1. Danger Doom is always slept on. i'm not really sure why. Is it his best? No. But it's damn good. The production is great.

2. He did not release a (studio) album after Danger Doom, so I'm not sure what subpar album yr talking about. [since DD, there's been Special Herbs 9&0 (instrumentals), Special Herbs 3CD set (instrumentals), John Robinson Project (production only) and Madvillainy 2 (just Madlib remixes of OG Madvillain album)]

I was on itunes, and about to buy it, but I wanted to see what you thought first.

I hope to OMG.

I OMGed and ooh shitted.

rap ambush makes me want to cry.

someday, I want DOOM's brain in a jar.


DOOM's music is almost as good as his vocals. Yessir! (feat. Raekwon) might be one of my favorite tracks and DOOM's vocals don't even play much of a part at all.
(it doesn't hurt that the track starts with the sound of LA cop cars circa two-thousand one nine).

new DOOM interview, talks about forthcoming albums and what not.

http://www.xxlmag.com/online/?p=42511

I'm assuming half of that is just DOOM being DOOM and making shit up (a science book?), but I have to say that "But later on this year, niggas’ll hear the Doom/Ghost shit. It’s raw as hell by the way. It’s about to be bonkers. You can’t even imagine" has me really psyched, if it doesn't turn out to be more bull.

exactly what i thought when i read that

I dnt believe any of his albums are coming out until I see a label press release anymore. I've read way too many interviews of the years that gave me false hope.

co-sign. yr dead on w/ that one buddy.

new DOOM interview, supposedly it's REALLY REALLY interesting and he talks about alot of new stuff coming out and even teh old KMD days. i can't read it though cause i don't have word on my computer. here's the link

Hip-Hop Connection

anybody wanna paste it to somethign else so i can read it? pretty please :)

you don't need word. it's adobe .pdf. http://www.adobe.com/

I'd cut/paste, but it formats weird.

I'll leave you with this:


he's not lying either. you should see the dude.

It's out already. I've held it in the store and battled with myself over whether I can justify dropping £14 on the vinyl of an album I bought on CD like 3 months ago. Fiscal responsibility ended up winning out, but quite possibly not for very long...

Thanks, man.

Yr dead on. A DOOM track doesn't need DOOM's vox to be amazing. See SPECIAL HERBS 9 + 0 for further proof.

Don't get me wrong, I generally I love the guest tracks on Doom albums. He's possibly my favourite producer. Say, "Tick, Tick..." from Operation Doomsday, is stunning, and there's no Doom vocal on that. I just thought that "Supervillainz" specifically was a bit overstuffed. The rest of the guest tracks (RAEKWON! GHOSTFACE!) are amazing.

Gawd, I LOVE "Supervillainz"! I don't think Slug has sounded so on point since SE7EN'S TRAVELS.

And "Still Dope" is great too. The Rae track is definitely a standout though.

u gotta check out curse ov dialect or def wish cast

I don't know these words.

curse ov dialect

So, it's MF Grimm's vocals on "Tick, Tick..."? I was never 100% sure about this. It really doesn't sound like DOOM or Grimm to me...

yeah, Grimm does "Tick Tick".

Fixed :)

haha.

Grimm kills it on:

"chop that ass in half like Obi Wan Kenobi" is my favorite line.

 

OMG where did you get that???? Goes well with the King Geedorah ones!

Looks like DOOM is "supposedly" coming to Europe after all these years, playing in Amsterdam on March 4th:
http://www.paradiso.nl/web/Agenda-It...S-OFF-DAY2.htm

Then the day after he's booked to play in London.

Yeah right.

Assuming he still has the same passport issues, it seems more obvious than ever that he'll be sending out a DOOMposter to lip sync a European tour for him... Can he really just get away with that shit?

DOOM can get away with pretty much anything. He's a supervillain.

True... and I admire his honesty/shamelessness about the whole imposter saga, but €35 for having someone lip sync for 20 minutes? That's just a rip-off... although I guess anyone believing he's really coming over deserves to lose that kind of money.

but the thing is, yr paying for the experience. The money you spend is to say you experienced a DOOM show. If that means you experienced one of his bizar imposter pranks, then you still experienced that. Right?

If the people attending see it like that, fine. But I'd feel cheated and disrespected myself. Imposter pranks are funny once or twice, but to do a whole tour like that when it's already known in advance? I don't see the point.

I'll pay for his albums, but I wouldn't pay for a DOOM experience... or a Sonic Youth experience or whichever band.

meh. I guess I just think of going to a show as going to a... SHOW. I mean, if that's what is shows are, then so be it. I think of it like going to a William Castle movie. You're really not paying for the movie...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Castle

But they're not "his" shows, that's the point.

I mean I've seen plenty of fake instruments being played during live hip-hop shows and if the show was good then it didn't really matter, because it's indeed all about the show.

But in DOOM's case he won't be there, it's not his show. He'll be thousands of miles away in a different continent. That's where I clearly draw the line for €35, I don't care what other people do.

but he orchestrated it. It's his show. It's performance art.

Like The Residents. If you go see them live, how do you know you're really seeing hthem?

performance art my ass it's a ripoff pure and simple it's obvious he hasn't sold enough albums to be financially successful so he's burning his true fans.

sad sad

hahahaha

He orchestrated what exactly? Most of what I've read about DOOM's gigs involves fans waiting three hours only to get an imposter lip-sync for 20 minutes and leave the stage. That's performance art? Get the fuck out, it's called shitting on your fans. It's a shame, because I would've liked to go see him.


yeah, or SunnO))), The New Blockaders, Caroliner, Daft Punk or GWAR. You can play that game for many people. What I do know is that when I went to see The Residents it was a lot cheaper than what DOOM's asking and they performed for nearly two hours... without lip synching.

alright, well then just don't go. Makes little difference to me.

cool guys! I'm seeing DOOM and Mos Def. Or maybe I'm seeing Mos Def and a DOOMposter or maybe I'm seeing Mos Def wearing a DOOM mask. Regardless of that, I'm going to a DOOM show
