The man led a tragic life. From his younger brother Sub Roc being killed by a car, to losing his 14 y/o son Malachi in 2017, I've always assumed that DOOM ultimately died of a broken heart.
@@PkmJZ yeah his whole life wasn't blessed not just his brother but facing so many fans as a person is tuff work.. hence the mask and the lyric no gymic
HOLY SHIT I AM IN THE AUDIENCE IN ONE OF THE LAST CLIPS!!! MF was my favorite rapper since the early 2000s. I worshiped him. To be included in this video was a big treat. Thanks.
I remember hearing about his death and it was the first time a rappers death made me cry. Manyvhave made me sad, but DOOM made me cry. What a huge loss to not only hiphop but music overall. He was a genius and a real guy... its truly fucked to never get anything new from him again.
I felt the loss too man. I'd been a fan of his music since 2004. He helped revive my love for rap music (after 2003 I was getting bored with it) and made my love for hip hop culture become deeper than what it already was. He even helped make me a better artist, which I was in my first year of art school when I found his music. It's like he made you see things creatively from a different and more broad perspective. He is definitely in my top 10 MC's of all time.
@NW7386 Same. I was a teen in the early 2000s and I just couldn't get with the music then (or now). Finding artists like him cure that musical itch I just couldn't get from variations of rock or EDM, etc.
same here dude... the only artist or celebrity death that has made me bawl my eyes out. will still shed the odd tear over my man DOOM every now and then, particularly after a brew or two.
This is a great video. I would like to have seen more on the fact that he was homeless and still making music and not only had basic musical equipment but pioneered a kind of abstract sampling for artists today.
Love his productions, but curious what you mean more specifically by this: "pioneered a kind of abstract sampling"? ....What do you suggest he did that hadn't been done before?

I got into MF DOOM during an extremely transitional time in my life. I'd pretty much completely abandoned my life to take a wild shot at something new. I remember listening to him and Killer Mike non-stop when I was repeatedly driving six hours each direction getting my new life set up. Got to go meet my new boss? 12 hours of MF DOOM. Two trips in my car moving all my stuff out into the middle of nowhere where I'd be living? 24 hours of MF DOOM. He's kinda wormed his way into my soul as a result. Like the background music for my new life, which was an insane risk on my part, but has worked out! Sometimes if you're unhappy with where your heading, you gotta pull a complete 180 and go hard in a different direction.
This was a very insightful look into MF DOOM’s full musical career. I discovered his music later in my life at a time that I felt like an outcast. MF DOOM’s music since then has really touched me in a way that mere words cannot express. Whether it be a specific life lesson, or just humorous connections between substance and people, and a collection of personas that mesh so incredibly interesting together. The numerous collaborations, as well as his many contributions to the rap and music industry have rightly made him an icon for so many other musicians. He is after all your favorite rappers favorite rapper. Moreover, MF DOOM has touched me with his music on a personal level, taught me lessons that I won’t soon forget, as well as re listening to his tracks as to reassure and reinstate said lessons. R.I.P to one of many talents taken from us way too soon, yet he’s always here with us at same time, just throw on that track and he’s there. ❤
3 deaths in music which made me break down in tears: Lennon, Cobain, Doom...legends. angels. also, doom is and has always been the best mc, the cat could rhyme without cursing if he wanted to because his vocabulary was huge! most creative and easily my 1 of top 5 favorites!
A bit of context on the last clip of him saying "It's really me!", The reason behind that clip is because during that time, MFDOOM was famous for hiring "stuntmen" of some kind in a mask to do his shows and concerts for him which people didn't like, although fit into his persona, but that also got the crowd hyped as HELL once they realized it was actually MFDOOM with the microphone
You seemed to miss that the whole shtick with the Dangermouse Jay-Z/Beatles mash-up was that it was The Black Album vs The White Album (for that's what the latter album is universally known as; not 'The Beatles')..... Thus The Grey Album.
Great stuff as usual, thank you for the comprehensive info! Wondering why you skipped over the death of his brother Dj Subroc as that was a pivotal moment for Daniel almost ending his career. I believe he moved down to Atlanta and when he came back as MF Doom years later his whole energy and outlook had shifted to make him the supervillain character so thought it was worth a mention in his origin story. I got to interview him in 2005 for the release of the Danger Mouse collaboration album The Man and the Mask, he was so humble and cool to talk to in person. May he rest in peace.
I still think it's hilarious that he had "live" shows where he'd just have some guy to wear his mask and lip sync over his live album. People were PISSED at the time but think it fits really well with his themes and humor.
Hold up, I thought Sub died when he was hit by a car after attempting to cross the Nassau Expressway…..? This is the first time I’m hearing he got shot 🤔
I wasn't massively into Hip Hop until the early 00s. Then I heard Operation Doomsday and Take me to Your Leader back to back and my mind couldn't believe it. It was like a hip hop album made specifically for me.
It was always weird that 4 years ago DOOM died. i was still steadily mourning the tragic death of my grandfather that happened a day before he past, then getting drunk in my house in new years eve saw the photo of him passing on the 31st and it hit even harder, and more so weird to know he died in Leeds, which is a 30 minute train ride from where I live. understandably a tortured poet, a curious enigma and most importantly, a super villain on the mic.
Love this documentary you made but I have a general question, I’m vibing off you background music while your narrating do you have the name of instrumentals
All the Special Herbs volumes have been staples of mine throughout my life when I used to do homework, and now when I need to zone in on a work project. Such a unique and classic sound
I remember brother man from his KMD days gas face to MF Doom... Very top notch MC. R.I.P to one of the most versatile creative M.C's to ever bless the Hip-Hop community 💐🙏🏾
I love the slice of time that gets captured in Madvillainy encompassing the early 2000's along with adult swim cartoons even going so far as to have the Master Shake character appear The Mouse and the Mask. I was introduced to MF DOOM through the Boondocks and hope to build up a collection of his discography.
you seem to be missing a huge and very important part of this story. when did his brother sub roc , die.??? wasnt it the reason that the second record was cancelled. that sent dumile into a spin. this is when he made plans to be a super villian rapper that doent sign with major labels and rails against the "good guys" omitting this negates your whole video..
It's crazy that you left out all of the Black Keys songs that Danger Mouse produced. He did their best albums. It's also insane that you didn't mention the 2 Czarface albums Doom did, technically his last albums.
I was at a after party scrolling thru my phone when I read he past away. I didn't want to believe it so I did more research and I broke down DOOM music helped me through dark times I seen him like a father. Luckily that new year day I was with comforting ppl
12:06 So true. I fell the same way. But I do see some light...brother Ali and crew...Atmosphere, Project blowed, those crew's are withstanding the test of time, imo. Del, kinda.

Videos like this are so awesome because they're called "What Really Happened to MF DOOM?" and then spend 10 minutes talking about irrelevant information before having a 1 minute section where they genuinely talk about what the title suggested this video was about where the youtuber doesn't give any meaningful or in-depth information and just bring us surface level facts that are commonly known. genuinely a useless video...
Shout out to adult swim for holding down hip hop and introducing people to artist that aren’t main stream but are respected legends. I know RTJ because of them
10:57 I think the mashup is supposed to be spoken as “The Black Album” by Jay-Z & “The White Album” by The Beatles. Clearly the color in the name of the album is what the mashup is meant to callback to.
i am a huge 3rd Bass fan, and been a fan of Doom since KMD days. i hope he is with Sub making music in Heaven. he exudes warmness in all his music, and it is a terrible terrible loss for music, but He was more than a rapper. He was one of the best authors in history. -1
