madvillany and the mouse and the mask. i enjoy both a lot and love them both for different reasons, if I had to choose one rn it would probably be mouse & the mask because I have been on a kick with it recently and love it to bits. 4. vaudeville villain. adore the sound of this album and need to give it another listen soon, tracks like saliva and lactose and lecithin are highlights IMO and full of great bars. and now albums I haven't listen to all the way through/enough times to rank fully 5. born like this. listened front to back only once and need to again, during my one listen I was driving so don't remember specific highlights but I did enjoy the album. 6. take me to your leader. i adore some tracks off this record, like I wonder, fazers, and anti-matter but I haven't listened to it as an album in almost a year so I definitely need to revisit. 7. operation doomsday. i have never listen all the way through (need to I know) so I cant really rank it effectively. while I enjoy the jazzy sound its not my favorite and I prefer other DOOM projects overall. overall I adore DOOMs work and everytime I listen to it it gives me this special feeling and is truly a special experience. i love putting my friends on and seeing them enjoy the stuff I do and having them reference DOOM and make jokes about songs with me in our day to day interactions gives me unreasonable joy. i want to thank my childhood friend Evan for putting me on to DOOM just over a year ago with rhymes like dimes (which i actually didn't like at the time, had limited taste back then) and then later benzi box and sofa king which is what sent me down the path that lead to my love of DOOM i have now. i also just wanna say, AbsurdE your videos are so well made and always are filled with such a passion for the super villains work and they are truly a pleasure to watch. i learn new things about the villian everytime i watch a video of yours and you have definitely strengthened my love for DOOM over the many months it has been since i found your channel. i hope you blow up and more people can see your great content and get put onto the greatest to ever grasp the mic, MF DOOM. thanks for reading all of this anyone who has, have a great day and go listen to some DOOM.

Great video

Frist time I listen to MF DOOM it was all outta of ale I was with a friend and he was playing it in his car, still love that song

enjoyed the vigos jar of salty lips insert when luck was brought up lmao

You can't go a day without listening to deep fried frenz, kon queso and potholderz at least 5 times in a row

Key to the kuffs and born like this are so underrated

03:30 love this card, it`s so strong (for those who wonder it`s a yu gi oh card)

For me it's hard to rank these projects cause they're all at least decent, but I guess if I had to tier list em: S: Madvillainy, Vaudeville Villain, MM... FOOD and Mouse and the Mask A: Take Me Tour Leader, Operation Doomsday, Born Like This, Super What? B: Czarface Meets Metal Face, Key to the Kuffs C: NehruvianDOOM, VV2: Venomous Villain

You should make a tier list on the difficulty of DOOM's songs from easy to hard. Ran into a channel of someone reviewing "that's that" as his first ever song he listened to from MF DOOM, and he was turned off, saying "he's just rhyming words just to rhyme" instead of actually paying attention 😂🤣. If not a list of songs, maybe an album tier list of what songs should be a listener's first vs what would be high level listening

Not beefing but Vaudeville Villain is def S tier purely on lyrical content, crazy dense stanzas and actual poetry. My personal favourite ❤️ also on a side note one of my favourite verses is on the Molemen produced YeeHaw but this was also the first single I bought of DOOM’s so it may be nostalgia 🤷‍♂️

love that kira's theme

Would be awesome to see all the projects placed into the N/A Tier ranked!

You scared me with the sudden change of music to eateot

13:05 aYO, kinda cute though

in my mind i can excuse the homophobic lyrics on batty boyz because it not only makes sense in DOOMs narrative, but its a lot like the villain sending out DOOMBOTS to his shows for him, its exactly what a real villain would do. a supervillain wouldnt pull any punches whenit comes to people trying to stop them (assuming that the track is a reference to dc superheroes) it definitely isnt a song id rap along to, but its also one of my favorite songs off of born like this because of how it fits into the DOOM plot narrative

Czarface meets metal face’s theme is terror, just look at the cover and the instrumentals, it feels as if the world is in peril

Born like this criminally underrated.

I'm out rn, but damn, I can't wait to see this one.

not only is operation doomsday his greatest work, doomsday is his best song 💯💯

The fact that MF DOOM have composed, produced and rapped about an album just about food and another strange extraordinary rap album with 22 songs just full 1 minute already prove he is the GREATEST HIP HOP ARTIST OF ALL TIME NOT HAVE ANY ARGUMENTS 👍

The Mouse and The Mask is by far my favorite album

6:50 I can't think of the guys name but his instrumental album is amazing. Dr. Something...

I'm firm and ready to argue this point: DangerDOOM is MF DOOM's best album, then Doomsday.

Born like this and Keys to the kuffs should be both higher. The rest checks out alright.

Doomsday and madviliany better be S tier

10:20 ALL THIS TIME I LISTENED TO THAT SONG AND BEEN A DOOM FAN AND I DIDN'T NOTICE THIS WTF!!😮😮😮😮😮😮

holy smokes they way I just thought of how crazy a JOEY AND DOOM TRACK WOULD BE

15:50 Love the L.A. Noire music. Amazing game with a beautiful soundtrack. Totally unrelated to the video though! Long live MF DOOM!

The Fine Print on the King Geedorah album was a heavy rotation track. My opinion, however some will agree.
