Just curious what the mass appeal is about doom, i haven't listened to a whole lot from him aside from gas drawls and a couple other tracks off of operation doomsday, but for some reason i guess his shit just hasn't gotten my attention like it does most of you. So what is it exactly that i should check out from him? Is doomsday his best offering or is there some other stuff to check out? Any suggestions would be much appreciated

viktor vaughn - vaudeville villain

yes, but definitely check out king geedorah. vik vaughn is dope too. also see if you can download the madvillain bootleg. that shit is fire.

I guess the appeal for a lot of heads is the fact that KMD were so good. Then he made a comeback which, rather than being some wack shit which is too often the case, was actually better (OK, equally dope).

His diversity in his projects is good too - like Kool Keith with quality control. I like the fact that he's working with other producers now. Vik Vaughn was so sick.

To those who replied, thanks for the feedback, I'll probably pick up Vaudeville villain. Anyone know where i could get Madvillain or is it a pretty tough find?

has it been released yet?

I recently listened to Black Bastards.

Nobody on here sounds like DOOM now.

Im confused. Did he just totally change his voice?

a lot of doom stuff surpasses black bastards...but nothing he does now touches mr hood...that shit is amazing

oh and madvillian was a joke...not even worth downloading

The only 'Doom thing as good as "black bastards"
which is better than "mr hood"
is "operation doomsday"

And that's the only dope 'Doom album
everything else is trash aside from a few songs on M.I.C and King Gheedorah
"operation doomsday" is THAT shit tho'.

He got old and fat. It's still easy to tell it's him though, in my opinion.

how old is he now?

wait...so Madvillian and MM Food was wack????? :shock:

^Start a fresh new hip-hop group of the heiruspecs calibre and call it "Lurkstaar".

mm food is somewhere in btwn wack and classic


madvillian defines the phrase 'download it dood'

Not sure if this is really the right forum but...

One of the things I dig about Doom's work is the sense that he really enjoys what he's doing. It's like he just can't help but make music, he just wants to get that shit onto wax, fuck if it sounds polished or professional. If you listen to his beats, particularly the drums, it's like he's playing the sampler, rather than programming it, getting everything lined up perfect. Everything he does has a love of everything that's good about hip hop running through it. His music heavily references the 'golden age', but doesn't sound stuck there. His everyman approach makes him easy to identify with.

And on the voice change, it's not that different between Black Bastards and a lot of the Doomsday tracks, but there's a big difference between Gas Face/Mr Hood, when he sounded a little like Trugoy did at the time, and Madvillain, where his voice is really deep and rough. I do think it's a least a little bit affected, though. I bet he doesn't talk that differently off wax now.
