LYRICS:
Aesop Rock:
Roses for the OG MF, where were you when Bob dropped the OG Deadbent?
I was over Tony’s on some “Whoa is that? No, is that...?
Yes it’s Zev Love X, sounding reckless”
I took it to the head and heart
You were back as Metal Face and threatening my pearl white Acura from the 2nd bar
Barfing up a master class in charismatic disrespect
And trash talk, mask on, mac and cheese Timberlands
Sold the first Apple Seed cd's at your Brownies show
While you were saying "something to remember like the Alamo”
I was yelling every word and never late
And when you finally played “Hey!” I felt the venue levitate
Ask anyone, L.I. to upstate
Come to learn it’s only phase 1 of the flood gates
DOOM stay gluing true grit to the bass line
And made himself a hero and a villain at the same time
Back in ‘94 you had that line about the Nikes on the wire
I’d always see these Nikes on the wire when I was driving through a neighborhood somebody said you stayed in
Convinced I’d found the actual inspiration
For the record I was not even close to the right neighborhood
Even when the heart is pure, the brain is mush
Thank you for the stories, and the fuck you to the normies
Brewin said we lost our Jordan, I would sprinkle in some Vorhees and agree
Breeze I have this memory of me and you
Rapping Meat Grinder to each other at a BBQ in BK
Got the same memory with a couple other people too
Trading DOOM lines, that’s what people do
You were always kind to me in person
I tried to play it cool but I was always kinda nervous
30 summers a guide in the muddy waters
To the man with many names: I hope you’re somewhere with your brother, yea
Homeboy Sandman:
Supervillain tho
Illin tho
Chopping records that my parents listened to
DOOM was on a mission to remind you that the magic is what matters
But where’d he find that banter?
Where’d he find them patterns?
He ain’t had no manners
My favorite villain is The Drop off Viktor Vaughn
But every time I hear the Great Day intro I’ma sing along
And cats be sleeping on the GMO's them lessons on point
We share a brother in Kuri from the ? joint
Supervillain in the function then his peoples never far
Thanks for introducing us to John Robinson and Stahhr
And a era full of rarified jewels
And making use of airtime for making bad hairlines cool
Being crazy takes guts
Monsta Island Czars had a rep for being nuts
Extra special words
Scent of special herbs still lingers
My pantheon is Bird and Mingus, Prince and Metal Fingers
Larger than life, he had his own Nikes
I’m a Clearweather brand dude but dag DOOM
MM FOOD was the anagram
Fresh put me on I proceed to put on anyone that was famalam
And
Every particle genuine article
Okay you stiffed a few promoters
Who thought they booked the man under the mask but they could never tell for certain
Walking the walk, while talking in third person
He wore a mask so the charge won’t grab
On a rooftop with a large stone slab
Seen where the industry was going and
Had the gonads
To go “nah”
Thanks
A bar is not a measure
Of music DOOM was doing it’s a unit a buried treasure
No one ever done it better
So I’ma keep my computer on caps lock forever.

"I hope you're somewhere with your brother."
Cut deep.
Respect.
beautiful tho
yo
AND HIS SON IF YOU DID NOT KNOW MY FRIEND
Rest in Peace to Subroc, DOOM, and his son. I'm sure there was a beautiful reunion and that anger that made the villain we loved in the first place has passed.
The universe owe 'em.
legit teared up at that, a beautiful coda.
"And made himself a hero and a villain at the same time"
This is more than just a tribute, this is literally history class. These stories aren't just bars written about a hypothetical or a person they never met. This was a peer, a friend, an ally if you will, my condolences to all close to him, family and fans. Rest in peace DOOM! May your legacy live on forever!
Well said
Yeah this brings a tear to my eye
That's dope
The love is insane. Just the raw and deep cuts Aes is dropping is fucking insanity. The pearl white Acura and the mac and cheese timberlands is touching back to how they actually met. Aesop Rock is definitely taking it to school. "Breeze said we lost are Jordan! I would sprinkle in some Vorhees and agree."
If Aesop went to Long Beach, NY then he would have found DOOMs neighborhood, where the Nikes hung on a wire!
I can't believe an MF DOOM tribute song is on FIFA 22! 😭😭😭 The last thing I expected
No one ever did it better. SO IMA KEEP MY COMPUTER ON CAPS LOCK FOREVER
Did you even listen to the tune bro?
@@vdoza33 It's the lyrics bra.....
@@vdoza33 You misspelled DOOM
@@vdoza33 Not the brightest bulb eh?
Can we get all streaming platforms to correct the misspelling of his name? I know Spotify has a handful of corrections to make.
I'd recognize that DOOM beat anywhere. So glad Aes and Sand are back together.
Isn’t this beat originally from a Masta Ace song?
Glad Aes could hold on to this one 😪
What song is it?
DOOM’s Datura Stramonium for anyone curious. Ace used it in Me and My Gang.
@@admbrnk3665 nah the masta ace song came out 8 years after the DOOM beat
A bar is not a measure of music DOOM was doing, it’s a unit, a buried treasure.
*the biggest facts ever spoken!*
best line ive heard in a long time
What a fuckin bar by sand. Gotta think DOOM is smiling hearing that one
DOOM chillin with his brother, son and rhyming with jdilla
Fuck man. Brings tears to my eyes. Losing a friend is hard. Especially a one of a kind. R.I.P.
All friends are one of a kind. Take care friend.
I felt like he was all our friend. Humble guy.
MY BROTHER FROM ANOTHER MOTHER
Aesop's verse here is just so insanely good. Heartfelt, vulnerable, tributary. All while effortlessly destroying this beat with his trademark coolness. DOOM would be thrilled hearing this.
Easily one of my fav Aes verses. Goosebumps.
Big facts I wonder where Tyler the Creator's at🤔
Totally agree - you can really feel how much DOOM'S passing really affected both aes and sandman. This track is just such an awesome tribute DOOM'S legacy. Even if the masses don't realize the genius that the scene was built off of, we will all know that he was irreplaceable in creating rap as we know it today.
I agree wholeheartedly, this is the illest to DOOM tribute you could ask for and AES and Sandman killed it perfectly. Thank you!
@@alysonlitrell2093 is this backhanded or r u fr? lmao
"No one do it better so I'm keep my computer on "ALL CAPS forever"
RIP DOOM
I'm crying again but this time it's healing my soul.
Aesop Rock:
DOOM stay gluing true grit to the bass line
And made himself a hero and a villain at the same time ❤️
Homeboy Sandman:
Music DOOM was doing it’s a unit a buried treasure
No one ever done it better
So I’ma keep my computer on caps lock forever ❤️
What a tribute. Crazy to hear the best wordsmith paying tribute to the best wordsmith. Heartbreaking and beautiful
It makes me insanely happy that Aes and Sand are collaborating again. And that the first track is a DOOM tribute makes it all the better
Makes me cry a little bit not gunna front
These are the people i wanted to hear a doom tribute i know they where gonna do it
And do it right
Every one is one of a kind, man.
Took the words right out of my mouth. Mans bringing likeminds together even in death. Legacy forever etched, rest in power metal fingers.
"I hope you're somewhere with your brother"
Shit gave me goosebumps
RIP Doom,
they need to put the lice projects on streaming platforms.
ALL CAPS
DOOM*****
Does SoundCloud count? They’re there.
Believe there's some licensing issues with that yet, but they did release the previous ones on vinyl.
UA-cam to mp3 if you have to haha
MY COMPUTER FROM NOW STAYS ON CAPS LOCK FOREVER! Aes's verse was so heartwarming especially those lines about the nikes on the wire and then of course meeting DOOM and rapping with him. Sandman blew it out the park too, weaving the DOOM lines is such a good feeling for the DOOM heads over the years. All in all incredible, a true tribute to DOOM man. R.I.P, his inspiration will live on through generations man.
Even frog people respect the Gods
@@alysonlitrell2093 Even the frogs can't deny the flow my friend
ID always see these nikes on the wire in a neighborhood someone said you’d stayed in, convinced i found the actual inspiration. for the record i wasn’t even close.
Perfectly illustrated how enigmatic DOOM is.
Hmmm

@@strangewayfaringstranger why?
One of my most favorite songs is Aes and DOOM on Blacklist. It's shame I won't get to hear them together again 😔

I LOVE YOU BRO 🔥👌🏾BLACKLIST

“To the man with many names I hope you’re somewhere with your brother” ❤️ Rest In Peace
RIP DOOM

8 people forgot that the magic is what matters
Love the incorporation of DOOM lines throughout. It's like a look back at his songs all while using a sick DOOM beat... RIP the illest villain forever.
this is a dope tribute, I'm speechless. DOOM FOREVER
TRUTH!!!
Best song in fifa no 🧢
***JANUARY 9, 1971 - OCTOBER 31, 2020?
LOVE & PEACE. THIS IS POWERFUL!
R. I. P. DOOM.

@@rhymesayers
IT'S REAL SPOOKY LIKE A REAL TRIFE MOVIE...
If you guys care to know, the beat to this is MF DOOM's "Datura Stramonium" off the Special Herbs Box Set
RESPECT to Aes and sand for doing this🙌❤️.RIP to the illest ever🥀.
nice pic lol
@@Botched_toes ay max is a goat😂
@@ccr8085 yessir lol
Made himself a hero and villain at the same time
Your favorite rapper's favorite rapper.
He can't really be dead. Villains always get sequels and spin-offs.
The "walking the walk while talking in third person" bar is the most clever shit I've ever heard
there's a reason they call him sandman.... slept on
DOOM and his brother did everything together.
They're doing it again!
RIP RIP RIP
I wish rappers would make tributes like this while their inspirations are still alive.
"To the man with many names: I hope you’re somewhere with your brother, yea"
I'M NOT CRYING, SHUDDUP
rip MF DOOM without your influence underground hip hop would never be the same!
It's so beautiful to see all these real emcees come out and pay respect to DOOM
DOOM, Aesop Rock, Homeboy Sandman - 3 of the best to ever do it 🙌🏼
WORD!!!
You, my man, are f@cking correct in your assessment.
Bro, those other 2 are good, but MF DOOM is a Legend. This is my 2nd or 3rd time hearing these other guys rap and they’re good. But the first time I listened to DOOM it changed my life I’m terms of music. RIP METAL FINGERS 🙏🏽
"A bar is not a measure of music DOOM was doing it's a unit of buried treasure"
This line goes so fucking hard, it's the kind of wordplay doom would have absolutely loved.
Couldn't have asked for a better in memoriam track. Long live DOOM.
Open Mike Eagle and Lupe did super dope tributes
@@TheJerbol Yeah, the open Mike eagle vid made me cry. Most of the stuff being put out in honor of his legacy is getting to me. Probably going to be low for a while to come.
Snatched the comment right out of my mouth, homie.
@@seek3031 Bless up, say your piece/peace anyway bro. We're all mourning together, we should all be heard.
@@Uebermenschman To my mind applause is more fitting than tears when individuals like this move on. The destination is inevitable... to be able to have left giifts by the side of the road for those who follow to find is a rare blessing.
Brought a tear to my eye
RIP DOOM. Glad to see Aesop e Homeboy Sandman paying respects
Been two years since this dropped just passing through to say DOOM is still here forever!
This is gorgeous, thank you Aesop and Sandman. Thank you most of all, DOOM. RIP
Best track on Fifa of all time
RIP DOOM.
R.I.P. DOOM
Wow this hit me super hard. The fact they threw something this good together that fast is mind blowing in itself. Big respect to all 3 emcees. This is REAL HIP HOP
I've lost count of the number of times Ian Bavitz has spilled tears onto my face
countless
feel this for real :'(
Im replying to bookmark this comment if you could reply with anything it would be appreciated
@@chowder6148 even tho we didn’t see the real doom in concert it was still one of the greatest days ever.
Same, friend.
Trading DOOM lines thats what people do!!
''I’m keep my computer on caps lock forever'' .
hit from a different way
A fucking brilliant tribute to the G.O.A.T ❤️ RIP DOOM
Heroes get remembered, but legends never die. Rip mad villain.
Facts!!
This song is beautiful. Damn near made me cry a few times. "Hope your somewhere with your brother", that was powerful.
WHOOOAAAAAAA THIS IS DOPE! "........mmfood is a anagram...." That bar fucked me up. I didnt even realize that til just now wowwwwwww!
Trading DOOM lines that’s what people do❤️🙏🏻
The lice trilogy is TIGHT! Good lyricism at some of its finest.
It’s one of 2 cd’s in my car, been on heavy rotation all year. The second is rtj4.
Aes’s verse got a man emotional and shit. Full of memories, love and respect. RIP DOOM
My husband showed me this song the day it came out because he knows my love for MF DOOM.... And also my husband and I first met when I was wearing a Hey Kirby tshirt i bought at the impossible kid show in St. Pete, FL so he brought up Aes to break the ice to me and eventually we started hanging at my apartment on my days off and listening to MF and aesop and opeth all day while gaming(treasured memories now).
I remember it being new years eve and I was pregnant w/ our daughter and my hubby woke me up from a nap to tell me he had bad news and sat beside me and gently told me MF DOOM died. He looked so concerned and serious i thought something happened to a family member...
Then I heard Ask Anyone a couple days later with such great clever references to DOOMs work and the stories in the lyrics about DOOM from two artists who i also adore and are special to me coz thats how I first bonded w/ my husband... just touches my heart, man. You can tell how much A&H respect him. its a beautiful legacy and respectfully titled track.... ....gets me in my feels so much i had to type out a whole ass paragraph...
What an amazing combination of talents
Dope and I'm crying
That one dude who thumbs downed is a buster
What kinda a hole thumbs down a tribute? Doucher
They were probably nodding their head so hard they missed the thumbs up button
Every time people say this shit, more people dislike it lol
37 Busters.
Make that 51
I sometimes shed a tear going back to this song and reading the lyrics
What an incredible tribute
Get Lice on streaming 🐜
Long Live the Villain
RIP DOOM. YALL DID HIS NAME GOOD. RESPECT.
ALL HAIL MF DOOM! Miss you already. 😔
This is so dope!!! RIP DOOM
damn Aes, this hits home... boy sandman lol. Rest in Power DOOM
This is beautiful
Met Homeboy when he opened for Ali back in 2013 in Toronto. We caught him after his set and he talked with us for like 10mins, gave us signed posters and gladly grabbed photos with us too. Great night! Met Brother Ali that night too! :D
Still can't believe DOOM is gone. So surreal to hear my favourite rapper tribute my other favourite rapper. RIP.
DOOM IS LIFE
Never stop Aesop!!
It's crazy how deep into DOOM's catalogue this song is! It flows from Zev Love X to MF! Making references to every single drop. It's just pure genius!
“Even when the heart is pure the brain is mush”💛🫡
This is amazing. Aes is my favorite and DOOM also one of top fav lyricists and love his instrumentals. Used to listen to a lot of MF before I ever heard of Aes, so this track is gold mine for me personally. RIP DOOM LONG LIVE THE KING, GHIDORAH!
This warmed my heart. Aesop is the goat in my opinion but I can’t argue against DOOM. This loss hurt.
First time hearing this song. Brought tears to my eyes. What a beautiful tribute.
R.I.P. DOOM. Thanks for this, it very nice
I just knew these two would make a song to give praise to DOOM
Thank you for the stories
Breeze I have this memory of me and you
rappin meat grinder to each other at a BBQ in BK got the same memory with a couple other people too. Trading DOOM lines that’s what people do.
I felt that.
Sandman sounds great on this track.
Damn... They both went deep with the DOOM rhymeschemes/patterns on this.
CLASSIC. WE ONLY SPEAK OF MF DOOM IN ALL CAPITALS. REST IN POWER DOOM
Felt the venue levitate
Thought they booked the man under the mask but could never be for certain, walkin the walk while talkin in third person. Such a DOOM line lol.. love this track.
Trip that he transitioned on Halloween , the night everyone wears a mask . RIP MF DOOM
Respect! These lines made my mind mush too AES.
Respect, best obituary I have ever heard. RIP masked man!
Yassss been waiting years for some new Lice
Aesop gonna make us all cry with this
Makes me want to shed a happy tear and a sad one. Rip DOOM
RIP MF DOOM - LONG LIVE LICE
PUT LICE ON SPOTIFY R.I.P. MF DOOM
Aes and Sandman together on an MF DOOM tribute track... high respect✊🏽
REST IN PEACE DOOM! Thanks Aes and Sand, this is dope! I been listening to your stuff all night while I tidy my room Aes, earlier it was MF, then this dropped, couldn't be more perfect!
CAPS LOCK FOREVER!!!
Dope, gentlemen, dope.
Still gets tears out of me if I listen to the lyrics too closely
