Kai Brainard Do you know he story turned out fucked up hence the mask after the death of his brother and other dark shit. MF doom was born. The villain.
Everybody say Anakin before Vader but Anakin Slaughter a village even the women and children the point is MF has always been cold and sharp Like a Knife these lyrics as cute as they are they are smart, slick , cold and quick!
Anytime a KMD video is shown, it always goes to "Doom this" and "Doom that". This was an amazing track that no rapper would dare touch nowadays, because everyone gotta be big man, grow up too fast, instead just being happy you got your youth. Awesome throwback, love this track.
Yup, you know it, growing up too fast Showing up to class with Moët in a flask He ask the teacher if he leave will he pass His girl is home alone he trying to get the
They were way ahead of their time. Just creatively and lyrically, Especially DOOM. The music industry wasn't 100% prepared for DOOM and Subroc's mind and ideas
his story of having two different HIPHOP personas directly influenced by the politics of the majors controlling the narrative of what sells in rap music and the untimely death of his brother is one of this culture's most legendary legacies. there's only one DOOM, the ballad of Daniel Dumile
Yes. Serious question. I did not know that he passed. Just a guy that grew up during this time listening to the music but not pretending to know the nuances of their individual lives. Appreciate the clarity.
+Showmesomelove villians once was innocence till somethin traumatic happened that would change them forever, aka the death of Subroc. RIP SUBROC. MF DOOM changed style, i like both. I wish he make this kinda sound sometimes.
+Presley Khok Well it adds even more to the mystery and art of DOOM this was young innocent and fun something he is not anymore. Now he is an evil villain who still treats women with respect.
Search helped two of the most iconic rappers get their start...Nas and MF Doom. Also this was during a time when rappers were trying to HELP each other get on, not tear down or shoot each other.
alhamdulillah, got my first qu'ran from one of the ansaar brothers; they kept their part of bushwick beautiful back in the days(mid 80's) had maybe 4/5 square blocks w/ laundromats, supermarkets, and other stores...peace to that brother and all from that community that stayed w/ islam
much respect for Daniel (DOOM) and the tenacity he endured after losing the loved ones he's lost. every time i hear/see this it just hits me right in the feels and i remember one of the lines from his song "?" "everything was going according to plan man" i get the feeling zev love X passed away along with his brother, and i know he would trade in all his personas + more just to see subroc and his son one more day. i have nothing but respect for dumile.
Thats so weird, i literally listened to that song before this thinking of that verse and i didnt even search for this video, it got recommended to me...
*Everything is going according to plan man* doom took everything bad that happened and still looks towards the future assuring his brother that his plans are merely altered not stopped, on a lighter note
dude i see you everywhere uspecioully on classic joints , that,s really good Peace Homie , and Rest In Peace To Capital Steez , Long Live Steelo!!!!!!!
I knew about kmd group years ago but I never listens to there content I tried but I couldn't find it. Or I didn't even search it up but I knew about kmd and stuff
For being African American in the 90s and they're age having these rhymes and flows with straight positivity is crazy! Plus I think I heard no cursing.
this is a bad ass song, i like the 3rd bass cameos that you see though out the video. ive noticed Doom still has that oldschool vibe on his current music...oldschool hip hop is king
After releasing a few albums, DOOMS brother died before they would drop their sophomore album. The group immediately got dropped by their label and their album couldn’t be released due to an offensive album cover. DOOM spent time on the streets sleeping on benches before creating the best villain of rap history. Legend
Never ever bought a MF Doom record...but was a big fan of KMD! They were very unique at the time. In the Tribe, De La Soul, Jungle Brothers, Black Sheep, UMC mold. Just now listening to MF Doom's music and I hear a lot of Wu Tang in his flow...very creative though. These were magical times for hip hop and KMD was right in the thick of things!
I was wondering where I recognized this style of flow from, but now I realise I recognise it cause it's so similar to Bishop Nehru's style. Makes one think, - perhaps this is why DOOM wanted him for their latest collab-release.
That nigga Serch was a dedicated A&R he brought us this monster and the god Nasir. son had KMD cut into the back of his head joe. A Jewish white boy down with the culture. dedicated. to this day Serch one of the few white boys in HIPHOP who gets my genuine respect besides EL P, Nonphixion and Bronson & Alchemist
The golden era hip-hop groups were all talked to in order to preserve their ways of rhyming for future generations... it's all part of the book *HOW TO RAP* and its sequel *HOW TO RAP 2*. Must-read stuff for real hip-hop heads. Everyone from Public Enemy to Mobb Deep, Cypress Hill, Pharcyde, Tribe, and lots of others were interviewed in those books.
Nuff respect goes to the ANSAARUALLAH COMMUNITY. And the God AS SAYYID ISSA AL HAADI AL-MAHDI, DR. MALACHI Z. YORK, aka PAA NABAB YAANUWN the master of the Heavens and the Earth for giving these brothers their shot.
Nevaeh Hunter Ever thought about Dr. York being the reason that whole era of hip hop was Conscious? It's an inside unsaid fact. Just like in the 70s he influenced the sound of Philadelphia through Kenny Gamble
I blasted this in the late days of 8th grade in 2010. School was about to let out for the summer. The uplifting vibe of this song found its way into my daily routine to play between april and august of 2010. Memorable times indeed.
I'd never heard of Aeropostale until your comment, thanks for that tidbit.. i looked it up and it said: "The first Aéropostale store was opened in New York City, New York by R.H. Macy & Co., Inc. in 1987." So it makes sense he'd be wearing stuff like that as rap cats typically like to stay geared. MF rocks!
Yeah mane! People dont even know Dr. York was behind all this...and you judge a tree (man/woman) by the fruit it (he/she) bears. I guess the Bes Kept Secrets are Bes Kept Sacred...Peace, Joy & Divine L💚VE to You, and Yours Fam🙏
this video was bangin my ear drums back in the day . . while i loved listening to the gangsta rap of that era , NWA ,ice T , ice cube (before and after he left NWA) KMD was an intelligent fun alternative of rap that swept my crew by storm... long live DOOM( Zev love X ) Rest In Power Subroc
Wow RIP and on the last day of 2020 just confirming how 2020 was a whole dub! This video was a classic and put a smile on my face to simpler times. Sure there was an entire drug epidemic going on but the music was timeless and the feel of times were priceless. DOOM was a hidden jewel and to me never got the recognition he deserved. May he join his son in eternal peace.

How i would kill to watch DOOM's reaction to watching this video atm.
I've heard several interviews with DOOM where they play this and other songs and get his reaction.. he just says it was a long time ago..
Its probably kinda hard cause of the death of Sub Roc

Watch the Red Bull lecture...
FreestyleFletcher the guy that commented above is Doom
thedubiousbaker Its the red bull academy one
I dedicate this one to Subroc, the hip-hop Hendrix
RIP
WTF!!! Did he pass??
Don't know if this is a serious question but Subroc died many years ago, before DOOM even became DOOM.
Yes. Serious question. I did not know that he passed. Just a guy that grew up during this time listening to the music but not pretending to know the nuances of their individual lives.
Appreciate the clarity.
yes, he lived on the streets after the loss. A big trauma for him for sure :(

Leoven Sounds like a villain back story if I ever heard one

It's dope that DOOM has brought so many people to KMD. I'd definitely suggest checking out their first two albums if you haven't already...
Ahead of its time, really
I used to ride this cassette out in my Walkman in high school when it dropped back in 91🤣😂
