  • @daleycarter

    The funny thing is, the mask IS an image. I can't think of any image more iconic or synonymous with a rapper than DOOM's mask, and the lore around his villain persona.
    But I get the point he was making.

    • @AnAbsurdExistence
      @AnAbsurdExistence  Год назад +8

      Very true, but that was his intent. I cut off the part where DOOM talks about rejecting the idea of selling the artist, the mask is what he is selling, the character is what he's selling not the literal person.

    I like to compare MF Doom’s approach to the industry the same way one would for an NFL player entering free agency. Every album he would sign it over to a label to carry out the distribution, etc then onto the next label with the next project. I compare it to an nfl free agent bcus it reminds me of a player going to a team on a 1 yr deal then doing the same with another team the following year. It gives you that creative freedom while also being able to negotiate terms every release. Genius

    Alter Ego = a person's secondary or alternative personality.
    Venomous Villian was a DOPE album! Still Dope. I still listen to it even to this day. Let's not forget that each DOOM alter ego with their respective albums were each their own entites, ON PURPOSE. So expecting Venomous Villian to be another Madvilliany defeats the entire purpose. The same way that Funkadelic wasn't Parliament and vice versa. Kool Keith took the same approach to his art as well, with the Black Elvis, Tashan Dorrsett, Dr. Octagonecologyst, Dr. Dooom, Grant Shapiro, etc alter egos. If the same Kool Keith from 1987 would have been the one rapping now, he wouldn't have the career longevity or worldwide fan base that he has. I won't even delve deeply into Sun Ra and how he constantly reinvented himself for a career of about 50 years with well over 100 albums released in his lifetime. Possibly the above artists learned The Formula from him?
    Benefits for and of all of the above? Expanding fan bases worldwide and working the music (edit: business*) as they should have been, WELL, to stay Paid In FUll no matter what happened with the Labels (shout out to GZA/The Genius and Prince Rakeem/RZA, and other Wu artists who continuously reinvent themselves too). What DOOM did isn't new or unique, yet it is a working formula. Different alter egos of the same artist with different angles and different stories to tell. Creativity has no limits, even when critics such as ourselves chose to impose them. MF DOOM wasn't supposed to be taking, and obviously didn't take the same approach with King Geedorah or Madvillian or Viktor Vaughn or Metal Fingers, JJ DOOM, or even the Danger Doom albums. Same Man, different alter egos, and different narratives and concepts to match. Seems like Mr. Dumile was simply Genius at work to me. In Godmode.
    Oh, and so that I don't sound like TOO much of a critic myself (shrug), I dig the video as a whole, and thank you for it. I just disagree with the estmate of the Viktor Vaughn. Still Dope, in my opinion. Peace.

DOOM never wanted to sellout, so there is no knowledge about how big he could have actually been. With that being said he stayed underground and messed over indie companies who actually would have did the same, if they were giving the opportunity(money). He played the game before they even started. Which is a breath of fresh air to hear about. Thousand of these rappers our getting played indie or mainstream today.
