If you only just started listening, I have a few songs to reccomend to you. Lickupon, Meathead, Raid, Fancy Clown, GAZILLION EAR, Fazers, Gas Drawls, Curls, Figaro, and THATS THAT. These are some of my personal favorites and some of them are a little lesser known. I hope this helped you
“It’s impossible to be in a bad mood when listening to his music” this is literally word for word what I said to my sister when mourning his death. At first I tried not to listen to him cuz I felt like it was too soon, which proved to be impossible cuz I can’t go a single day turning on at least one DOOM song but when I finally started playing it again, even tho it’s retroactively sadder it was hard to listen and be too depressed. His music is just too fun, it shows his humanity while simultaneously not telling you much detail at all. But it doesn’t have to because his interests and influences are spilled out onto every track making it a very intimate feeling listening to his works. In the same way you use nerdy references and callbacks while talking to a friend even when a situation is serious or bittersweet.
Here to remind everyone that Madvillainy is one of the best hiphop albums of all time and wether or not you care about DOOM you absolutely have to listen to it
@@gaditetheghost1953 idk I don't like Born Like This as much as some of his other albums. Its a great album, and I love how dark it sounds, but I feel like MM.. FOOD is peak DOOM.
YES! Thank you! After DOOM passed away many people have talked about his rhyme schemes and his nerdy references etc But almost no one gives him enough credit for his INCREDIBLY clever wordplay and the dense layers upon layers of meanings that almost every single line of almost every song has.
“I’m the one known for giving really heavy back aches, grown but still living off little Debby snack cakes” I relate to this more than I am comfortable with. Those lil Debbie snacks are the shit
My favorite artist. Definitely one of the most influential and unique artists. It baffles me how he still goes almost entirely unrecognized by the mainstream media. For example, when he died, nobody I knew posted about it or talked about it. Although, when other rappers such as pop smoke and x died, everyone went wild.
Yeah same here, but it was cool seeing almost every rapper talking about him. It just goes to show you that he's your favorite rapper's favorite rapper
I assumed this video was going to be about “motherfucking” Doom, as in the video game. I ended up learning about a rapper I’d somehow never heard of before or even recognized
It's so crazy that the man behind the supervillain mask died on Halloween, the day of masks. In 2020, the year full of masks. It's such a tragic poetic coincidence that you can't top
"It's like I was making a new friend through his music" is definitely how I feel when I really start to understand an artist and why they do their work and it makes me love the art even more. I'm so glad I found this channel I feel like I relate so much to what you're saying in your videos and I really appreciate you saying it.
Something I felt you missed and brushed over a bit was that DOOM can have some heavy meaning in his songs sometimes, like in ? on Operation Doomsday that second verse about his brother just hits so hard…
I think the biggest reason MF DOOM'S rhyme schemes are so satisfying is they're like psychedelic quasicrystal patterns, patterns that have such a theme but don't repeat like fractal patterns, It's this dense quasicrystal rhyme schemes that leaves you even as a long time fan discovering more complexity in each bar even after hundreads of listens. There's other things that make DOOM great but this alone would be enough for me to listen to him to the end of time.
Just ran across your video and I appreciate you made this it was very good. As I'm sure everyone else has stated we're all missing DOOM. I'm a fan from the 3rd Bass/KMD days to the WKCR freestyles and Fondle 'em Record's 12 inches. CAPS LOCK FOREVER!
Thanks for making this. I’ve only kind of known about MF DOOM’s work but when I heard he died I felt pretty bad. I even mentioned that he died to a few people who I was pretty sure wouldn’t know who he was, like I was trying to morn or something. Your videos kinda given me some clarity on it, reminded me that when things got pretty rough a couple of years ago I actually did listen to a fair few of his songs on repeat. There’s just something really cool and welcoming about them, plus the fact that they’re just incredible on a a whole bunch of levels. It’s cool that you’ve introduced a whole bunch more people to his stuff just by covering it accurately and respectfully.
The first MF DOOM song I ever heard was Sofa King. “Scared of a bunch of water, stay out the rain. Order a rapper for lunch, spit out the chain” . It was on a bizlesnaff video on RUclips. I have been listening to MF DOOM everyday since and that was three years ago. I can’t believe he’s gone.
This kinda video is what ive been craving since he passed. Its good hearing someone that actually knows their shit talking about him, big ups and RIP DOOM
This really reminds me of German rapper Morlockk Dilemma, for whom MF Doom obviously was a great idol. He too isn't saying that much deep stuff (but when he does, man, he does it) but he's just rhyming mad words some of which I haven't heard for years around topics no one else is rapping about. Adding to that he samples soundtracks of obscure movies preceding the 1950s, creating his completely unique atmosphere where you're just completely baffled all the time by the samples and the lyrics. Plus he's a really nice guy, just talks to his fans after the show and is always chilling - I had to think of him throughout the whole video. So, another reason to love Doom: he inspired a whole subculture around the planet.
I recently just started listening to Doom... His music makes me feel like a kid waking up on a Saturday morning with a bowl of cereal ready to watch cartoons. I can't really explain it any other way, but I know I love it.
Great video dude, this is a great way to learn people about MF DOOM. Very wel done, because it's strange music to get into. One of the best to ever do it. R.I.P. MF DOOM.
You've convinced me, I have a new discography to add to my collection. You had me at 6:19. Subtlety in wisdom is saying one thing and meaning three, all true. I look forward to giving this a proper listen through this week-end.
MF DOOM was something akin to the David Bowie of rap. Ever so talented and always took a playful, witty, dry sense of humor, quirky, curious and explorative approach to their craft.
I found DOOM about 4 months before his death and completely went through his discography soon after and was so bummed when I heard of his passing. RIP to THE legend. Great video.
I came across MF Doom from Demon Days like a lot of people but didn't know what I was really hearing. Years later, I was talking music with someone I worked with and he showed me 'Plumskinz' by KMD (MF Doom's first group before he became MF Doom) and I loved the production on it. One of my favourite beats.
I love this video You went way deeper than I ever could & clearly have a deep intuitive appreciation for doom I'm going to come back to this as I could not take it all in Really really great top tier video man & DOOM=🐐🐐🐐
I've never really been able to enjoy or appreciate rap as a musical genre, and I never listen to it of my own volition, but I have to say thank you for making this video. The first I ever heard of MF DOOM was of his passing, so thank you for making this topic more digestible and approachable.
You're missing a lot. From an avid Classical, Jazz, Bluegrass, Prog rock, Alt rock, etc listener. You need to integrate some hip hop into your life. It's exhilarating discovering new music. There are some genius level artists out there, unfortunately the genre has been commercialized, and that's a shame.
That mask means so much to so many people. DOOM is the only rapper who can walk on stage in a metal mask, a throwback Knicks jersey, and some baggy cargo pants but still shroud the entire venue in an aura that oozes creativity and villainy
My favorite artist of all time I’ve had his mask tattooed on my left arm for nearly 13 years he was a truly free thinker and a pioneer in every single way it hurts most knowing another artist like this will never come around again. he was truly one of a kind. But at least he can be with his child now
Excellent & interesting. Sums up pretty much how I been feeling about him since KMD - Mr. Hood album. From the songs, to the videos, & lyrical content. That was my intro to Zev Love X aka MF DOOM, way back in the day. Or just as they was featured on 3rd Bass albums. Then Mr. Hood came, one of my favorite albums of all time. Playful, insightful, thought provoking, & humorous wit. Truly appreciated the artistic diversity hip hop had since the '90s & just prior. Hip hop was so dope before "the machine/powers that be" wanted to push so called gangster rap to the brink. Operation dumb down & numb the populus began. Now, its a time & place for everything but that was pushed to stamp out prior uplifting movements thru the arts. One could find such food for thoughts. It still exist but its far in between & sometimes revealed thru word of mouth. Thanks for sharing & Rest In Power: MF DOOM, his son, his brother Sub Roc, & a multitude of others. For anyone else in desire for such: stay healthy, live strong, protect your own, & grow...
Always loved how he would work words around his tongue and then paint a tonal mood with how he had just molded them to sound more cool, casual and interwoven, into a stream-of-melodic-consciousness. The way he used his voice, he was a tonal sculpturer, merging words in his mouth into one unity before releasing a verse, like kneading pieces of clay together into one and forming that to coherence on a plate in one spinning movement. And it always sounded spontaneous like he just went with whatever pieces of phonemes his subconscious threw up at him at that very moment. "Scared of a bunch of water then get out the rain, order a rapper for lunch and spit out the chain." Sublime.
Dammmn, nehruviandoom has been sitting in my bootleg library for like over a decade. No context what it was or who it was from just know it was awesome so I kept it. thanks for solving this mystery from the history, now building an MF DOOM folder so thanks.
I remember hearing the Spider-Man samples and getting a rush of nostalgia. In my opinion DOOM was the wittiest and most influential artist in the underground hip hop scene.
I remember the first time I've listened to DOOM. Gorillaz showed me how rap IS a essential form of expression in music. I've always thought, real music is guitar and bands e.t.c. MF DOOM changed the way i perceive and consume music. I'll thank him for that
A year ago I was a man, now I am a lesbian. Your video about MF DOOM was a pivotal moment in my finding that out about myself. Thank you. 'Whoever ain't get it ain't supposed to'
I’ve been thinking about this video for a couple of hours now, I was already an MF DOOM fan but this has me revisiting him more than ever. I really appreciate you putting this together, I can’t think of a better wait to tribute him. Sleep easy, DOOM.
My stepdad had talked to me a lot about how he had passed away, and just this morning a shirt he ordered from his store had arrived, the store that you can now no longer buy from now by the way. I haven't actually seen the design yet, but it put a massive impression on me of how sudden his death was, because he ordered that shirt before he died, and had no idea that any of this would have happened.
Honestly, whenever I kept hearing people talk about this guy they were so vague that I thought he was a Doom Mod that wasn't available for download anymore. Now i'm kinda sad that I never knew his music up until now (I don't really listen to rap/hip hop outside of a few choice songs) but i'm definitely interested in checking out his albums now since you seem to hold him in high regard and the songs seem like they'd gel with my tastes perfectly.
That was by far the best DOOM tribute video I've come across, I'm a huge fan and find myself constantly trying to decipher his lyrics in which you've helped. Waking up to the New year after a terrible prior year but spending just hours before the best ever New years eve playing basketball and watching the fireworks with my son was such an emotional roller-coaster. Two trails of rust coming from out of the eye holes. Crying like a grown man, promise to make rappers snatch mic's out of they own hands. Exactly how you taught us, we'll take it from here. Look how far you've brought us. DOOM. - Lupe Fiasco.
I can remember last new years, got news that my little cousin died. No tears. This newyears I heard DOOMA died and my dad asked me why I was teary eyed, but I cant explain. My dad listens to classic rock and country. Feels bad that I felt more from a musician, but thats how it is I guess.
Brother. This was needed. Even just knowing who Doom is gives the people in my life a +2 to charisma rolls when interacting with me. Bless his souls in the halls with whatever God he rolls.
I just love watching the music vids, seeing that surprisingly well crafted Mask makes me feel out & makes the music vids no matter how simple or weird it is, great
Shocked that I was the only one in my family who knew him. But I’m also happy that he wasn’t completely obscure. I think it’s good that people knew his name, it’s just depressing it took his death to finally get me talking about him more
Madvillainy was my introduction to DOOM, and I never memorized a song's lyrics as quickly as Accordion lmao and it was not even intentional Of course I adore DOOM as a rapper, but his production work is especially near and dear to my heart. When I first started dabbling in making old school hip hop beats, his work was my primary inspiration. I would make beats just to imagine how he'd spit to it, and seven years later I'm still inspired whenever I listen to the Special Herbs series. Fck man, I still get so sad whenever I remember he's gone :( the only other musician death in my life to hit me this hard was Joey Jordison. wtf is this decade :( if Brian Wilson passes away too I'm gonna cry like a little kid
All this time there were hardcore MF DOOM fans hiding in plain sight. I seriously love his music. Somehow I never met anyone in real life outside of my old high school friends from back in the day that listen to the villain
I did not expect this video from you but I am happy you made this! Seems like we share not only the same taste in video games but also in hip hop. That's very neat!
DOOM's songs were always hit or miss for me, i loved half of them and didnt care for the other half. But regardless of wether or not i like it you could always hear the craftmanship, he took rapping as an art to another level.
I remember you had some DOOM beats on one of your previous videos. It might’ve been a reason i subscribed. Rip MF DOOM, your favorite rappers favorite rapper
"As i grew more and more familiar with DOOM's music, after discovering him, it was like I was starting to understand this incredibly intentionally mysterious person. And it was so gratifying. This might sound sad, but it was like I was making a new friend through his music." This hits so hard. I’m still busted up bad about DOOM’s passing. Way worse than any celebrity death I can remember. I feel loss on a personal level.
The way he spoke to the audience like we were a friend is what made his death personally impactful. Most celebrity deaths are felt throughout a community but DOOM'S was felt on a person by person basis. I grew up being a comic book nerd in a ghetto, so to me it was like listening to a friend who could describe how weird I felt. Rest in power to the illest villain to ever touch the mic, MF DOOM
Get the bread. Even if you gotta lay down on the ground and play dead. What would be more villainous than faking your own death? I'll believe hes dead when they give us a death certificate...
Cool gush video. What a great way to honor his legacy and the time you spent with his stuff. Lost me a little bit with that strange humble brag of "biggest DOOM fan i've ever met or even heard about." Definitely lost me a little bit there. But still, a great way to showcase some of what makes him great.

I only discovered DOOM’s music a week or 2 before he was announced dead. This is helping me actually gonna help me get into his stuff more thanks lead
If you only just started listening, I have a few songs to reccomend to you. Lickupon, Meathead, Raid, Fancy Clown, GAZILLION EAR, Fazers, Gas Drawls, Curls, Figaro, and THATS THAT. These are some of my personal favorites and some of them are a little lesser known. I hope this helped you
Same
This is my first time hearing of him other then discord calls Didn’t realize he’s dead until watching this
Yeah it was the same to me as well, so to long time fans, I’m kinda a fake fan which sucks
I’m in the exact same situation. Just learned about his music a week or 2 before he was announced dead.
“It’s impossible to be in a bad mood when listening to his music” this is literally word for word what I said to my sister when mourning his death. At first I tried not to listen to him cuz I felt like it was too soon, which proved to be impossible cuz I can’t go a single day turning on at least one DOOM song but when I finally started playing it again, even tho it’s retroactively sadder it was hard to listen and be too depressed.

literally how i feel right now, this video hit the head on the nail about DOOM i applaud you sir
@Gears of Cognition So...he was Hitler.
I am sure that this video will be used one day to celebrate doomsday...the day he passed away

This and Stan Lee for me
kobes passing hurt bad too

Doom legit calls him self a super villain while everyone that met him say how nice and kind he actually is in real life
GET TF OUTTTTA MY WAAAYYY- MF DOOM
being a supervillain was just a side gig for him i guess
YES! Thank you! After DOOM passed away many people have talked about his rhyme schemes and his nerdy references etc
But almost no one gives him enough credit for his INCREDIBLY clever wordplay and the dense layers upon layers of meanings that almost every single line of almost every song has.
“I’m the one known for giving really heavy back aches, grown but still living off little Debby snack cakes”
I relate to this more than I am comfortable with. Those lil Debbie snacks are the shit
This was one of the better vidss I've seen about DOOM. It wasn't about breaking down his music, it was about just appreciating what his music was.

The irony is palpable. It's just as layered as his lyrics were. He was the best lyricist ever.
He hit peak esoteric relevance
RIP MF DOOM, THE GOAT, THE truest artist ever, THE realest B-Boy, DOOM was my only hero as well
One of the most intelligent and talented to ever do it.
"It's like I was making a new friend through his music" is definitely how I feel when I really start to understand an artist and why they do their work and it makes me love the art even more. I'm so glad I found this channel I feel like I relate so much to what you're saying in your videos and I really appreciate you saying it.
Something I felt you missed and brushed over a bit was that DOOM can have some heavy meaning in his songs sometimes, like in ? on Operation Doomsday that second verse about his brother just hits so hard…
He had the power to play a hole movie into your head with just music, and to drag yours thoughts to reflect and feel involved
Well point David that made me think 👍
Finally someone who doesn’t instantly say “start with mad villainy”
I think the biggest reason MF DOOM'S rhyme schemes are so satisfying is they're like psychedelic quasicrystal patterns, patterns that have such a theme but don't repeat like fractal patterns, It's this dense quasicrystal rhyme schemes that leaves you even as a long time fan discovering more complexity in each bar even after hundreads of listens.

Listening to MF DOOM feels like watching Saturday morning cartoons. You just melt away and enjoy the moment.
Great video man! thanks for sharing!
As a rapper, he's definitely been a benchmark for me all the way. I definitely agree with your sentiments here.
Discovered him my freshman year and he got me through it all, man’s a legend.
Now here I am a sophomore, replaying his tracks daily lol

I discovered his music in late October, I listened to him for half a month and after that wanted another album, and didn’t know he was dead :(
My stepdad had talked to me a lot about how he had passed away, and just this morning a shirt he ordered from his store had arrived, the store that you can now no longer buy from now by the way. I haven't actually seen the design yet, but it put a massive impression on me of how sudden his death was, because he ordered that shirt before he died, and had no idea that any of this would have happened.
We didn’t lose a hero we lost the illest villain of them all
My three favourite things combined; leadhead, MF DOOM, and analysing music
Honestly, whenever I kept hearing people talk about this guy they were so vague that I thought he was a Doom Mod that wasn't available for download anymore. Now i'm kinda sad that I never knew his music up until now (I don't really listen to rap/hip hop outside of a few choice songs) but i'm definitely interested in checking out his albums now since you seem to hold him in high regard and the songs seem like they'd gel with my tastes perfectly.
Thanks for making this video it means a lot
Now i want more music related videos from Leadhead! In particular one about Radiohead!
That was by far the best DOOM tribute video I've come across, I'm a huge fan and find myself constantly trying to decipher his lyrics in which you've helped.
Waking up to the New year after a terrible prior year but spending just hours before the best ever New years eve playing basketball and watching the fireworks with my son was such an emotional roller-coaster.
Two trails of rust coming from out of the eye holes.
Crying like a grown man, promise to make rappers snatch mic's out of they own hands.
Exactly how you taught us, we'll take it from here.
Look how far you've brought us.
DOOM.

You've managed to express exactly how I feel about MF DOOM. Very well done.
Didn’t expect this content from you, would love to see more varied medium analysis from you.
MF DOOM manages to be extremely class conscious through his character being inherently against the music industry as well.
my older cousin showed me doom when i was 13 and instantly loved him, been lisening for years and i wont stop anytime soon
I can remember last new years, got news that my little cousin died. No tears. This newyears I heard DOOMA died and my dad asked me why I was teary eyed, but I cant explain. My dad listens to classic rock and country. Feels bad that I felt more from a musician, but thats how it is I guess.
I kbow what you mean, DOOM subconsciously connects
What an incredibly moving and personal video. I will definetly listen to more Doom now. Thx for sharing
Brother. This was needed. Even just knowing who Doom is gives the people in my life a +2 to charisma rolls when interacting with me. Bless his souls in the halls with whatever God he rolls.
fantastic video, and a fantastic tribute to the VILLAIN. whenever anyone asks me what makes DOOM so unique, I'll point them here :)
I just love watching the music vids, seeing that surprisingly well crafted Mask makes me feel out & makes the music vids no matter how simple or weird it is, great
Shocked that I was the only one in my family who knew him. But I’m also happy that he wasn’t completely obscure. I think it’s good that people knew his name, it’s just depressing it took his death to finally get me talking about him more
You just helped me discover something beautiful
Bro listening to DOOM high is a damn spiritual experience
Brobee, I already thought he was the goat, but you just broke it down even further. Thanks for this. I appreciate your appreciation.
Madvillainy was my introduction to DOOM, and I never memorized a song's lyrics as quickly as Accordion lmao and it was not even intentional
Of course I adore DOOM as a rapper, but his production work is especially near and dear to my heart. When I first started dabbling in making old school hip hop beats, his work was my primary inspiration. I would make beats just to imagine how he'd spit to it, and seven years later I'm still inspired whenever I listen to the Special Herbs series.
Fck man, I still get so sad whenever I remember he's gone :( the only other musician death in my life to hit me this hard was Joey Jordison. wtf is this decade :( if Brian Wilson passes away too I'm gonna cry like a little kid
Great effin job here brother. I waited a long time to watch this. MF DOOM FOREVER
DOOM's music is amazing in that it's super dense and thought provoking without being so heavy-going it brings you down.
All this time there were hardcore MF DOOM fans hiding in plain sight. I seriously love his music. Somehow I never met anyone in real life outside of my old high school friends from back in the day that listen to the villain
Clicked thinking the video was about the Game series, stayed for the music recommendation. I'm glad I did. Thanks for the video!
Mm food is probably my all time favorite album
I did not expect this video from you but I am happy you made this! Seems like we share not only the same taste in video games but also in hip hop. That's very neat!
This is perfect timing, I've just started listening to DOOM last week and you just made a video about him, cool!
Excellent video, the perfect tribute to doom. My favorite video of yours yet, I always appreciate another fan of soom
Ive always found your videos comforting, this one was my youtube clousure for Doom - love the video man.
DOOM's songs were always hit or miss for me, i loved half of them and didnt care for the other half. But regardless of wether or not i like it you could always hear the craftmanship, he took rapping as an art to another level.
I remember you had some DOOM beats on one of your previous videos. It might’ve been a reason i subscribed. Rip MF DOOM, your favorite rappers favorite rapper
"As i grew more and more familiar with DOOM's music, after discovering him, it was like I was starting to understand this incredibly intentionally mysterious person. And it was so gratifying. This might sound sad, but it was like I was making a new friend through his music."
This hits so hard. I’m still busted up bad about DOOM’s passing. Way worse than any celebrity death I can remember. I feel loss on a personal level.
The way he spoke to the audience like we were a friend is what made his death personally impactful. Most celebrity deaths are felt throughout a community but DOOM'S was felt on a person by person basis. I grew up being a comic book nerd in a ghetto, so to me it was like listening to a friend who could describe how weird I felt. Rest in power to the illest villain to ever touch the mic, MF DOOM
Get the bread.
Even if you gotta lay down on the ground and play dead.
What would be more villainous than faking your own death? I'll believe hes dead when they give us a death certificate...
Cool gush video. What a great way to honor his legacy and the time you spent with his stuff. Lost me a little bit with that strange humble brag of "biggest DOOM fan i've ever met or even heard about." Definitely lost me a little bit there. But still, a great way to showcase some of what makes him great.
This was amazing bro was looking for soemthing specifically on Kookies as I knew I was missing something even while getting 2-3 layers of metaphor
Doom had a big influence on Earl Sweatshirt's flow especially Earl's early stuff
