After the opening skit, titled “The Time We Faced Doom (skit),” is the track “Doomsday,” one of his most popular songs to date, with over 110 million streams on Spotify as of Oct. As is the case in many of DOOM’s albums, there are a handful of skits sprinkled throughout the album, which helps strengthen the album’s plot. 19, 1999, MF DOOM released his first solo studio album “Operation: Doomsday,” a carefully crafted album featuring incredible flow and some of his strongest lyrics. Some of the most well known include King Geedorah (my personal favorite), Viktor Vaughn, Metal Fingers, Madvillain (consisting of MF DOOM and Madlib), Danger Doom (consisting of MF DOOM and Danger Mouse), DOOMSTARKS (consisting of MF DOOM and Ghostface Killah), JJ Doom (consisting of MF DOOM and Jneiro Jarel), and NehruvianDoom (consisting of MF DOOM and Bishop Nehru). As podcast producer Tamika Adams wrote, “The commercialization of hip hop undercuts the original purpose and message of hip hop through normalizing and naturalizing predictability, stereotypes, hypermasculinity, over-sexualization of women, and promoting meaningless music, all for profitable gain.”Īn aspect of his art that made DOOM stand out was his usage of various personas/alter egos. DOOM greatly disapproved of commercialized rap, which rapidly took over the music scene once the 21st century arrived. MF DOOM, or Daniel Dumile, shaped the ’90s underground rap and hip-hop scene in the U.S. Being my favorite artist of all time, I decided to get a tattoo of his mask at the end of 2021, and each time I look at it I’m reminded of DOOM’s lyrical greatness and the significant impact he has had on my life. Many hail DOOM as “your favorite rapper’s favorite rapper,” and while I understand that sentiment completely, I am a firm believer that DOOM is the one who should be your favorite rapper. MF DOOM – where do I even begin? Since my early high school years, I’ve listened to DOOM on repeat, diving deeper and deeper into his discography.
