We can not think of a more painful way to end this horrible year than us hearing of MF DOOM’s passing. He meant so much to many. From his comeback, his wicked rhymes to his villainous identity, DOOM was one of a kind. We wanted to honor Daniel Dumile by sharing with you some known/not-so-well known songs among his vast catalogue. We will revisit the mask in different ways through his work with Madlib (Madvillain), Danger Mouse (DangerDoom) and Czarface to name a few. We also have various interview snippets that speak to his genius. It has been a true honor to many of us to have had him in our lives. We wish him the best on his transition. Peace to John and Ramon.
