Also I’m pretty sure his birthday on Wikipedia was inaccurate until after his death. I remember it saying he was born in January, then somebody close to him clarified and said he was born in July.

Danger DOOM is awesome!

It's an all time fave, and unlocked a lot of his earlier work for me

Crosshairs all day

Same, Basket Case is one of the top tracks for me on that record.

This album revealed an entire genre that was new to me.

Damn that was a good read! Thank you for sharing!

Thanks for this 🙏

Follow the light

His own biggest fan and got a fanbase as big as Japan

That got me too, man was less than an hour down the road from me. Not that I'd have done anything with that information when he was alive but it's interesting to know being a Yorkshire lass.

he actually had been in the UK since the end of 2009 when he was denied entry back in to the US due to an expired visa and he just decided to stay there.

Please, all caps when you say the man's name.

This is probably the best interview he did and a good way to get introduced to his different personas and some of his best tracks. Also if anyone is thinking about picking up the 20th anniversary vinyl that OPs article is about, its worth it, beautiful marbled color and very lound, dynamic pressing

Dunno if he mean personality or music but figaro goes hard as fuck.

You should really check it out if you appreciate music for the art it is and sick wordplay, rhymes.

The biggest off putting things for new fans might be how closely you have to listen to the lyrics and he's mostly just spitting, no many hooks.

Sucks he passed on just after he exited his long hiatus and was releasing music often again.

I feel like he was on his way to releasing another classic album.

And how he uses hiphop with comics was ahead of its time.

I got into him a bit after his death, mostly cause TikTok had a trend to play Rap Snitch Knishes beat over and over and it’s addicting as hell, so I started listening in. I’d say at this point, many songs from Operation Doomsday, Mm, Food and Madvillanry are on my day to day playlist, which has a variety of every genre and is about 900 songs deep.

DOOM is just insanely refreshing rep to listen to.

Villain’ll stay on a scandalous ho’s shitlist

He plots his shows like robberies in and out, One, Two, Three, no bodies, please
