ok. so, a few things...
This version of the melody i am using was borrowed from Omegah Red's (formerly known as Poison Flowerz) produced beat, where HE used a sample from the original composer (the song is called Kaun Komsott and is performed by Ros Sereysothea) HOWEVER, THIS VERSION IS OMEGAH RED'S VERSION, so i give credit to whom i got it from.
This is a fan made remix, made by me. It will only be found HERE. not spotify, apple, or anywhere else.
Here is the Original Mix: ruclips.net/video/xRRen4nuVkg/видео.html (the original Books Of War mix)
Here is the Original Sample Source: ruclips.net/video/8Hg6JObTZ-I/видео.htmlsi=HusJqrmB8laypQPA
Here is the Original DOOM song ruclips.net/video/7asrACR-Fak/видео.html (It Ain't Nuttin' by The Herbaliser ft MF DOOM)
I thought this was a genuine song when I heard it earlier. I have now played it about 32 times straight through and am genuinely really happy this exists. Works on every level, great effort 🙌
@@Gunn27 thanks. the mix is not admittedly of the best sound quality, considering i ripped the beat AND acapella from youtube, this is quite evident. yet no one has said anything about THAT... but people saying it is not lined up just make no sense to me.
Agreed. There was always something off about the original Books of Wars version that has 30M+ views and I just recently learned that it is a fan edit. Yours is lined *so much* better. It sounds great.
@@Gunn27 fax I was thinking the same it slaps either way tho
@@omatix nah I good dawg Ty for posting this banger
My only regret is not discovering MF DOOM earlier.
Same, we listened to MF Doom at the Restaurant I was workin at.
My little Cousin is Sous Chef for a Cajun & Soul food Restaurant called Viola&Agnes, and Chef would let us listen to music while we work.
We would jam to MF Doom, Wu-Tang, Mos Def, and other rappers including Dubstep while we were Hustlin in the Kitchen.... I'll never forget those days, even though they were rough, they were some of the happiest days of my life and I'll never forget my brothers.
*Nor will I forget the Legendary Rappers who kept us flowin and goin through the days with their Rough Rhymes and grace!*
Better to late than never.
This is the first time I’ve ever actually listened to him, what an intro
First started listening to DOOM in 2014 never looked back
Yeah, same.
Once you discover the mf doom rabbit hole it never ends.
endless war chest of gemz, RIP DOOM
Statement of the year!!!
This comment is describing my life rn
Truly one of the greatest to ever do it
Literally used to listen to screamo and since MF it’s been mainly MF any wu tang member and ofc the almighty czarface was good awakening
My 12 year old son introduced me to mf doom. Although I'm a metal head, I must admit this song is at another level.
wow and I had no faith for this next generation. this made my evening
Your son's cool lol
W son
Almost exactly how I was introduced. My 14 year old daughter played this on one of our drives. I mostly like rock, alternative and 90's hip hop but Doom is something special
welcome to the wormhole.
I’m impressed, this mix does them all justice. That’s difficult to do.
RIP MF DOOM
RIP Guru and DMX too. Really sad.
Rip the villain and dog
I agree. This is the kinda stuff that experts at their art can create. Many of our neighbors don't even know that art like this exists. Share! Blessings upon the living and resting souls represented here!
This comment is how I found out he's gone. Man...
This ain't rap, this is Hiphop.
- Peace from Nepal
Facts my dude 😉
Damn right
Hip hop is the culture, Rap is a part of Hip Hop. 🤦♀️
Hiphop brought me here ✌🏼
Hip Hop its the culture.Rap its an Element 🔥😎
Rest in peace Ros SereySothea, rest in peace MF Doom, rest in peace Guru, rest in peace DMX. Love how Cambodian classics were sampled for Hip hop classics. 🇰🇭✌🏽♥️
Word, SALUTE to the LEGENDS👏👏👏👏✊✊✊🔥🔥👐👐👐👐👐👐👍
DOOOOOM ALL CAPS
what is the song that is sampled?
Eva feel like your getting old everyone rip around you. Me too
I have several good Cambodian friends. They have such a beautiful culture.
3:56 "Will I succumb? Will my heart grow numb? Or will I save the world, by using my mind like a gun?"
A good verse to live by for this dark world
True Indeed🙏🏽
Absolutely, guru is one of the goats
💚🙏💚 stay strong, we all believe in you
very true, i learned self defense, i was jumped at the age of 9, and i told myself, nah im going to know how to defend myself. so i took classes and later as an adult i learned how to use firearms in classes as well. its a scary world out there.
@@TOGthatoneguy maybe read that line again mate
"Will I succumb, will my heart grow numb, or will I save the world by using my mind as a gun" - G.U.R.U. RIP sir you have inspired many people with words of eternal wisdom
Man this beat sounds straight outta Samurai Champloo mad respect for this bro! 👌🏾👌🏾👍🏾 rest in piece to the mad villain of hip hop....
Thought the same
I felt the same thing...
Nujabes also a legend, RIP to him and the villain
Produced by me fam
Nujabes also used the same sample for a beat. That's why.
Shit's still fire even though its not an official collab. RIP MF DOOM, DMX and Guru.
what's the name of the original doom song that's used for this
this guy pays attention
Yeah the Jeru verse is from El Presidente w dj Honda., fucking dope though.

Hell yes shit close to my heart
You’re a real OG if you’re listening to this in 2024!
Lyrics
MF DOOM:
It ain't nothing like a fistful a cash or a bliss fulla the hash
That twist like a mustache, from end to end, spread it like a rash
From talking through your walkman or at your disco bash
Gimme the Timbs Rumplestiltskin brown
A metal face mask with a built in frown
A mic to tilt down, a hundred thousand pounds
And see how kilt sound like spilt milk clown
Cocoa butter on very ashy day fam
With Ray-Bans out on the islands of Cayman
Or I'll break it down for the layman
Bain de Soleil, for that St. Tropez tan
A can a ol' gold too cold to hold, slow ya roll
Keep on moving like Soul II Soul, hold the dough
Like a fool who stole pity y'all
From tryna go up against city hall titty bar
The black mic is like a red violin
Ok, everybody back to the lab, try again
Bloody rap game like leviathan
Leave a bad taste, killin' my high like niacin
Stop kiddin' middlemen need Ritalin
Hit me with the full tin of gin and I'm a kid again
Keep the bong lightin' straight through the song writin'
The super-villain A.K.A the thong bitin', thats inviting all
To the recitin' thats dope and raw
Hoping all y'all come in peace and its open bar
Tear the roof off this bumba raasclaat
By the end of the night spaz like shazbot
I spilt a shot made the pen lines runny
An ill plot that's ten times Ben Stein money, funny
How he rip the scripts with a straight face
With more rhymes than is lines in ya database
Placing rappers in endangerment, who's reckless
With this food for thought sorta' like breakfast
You could mark it off as wreck on a checklist
Wear gold fronts, can't afford no necklace
Shit, that there, could go to help buildin' daycares
Somebody say yeahh.. (yeahhh!)
Pay ya fares, give the Herbalizers their shares
And y'all could pay DOOM in beers; cheers!
RZA:
I came to the shores of America disguised as a peddler
The alpha and omega and the home of the beggars, the black settlers
Who been beaten, raped, lynched, robbed and stoned
And called to roam the earth in service cause they couldn't maintain at home
This dates back to 1555
When they captured the first tribe of men and piled them in a pen
Fifty feet high
And took em all on a 9000 mile ride
And landed on the shore of a place they never seen before
But read about this inside the ancient books of war
Bonded in stainless steel, stripped of their language
Still survived the anguish of slavery but still remained nameless
Separated to portions and tricked by John Haughty Hawkins
And sold on the auction, taught birth control and abortion
Rulers of the first part became slaves of the worst part
The devils cursed God and reversed God
And turned God into dog and made people search hard
No relief came til' the prophet of W.D. Fard
To a trauma, dropped our mommas off in Bahamas
And Barbados, Tobago's, separated us from slave boats
Made our own brothers hate us from Virgin Isle to Jamaica
Trinidad, Honduras, Haiti, Grenada
Bermuda to Cayman, mental enslavement
Jeru the Damaja:
Conquer more dips than the late Hannibal
Terrain gets too rough, I ride the beats like wooly mammals
Smokin' shit like Joe Camel
Fatal when inhaled
Double-0-seven but you still got tail
Q's scrambling device must have failed
Spies, thick thighs, and mics get mil, lies
Deception, military prowess
Bad bitches, tours, and microphone powers
Chemical warfare and mortar showers
Once again blowin' up shit like the Twin Towers
Poison rhymes for enemies or whoever devours
Holdin' shit down until the last hours
Guru:
Worldwide famine, poor people demanding
That somebody do something soon
And let's examine the facts
Behind the violent acts, behind the daily gunplay
The cocaine and the crack
Thug season
What's the reason for the trees and everybody wants to eat
Some gotta resort to thievin', believin'
That a hustle will help 'em get by
But for anyone that gets over
Another hundred will die
Will I succumb, will my heart grow numb ?
Or will I save the world ? By using my mind like a gun
Seems a better weapon, 'cause everybody got heat
I know I carry mine, since the last time I got beat
Ain't nothing sweet
I turn a stickup kid to a soldier, put him down with the cause
Make him feel real bold and more intelligent
Plus aware of the tricknology, the revolutionist
Grab your shit and follow me
Talib Kweli:
2000 came and went 2001 was crazy
People can't deal fashion go back to the 80's
Got me thinking about my n-gas, drinking dark liquor
Sparks flicker in my mind, my heart quick to think about the time
They try to front on a kid, up in front of Medgar Evers
N--ga nailed, Juju, Seth 'n D rolled up like "whatever you wanna do"
Damn n--ga, Derreck locked down,
Seth held the spot down wonder how long he got now, wow
If it happened today who would rob a man
Junior got shot, Ray committed suicide, do or die
Changed to do or live, doing their thing
Rubix is in Altanta, LG ready to bang
Kev lost his baby momma, Kipa lost a baby father
Enough to make you say "why bother?"
But no, they tried harder - that’s strength.
Love to my n--ga John (word) soon as you come back, you back on.
That word is bond.
DMX:
Yeah baby, shit's about to jump off and
Lookin' for the bus to bring in my man from up north
Been like three years since when got knocked
Since he got caught
Punked up like five new blocks, holding down for it
Kept a n--ga straight with money in the books
And them bitches is crooks who look out for other crooks
Took him shopping, money in his pocket is straight
Dropped him off at the wife's crib after we ate
Our estate was the next move for me
Had to make that n--ga chill for at least two to three months
Cause when it's on, it's on
He didn't care
It's like slow down baby
The money ain't going nowhere
Keep in touch though and show how much your ass is with it
The dope flow is there and in a minute you can get it (come on)
You gotta watch a n--ga just coming home in a game
Cause on the low we may just be trying to go against the grain
It Ain’t Nuttin’ - The Herbaliser

thanks
youre god
God bless you kind sir. You have special place in my heart
It's another level when you actually see MF's lyrics. Man was an absolute monster, secondary and sometimes tertiary rhymes and even the syllables. For me this verse is up there with meat grinder
“Disguised as a pillar” not peddler.
Am I the only person that feels legitimate comfort from this song? Whenever I’m in a bad mood or just kinda wanna cease to exist, this song slaps me with the beauty that is life. The fact that humans can make something this comforting is crazy to think about.
thank you so much for the kind words! i'm glad you find comfort in something that i made.
Nah, I got this on just about every morning when I'm in the shop.
comfort the disturbd
definitely not the only person - I found this track 6 months ago and still my go to tune. Beautiful - thanks ArtOfficial!
Yes, soul soothing and chill flowing. Relaxes my Goddess beast within, brings clarity. I just watched my father pass and this.....hits much harder for me rn so much love and respect. Blessings be upon you.

guru will always be the most underrated MC.
Guru really Hits home
Do you know from wich songs these are?
Miss Guru voice, RIP
Man, I feel bad for discovering him late. This is the type of rap I listen to. Rest in peace to the badass supervillain
This is actually a remix made by another person. The original is called it aint nuttin
I found out about him on Gorillaz Demon Days, there is a lot of celebrity deaths that are sad, but this one hurt, I grew up with him and he showed the first poetry that I could understand as true art
I only heard of mf Doom on the Cheat Code album he was on with Black Thought & Joey Badass. I cant get enough.
For us ''older folks'', we felt him from the beginning. Not for his masked face, but for his entire approach to lyricism. The beats, texts, voice were always leaving you thoughtful.
Me tu man
I remember listening to this almost every day just trying to make it through 11th and 12th grade. Going to the military and changing my life now. The line "Okay everybody back to the lab try again" motivated me so hard. So much sadness and uncertianty in that time of my life but this song just grabbed it all in a ball and threw it in the air. Thank you MF DOOM and Dash for the mix.
RIP MF DOOM, GURU, AND DMX.
glad you made it through! thanks for listening.
@@omatix Thank you man. Sending love your way.
Remember this whole shit us just a dream...plan the net or planet
rip guru. one of the best voices ever
True king 🤴
I’ve only known him for about a year and it still makes me sad to think i can’t thank him for what he’s done for Hip Hop and what he means to me. Same with MF DOOM.
Guru was so kind!
We will all meet the maker, if you are seeking you will find the truth
This beat is straight 🔥🔥🔥
This is gorgeous. An actual masterpiece of beautifully mended melodies.
Yes
My friend, search up MF DOOM - "Old fashioned"
*Ancient melodies
woah, 17M Views is a lot
DMX - less than a minute of airtime but still closes it out so hard. RIP to a legend
"Will I succumb? Will my heart grow numb? Or will I save the world, using my mind like a gun?"
Hit me like the Hiten Mitsurugi Ryoshen.
Guru always dropped philosophical bars, kinda like an actual guru
RIP gurú but wow that sentence kill me too bro
That's from Gang Starr's Moment of Truth. Listen to the whole album. Enjoy.
Always warms my heart to see my country's music being sampled and vibe to internationally 🇰🇭
what was the original song?
@@zbastian Kon Komsot (កូនកំសត់) by Ros Sereysothea

That’s interesting bong my best friend is Cambodian 😅

Everyone is talking about how DOOM is underrated but no one gives Guru the props he deserves too. RIP to the greats.
I'm a Japanese high school student
This song is sick even if you don't understand English
I really want to know the meaning of the lyrics
They are rapping about how its like to live as a poor person in America. They are rapping about how you have to use your mind to escape the violence of daily life. How some of their friends are gone and the danger they escaped, but their friends did not.

Bro thats all rap hahahah@@boblee5556
Best of luck in your future, I'm studying Japanese right now and feel the same way about a lot of Japanese music.
Let's be honest,
MF DOOM is one of the best to ever do it. He can tell a story while remaining completely and utterly abstract.
All the while, he stays culturally relevant.
DOOM's a G and no on will ever change my mind.
big fax
Can’t believe Freddie Gibbs claimed he was a better rapper than DOOM….😂 he’s lucky he never got vaporized by the villain but i wish it would have happened I’m so sick of clowns claiming their titles and status. These titles are earned not just because someone made a few hits and someone said they were hot.
The best rapper with no chain you ever heard
Im not a fan of him totally, but i will always check out his stuff
that means he's good
appreciate originality
This, Doom is the king in my book of making me stop the song and rewinding just to hear it again.
Why do they blend so perfectly and seamlessly together this is really well made
A song full of legends and pioneers, most gone but never forgotten or unappreciated
Amen brother
I come on RUclips everyday to listen to this song cause it's not on Spotify 😭
if you download the song you can add the it to spotify in settings but i don't know if it works on a phone
@@arnoldmannjensen539 it does work on phone
This is mad nice. Dope.
The only one that missing is Afu-Ra!
Ra da rugged man also
No eminem
Facts
Peace to you for knowing
and GZA, Ghostface
DMX surprisingly flows over this smooth beat. R.I.P. D. R.I.P GURU
RIP MF DOOM
True hip hop, straight up and down! RIP MF Doom, Guru, and DMX. Legends never die….
I get goosebumps when I listen to this old school poetic type shit…so dope 💽💽💽📀
Same
RZA’s verse is so sick. Guru goes off as well. One of my fav songs right now.
To me Rza either kills it or completely misses his mark but he was dead ass on center with this verse.
@@homedeezyfasheezy5662dead on bawls accurate.
bro I've loved this beat for a decade, but in what UNIVERSE is it even possible that I'm just now hearing this?? DOOM 4eva.
"Okay everybody back to the lab, try again" true words.
Barely any collabs like this anymore, all love to MF Doom, Guru, and DMX
ALL CAPS when you use that man's name... smh
@@davidmoya6449 You right, all love to MF DOOM, Guru, and DMX
@@davidmoya6449 👌🏽
Cats today all sound the same, use the same auto tune or mumble style, so it wouldn't matter..
dont forget bout the RZA
Couldn’t stop moving my head. Fucking incredible artists.
This is such a beautiful homage to so many of our greatest fallen artists. Rest in peace all of you
Everytime I hear DOOM it makes my heart sad knowing that the legend has ended and the songs I love are all I'm ever going to hear from him.
RIP to the truest bluest supervillain, there will never be another.
and Guru.
Your heart should be happy for all the gifts Doom gave us and learn to celebrate and pass on the love of this art. He's all around us you just have to listen.
@@ryansmith7974 you can look at it both ways and both can be appreciated in diferent ways
Wow this sounds absolutely amazing to hear with DOOM’s acapella actually lined up with the beat correctly. Thx for this!!
@@nablaphysics you have no idea what youre talking about.
@@nablaphysics terrible opinion
His verse is off beat on the other version, simple as that.
@@nablaphysics yeah, i don't hear any of that... this is on point, and the verses are lined up perfectly. seems like u just a hater.
Peace fam Doom purposely raps offbeat always has, to the critic I guess what your saying is you know who Vic Vaughn is right ? Must not have been listening for the last 20+ years
This is by far the best use of this production to date. I wish this could get an official release.
This feels like if DOOM and nujabes collabbed. May both of them rest in peace.
Amazing work by the mixer and producer on this.
Gone never forgotten R.I.P to legends on this track and R.I.P to my father who just passed this song gives so much peace, comfort and fight.
R.I.P to your dad. Hope you are doing ok. Your memories are his legacy.
Jeru the Damaja criminally underrated. Such a dope track
word
Well said
Bro you mastered that Nujabe/east coast vibe big ups
Listening back to this song is something else…the riff actually gives me chills
Guru goat verse
It’s rare that i’m at a loss for words. This song is a instant classic. No need to wait 25 years to see if people still bumping it. Great job!
Damn! Never got chills from 🔥 before
comment of the year! #salute
You have a way with Words my friend. DOOM would be proud
@@omatix I love you pfp homie ⚔️
You don't get lyrics like this now days awesome
This era of rap is on the endangered hit list. Love that I grew up listening to it! Newly rediscovering Doom like an old bike. Rides even better later in life. Respect to my day 1’s. Respect to this era of hip hop. I’m never gonna stop blasting this music through my ears. This is the truth
This is the definitive version. Hits so much harder than all those other unsynchronized versions that are out there.
Yo who ever put this mix together did a tremendous job 🔥
why, thank you!
@@omatix just curious but do u know what song the talib kweli verse originally came from? Dope mix btw
thanks. ruclips.net/video/Q_rHITqvUvU/видео.html
@@omatix this version is so much better than the other one with millions of views, felt like I was crazy being the only person thinking that one was out of time while everyone was raving about it
@@timj6121i agree, the verses come in almost a minute into the song and its hasty but this one does each of these legends much justice! This is a timeless classic.
Seriously still one of the best collaborations that's ever existed....
I like the instrumental I feel like it doesn’t match his voice
Inspiration from Me Role Models❤
Woooowww amazing remix, everything blends together seamlessly. Fire yo. Bless up.
thank you 👍🏼
@@omatix eventhough you just reuploaded it, wack
@@GaminGusTav re-uploaded it? from where?!? this particular version with the extra verses is MY CREATION, to be clear. the original only has DOOM & RZA on it. understand that.
@@omatix wow, but you just put extra verses, you did not create the original mix.
@@GaminGusTav the 'original mix' was not mixed well, which is why i 'remixed' it and made it better. saying i just added verses to the original like it was that simple shows you have no idea what you're talking about.
One of the best songs that I've discovered lately. Beautiful...
Yeah same, trying to force myself to not play it on repeat but, yeah, not going well :/
@@sadsoul777 Its gonna happen and you'll do it again in a year
Facts
@@sadsoul777 lol.same here
Poetry in motion
Discovered DOOM in 2010 when I was a freshman in college. Blew my mind. Can't believe how slept on he is. Never was or ever will be a rapper quite like DOOM.
The verses fit together perfectly over the melody, well done
The man that made this has less than 5k subs with a video that has over 2 mil views, what the actual fuck, this man single handedly resurrected one of the greatest doom/Rza songs of all time, the original was always so hard to find and always had verses missing, what a complete legend, sub to this man, yes you random listener, SUB!
much appreciated, thanks!
OK. Done.
You sold me. Done.
I subbed because of this comment.
(and also because this mix was great)
Ok you made me sub
I can't imagine a better song than this. RIP Doom. A champ within the Valhalla of OG's. Sit and watch. I hope we don't disappoint you.
Couldn't of said it better major zero
i can't describe how beautiful this is, thank you!!
producer killed it. doom murdered it.
Bro this mix is dope! Don’t explain yourself to the haters. Much respect to all who love these genius MCs. Some of the greatest ever
Appreciate that
Really well done and a great tribute to the Villain
thank you!
@@omatix
Do this BUT
With
Guru
Talib
DOOM
Jeru
Rza
Black thought

Kool keith pls
this will always be one of the best songs ive ever heard in my life
This is the first introduction to any MF DOOMs discography and the mixing is here is always sliding to the next and is sharply continuous, wish could've listened to MF DOOM earlier
Biggest blessings to the ascended mcs. With gifts of words. Sounds we heard. We give thanks for the time..
Ascended MCs has a great ring to it
Respect from India..Miss u Mad Villain! Thanks for this version brother
This is the perfect song. The flawless beat, impactful lyrics, and haunting messages will be with me forever.
When I hear this masterpiece, I imagine peace: a soft sand beach, waves crashing gently on the shore; a green, open, unexplored land tameable with a sword and shield; the calming rush as you observe a thunderstorm in the distance; the warm feeling in your chest as you think of an adventurous life in a simpler, cleaner world, free of our modern burdens.
It is the definitive modern epic poem. Six poets speak to us in a way nobody else could. They tell us about a world where the past, present, and future already exist in the ancient Books of War. Every verse is an expansion upon the next. It is like a scribe finding a stone tablet and passing it on to his successor, continuing the life of this hip-hop song cycle: one more chapter in the never-ending saga of our lives.
To MF DOOM, the man who changed my life, I wish you well in whatever future beyond death may exist. I have passed you on to my younger brother, playing your best songs for him. I hope he will continue this tradition for himself and those around him. Hip-hop is a gift, and through dedicated listeners like us, it will live through its heirs forever.
Your coment is a blessing
What other songs can u recommend

Words cannot express how much I love the Ros Sereysothea sample, actual fire ❤🔥❤🔥
Damn. These verses blend together extremely well.
This beat, their lyrics, it pierces the soul with beauty and truth. Is there anything purer than this?
I am so lucky. I am 16 and discovered this song 3 weeks ago and i absoloutely love it. This is the song i play everytime i dont know what to do, somehow this song always helps me find the answer to what i am searching for. Thank you MF DOOM 🙌💯
I've discovered MF Doom as of 1 week ago. I only just learned he died. The same happened with Mac Miller. The world is a tragic play, and we are the main characters.
True brother
that is so doep
relax bruv
I cried when the villain died
i feel you... as did i. long live #DOOM
Never heard this with Dooms vocals lined up, sounds amazing, wicked job dude
Haha you must be from some where in New England khed lol "wicked good job" peace from NH
@@chrishildreth6821 i'm from Australia.
Which people use what words is a stereotype in your own head my mans.
I wanna play Ghost of Tsushima with this as the soundtrack
Uma das melhores musicas já feita na historia, já faz quase 2 anos que venho aq todo dia escutar essa obra de arte. MF DOOM, RZA, Guru, Talib Kweli e DMX, rappers que marcaram minha vida. O unico que não conhecia era o Jeru The Damaja, mas após escutar Books of War pesquisei bastante sobre ele, um grande rapper. R.I.P MF DOOM R.I.P DMX Legends
I listened to this version first, then listened to the off beat versions on RUclips and it threw me off. This is literally the smoothest and best version of this remix. Love it. Had to comment because every other version legitimately confused me lol
I appreciate that!
if it’s a remix
you can’t even tell.
they all sound like they on the same track
I've found my people lol, been saying the other version is all whacked out for years but nobody else hears it! And it's got like 30m views lol. It's so clearly out of beat, love that this versions finally been made
S tier mix, I've been vibing to this for a few days
Thank you so much for sharing this. Some of my favorite rappers that are no longer with us. It means alot...
The first song i was exposed to was the song 'One beer left' which was played over the opening of an anime. Can't believe what I missed all these years.
This is one of the highest quality songs I’ve ever heard. I routinely come back to it thank you for creating this
i have been listening to this every day for a week straight now on repeat. as i walk to work and as i walk home from work. you did good on this edit and it should be published publicly to mf dooms pages i would say
This song is such a classic
Just when you thought a masterpiece couldn't get better.
That's what hip hop is all about.
Mad Respect to these real Hip Hop artist Yo! Straight Beating These Streets up with Dope Ass Beats. Taking Breaths away from most of now day MC'S...
This song makes me feel like everything ain’t so bad after all.
My only regret is not discovering MF DOOM earlier. 😮💨😮💨
DMX godly on this beat, his made for laying holy sermons on the track
Rza starts with smooth delivery shows his growth but all around fire
Recycled verse from Gravediggaz track.
@@mb748 - The Night the Earth Cried…..I actually liked that verse over the Gravediggaz beat….it sounded out of place here for some reason
@@mb748 actually flows better on this beat though IMO
@@mb748 this is a fan made song
MF Doom was/is the culmination of the best of 1990's rap and hip hop.. sprinkles of all the best and making it his own..
Such an amazing track! All greats
Props on this, a masterpiece composed of already formulated masterpieces, well done
3:34 Honestly the most powerful rap verse I've heard in a while.
For everyone that gets over, another hundred will die.
verse by Guru. Listen to Gang Starr if you want more of him.
Form which song that verse came?
listen to the song moment of truth if you want to hear some powerful fucking verses
@@HMiD0v the revolutionist by gang starr, its guru's third verse
This is pure GOLD!! Thank you for posting this LEGENDARY ART! 🔥🔥🔥🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
RIP DOOM, we miss ya dude.
This is so good!!! From New Zealand mad love & respect!! Mad talent on this track!!!
