I always loved the King Geedorah persona the most out of any of DOOM's personas since I'm huge kaiju fan. Whenever I'd go over to grandma's apartment as a kid, there was this stack of DVDs that mostly consisted of 60's samurai flicks, Shaw Brothers/Golden Harvest martial arts films, and showa era japanese monster movies (my grandma is of japanese decent so those were the movies she gravetated to). I always loved it when DOOM would reference "nerdy" stuff in his lyrics or personas, whether it be Marvel cartoons, or a Star Trek reference, or a sample from an old kaiju film, that's what got me into his albums when I was in middle school, to which I'm still a fan today.
My fav character is prob Viktor Vaughn. While he's younger than DOOM, his record sounds a lot darker, aesthetic wise, than any MF DOOM album, the impression I have with that material is that it's fresh and unique. I prefer Madvillainy overall but Vik is a pretty well developed character thanks to Vaudeville Villain.
@@professionalmemeenthusiast2117 I already did! It's a decent record but can't hold a candle to Vik's performance on Vaudeville Villain. Worth the check for sure.
My favourite is Viktor Vaughn. I love the weird mix of an awkward, nerdy kid flipping needing to be a gangster during his transition to becoming a true villain.
Firstly, this is a great breakdown! Secondly, MF DOOM is one of the most important Hip Hop artists that's ever lived. His contribution to the culture will only be recognised in full, when in 20 years, we're still talking about him. Absolute legend. One of the best ever!
If I had to pick one it's gonna be the main villian, MF DOOM. I also find the idea of Vaughn intriguing because he's a character that admires and looks up to DOOM but has is own separate ideas and adventures.... We need a DOOM videogame.
Another appearance of MF DOOM as King Dumile on The Jade Amulet album is worth a listening and a shout out. A killer concept album I happily revisit beginning to end every few weeks.
A guy with the Facebook name Viktor Dumile replied to a group comment of mine the same night you posted this vid, which was one year to the day after his death was announced. I caught it immediately; freaked me out a bit. DOOM lives forever.
Great video! King Geedorah is probably my fav DOOM persona too since take me to your leader has alot of toho godzilla references and I just like king ghidorah!
aw man, amazing video! i love DOOM so much. in my opinion, his lyrical skill is unmatched and his sample choices are super cool. i love the way he crafted an entire universe of characters who each have their own styles and lore, and I really respect how he went through a lot of hard shit in his life and still came out as an icon. i always go looking 'round for his stuff in record/CD stores - i like looking for all his names and checking if any of his stuff is still in stock (usually not). love to all other fans out there! ❤
There’s something so unusual about Doom’s creativity pertaining to his pseudonyms/identity’s. Appreciate your work man; it’s fans like you that got me into the legend in the first place.
Before he passed he was and is the GOAT ! Rhymes, production, HH culture- Music biz navigation . DOOM is second to none in all aspects. This Man is a cheat code even now that he is not here in the physical. Nothing anyone could say or do could change this man’s immortality.
Noticed you dropped the ball on the special herbs metal fingers section as to how all the covers represent his two favorite rolling papper you mentioned his version of zig zags but missed/overlooked ( or just didn't notice) his cosplay of the Bambu rolling papers man aswell they actually made Bible paper before manufacturing rolling papers hence the urban legend of the extra blank sheet in bibles being reserved as an emergency rolling paper. The special herbs cassettes is definitely an homage to a pack of Bambu rolling papers. [Bambú became a pop culture reference during the 1970s with the release of the Cheech and Chong Big Bambu album. Since then, it has had many other musical references in pop culture by artists such as The Notorious B.I.G., Method Man, A Tribe Called Quest, and others[citation needed]. Most recently Bambú appeared on the front cover of a book Pot Culture[citation needed] Dennis Wilson's second album was titled Bambu, after the rolling papers, and was released with Pacific Ocean Blue in 2008.]
I love how he leaves it in the video "Switch topics here" just a note to himself for when hes editing but just dosent bother to take it out, I actually like it tho lmao. Also i love the commitment to all his MF DOOM content you can see rly see the love he has for making them with it being 80pct of his channel. Keep it up man.
Felt like most people slept on doom his word play and the way he could make simple things actually mean something and articulate them is amazing LLDOOM🧌‼️
Thanks for getting me into MF DOOM, I had heard about him before but didn't listen until now. I didn't even know about all of these different personas so I clearly have more stuff to go through.
Great breakdown! I tried to get DOOM on my last album The 38th Expansion but his management was charging an exorbitant amount for a feature. He sadly passed away about 5 months later.
King Geedorah makes a Couple More Appearances after 2003. CX Kidtronik and King Geedorah drop a Single on stonetrow Records titled Wild Kingdom in 2011. For the 2016 Reissue of King Geedorah, MF DOOM did a radio mix on Solid Steel where there was a King Geedorah remix to the JJ DOOM track Banished. There are also unreleased songs produced by DOOM in that mix.
I just want to say that I have never once took the time to leave a comment on a video and I can’t help but leave one here explaining how flabbergasted I am that there is such a deep history to DOOMS career. I love this video. Will watch again.
Back in 1994, DOOM shopped around the Operation Doomsday demo, there’s a lot of demos that you can find of songs off the album, where he still sounds young like Zev. My favorites being the Gas Drawls, and Operation Greenbacks. Which is LIKELY why King Geedorah was listed, and mentioned in the Operation Doomsday album, he’d already had the moniker for quite some time.
I like about 1/3 of VV2, it's slightly underrated and I think there's a few good ones on there. Took me a few listens to actually click what Bloody Chain was about. Love these vids man thanks for your work. Peace out.
the only thing i knew about this guy was the "i'm here to see MF DOOM" memes, and now i'm hearing all the songs and watching videos explaining his whole life
Talking about specific references and lines from the songs, without playing a clip from the song or showing the lyrics, makes for a very frustrating watch. I was really hoping to hear the different personas juxtaposed. Good breakdown other than that.
Metal Fingaz was my personal favorite after I listened to Licorice. I have all 10 of the special herbs and spices in my work playlist so not a day goes by without at least one MF pick-me-up.
DOOM's been in my orbit for years, I'm taking the time to get to know him. But the classic marvel, toho with his characters and the Jojo + bebop music tells me about the audience
Turn into a triple X monster from a fairy tale movie! He don't know me very well do he? Rest in power to Dumile, excellent video man...and happy new year!
Hey bro, im a rapper. I have been rapping for a couple months now, and one of my buddies suggested that i listen to doom. I had been rapping whole sentences together b4 i heard doom and been inspired to keep going by him, em, nas, etc. Im glad i came across ur channel, bro. It’s given me a new perspective on a master piece of an artist. I go by MC Karma and im working on my debut album, “Back up coz karma struck.” I might try to find and contact MF Grimm one day and see if he would don me MF Karma. Long live doom. Thanks for working hard dawg.❤
Longtime fan of Dumile, since he first rapped on Gas Face back in 89. Has there ever been a cause of death determined? He was only 49, which is extremely young to go.

What's that little jingle tune with the guitar during the pause in the video asking for some support on your channel?
1999!
"It's about the beats
Not about the streets
Or who's food you bout ta eat."

Yo yo yo y’all can’t stand right here in his right hand was a man’s worst night mare🪬

“With butter!”
"Behold the digital vats of urine. DRINK UP BITCHES, TASTE OUR LIQUID GOLD"
Knowing that we will never get any more Geedorah gives me such a bad taste in my mouth, it's just sad man
Truly unfortunate 😔
Take me to your leader is one of the most underated and greatest rap albums ever, so its sad

Geedorah has always been my favorite DOOM persona, as a big kaiju fan. I love that he sampled the showa films so routinely under this persona.
No snakes alive my favorite song
Follow the light, the light is your guide
I always loved the King Geedorah persona the most out of any of DOOM's personas since I'm huge kaiju fan.

yeah love geedorah for the same reason, i love when he actually samples the old showa films in that album its just so cool
I’m a Godzilla and kaiju movie fan so I love that character too
He off sides like how Worf rides for starfleet.
@@abelq8008 which song is that?
The only man who can truly breakdown everything about DOOM. Thanks, AE!
Best explanation video I've seen so far

Listen to Venomous Villain too, it's on YT if nowhere else. Vik is such a cool distinct character.

The fact that Vic diss DOOM on Fancy Clown put his music in another level. Keep it up with vids, dude.
ALL CAPS for the MAN.
Love the Yoshikage Kira theme in the background
"V. Vaughn's the travelling vaudeville villain,
And don't give a flying fxck who ain't not feeling him...'
RIP 👑 D. Dumile
You ethier die a hero, or live long enough to see your self become the villain...
Long live MF DOOM
he is an villan so that doesnt really make sense
"King Ghidorah take me to your leader..."
-MF Doom 🕊🙏🏾😥💜
Few songs later you hear Showa King Ghidorah roar as the hype man.
If I had to pick one it's gonna be the main villian, MF DOOM. I also find the idea of Vaughn intriguing because he's a character that admires and looks up to DOOM but has is own separate ideas and adventures.... We need a DOOM videogame.

Smart man....
Youre a real one for putting this info out here, been listening to his music for months now and been wondering the story myself
MF DOOM is one of my favorite artist, love your videos brother!! 👌🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🔥
Amazing video man 🙌🏽🔥 I figured there was more behind the names of his identities this was perfect
I love how he leaves it in the video "Switch topics here" just a note to himself for when hes editing but just dosent bother to take it out, I actually like it tho lmao. Also i love the commitment to all his MF DOOM content you can see rly see the love he has for making them with it being 80pct of his channel. Keep it up man.
This was beautifully done! Learned more about MF DOOM.
BRO, you make the best breakdowns of artists, with a good taste for real talent, Appreciate your work!
Love all of your videos, thanks for the work on keeping the DOOM lore alive... Highly appreciated.
That’s my goal! Let’s preserve one of the greatest creatives for future generations!
Always love seeing new MF DOOM content also that thumbnail goes crazy🔥
My favorite DOOM content creator strikes again! Keep up the good work!!
I love your style in your videos. Hope your popularity blows up
Thank you bro. It's always great hearing more about DOOM. Keep up the great work brotha.
Rest in peace king. Afterlife gained a supervillan that's about to tear shit up
Felt like most people slept on doom his word play and the way he could make simple things actually mean something and articulate them is amazing LLDOOM🧌‼️
I loved that you used Kira's theme truly goated
With the new liking system I’ve been trying not to like videos, but it’s can’t help but make a exception for your excellent videos
I have been waiting for a videos, and the wait was worth it

The MF moniker is also a reference to MF Grimm, a rapper he looked up to when starting out

Everytime I watch one of you're videos I feel like I should be paying for them, good thing you have a patreon!.
This channel is the start of something special, I can feel it

Who can explain all of the Kool Keith’s aliases….?
Rip DOOM.
Very cool explanations. Thanks.
Nice video!
One thing you missed about viktor is that he is a time traveller.
I'm so happy that there's content on MF DOOM. There's nothing quite like a new vid on DOOM.
I like about 1/3 of VV2, it's slightly underrated and I think there's a few good ones on there. Took me a few listens to actually click what Bloody Chain was about. Love these vids man thanks for your work. Peace out.
Dope channel. I just started listening to MFDOOM and can't stop. Long live MFDOOM
Thank you for the new years gift
-no one man should have all that power
-attributes quote to Pac

Favorite song on Madvillainy is Bistro cause its just DOOM introducing himself, Madlib, and his many personas lol
This video is really well put together
thank you!
R.I.P. DOOM and his many personas

wasn't expecting kira yoshikage
Talking about specific references and lines from the songs, without playing a clip from the song or showing the lyrics, makes for a very frustrating watch.
I was really hoping to hear the different personas juxtaposed. Good breakdown other than that.
MF Doom introduced me to Westside Gunn and therefore Griselda. May he rest in peace before returning to us in the most villainous way.
Remember all caps when you spell man’s name
One could do a similar video on Kool Keith. This one was awesome. Subbed. Going to watch your whole Doom playlist.
That's crazy DOOM came a long way nobody never knew till he actually became doom thats legendary RIP
Only person I can count on to make fire vids 💯. Happy New Years bro, thanks for this gem
That true lightyears flute lives in my brain thanks for including it
Dude had DOOM, Melee, and Bulmas picture in one vid.. subbed 👍🏻
bro i love that you used a jojo song on a DOOM video
Dude you're amazing, easiest sub I've ever clicked. Thank you ♥️
Yooo love the video bro! I started reacting to DOOM a lil while back and all the pseudonyms can be hard to keep track of

had to comment, your DOOM videos are amazing thank you...
you always make such awesome videos, keep up the good work! 👍
Beautiful video brother! Thanks for putting the work 🔥 Just got a new sub 😎
I registered to vote at the RMV when i got my first ID. I didnt know i had the villain himself to thank for that ability.
Turn into a triple X monster from a fairy tale movie! He don't know me very well do he?
Rest in power to Dumile, excellent video man...and happy new year!
Great job buddy, keep up the good work
Awesome vid. I look forward to all your future ones ^^
I always felt like King Geedorah was MF DOOMS pet
Dont forget about special herbs that theres an album of a bunch of his rapper buddies rapping over the instrumentals
Bro thought we wouldn’t notice him putting jojos bizarre adventure part four killer theme 6:37 ☠️☠️☠️
Mr hood is such a fire album. Might be my fav mr doom work and he made it as a child. Great hip hop album through and through
my favorite DOOM persone has to be v-vaughn the traveling vaudeville villain
coz he just didnt give a flying fuck who aint not feeling him
Thank you for making this dude!
The JoJo kira theme really works with this video great work!!
