The Evolution of MF DOOM

Rhymesayers — Fri, 14 Jun 2013 12:48:00 -0500

The homies at VICE Mag's Noisey Music just dropped an incredible and seriously in-depth article taking a look at the history behind hip hop's maddest masked villain. Check out their RSE highlight below and click HERE to read more.

The MF DOOM persona made a triumphant comeback, since its inception on Operation Doomsday, with the Rhymesayers released MM...Food in 2004. It was another thematic adventure seeing DOOM tackle all things culinary and while it wasn't as well received by critics as Madvillainy, fans praised MM...Food for its lyrical richness and a more playful DOOM, as well as welcoming back his sorely missed production with stand out tracks like "Hoe Cakes" and "Rapp Snitch Knishes".

Ghettoblaster Magazine recently sat down with Aesop Rock and Kimya Dawson of The Uncluded. Peep a quick snippet below and then click HERE to read more...

Ghettoblaster: How did the band form? Aesop, I know you sent Kimya a letter because you were a big fan.

Aesop Rock: I did. That was a long time ago. We have a friend in common and a little while after that, after emailing back and forth a little bit and knowing some of the same people, we sort of met up to work on your record when we finally got in touch after my fan letterdom . She was like “Well I’m recording my new record in Berkeley” and I live in San Francisco. And I was like “awesome,” so I went over to see where they were recording and help out in any way I could. So that was the beginning of us just kind of ...
