    Madvillainy is one of the greatest things my ears have ever heard, MF DOOM and Madlib did something truly incredible. (Also 12:01 please do an Aesop Rock breakdown in the future).
    P.s. For other DOOM songs maybe you could do All Caps, Rapp Snitch Knishes, Doomsday, or Acordeon.

    Man i remember stumbling on MF DOOM for the first time as King Geedorah. It was one of the Underground Hip-hop for Dummies mixes some guy put together on their blog, and I heard Fazers and immediately had to go listen to all of Take Me To Your Leader.
    Like one of the other posters here, DOOM and Aesop Rock are some of my all time favorites along with Del The Funky Homosapien.
    Rest in Peace DOOM.

  • @DrClawizdead
    @DrClawizdead 11 месяцев назад +5

    I had another interpretation of the lines _Everything that glitters ain't fish scale/Lemme think don't let her faint get Ishmael_
    I took it as a Moby Dick reference. _Everything that glitters ain't fish scale_ meaning pure cocaine and Moby Dick was a huge white whale/brick of cocaine. Also whales are mammals so they do not have scales which is the literal translation. Or it could mean everything that glitters isn't pure. Moby Dick was one of the first pieces of media to portray the color white as evil (the good guys always wore white hats etc.)
    _Lemme think, don't let her faint, get Ishmael"_ After Ahab finally killed Moby Dick, Ishmael was the only one of the crew to survive.

    Everytime Doom comes in my playlist I have the urge to kiss my Doom ring, this man said and did so much for hip hop and for me while being in his metaphorical pijamas of life, on his own space.. it's insane how you can be talented to the point that your spoken word talks into you instead of talking to you. RIP Doom, I'll always remember how I found you at 12 by accident, props Knox for showing people talent is not about numbers nor fame, you a real one.

    DOOM uses so many double-meanings its insane, for example, something you didnt touch on with the "start shit-stoppa/ be a smart shoppa" line is that its probably meant as a double meaning. Saying to the rappers that like to start shit, to be a "smart shopper"(IE: look somewher else to start shit) because he's a "start shit-stopper". Also, another point to the Anita Baker line, DOOM has sampled Anita Baker, specifically on the track HOE CAKES, which just adds another little spinkle of seasoning to "Patty Cake/Anita Baker" thing.

    Take it from the Tec-9 holder
    Dead bent, but don't know their neck shine from Shinola
    Everything that glitters ain't fish scale
    Let me think, don't let her faint get Ishmael
    A shot of Jack got her back, it's not an act stack
    Forgot about the cackalack, holla back, clack- clack-blocka
    Villainy, feel him in ya heart chakra chart toppa
    Start shit stoppa be a smart shoppa
    Shot a cop day around the way 'bout to stay
    But who'd a know there's two mo' that wonder where the shooter go
    'Bout to jet, get him, not a bet, dead 'em
    Let 'em spit venom said 'em got a lot of shit with 'em
    Let the rhythm hit 'em, it's stronger in the other voice
    We make the joints, that make 'em spread 'em butter moist
    Man, please, the stage is made of panties
    From the age of baby hoochies, on to the grannies
    Hand me the dough rake, daddy
    The flow make her fatty shake, patty cake, patty cake
    For fake, if he was, Anita Baker's man
    He'd take her for her masters, hit it once and shake her hand
    On some ol' thank ya ma'am an' ghost her
    She could mind the toaster if she sign the poster
    A whole host of roller coaster riders
    Not enough tracks (is it?)
    Hot enuff black (for ya)
    It's too hot to handle, you got blue sandals
    Who shot ya? Ooh, got you new spots to vandal?
    Do not stand still, boast show skills
    Close but no crills, toast for po' ills, post no bills
    Coast to coast, Joe Shmoes flows ill, go chill
    Not supposed to overdose, No-dose pills
    Off pride tikes now talk wide though scar meat
    Off sides like how Worf rides with Starfleet
    Told ya, on some get-rich shit
    As he get older, he gets colder than a witch tit
    This is it, make no mistakes
    Where my nigga go?
    Figaro, Figaro
    All these beats and my rhymes attack
    A scary act
    All black like, Miss Mary Mack
    Wait 'til you see 'em live on the piano
    Doom sings soprano like uno dos y'ano
    My momma told me
    Blast him and pass her her glass of Ol' E
    Not to be troublesome
    But I could sure use a quick shot of double rum
    No stick of bubble gum
    I like ice cream
    We could skip the wedding
    Have a nice dream
    She only let him stick the head in
