Hahaha first bar in and this gentleman was like “ okay, hold up guys, this is actually real hip hop here “ 😂 RIP MF DOOM
That killed me. he had to lock in 😂😂
Just do the whole album. Its a masterpiece
Even the lazy shit this guy did flip rapers lids.
This is the way.
I know he won’t (which is fine) since that’s not his thing but that would be amazing to watch, I’d love to see his thoughts and breakdown since you get the full experience by the whole Album since every song lands under 3 min.
Correction, just do his whole discography. It's a masterpiece
We will eventually do the whole album for our review show on Enigmatic Electronic Entertainment called "Sunday spins."
Ishmael is also the main character in the book Moby Dick. "Call me Ishmael," are the first words in the book.
That was my first thought. :)
That’s what I thought too
And the preceding line said "everything that glitters ain't fish scale . . . call Ishmael." In Moby Dick Ishmael was the witness who tries to look behind the facade of human nature to see the true nature of the world. This lyric goes deep.
Considering “Call me Ishmael” is one of the most recognizable and famous openings to a novel in the history of English literature and that DOOM fighting with the white whale that is the music industry fits the theme of the song, it’s pretty safe to assume it’s an allusion to Moby Dick.
@@user-br3ru5no4x 🤯
"The Best MC with No Chain" line could also be referring to the fact that DOOM wasn't Tied or "chained" to a Major label at the time, which often had some of their artist as slaves if you think about how certain contracts locked them in LOL. DOOM the Goat
he said that
It’s also saying how he doesn’t chain his rhymes at the end of each sentence, i think he wrote that lyric knowing it could be taken many different ways
@@andrewlayna2007 that's like master lyricism.
Probably a quadruple entendre in the very second line. MF DOOM is bonkers. RIP.
also unchained could be meaning *since he's america's most blunted* to how weed's most notable and first effect that hits the person is how their sense of giving a shit about social norms just disappears , as in he says whatever he wants on the mic because he is unchained from the shit that people think are socially acceptable
He didn't wear the chain, he wore the mask
Thanks for doing my request, MF DOOM considered himself the supervillain of the rap game here to destroy it so yes a fair few of his tracks are disses at the rap game, MF DOOM is also often called your favourite rappers favourite rapper because of how influential he was especially this album, tracks you should check out are accordion, gazillion ear, rhymes like dymes, raid, strange ways, fancy clown, doomsday, I'd suggest all caps next as it has a video for it done in a comic book style as DOOM was a big fan of comics MF DOOM is actually a reference to marvel's Dr DOOM and DOOM actually always wore a mask like Dr DOOM and uses a lot of fantastic 4 samples as well as a lot of samples from old cartoons and movies
That.title.also.goes.to.Pharoah.Monch.but.DOOMs.the.goat
Should’ve recommended accordion…
thanks for requesting this! MF DOOM is my favorite rapper.
Don't forget on of his alias is Viktor Vaugh as in Dr. Dooms real name Victor Von Doom. And King Geedorah but... you know... baby steps lol.

MF DOOM has a huge iceberg, so to speak. A mysterious, eclectic legacy and style that can't be duplicated. Rhymes Like Dimes, ALL CAPS, many others worth checking. Lots of great music with Madlib if you're familiar with him. Aesop would be the closest, agreed, and both were with Rhymesayers.
Aesop and DOOM are just in a different league than everybody else
@@ohn9ne dont forget Eyedea, Ali, Murs, Haphduzn is on the greatest come up I have ever seen in the underground. Rob Sonic, too. Shit, Bobby Digital can flow better than Aes, Aes just has the brain. I'm glad they buried their beef and are working together again.
DOOM and Aesop definitely.
Hey, Gas Drawls, Foolish, Kon Karne are favourites, got to see the villain twice live in Perth Australia… about as far away from Long Isand NY as you can get. RIP The Super M’er’fering Villain DUMILE
@@_nullzy I'm a big RSE fan, saw Atmosphere, Brother Ali and Dem Atlas in concert years ago
"Villany, feel him in your heart chakra."
The villain is one of DOOMs aliases. Heart chakras are associated with fear/love, he's referring to the tightness in the chest associated with fear.
DOOM is the epitome of elite level technical rapping, technical lyricism, everything. Without a doubt a top 5 lyricist of all time.
I'd like to see you look into the work of Eyedea, if he didn't pass so early he'd be mentioned in the same breath as DOOM imo.
He's far beyond every lyricist for me, even though I already consider the others like Tupac, Biggie or Eminem as beasts among humans
He's clearly on another level for me
Hes simply not human, I've never seen such words being put together
Thank you for mentioning Eyedea, time has moved so forward that it's unfortunate he isn't mentioned much anymore. Dude was so incredibly talented and skilled. Miss hearing him freestyle.
Eyedea is soooo slept on unfortunately. I got into him about 2-3 years after his passing unfortunately. He's by far one of the best to have done it, just like DOOM. RIP to 2 legends
Id put Aesop Rock right there with em
MF DOOM has a style that can never be replicated
Earl been trying 🤣😂🤣
@@lyricsanonymous9036 he tries it sometimes but im pretty sure MF DOOM is one of his favorite artists if im not mistaken
@@Lilcuh2011 he is. In homage to his passing; Donald Glover made an episode of atlanta dedicated to MF DOOM where one of the characters were looking for Reminents of an album that was never released by rapper who recently died. The rapper, funny enough, was played by Earl
MF DOOM is a lyrical genius deep dive into is music for sure I specifically like this content very much. All caps, accordion, rhymes like dimes literally anything is good
Rhymes like dimes is essential
MF DOOM has a very underrated catalog. I like everytime old school comes up that beat is just that hip hop!
@@TheShift1313 capital letters, don't matter though. Shatter flows
@@arthurmorgan2026 edited :)
@@TheShift1313 you're a real g
Even Eminem shouted him out on the track with Nas when he was naming the rappers who recently passed away. I love MF DOOM ever since Madvillainy came out mainly because I was buying everything that Madlib was producing. I have to admit it took me a couple tries to understand what was going on but once I got it I was hooked to this guy and the entire album. After that I bought every Cd that came out on his different aliases. So yes please, more poetry from this guy.
Do you think this is the best album Madlib has produced for a rapper
They both performed at the same venue in 1999
@@fabledj By far
Mos def credits him for alot of his style too
I listen haven't listened to all off his music, but for me it's 'The Uneen - Quasimoto'. But that might just be nostalgia, that was the first whole Madlib produced album I ever heard. This is up to there too offcourse, it's just different.'Bandana beats' is fire too, 'The 'Beat Konducta' series, 'Champion Sound', ...
The whole phrase is "it is colder than a witch's tit" sometimes elongated to "it is colder than a witch's titty face-down in the snow in a brass bra outside". In the age of sail, on the cannon deck of a warship, next to each cannon, cannonballs were piled up at the ready, in a pyramid, which the sailors called a witches tit. It was built on a brass plate with holes cut in to hold the cannonballs from rolling off as the ship listed, rolled and pitched. The sailors called the plate a brass bra. Because brass expands and contracts with temperature at a greater rate than iron, rare extreme cold on the cannon deck would cause the brass plate to shrink to the point that the cannonballs would be released from the pyramid and roll over the deck
Been sayin' it for decades since moving up North but never bothered figuring out what "a witch's titty" was referring to til this comment. I commend you, fine sir. Bravo.
He's rapping literally also.. as the song continues hes getting older by the minute but the bars are getting COLDERRR LOLOL..
Slow clap
I take it they didn't use brass after that
Correct but wrong. The pile was never called a witches tit. The brass plate that held the iron cannonballs was called a "brass monkey" which is where the saying cold enough to freeze the balls off a brass monkey came from. The cold as a witches tit simply came for southern slang
Rhymes like dimes is an absolute must as well as doomsday
The fact that he's doing less pauses and just vibing from the last minute of the song put a smile on my face, I'm so happy someone recommended him the illest villain
MF DOOM and Aesop have done a couple tracks together, 2 that i know of are Molemen - Put your Quarter up, Atmosphere - Barcade. Both tracks are Aes, MF DOOM, and Slug from Atmosphere
A-F-R-O is dope to & you should check out Vinnie Paz & RA the Rugged man. Those some dope ass underground MCs that been killing it for a long time
Also together on Prefuse 73 - Black List
Indeed
Also not a track together but the tribute track Aesop put out after DOOM passed is pretty great Aesops verse is amazing
@@ronaldjames7843 the entire drama behind RA the RM getting fucked over when he was about to pop back in the day was insane as hell and reading up on it really puts a lot into the era of labels and rap beef from the time fuckin everyone over for some bullshit
You mentioning aesop rock when saying they are both at the same level made my day
100% I cheered when I heard the comparison to Aes. Exactly what I was thinking when he vocalized it. Both emcees could legit teach a university class about poetry
DOOM is a poet like Bob Dylan. He delivered lines in his own style, some are funny, some are layers deep in meaning and life lessons.
Aesop Rock was a HUGE DOOM fan, even got to rock with DOOM a time or two. When news dropped of DOOM's death, Aesop Rock and Homeboy Sandman dropped a song called Ask Anyone talking about DOOM and how much he meant to them and to hip hop. You NEED to do more DOOM and Aesop Rock!! I'm feeling a major lack in the true hip hop category on your channel my man. Your reactions and breakdowns of real hip hop are my absolute favorite! Please give me more of that!!!
I wish Aesop didn't drop off. His new albums are unlistenable. Old Aesop is amazing.
Ask anyone was also an instrumental DOOM made. I forgot which album but he most definitely made it background music on a skit for "MM. . . FOOD"
@@FinalFlash2110 Aesop has done nothing but get better over the years
@@GordonComstock602 that is completely false. His new albums are actually unlistensble compared to his old ones. His latest two are bad. He changed his flow up to sound like one of these new rappers. It really sucks. A part of me died. If you don't see it then go study. He is one of my favorites so it's hard to swallow.
Thanks bud, after your post checked out Ask Anyone and then went deep on Aesop- amazing artist and better off for having discovered him. Can’t believe he is better known
Check out Rapp snitch knishes feat Mr fantastic.
His work under mf doom and madvillain is all absolutely stellar.
Rap Snitch Knishes for sure!!
Before he was DOOM he was in a group called KMD with his brother Subroc. I won’t go into the whole thing but the industry did have dirty and he disappeared for a while only to come back as the “Supervillian” and plays that role in his raps. Just some context. He also raps under other aliases too tho. Also a phenomenal producer, but I like his stuff with Madlib best.
Yeah both the industry did him dirty and his brother died and it led DOOM into a dark depression . DOOM Was known as zev love x before
This is one of the greatest rap songs ever created and Idgaf what anybody thinks. Greatest rapper of all time in my opinion. This man is a straight up genius and a true artist. RIP Doom.
Say it with yo chest! I come back to it and get something new every time. Unreal track
A few years ago a bunch of rappers was asked "name 5 of your favorite rappers".
MF Doom was at the top of the list. That is why he is called "Your favorite rapper's favorite rapper".
*MF DOOM
all caps when you spell the man's name
PLEASE do more DOOM! my brain does the serotonin thing when i see people hearing a new DOOM track for the first time. he's so stylistically distinct, so lyrically dense, and just so damn good.
This guy has alot of music out there but one that stands out is doomsday…ty for playing this one im going to dive into mf doom again
All caps bro!
You must not have Heard all his music
That moment when it dawns on you that you’ve stumbled upon depth far beyond your level of preparedness or expectation! Don’t worry, everyone is out of their depth when it comes to DOOM. This whole album is a masterpiece among masterpieces. Love your lyrical analysis!
You should so "Accordian" this is one of my favorites. He is a person that should have classes on
"Caskets" is one of my favorite MF DOOM songs, from his collaboration album NEHRUVIANDOOM
Lay in the cut like a puma on the prowl
That whole album is *criminally* underrated
omg i never see enough appreciation for caskets, bishop and dooms verses are incredible and flow so well
As someone who knows nothing about rap, im so glad i saw this video. The analysis added so much to it, now i get the this genre at least a bit.
I've been fearing getting into Doom for ages... daunting back catalogue. Massive rabbit hole.
I'm going in. Thanks for your inspiration
Report back?
There’s sssooooo much packed into this slightly over 2 minute song! I feel ya, like tryna drink out of a fire hose. MF DOOM is lyrically genius.
DOOM is the zappa of rap he knows exactly what he is doing nothing come close to him and the more you hear it the more you understand
Barcade by Atmosphere has Aesop Rock and MF DOOM on the first two verses. Check it brother, you'll dig it.
that instrumental is also fire
DOOM's known most for his flow and rhyme patterns but he is pretty funny, you could check out his Danger Doom album he made for Adultswim.
MF DOOM and Aesop Rock are on the same record label named Rhymesayers which is owned by Slug from Atmosphere. They also have Brother Ali on the same label.
we need more MF DOOM reactions!
The “do not stand still” part is one of the craziest parts I’ve heard in Hip-Hop ever. even reading the lyrics As the song played I couldn’t do it, it’s so coded and hard to execute, I can do it now and it’s very satisfying.
Luv DOOM
explaine?
“Do not stand still boast yo’ skills close but no krills post for po’ nills post no bills, coast to coast Joe schmoes flows I’ll go chill not supposed to overdose no doz pills”
Trying to rap along is extremely hard his breath control is incredible and astute!
MF Doom was such a gem! I'm very sorry for his passing.
Its funny that MF DOOM is an underrated artist, thought to be one of the best rappers of all time, but the mainstream still heard him in songs like the Gorillaz one.
Like a true villain he hid in plainsight I guess.
"Offsides like how Worf rides with Starfleet" is the type of shit so good I'll be mad for eternity that I didn't think of it first. My God.
This is awesome. I've never seen someone break down an MF DOOM song like this.
Thanks for the content.
I'm so fucking jealous of the feeling you have right now. I remember hearing Accordion on one of those "hear it before you buy it" stations at a record store and shit hit my brain in such a great way. It opened up a rabbit hole that I still love burrowing through to this day.
SAY DAT! I remember my first time hearing DOOM back when he was with KMD LOL
@@AfoteyAnnum big up! Im not gonna pretend I knew him from back then. That shit goes hard too. It's a different flavor of doom but his core is very present
"As cold as a witch's tit in a brass brassiere."
Man, dad used to say that one all the time when we lived in Chicago.
Love that you finally got into MF DOOM. He's got so many amazing albums. Being a huge nerd and cartoon fan, my favorite is Danger Doom.
But you gotta listen to the remix of Kookies, if you ask me. Possibly the most hilarious song he's got.
That’s gotta be an old school Chicago saying, my old man said that almost every time it was cold.
@@keithmichaels1686 I'm familiar as someone from WV. I think it's just an old idiom that's becoming more lost to time
I like his alternate character
It's an old naval saying. A stack of cannonballs were pyramid shaped and referred to as a "witches tit". They were stacked on a brass grate, aka "brass bra", with squares smaller than the cannonball diameter. When it got really cold the brass would shrink up sometimes causing the "witches tit" to come tumbling down.
I love how you analyze the lyrics and the meaning it’s absolutely beautiful
Man MF was so damn good, I love this guy's dissection of Dumile's verses. RIP
- Whole album is a classic..... beats by Madlib through the whole album, with MF DOOM rhyming over them
- DOOM is definitely one you have to listen to a bunch of times to get what he is saying, if you ever get it.
- For me, listening to DOOM is just an extra instrument added to the beats. I don't even try to decipher what he is saying
Confession time: I took Metal Fingers/Metal Face/Viktor/Geedorah for granted. Big time. Because of how prolific he was, I got into a "Oh, let me see what dude is up to. It's been a minute," a couple times a year. The last time I did that was the day the news broke. Fucking gutted. It's made me re-examine how I keep up with the stuff I like but I know that doesn't make up for lost time and I certainly know that won't bring him back. All of this is a verbose way of saying thank you for the video. It's making me feel a lotta things
You're the 1st channel I've every subscribed to. I enjoy the structure of your content. Keep up the awesome work.
Listen to one bar. Pulls up the lyrics right after
-RIP MF DOOM
DOOM is the goat. You should review his track “Rhinestone Cowboy” next my guy!
4 minutes in and I subscribed. You eloquently translate MF DOOM lyrics and make it easily understandable and relatable, that’s not an easy thing to do. His bars seem random to the untrained ear but he says so much. Thank you for referring to this as Real Hip-Hop. Great job.
Been waiting for you to get on DOOM for a while
Please tell me are going down the MF Doom rabbit hole! This is your favourite rappers, favourite rapper, favourite rapper. Personally I believe he is the best to ever do it!
What I LIKE about DOOM is his flow is so erratic , yet beautiful. It’s puts you off at 1st. Then becomes addicting!!
The way he rides a beat and all his hidden messages and call backs to growing up as a kid in the 80s and 90s. To the point where modern flows are Boring to me and this is the difficult, expert-level stuff.
I’m late to this but I want to thank you for lessening to MF DOOM. He has been so important to me in the worst years of my life and I still grieve his passing. He was the best and so unknown. Thank you for giving your time.
I love your hip hop breakdowns. You are so good at understanding lyrics on the first listen
Ended up here because of my love for DOOM. Ended up staying here for your great takes
I don't think I can ever get sick of seeing someone's initial reaction to Doom lol
MF DOOM was a part of Stones Throw in the early 2000s. Put Your Quarters Up has Aesop Rock, Slug from Atmosphere, and MF DOOM on the same song.
Also, if you have any base knowledge of 2000’s Adult Swim, The Mouse and The Mask collab album MF DOOM did with Dangermouse is lit. Standout tracks are Old School ft. Talib Kweli and Space Ho's, and Crosshairs
Sofa King and MinceMeat my shits DangerMouse killed it
Hey if you have not already done so listen to "Chubb Rock can you please pay Prince Paul" that was the very first time I heard MF DOOM back in 2000 became an instant fan
@@j.edwardthompson8203 I definitely will!
You picked up an incredible amount of stuff for your first listen. The great thing about DOOM is that there's so much to unpack that you're rewarded on subsequent listens. Can't wait to hear more DOOM from you.
All Caps is a great introduction to MF DOOM.
Gazillion Ear if you want to have a headache after.
i'm so here for your journey into MF DOOM. You've been training for this your whole life. Let's get it.
As an edit per the end of your video:
DOOM was a huge influence to Aesop Rock and the two have worked together a number of times. Pretty sure Aesop has gone on record saying DOOM was #1 in his opinion.
Recommended: Lice (Aesop Rock & Homeboy Sandman) - Ask Anyone (Official Audio)
- upon DOOM's passing, homeboy and Aesop put together this eulogy track in his honor. It's one of the most honest, real send-offs the hip hop world has ever conjured up.
A really old saying that I've heard all my life and have even used it myself; "It's colder than a witch's tit in a brass bra."
I'm new around here and I just gotta say, I appreciate you trying to actually analyze the lyrics in detail. That alone has earned you my sub already.
DOOM is definitely a poet, like you said. Lots of obscure references, double entendres, complex rhyme schemes, etc. I'm actually planning to write an academic paper on some of his lyrics in the future, but I'm still just in the first year of Uni lol
"DOOM" is one of his several alter egos, based on the Marvel character Dr. Doom; A villain looking to take over the world, but often referencing his past as a "regular", yet dangerous criminal. His comedic side, as well as the actual knowledge he spits are what earns him the support of a lot of people despite all of that.
The other important characters in this "universe" are Viktor Vaughn (a petty criminal who looks up to DOOM, but also considers him a rival, even though he's nowhere near the same level) and King Geedorah (an otherworldly entity who, at least to my understanding, gives DOOM orders).
As for songs you should check out: "Accordion", "Meat Grinder", "All Caps", "Beef Rap" and "That's That" are just a couple of my favorites from his catalogue.
My favorite part about DOOM (all caps) is that the idea of hiding behind a persona, much like a supervillain. He often would sit at the bar at his own show while the openers would perform, go backstage, put on the mask and perform, with no-one being the wiser. It pairs nicely with lines like "the best emcee with no chain you ever heard," as he was fairly anonymous and didn't wear chains or show off.
Now, the part that really blows my mind is the idea of him creating this persona of MF DOOM after his brother died. It was literally like he had to invent an aspect of himself, a new, villainous persona that lived in the shadows, a true incarnation of what he loved and hated not only about rap but the world at large.
Such an amazing lyricist, rapper, producer...all of the above. The guy is incredible. Love the video and would love to see more!!!
This guy was a genius. There's a lot of excellent songs to cover, and a lot to analyse inside them.
Hope your patreons keep them coming. That one was a good choice for a first one.
Been waiting for the dive into DOOM. Had a feeling he was the type of hip hop you would vibe with. Also, the fish scale line followed by Ishmael could be a Moby Dick reference.
" feel it in your heart Chakra" Chakra's are spiritual. so you feel this so deep it touches your heart on a spiritual level
RIP DOOM all caps when you spell the man's name.
DDOOOOOOOMMMM!! RIP. listen to "deep fried frenz"
Yes real Hip Hop! please continue with Jedi mind tricks, Public Enemy, Ice-T, Body Count, Bahamadia, Bad Religion, Looptroop etc
My favorite rapper of all time finally being reacted to by one of my favorite reactors! Villain been deep, since a teenaged creep! DOOM is a rabbit hole I went down in the mid 2000's. I never heard of him and my homie sent me like his whole DOOM catalog and I been hooked ever since. His references and rhyme schemes are like no other. Underground rap GOD!
Really loved this deep dive into DOOM's lyrics. Please do more and go into the iceberg.
I never heard of this dude. But I follow Mr. Lloyd. And I am so happy to run across this. This lyricist just pure refreshing
Really enjoyed this! You have a great broadcasting voice! You've got a great breakdown of what's going on in the song too.
I just found your channel and I absolutely love DOOM. At roughly 10:00 in the video the lyric is "as he gets older he gets colder than a witch tit" colder definitely means getting better. And colder than a witch tit is a reference to the ye olde phrase "Its colder than a witches tit outside" because witches were apparently thought to be cold due to being undead. Your videos kick ass, btw. Thanks for your work. Subscribed :)
This is the first time seeing one of your videos, i clicked on it becouse i like mf doom and i stayed becouse you told so much that i didnt think about or didnt fully understand about the song. Thank you and i will for sure continue to watch your videos
"ok this is like real hip hop"
yeah that's doom bro
His bars are so coded, even in the first bar, the chain refers to not being held back, by industry, or my the material chains.
I usually skip the intro, but I caught a few seconds of what you were saying and had to go back. You have an honest candor that is missing from most reactions. Not to mention a very humble yet very deep knowledge base. I'm already a fan!
I love the “ if this isn’t your thing…. (Gesters you to leave) Alright “ lol
"Okey, so this is like real hiphop"
You're goddamn right
This might be one of the best songs I've ever heard
Fucking love how, when DOOM goes insane, looks like Lloyds brain is overloaded with the bars
It was a joy to watch this knowing the lyrics that were coming up and seeing MrLboyd's reaction. Simply put, there's just too much packed into his poetry to react to all of it. RIP to one of the greats, and don't forget all caps when you spell his name
Gazzillion Ear by MF DOOM is a must.
I always thought Ishmael was referring to Moby Dick, especially with the fish scale line right before
"this is something to be studied"
yup. RIP legend
I loved your in depth reaction and assessment of the song. Great vid.
i know it took him to pass away for people to really find out about him, but i still appreciate people hearing him for the first time and buggin out. this is the guy that got me through high school 2004 to 2008 just read the lyrics "everything that glitter aint fish tail" everything that glitters aint gold and he figured out a different rhyme scheme to say the same thing man MF DOOM does not get enough credit for his words thats spoken
His flow is crazy. One of a kind MC. Dense and deep. Can't wait to see you get into this library.
“Figaro Figaro *wink*” lmao my brain malfunctioned trying to comprehend his lyrics🔥
“Colder than a witch’s tot” is something my mom used to say when the weather starts to get colder outside, usually in fall. Some connection to Halloween and spirits of fall im sure. Its an old saying
"We make the joints to spread'em butter moist" always seemed like a play on Barry Manilow's "I write the songs"...at least to me.
"1 for the money, 2 for the better green, 3-4 methylene dioxymethamphetamine"
RIP DOOM one of the greatest ever
watching you earnestly attempt to deconstruct a DOOM track on first listen, and seeing your expressions when the flow gets compressed and compounded, and the references go far and wide... priceless.
MF DOOM IS THE END BOSS OF RAP
A lot of rappers claim to be your rappers favorite rapper. But he really was the favorite of many of them.
MF doom is the artist I listen to when I need to never skip a song. Just unbelievable how good he is.
Love that everyone has the same reaction at 8:30
Yo yo yo 😂 ur facial reactions to the bars had me dyyyying! Great content... keep it up
