Reclusive Rapper Doom Talks New LP גBorn Like This.ג and Responds to Fan Rage

3/23/09, 5:27 pm EST

American underground rap iconoclast Doom (formerly MF Doom) releases his new album Born Like This. on Lex Records tomorrow, March 24th. The U.K.-born, New York-raised rapperגs LP features contributions from Ghostface Killah, Raekwon and the beats of late production genius J Dilla, and represents seven years of work recorded on and off at home in Atlanta. Thom Yorke recently remixed sexy single גGazillion Earג and funky, Jake One-produced גBallskinג is bouncing across the major music blogs. The centerpiece of the record is גCellzג, which explodes with apocalyptic fury. On it, the late, great American poet Charles Bukowski reads of one of his best poems, גDinosauria, We,ג for almost two minutes while missiles fire and the Earth is laid to waste.

גDonגt freak with old Buke. Buke is nice. Heגs as good as the rest of the rappers on there,ג Doom says. גHe kind of sets the tone for the record, being that weגre living in what he was kind of describing. He mightגve been reaching for the worst description based on what he saw us heading to, but it happened and that made me go, גWow, thatגs ill. Kinda prophetic words.ג ג

With a career modeled on the Marvel comics arch-villain Doctor Doom, the metal mask-wearing fortysomething remains characteristically cryptic about future live dates. גI tell you one thing: when you come to a Doom show, come expecting to hear music, donגt come expecting to see. You never know who you might see. It has nothing to do with a visual thing. Use your mind and think. I might be there. Next time I do a show, I might tell everybody to close they eyes. Use your own mindגs eye. Thatגs better than a camera phone, know what Iגm sayinג?ג ג

He says Michael Jackson ג who just sold out 50 shows in the U.K. ג might be doing the same thing. גWord. That nigga was crazy as hell. How do you even know heגs still him? He mightגve been doing the technique.ג

The Doom live experience caused controversy in 2007, when the highly acclaimed lyricist behind Madvillainy and The Mouse and the Mask allegedly sent an impostor to perform several of his dates in Los Angeles and San Francisco. Furious crowds booed and took their rage to the Internet, reporting that the impostor lip-synced to MF Doomגs songs. Self-proclaimed super-villain Doom posted no response to his fanגs rage until now, when he tells Rolling Stone that he couldnגt care less.

גEverything that we do is villain style,ג Doom says. גEverybody has the right to get it or not get it. Once I throw it out, itגs there for interpretation. It mightגve seemed like it didnגt go well, but how do we know that wasnגt just pre-orchestrated so that weגre talking about it now? I tell you one thing: People are asking more now for live shows and Iגm charging more, so it mustגve worked somewhere.ג

Such weirdness is par for the course for the erratic artist, born Daniel Dumile. In the late ג80s, Dumile signed to major label Elektra with his sibling. But his brother was killed in a car accident, Elektra dropped him, and Dumile vanished.

In the late ג90s, a metal-faced rapper spitting inimitable flow on debut underground LP Operation: Doomsday materialized named MF Doom. More than a dozen LPs and two dozen EPs later, Born Like This. is highly anticipated hip-hop eclecticism; a follow-up to 2004גs widely lauded Madvilliany with producer Madlib and 2005גs The Mouse and the Mask with platinum producer Danger Mouse. Those hits cracked the Billboard 200 ג commercially and critically validating Dumileגs brutal, funny, literate, street style.

Lasering in on Armageddon on his new disc puts Doom smack in the middle of a morbid trend, with the Dow melting away, Watchmen blowing up the box office and the globe warming. But the ending of גDinosauria, Weג also posits a beautiful new beginning, begging the question: is the apocalypse actually cleansing?

גNo doubt,ג says the father and admitted McCain voter. גIf something ends, then somethingגs gonna start. So itגs like, what side are you on? Do you feel like your world is ending? Or do you feel like, גWow, it seems like thatגs ending and itגs the start of something new.גג

Born Like This. is about the next chapter, he says and more is coming. גI got a hundred albums in me. Iגm gonna rock this shit forever.ג

no shit. even if it wasn't as cohesive as Doomsday or Madvillainy, its still better than most of what's come out in 2009, and it will continue to be.

is crazy about them concerts, though. What a zagnut

but you gotta love it.

this shit is what hip hop is about. fuck with it, might as well. better than everything most other people are doing, straight up and down

I posted this in the video thread, but I think it belongs in here too since it's directly related:
