When it comes to MF DOOM there’s really no shortage of mysteries and unanswered questions, with DOOM this enigma it’s almost surprising that there exists an artist within his own universe who’s even MORE mysterious than DOOM himself, that person, of course, being Mr Fantastik. Very little is known about this buttery voice MC and there are many people who are theorized to be him but is there any truth to these claims and should we even want to know the truth?

Awe looks like I missed your stream man. I’m a new sub. Your videos are great man! You got skills in the editing dept. too. Cheers homie… I’ll try to shoot you some dough on Patreon homie.
And I'm back. At the end of the world if you had to ask God one question what is it and why is it Who is Mr. Fantastik?
u know u could have just said u didnt know who mr.fantastik was
Mr fantastik is probably just one of DOOMS friends who wanted to spit some bars tbh
agreed
absurd existence said that in a video lmao
no matta how hard they try they cant stop us nowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
@@user-iv4fs2ch2u Before you get flamed by other commenters, I want to say you commented this before the video premiered.
@@victormurillo6956 There's a bunch of top tier rappers fr9m that generation that just didn't get put on because of lack of opportunity/accessibility amongst other things.
Mr Fantastik just being some random dude DOOM knew is actually sick
I wonder if DOOM knew anyone in the Paper Platoon.
Gotta put your people on
Seems like something he’d do, and would make sense why the persona didn’t show up ever again anywhere else (if it was someone that did music and identified that name… I mean it’s been SO LONG since then you’d think if it was someone in the music industry already it would’ve come up in and interview or something by now
he's really talented for someone who only ever rapped on a few songs.
i think thats what makes it the most cool for me. while, obviously he had separate skill to be able to keep up with DOOM, it makes it seem like DOOM's aura is enough to turn normal people into rap-comic book villains.
In an interview when someone asked DOOM who the girl singing on Doomsday was, he said it was just some random girl his friend knew who could sing. So it wouldn't surprise me if it was a similar story with someone like Mr Fantastik
sade
@@vaudevilleem889 The Sade portion is a sample from Kiss of Life, the vocal line on the hook on Doomsday is performed by "Pebbles the Invisible Girl" whose identity is unknown
@@Brian-rp7dj DOOM is crazy lol, who the else has his fanbase eating out the palm of their hand like DOOM does?
@@mawandemdutywa2571 You are spot on bro, DOOM's style was so unique he brought new fans into hip hop. In my opinion the best MC ever.
@@Brian-rp7dj easily too. There'll never be anything like DOOM anywhere else in music ever, I believe. Ideas so unique and original that I struggle sometimes to comprehend them. When listening to his music, I find myself smiling like an idiot and sometimes laughing so joyfully that I completely forget myself! Who the f*CK is this guy? What was he thinking when wrote this? And his production is so perfect too, that when listening to a DOOM album, one might as well be watching an animated Fantastic 4 - Hip Hop crossover movie! Operation Doomsday? Still my favourite album ever, the skits on there are my favourite of all time! They actually enhance the experience and the narrative. OD is unmatched, not even by Madvillainy, and that album is perfect. DOOM's only competition is himself really. Mind boggling what he does that I believe he is underrated - as beloved and adored as he by those who know. RIP to The Supervillain, he will be missed.
What if the real Mr. Fantastik are the friends we made along
That shit would be corny
@@nassiemartinez4399 and kinda funny
god teir comment
Friends, how many of us have them?
Friends, ones we can depend on!
Wow I never thought about it this way
“Who tf is Mr. Fantastic??” “Pure Math” “Then who tf is Pure Math???” “Mr. Fantastic!”
Fantastik*
I mean that answer is good enough for me tbh
DOOM is the epitome of "Nobody cared who I was until I put on the mask"
Thats it. You summed it up in a sentence. No one cares for the one seeking attention but the man that tries to slide by undetected...we are now interested...whats up?
DOOM fans and baneposters probably have a lot of overlap
funniest thing is another batman villain in the 2022 movie (the Riddler, specifically) says something pretty similar lols
that’s whack lol, no love for zev love x?
"I first met Mr. Fantastik at a arms deal, don't let it get drastic
Think of how ya moms'll feel"
ayyy i posted this line as well before i saw yours.
Hes got twin Glocks that's made out of plastic
@@TonyFleetwood twin glocks
Well i guess i won’t post this now
i just posted this. why didnt he mention it though? its key evidence but i guess it should just stop there
The only thing I'd ever want from Mr fantastik is another track
For real tho. His flow fit with DOOM better than any other feature DOOM had imo.
@@Madvillainy48 that’s why I always felt like he was just a dude who could spit that was friends with DOOM but didn’t want any limelight. The chemistry between them was insane.
@@Madvillainy48 antimatter is still my top mfdoom track facts.
AMEN TO THAT
@@thecasual4698 I thought I was probably one of the only people who felt this way. Love that track.
Mr. Fantastik: haha let me rap with my friend on this song
DOOM fans: WHO ARE YOU⁉️
lol it probably really is as simple as that. Just one of DOOM's random friends.
They say that with the little bullshit voice like in the songs with the high pitched sound like “DOOM!”
the funny thing is that Mr. Fantastik laid one of the illest verses and hooks in rap history on rap snitches, and his parts on antimatter were incredible as well. one of the dopest MC's all of time and we'll never know who he is
Mr Fantastik really hit the studio twice, spat absolute steaming magma and dipped
"Do you see the perpetrator? Yeah, I'm right here"
Lol
🤣
Man this fucking line always kills me, it never fails
fuck around get the whole label send them for years
Rap snitches tellin on their business
"it's pure mathematics, the mighty mos def"
What are we talking about here?
1 universal law 2 sides to every story 3 strikes and you be in for life! Mandatory! 4 MC’s murdered in the last 5 years I ain’t tryna be the fifth one the millennium is here!

@@mandude4x6 CHOOSE ONE
On the special herbs pt. 1 and 2 reissue from 2014, the track Nettle Leaves gets credited as being ""from the spice racks of" Mr. Fantastik. I'm assuming that Mr. Fantastik provided the sample for the beat.
That’s the “Who you think I am” beat, which features Rodan 😅
They always ask who is Mr. Fantastik, never how is Mr. Fantastik
Imagine if this whole time Mr. Fantastik was just MF DOOM with different vocal effects
That would take a lot of math to do (;
That’s one of the theories. Could be.
That's what I thought
Def not
He said: “It gets dark and...it ain’t no talkin’.”
This video was put together extremely well to say the least. I really love how you in a sense do give his identity, yet also give great credibility as to why it shouldn’t matter at all. Especially with DOOM getting to live his life normally while he could, while being as famous as he was even if he was still underground. Also that last clip with the $B interview was perfect. All musicians/artists are really just some people out there trying to do them and not have their every move watched and judged.
people like you are why I strive to make my content as good as possible. Thank you for the thoughtful comment.
This situation has become convoluted. No one cares about mr fantastiks “true identity” or want to track him down, they just want to know his name so they can see if he’s got any more music out there under a different name.
This how I feel about trunks. I just wanna hear more amazing raps.
I've accepted in my heart that it's Del the Funky Homosapien and can't bothered to believe otherwise
@@PiPArtemis doesnt even sound like del, as a huge del fan
@@PiPArtemis its not
Agreed, I don't care if we ever get his true identity I just want to listen to anymore music he's made. I know there's always those people that want to know too much about these artists but I think the majority just want more music.
Absurd BOB
Mr Fantastik is a cat that just hopped on a track and has some impeccable rhymes. I love the mystery and love that fact.
Ghost Trick moment
"I first met Mr Fantastik at a arms deal, don't let it get drastic think of how ya moms would feel" - DOOM
doom always features these random ass guys and you just know they're his friends. yet another reason why he's the goat. i guess mr. fantastik was just the best
All caps when you spell his name!!! DOOM
I honestly kinda like anticlimactic answers like this. I always kinda thought it's wack when people always gotta speculate 'oh, who is x character's parents' in any show or comic we all like. I just think 'can't they just be their own separate person, and have their own unconnected parents?'. And I think that applies here with Mr. Fantastik. He doesn't have to be RZA, or Jay Z, or Rodan, he's just some dude. Some dude with a sick flow and chill voice. The only thing I'd say I want from him is some more songs. He was damn good from what we heard, and it's kinda a shame that talent is gonna go out like a flash in a pan. But if that's not what he wants to do, he's got every right, and probably every reason, not to.
On the broader topic of privacy and what the DOOM mask meant, I personally was really opposed to seeing Daniel's face for the first time, and to a degree I still am. To me, the mask *was* DOOM's face, and it still is. Daniel could be Daniel. Or Viktor Vaughn. Or King Geedorah. Or Zev Love X. Or whoever the hell he wanted to be, and that was Daniel. I think he put it a little harshly, but yeah, at the end of the day, people look to DOOM for the music, and that separation from the mic and the rest of his life was an entirely understandable move from his perspective.
Thank you for mentioning the “character’s parents” thing because you just summed up exactly why I prefer Last Jedi’s “Rey’s parents were nobody” answer.
Everything else you said about privacy and DOOM was completely on point
DOOM said he met him at an arms deal on “DEEP FRIED FRENZ”
imagine if he made up "pure math" just to fuck with us.
bro i just imagine mister fantastik to simply chilling and working a 9-5
“First met Mr Fantastik at an arms sale, don’t let it get drastic think of how ya moms will feel.”
Will someone finally tell us all his business?
Why’d you have Omni man narrate the Reddit thread😂
MF DOOM passing on the knowledge of who is Mr. Fantastik to Omni man and him only... sounds fitting.
I'd go crazy if he dropped a few bars today... That's honestly all I wanted more music from him, respect to him for keeping a low profile like that
I appreciate your perspective on this and how you left it. And thanks for another well researched vid!
I'd rather keep it a mystery, it's a part of the fun. Just like DOOM, we should respect their privacies and have fun with not knowing.
It makes sense that Mr fantastik is just some dude DOOM grew up with, think about who DOOM's character is based on Dr DOOM and who was Mr fantastic to Dr DOOM someone Dr DOOM met before either of them became Mr fantastic or Dr DOOM it fits perfectly with his entire persona I wouldn't be surprised if they went to school together just like their comic book counterparts who met in university
Its too bad he never released an album of his own, he would‘ve definitely be goated
Yo ive been watching your videos for a minute now and just wanna say quality on these are insane. The attention to detail goes a long way. Keep it up homie.
That’s for the amazing video man. I always get so excited when I see a new one from you
Lol. The "pure mathematics" thing was so obvious but nobody saw it.
In-depth and interesting content. Thanks dude 👊🏻
They found him!
MY MAN HAS LITERALLY JUST BEEN CHILLIN IN BORA BORA
There's no way it has been found out...
“I first met Mr. Fantastik at a arms deal” - MF DOOM
Mr Fantastic is one of those great Mcs from the neighbourhood who never signed but were as good as anyone. Like J treas or that dude from Never faded by Lords of the underground. I wonder how many of these great unsigned mcs there are.
These videos are Worth the wait
this is crazy. Fantastik’s features are some of my absolute favorites. i feel stupid for not looking into him more. i always thought he kinda sounded like Del, i just can’t imagine it’s him though.
Using the simpsons rap snitch knishes was a great choice. A+
another great video man, always enjoy ur vids :)
His flow and cadence is mesmerizing. Definitely want to hear at least once LP or mixtape.
I wish people cared this hard about who Trunks was. This has tormented for too long
Trunks ain't a rapper hes a monster from the future. I've his Unicron EP on my channel if you need it
@@RustyShacklefordIrishHipHop lol go watch the videos I’m in every comment section. I actually heard of Trunks before DOOM. The unicorn ep is what put me on to DOOM.
i dont think people want to find out his personal info, i think most people just want to find other music of his
after watching some of ur videos, i subscribed. thank you!
Great vid. Greater message. Thank you sir.
he grew up in the hood with DOOM and used to go by Pure Mathematics, just never had a solo career. check the lyrics on anti-matter, one of his bars ends with "used to call me Pure Math"
I think it's very poetic that DOOM's adversary, Mr Fantastik, would have a secret identity. It's like the DOOM bots, and honestly, I love how on theme it is for DOOM.
Keep uploading bro, got notifications on 💪🏻
I don’t think I’d ever like to find out, the truth is always more underwhelming than a mystery
His real name is reed richards clearly
I remember hearing the original "Hey" and "Dead Bent" single. Got no idea how my roommate got a hold of it. That was around '97 so it makes sense he was working on the project as early as '95.
I just love the edit
I always just assumed Mr. Fantastik was a friend from around the way who wanted to get on a track with DOOM, like a lot of guest MCs back in the day
And what if Mr Fantastik is actually just Mr Fantastik... from Euphon. I think its pretty clear at least that the Mr Fantastik on MF Dooms albums has had his pitch altered alright. If you mess with the pitch on some Euphon songs you can definitely see similarities in some of the songs. Not sayings its definitely this dude, but certainly worth taking a look at.
MF DOOM*
Such good content ❤️ Much love
love your channel
I thought he was one of the members of Euphon with some other guy. He certainly sounds like him and he goes by the same name in the spotify bio.
Good work using that Gran Turismo joint. Long live DOOM.
I just seen ur video about mr fantastik like yesterday and i went to look him up on spotify
hes there
Amazing video!!!! You just earned a new subscriber
I really hope pure math puts out an album cause his music's fire
we can only hope
I love that in a villains world we know all about the villain but nothing about the hero and I'm all for that, makes DOOMs universe better
I love how you included Pink Guy, Cole, and the boy$ in the vid. That's not even on subject and I'm still like "hey, that's cool". Your vids are fire
I'm so glad this popped up on my recommended
the answer was in our ears the whole time
That makes sense. He was just a local guy who knew Doom. He was a great lyricist, and that is all I need to know. RIP Doom❤️
For anyone who would like to know the music at 0:32 is a remix of rap snitches knishes made of Homer screams
gotten you on my recommended on both of my accounts (and subbed on both) how tf have you not blown up
I'm dying to hear someone talking in depth about Louis Logic, caught me off guard hearing his name
Lou just spit a verse on a track with Stresslebee check it out. I’m glad he’s rappin again, he’s always been one of my favorite emcees
Mr fantastik has such a good rapping voice it’s so sick
I kinda feel like it's czarface sense they kinda sound alike and I feel like he was talking about NY sense he is a villain and so as MF DOOM and this would also make czarface have an alter ego......
Bruh this is dope. Thank you!
definetly not 50, rza does sound alike but has a lighter voice and doesnt sing like that, and he sounded different especially back in 04, i honestly dont think its a popular person
I thought you were actually gonna connect him to the message by nas somehow 😂 but I agree he deserves privacy
omg what is that version of rapp snitches you threw in there. The polyphonic street fighter 2 sounding sht? so fire must listen
When I heard the song the first few times, I thought "This Mr. Fantastik guy must be some well-known artist in the rap scene, he sounds super confident", then I started searching and was left confused. I honestly love the secrecy of it all, I think it really matches with the nature of underground hip-hop
bruh the last part just went on a other direction
Everyone asks who is Mr. Fantastik, nobody asks how is Mr. Fantastik
Am I alone in that riff from Potholderz made me stop, and kick the track on before coming back to the vid here? lol just love how you hear a piece of a track from this man's catalogue and get the instant need for it like you never had it before.
It happens that I've listened to the man's music once and here are I, seeing this well-put and edited video about Mr. Fantastik
Ive always thought he was RZA because he sounds similar and the beat n chorus on anti matter came from you cant stop me now by RZA
Rza has a pretty distinct accent/touch of speech impediment? I feel it would be absolutely clear if it was rza.
@@MeatyOchre yeah RZA slurs certain words, it would be hard for him to mask that and disguise his voice in a way people don’t recognize
The best part of the whole thing is the mystery. If you knew the answer, would you reveal it? I certainly wouldn’t. 😉 #rapsnitches
Slides video into my feed about Mr Fantastik's identity, patronizes about wanting to know who Mr Fantastik
8:52 The music hit me like a truck and made so happy also amazing video
"Go with the flow" was released in 1997 on a 12" before it was on Operation Doomsday. I remember being dissapointed with the album because half of the songs on that album were released on 12 inches years before. I had already heard most of the songs and I was expecting fresh new songs when the album dropped.
This DOOM Facebook group I’m in has this discussion like twice a month as if it were brand new. Lol
A little while ago my brother came up to me with this super unique rap duo called "Euphon". this duo only has less than 200 monthly listens on spotify and the duo is with two people named Mr Fantastik and Slim Pikins. You might think the name might just be a coincidence, but if you put some of his songs by his part in one of MF DOOM songs they sound a tiny bit different but MF DOOM could've easily used a voice changer for Mr Fantastik. If you google Euphone Mr Fantastik then you can find a thread talking about it a bit better. Even though it might not be Mr Fantastik this duo deserves some love and attention. Pretty good music
My guess would have been U-God of WuTang Clan. Also for the fact that on Ghostfacce Killah's Fishscale was build heavily off old MF Doom beats.
What if it was Onyx the whole time? I mean he does sound like Guilty. Or just a dude and they'll take his place.
Mf Doom is a true artist. “I’m f#%king with you & I’m good at it”. Leaving some many unknowns has everyone on a wild geese chase for the answer. An artist like banksy he built his entire career on speculation. It’s having the success minus the fame.
wholesome honestly, the pure math stuff, the ending, nice video
I love your inclusion of king of the hill clips in your videos. Such a great show
I was just wondering throughout the whole video like a moron how "It was Written" and "The Message" was related to Mr. Fantastik...
