    Just a heads up that the artisit "Quasimoto" that appears on a few of the songs on this album is actually madlibs rapping alter ego. His album "The Unseen" is an absolute classic and worth a listen, some of madlibs best production combined with an absolutely amazing rap style and personality from him. You'd definitely find it an interesting listen since you seem to like his production style.

But he is the only one I knew of who has evolved with that style. Brings you back to a time when hip hop was a thoughtful medium. I use to talk about lyrics. I was a complete nerd with it.

      Been only a fan of him for 7-8 years so I really didn’t get to listen to DOOM when he dropped all the masterpieces but the albums he has dropped are probably my favourite hip hop albums of all time when I found out he died I was absolutely shocked man almost brought to tears a few times it was around 12:00 in the morning I found out about his death and god it hit me hard. The first things I did after taking a while to let it kick In was I played Doomsday when that chorus hit it hit so damn hard I miss the man everyday and I still find it hard to believe he is gone.

He's the type of fan to like artists like logic, Joyner, Eminem, NF, jcole etc instead of artists like Kendrick, MF DOOM, Kanye, mos def, Andre 3000, Travis Scott, etc. But I will say that Jon's reactions seemed heavily influenced by Simon and he seems to open his mind and show his true feelings way more when alone.

    And THIS. THIS was a proper reaction video. Thank you, keep on doing your shit!
    Consider reacting to Madlib's Quasimoto-adventures! The guest on America's Most Blunted; lead on Shadows of Tomorrow. It's Madlib's voice, but he didn't like his own voice, so he changed the pitch.

    Before I talk about this album, I loved the message at the end of the vid and agree 100%, love the earnest nature of these reactions and you as a person.
    I grew up with rap but was never that heavily invested in music in general. When I was 18 I really delved into music deeply, hip-hop especially, and a couple years later I decided to listen to this masterpiece, and it just solidifed why this is the kind of music I will always come back to, always feel some comfort in. I have probably heard it over 100 times in the past several years and I will still find new things to appreciate. Your reaction is still my reaction sometimes as the density of the bars and rhyme schemes is absurd, especially given I have written a lot of raps and poems so it puts into perspective the next level he was on during this time period. There's a reason he is the quintessential "your favourite rapper's favourite rapper." Would love to hear your thoughts on it down the line when you've listened to it more and had time to ruminate, it deserves it.

    So happy you did this for your 50K Special! One of my favourite albums of all time.
    My favourite tracks would be Meat Grinder, America's Most Blunted, Curls, Strange Ways, Fancy Clown, Eye, Great Day, to name a few lol.
    I first listened to MF DOOM when I was 17 or 18 (4 years ago), mostly heard of him as "Your favourite rapper's favourite rapper." I was listening to Earl and got into DOOM through his Wiki page. You can definitely hear the DOOM influence on early Earl tracks from his EARL mixtape and Doris.
    MF DOOM has a pretty untouchable discography, I'd compare it to Kanye for how they both have no bad albums. Also both fantastic producers and you'll see that if you venture more into his solo albums like Mm. Food, Operation Doomsday, Born Like This. I would love it if you did the albums weekly or biweekly and just let them marinate in between.
    You also have to get into the different alias' that he has like:
    King Geedorah which is a 3 headed dragon monster from the Kaiju genre of movies in Japan like Godzilla. He produces all but one song on the album, which is Take Me to Your Leader. Doesn't rap on all of them but all the features are solid. Definitely an essential album.
    Viktor Vaughn is another alias which is DOOM as a younger street tough, not at the supervillain level of DOOM. The track Fancy Clown is Viktor calling out his girl for cheating on him with DOOM. Both Viktor Vaughn albums, Vaudeville Villain and Venomous Villain, are produced by other people but still must-listens.
    Also can't forget DANGERDOOM, which is MF DOOM on the mic and Danger Mouse on the beats. The album is called The Mouse and the Mask, and it's a trip into the Adult Swim universe circa 2004. Lots of references and samples from Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Harvey Birdman, Space Ghost Coast to Coast, etc. Definitely more of a stoner album but still great sober lol.
    This was hella long i apologize, have a great rest of your day, night, or whenever.

    Great reaction! I love your speech about language towards the end and I couldn't help but to think of the song "Fumes" by Aesop Rock, he's another lyrical behemoth who studied MF DOOM to create his own style that's just as legendary imo. Aes' discography is enormous and varied in sound, his older stuff being more cryptic and dense while his newer stuff is purposefully less cryptic but really just as dense. He also has produced a lot of his own beats and for many others.
