it’s weird, i grew up watching the boondocks but never made the connection. now as a major MF DOOM fan it’s actually dope as hell to see they’ve worked together. solid vid m8
The Boondocks put me on to DOOM years before I even knew who he was. Going back to watch the series and hearing ALL CAPS start playing was a trip and a half.
I’m old so I was already into doom but, I thought it was Fancy Clown in the first season 7th ep? All caps could def have been first I dunno that was like 03 lol
MF DOOM blasting in my car as me and my friend parked at our college hotboxing and listening hard to the lyrics of Madvillainy is a cherished priceless memory. RIP to the villain.
Damn watching this was a blast from the past. adult swim from 2000-2006 had the greatest run of shows. brings a damn tear to my eye. long live MF DOOM!!!
Another deep cut in the Oprah episode, Bushido Brown says “You come straight outta a comic strip” which references the Boondock’s origins and also the official All Caps music video.
First introduction to Doom was in 11th grade back in 07. I was coming out the classroom to lunch, and a couple friends were huddled up. I joined the circle and one of them had Operation Doomsday album and another one pulled it up on their iPod classic. Ended up taking my friends iPod home and I listened non stop, between classes and now through 13 more years of life. Till this day still one of my favorite albums.
I remember having a vague feeling of "I've heard ALL CAPS before" when listening to it recently and for the longest I couldnt remember where it was from..then I got to binging The Boondocks while cleaning and sure enough that's where my memory was.
The very fact MF Doom music was in the Boondocks, and I didn't notice it for the longest time. It was literally at the *end credits* of the episode; no wonder DOOM's music was so familiar.
It was my introduction to DOOM, and I didn't even know it. Years after I'd seen the show several times, a friend of mine in college introduced me to DOOM. I was into it, wanted to hear more, so I dove in head first. Came across "Strange Ways" at random, and instantly recognized it. Then the other songs featured on the show followed. 10 years later, he's still my favorite rapper. RIP to the legend.
My first introduction to DOOM was in high school when I started listening to Joey Bada$$ and his 1999 mixtape which had 2 tracks originally produced by the villain himself. But when my brother put me onto Boondocks I was hooked immediately, I came to appreciate the show way more when I heard DOOM tracks in a few episodes
@@ib482 del tha funky homosapien or deltron 3030...that's a lot to go through but worth it. My first stop with Del would be DEL And AMP LIVE. Yo and don't forget to check out Dr.Octagon.
@@kko9329 doom is featured on November Has Come off the album demon days. I don't think he's on any other Gorillaz tracks but I can't remember for sure. Del is on a handful of Gorillaz tracks most notably Clint Eastwood and Rock the House off the self titled album 🤘
@@AnAbsurdExistence ok so I’m not totally sure about my 4 & 5 spots so he’s actually top 3 for me. TuPac, Eminem, MF DOOM, then Idk I recently put Esoteric at 4 then possibly a ton of others and I could be in there myself potentially too lol
@@AnAbsurdExistence oh yeah I forgot the last upload on my channel is an Art of War remix . I’m just a broke independent artist but fr DOOM is a huge reason I started rapping again. I have so much love for that man 💯 and for the music/culture
Dude, I've struck Gold with this channel. So many esoteric, subtle references, editing and music choices only a few will pick up and appritiate. But it must be cherished. Rare to find such a good channel! Currently binge watching all of your videos. I know it sounds corny, but i think if we randomly met over a beer or something IRL then we would be in complete disbelief with how much we have in common. The Internet is truely a godsent for people like us. We live on different sides of the planet, yet share the same niche interests and consume much of the same content. MF Doom, commentary channel drama, esoteric media, icebergs and internet culture references. All the good shit. Keep it up, man! Let's fucking goooo!
Thanks for this video man. Boondocks was my first time hearing MF DOOM back in highschool. It was so fucking awesome having been into anime at the time, loving fight scenes and starting to see hip hop paired with it in amvs. Then to see that ON CABLE TV synced up perfectly, it was amazing, so hype.
First exposure was my Spotify recommending accordion. Then I never listened to madvillainy. My first time really looking up and listening to who DOOM was was the mouse and the mask. Then I went from there. TMATM is still my favourite DOOM album, but the czarface collabs are making good competition
When EP11 first aired I remember jumping off the couch yelling at everyone in the room about MF DOOM and how stoked I was to hear his music in the episode. and they were like, "Yo stfu I can't hear the show" hahahaa RIP Dumille
Yooo, that's awesome. I remember DOOM was on Adult Swim hosting that one Christmas special thing. I actually first discovered him around the same time I started smoking pot haha, he is greatly missed I'm sure, and he is definitely and indefinitely will be a rap god
I’ve loved the boondocks years and years ago, and I’ve been getting into dooms music for a few years now. How am I just finding out they was playin doom tracks on there?!🤬
Such an awesome video. I just found your channel and I’ve been going through the back catalog. Boondocks is one of the best shows I’ve ever seen. Such a good mix of comedy, politics, history, philosophy, and it accomplished the rare goal of making me laugh and think after every episode.
Fantastic my guy. Love Doom, miss him. Love Boondocks miss it. Ima be sure to check out the Boondocks mixtape and rewatch some of the episodes you mentioned.
The first I heard of MF DOOM’s music was when my friend mentioned the Gorillaz song ‘November has Come’ which featured him. When i heard ALL CAPS in the Oprah episode I remember not even paying attention to the scene and focusing more on the music. This got me back into DOOM’s music and subsequently Gorillaz for the previously mentioned song.
My first encounter with DOOM was not boondocks but it was Adult Swim. They just randomly played the ATHF song off the Mouse and the Mask album and I googled it immediately.. after that its all history. Until then I got most of my music from my older brother, but this was the first music I discovered without anyone's influence (aside from [AS] ). I feel like that's a big part of why I love this mans music so much. I remember hearing his lyrics in awe, feeling like I found a treasure that no one around me knew about. The persona, the lyrics, the mask.. it all just spoke to me in a profound way and to this day I chase for scraps of any lyrics I haven't heard or analyzed for that feeling.. Unfortunately not much of that will happen now, but let his work live forever.. R.I.P. Villain!
my first exposure of doom was very young. I was a bored teen so I watched random music videos and i came across his MV "monkey suite", after that i discovered him, Madlib, Quasimoto, J-Dilla, and other underground Hip Hop/Rap artists. So imagine hearing him in Boondocks was a surprise.
1:38 even right here the, first time I saw them pouring the gems into the bag and heard the MF DOOM song, I immediately thought of the Superman cartoon of the robot stealing from the bank that’s even in video for MF DOOM’s PENNYROYAL. So cool how much synergy there is intentionally or not!
Boondocks let’s nab Oprah was how I got into MFDOOM and he’s all I listen to now. I remembered I had such a hard time finding strange ways in the episode cuz the soundtrack didn’t list it.
The Boondocks served as my first introduction to MF Doom and a number of Wutang songs, particularly Raekwon and Ghostface. The show was filled with great tracks and references! Now that the internet is a thing, its great to finally know which tracks made their way into the show bc you just didnt know back then!
My first exposer to DOOM was a random Spotify playlist or album or something that showed up on my page little bit after the announcement of his passing in 2020, I might not have been the longest running fan but I love his music never the less and was sad when I found out he died
Aaron is a genius even more after this video . Not only did he make an entertaining timeless comedy making fun of current events of that time without beating you over the head about it . They matched non mainstream music up with the lyrics putting the world on to the late great doom !!!!! Wild
I had found MF DOOM a while ago on Spotify and was watching through Wingmen today. When I saw the MADVILLANY album at the end of the credits I felt nothing but confusion, as I had no clue on just how far DOOM stretched through media that I already enjoyed. Great video that explained all I needed.
I got into the show first and the artist a few years later but I re-watched the series a few times over the years and my ears are good at picking up musical samples I know. You got them all, great vid. 👌
i got into doom through adult swim, but not because of boondocks. it was because back in 05 they were helping to promote the danger doom album mouse and the mask. i picked it up and it was like nothing else i'd ever heard.
Thankfully I knew of DOOM because my older brother helped raise me on hip hop and hearing his shit in The Boondocks always made me so happy .. I remember the day it premiered on Teletoon over here in Canada, my childhood was made.
Originally my first exposure was on a Tony hawk game with a song called put your quarter up, I just got into atmosphere and they did that track with him and Aesop rock same time I heard Aesop rock for the first time too, I think the original artist is mole man I think the Tony hawk soundtrack was Tony hawk underground 2
Amazing video bro! Didn't remember there being this many MF tracks on Boondocks but it's been awhile since I watched the show. Anyway keep up the great work!
These two have played a large part in my life. Thank you two and thank you absurd for reminding me of this. We are all living off borrowed time, while the clock ticks faster.
I was a fan of DOOM, and a fan of The Boondocks, separately before I noticed how much DOOM was in it. They knocked it out the park with the music choice in that series
Grew up watching Doom rocking the open mic with a bandana on his face at Nuyorican in the village. Cool to see him progress thru the years and get the recognition wo ever asking for it. Goat emcee/producer
Man my first exposure was for sure this show, but i didnt know who the singer was since im not a native english speaker. Year laters i found ur channel and watch ur vid about him and end up hearing his albums totally in love with DOOM character.-
I would be willing to bet that The Boondocks was my first exposure to Madvilliany but I didn't really make the connection until a re-watch years later after I had fallen in love with the album by itself. Nowadays on re-watches it's just so perfect, I love everything about both of them and they work so god damn well together.
My intro to DOOM was people on reddit who put him in their top 10 last year. To this day I have no idea what hes talking about, the music just sounds so good.
For me, my first exposure to MF DOOM was actually a meme video from a few years ago which got me into MF DOOM. And just two years later I actually got to watch the Boondocks and heard the tracks.
My first time hearing doom was when they played raid that started my love for doom. Boondocks is goated and introduce me to doom at a young age I loved his music ever since.
I actually discovered MF Doom through that episode where Huey fights Bushido Brown. An "ALL CAPS" is a certified masterpiece in my opinion. Doom was a lyrical genius.
i was really late on mf doom cuz i dont live in the us and im 16, my fist exposure was i was watching tyler and earl meeting MF DOOM for the first time and i looked in the comments saying MF DOOM was "every rappers favourite rapper" so i give it a listen , it was all caps and i was hooked instantly and become a diehard fan but sadly two months later he passed away RIP MF DOOM
My friend showed me DOOM last summer at the very beginning. Its so weird that he passed away so soon after discovering him. It doesn't feel like he's gone tho
This video just popped up in my feed, I know it's a year old but I'll say that I actually discovered DOOM through listening to Nujabes. I had Nujabes radio playing and a lot of DOOM can on the station and slowly I started getting more and more into his music to where he's one of my favorite rappers now
It actually was my first exposure to MF DOOM, watched The Boondocks back in 2006 and was like yoo who is this rapping, it's so different. One of my friends at the time was like oh yeah man that's MF DOOM he's awesome. Rest is history, RIP MF DOOM.
Bro I remember when I was younger I saw my older brother watching the boodocks and i remember hearing MF DOOM music playing and at the time I was like “wow that some pretty cool music” but I was a lot younger at the time and now I’m a big DOOM fan and I never knew it was DOOM
Dope vid, 5:11 I first stumbled across him in Tony Hawks Underground. He's credited as The Herbaliser in that and it's just a different version of his song My Favorite Ladies. THUG was also the first time I heard Quasimoto, Low Class Conspiracy is on there too. Activision's soundtracks used to be so good
I was a fan of DOOM before the Boondocks, My big brother put me on, but that Boondocks ep "Let's Nab Ophra" was the very first episode of the show I watched. The show hooked me in large part because of it's use of DOOM. I was only 14 then but I knew what DOOM was about as an artist and the fact that they used his music told me everything about what that show had going for it. Clear synergy from the begining.
I distinctly remember Strange Ways in the bank robbery scene. It immediately caught my attention, but I had no idea what song it was. I was also young and dumb, so wasn't exactly adept to finding out what song it was. Years later I heard it and immediately made the connection. Love DOOM, and loved The Boondocks.
i loved watching the boondocks as a kid. Bought all 4 seasons a few years back for pretty cheap. My first introduction to mf doom was Gorillaz's song November has come. Dug his style ever since but never really tried searching his own music until about 2015-2016 when I got more into rap.
Worthy of note; MF DOOM actually voiced trailers for new episodes of the later seasons of the Boondocks on adultswim. I specifically remember one where not only did he narrate the trailer, but The Mask by dangerdoom was playing, though it was never heard in the episode
I remember DOOM in Tony Hawks Underground, as well as Quasimoto songs from unseen were also on that game. I remember DOOM being in the first Saints Row as well in 2007.... by boondocks I already was well aware of who he was. When raid played in let’s nab Oprah I was wilin out
9th wonder was also a part of the sound production and they had numerous special guests on there like Mark Hamill and Snoop Dogg, Lil Wayne and Busta Rhymes, GFK, Mos Def, Charlie Murphy Katy Williams and so on
I knew of and heard MF DOOM since before I ever saw The Boondocks. I just happened to catch an episode of The Boondocks at random and watched it from then on. I noticed MF DOOM had tracks that were on the show. I also remember seeing MF DOOM mentions popping up on The Boondocks and adult swim. I was already hearing him so I just figured it was dope he was getting play and potential eyes on him. Once I found out MF DOOM was Zev Love X I thought the whole thing was hilarious cuz I had always been wondering what had happened to him since KMD was straight done and I hadn't heard about Zev Love X doing anything else.
in 10th grade, my friend kept humming the Rap Snitch Knishes beat and i always wondered where the beat was from. about a month later, i was recommended the official audio of Rap Snitch Knishes on RUclips. one of the best days of my life, honestly. also, such a coincidence lol
It’s crazy first watching the boondocks years ago then discovering DOOMS music now I’m rewatching boondocks and just heard DOOM during the Raid episode and now ALL CAPS playing during the Bushido fight glad to see one of my favorite channels Adult Swim and favorite artists MF DOOM cliqued up. RIP MF DOOM and GRANDAD
I was a huge fan of the Boondocks when it was on Netflix a few years ago but haven't seen it since. In that time I've also become a huge fan of DOOM, it's interesting to me that I enjoyed both at separate times and didn't know they had crossed path's

MF Doom also has tracks in the very first saints row

Heard Chet in the background my god you are to cultured in music ❤️
My first DOOM experiece was the Rap Snitches instrumental
I would be willing to bet that The Boondocks was my first exposure to Madvilliany but I didn't really make the connection until a re-watch years later after I had fallen in love with the album by itself. Nowadays on re-watches it's just so perfect, I love everything about both of them and they work so god damn well together.
Good job dude. I was too young when I watched Boondocks to really be on DOOM yet, but this is dope
3:53 Based Sopranos deleted scene enjoyer
I’m so glad I grew up with what I did, you don’t realize it but everything just falls into place.
I loved the boondocks, I’ve rewatched it several times, it’s stayed relevant through time and has aged pretty well thus far
My intro to DOOM was people on reddit who put him in their top 10 last year. To this day I have no idea what hes talking about, the music just sounds so good.
For me, my first exposure to MF DOOM was actually a meme video from a few years ago which got me into MF DOOM. And just two years later I actually got to watch the Boondocks and heard the tracks.
Such an extremely enjoyable video
The first time I watched ep 11 I immediately looked up the music and was hooked
Brilliant! Amazing editing and informative. Keep up the good work! You’ll make it big one day.
My first time hearing doom was when they played raid that started my love for doom. Boondocks is goated and introduce me to doom at a young age I loved his music ever since.
I actually discovered MF Doom through that episode where Huey fights Bushido Brown. An "ALL CAPS" is a certified masterpiece in my opinion. Doom was a lyrical genius.
i was really late on mf doom cuz i dont live in the us and im 16, my fist exposure was i was watching tyler and earl meeting MF DOOM for the first time and i looked in the comments saying MF DOOM was "every rappers favourite rapper" so i give it a listen , it was all caps and i was hooked instantly and become a diehard fan but sadly two months later he passed away
RIP MF DOOM
Lmao I was just listening to mf doom thinking to myself “this reminds me of the boondocks for some reason”
My friend showed me DOOM last summer at the very beginning. Its so weird that he passed away so soon after discovering him. It doesn't feel like he's gone tho
This video just popped up in my feed, I know it's a year old but I'll say that I actually discovered DOOM through listening to Nujabes. I had Nujabes radio playing and a lot of DOOM can on the station and slowly I started getting more and more into his music to where he's one of my favorite rappers now
Boondocks did not put me on DOOM, but was glad that they did put somethings in the show.
It actually was my first exposure to MF DOOM, watched The Boondocks back in 2006 and was like yoo who is this rapping, it's so different. One of my friends at the time was like oh yeah man that's MF DOOM he's awesome. Rest is history, RIP MF DOOM.
Amazing video, for me, DOOM introduced me to The Boondocks, since i never heard about the show due to where i live.
Bro I remember when I was younger I saw my older brother watching the boodocks and i remember hearing MF DOOM music playing and at the time I was like “wow that some pretty cool music” but I was a lot younger at the time and now I’m a big DOOM fan and I never knew it was DOOM
instantly realized that chet baker was playing in the background.
love him.
@@AnAbsurdExistence you love Chet Baker and DOOM? Stop stealing my preferences bro
Dope vid, 5:11 I first stumbled across him in Tony Hawks Underground. He's credited as The Herbaliser in that and it's just a different version of his song My Favorite Ladies. THUG was also the first time I heard Quasimoto, Low Class Conspiracy is on there too. Activision's soundtracks used to be so good
This Video Is Great, 1M Soon!
Nice video dude
I was a fan of DOOM before the Boondocks, My big brother put me on, but that Boondocks ep "Let's Nab Ophra" was the very first episode of the show I watched. The show hooked me in large part because of it's use of DOOM. I was only 14 then but I knew what DOOM was about as an artist and the fact that they used his music told me everything about what that show had going for it. Clear synergy from the begining.
I distinctly remember Strange Ways in the bank robbery scene. It immediately caught my attention, but I had no idea what song it was. I was also young and dumb, so wasn't exactly adept to finding out what song it was. Years later I heard it and immediately made the connection. Love DOOM, and loved The Boondocks.
i loved watching the boondocks as a kid. Bought all 4 seasons a few years back for pretty cheap.
My first introduction to mf doom was Gorillaz's song November has come. Dug his style ever since but never really tried searching his own music until about 2015-2016 when I got more into rap.
Worthy of note; MF DOOM actually voiced trailers for new episodes of the later seasons of the Boondocks on adultswim. I specifically remember one where not only did he narrate the trailer, but The Mask by dangerdoom was playing, though it was never heard in the episode
I remember DOOM in Tony Hawks Underground, as well as Quasimoto songs from unseen were also on that game. I remember DOOM being in the first Saints Row as well in 2007.... by boondocks I already was well aware of who he was. When raid played in let’s nab Oprah I was wilin out
9th wonder was also a part of the sound production and they had numerous special guests on there like Mark Hamill and Snoop Dogg, Lil Wayne and Busta Rhymes, GFK, Mos Def, Charlie Murphy Katy Williams and so on
I watched this whole show before ever hearing about doom, its crazy how i never noticed this.
I knew of and heard MF DOOM since before I ever saw The Boondocks. I just happened to catch an episode of The Boondocks at random and watched it from then on. I noticed MF DOOM had tracks that were on the show. I also remember seeing MF DOOM mentions popping up on The Boondocks and adult swim.
I was already hearing him so I just figured it was dope he was getting play and potential eyes on him.
Once I found out MF DOOM was Zev Love X I thought the whole thing was hilarious cuz I had always been wondering what had happened to him since KMD was straight done and I hadn't heard about Zev Love X doing anything else.
in 10th grade, my friend kept humming the Rap Snitch Knishes beat and i always wondered where the beat was from. about a month later, i was recommended the official audio of Rap Snitch Knishes on RUclips. one of the best days of my life, honestly. also, such a coincidence lol
As a little kid that’s how I found MF DOOM, miss him.
My first exposure to DOOM was through Gorillaz - November has come. I heard his voice and just had to find out more about him and his music.
I was trying to find Raid for years, thank you.
I owe a lot to Adult Swim, specifically for introducing me to MF DOOM.
It’s crazy first watching the boondocks years ago then discovering DOOMS music now I’m rewatching boondocks and just heard DOOM during the Raid episode and now ALL CAPS playing during the Bushido fight glad to see one of my favorite channels Adult Swim and favorite artists MF DOOM cliqued up. RIP MF DOOM and GRANDAD
“Esoteric” like CZARFACE? Also using Avalanche in the intro is so perfect
I was a huge fan of the Boondocks when it was on Netflix a few years ago but haven't seen it since. In that time I've also become a huge fan of DOOM, it's interesting to me that I enjoyed both at separate times and didn't know they had crossed path's
