Note: no, your it didn’t glitch, the Quincy Jones sample caused a full block, a month after this was released, so I had to edit it out.
Glad you were able to get this banger back up
Glad it’s up again.
SMH disgusting greedy people. All a sample does is open up their catalogue again why they so butt hurt this many
Years. Thank you for this brother all
My comments on the madvillainy album.
Kmd’s first albums was tough for us in the city during its first run. Not only
The samples but the lyrical content was hard and clear for us (black folks in the nyc hood of that lyrical back pack time) especially in what we were dealing with socially in nyc and in the country. Anyway thank you.
@@burningspear90 half of my music collection is from hip hop samples.
Say, what's the instrumental playing in the background at 6:50 called???
Been looking for a while now...
Id really appreciate it if you could help...
For anyone who hasn't gone through MF DOOM's discography yet, it's a rabbit hole, believe me. His music to this day is so incredibly unique. Everything about him is so non-conformist and strange that you can't help but listen. RIP Dumile
He truly was one of a kind. Rest in power DOOM
Listening to Kmd zev love x and hearing DOOMS evolution is crazy, what he did was far beyond music but a way of living to him crazy how just about all hip hop went from “gangsters” to villains
Its why he will forever be one of the top 3 artists ill ever suggest to represent hip hop. Nothing like it before or since.
@@1NAL1F3L0V3 X Evol vez into DOOM
I dont want to open the sealed box : )
Dude, at this rate you're going to become one of the biggest music channels on TH-cam by the end of the year! The content is quality, unique and consistent. Keep it up!
🙏🙏
@@diggingthegreatsfor sure I love the way you incorporate the story to the music 🫱🏾🫲🏽💯💯
@@diggingthegreats When aliens come to destroy our planet but research our culture your work will save us. Our music is intentional, complex, humble, hateful, boastful, passionate, intelligent, rigid, fluid, clever, stupid etc...but 💯 real just like the human experience. Hip Hop is the greatest art form of all time.
I hope bro does become the big music guy
I remember seeing doom in the early 2000 in LA. I remember he was like almost 2hours late, but when he finally came it was amazing. Next thing you know someone next to us was rapping the lyrics to all his songs, that man was mos def.
No way.
Was this at the El Rey Theatre, the opening act was dress up like robots then got jump on stage?
@@JJ-ui3bi not sure about the first line up cause I was still in line to get in, but yeah it was the El Rey
there's a vid here somewhere of mos def nerding out on doom
@@littleoldal yeah bro just search "mos def a fan of MF DOOM"
this album is just buttery slickness
The land o lakes!!
Totally unmatched
Buttery is the perfect adjective lol
Applesauce!!!
Haha yeah, yeaaaaaah
One of the best underground albums of all time dropped on one of the greatest underground labels of all time. RIP M.F. Doom!
All Caps when you say the man name!!

got that shit on wax the week it dropped!!! bring back old NY!!!!!
@@nine27 i went to the record store every week to check for new releases (pre-internet days). Remember the week „Operation Doomsday“ dropped on Fondle ’Em Records. They only had one copy of „Operation Doomsday“ and a friend of mine bought it. Ended up trading it with him later for a copy of „Mecca And The Soul Brother“ i had doubles of. Mind you, this was a fair trade at the time as „Mecca And The Soul Brother“ was long out of print at the time and was even more expensive as well as a 2nd hand copy. Good memories though..
Something to note that im sure MANY will have understood by now is the grave/gravestone double entendre with his name. "Dumile" sounding eerily like "Doom'll lay" being... doom'll lay 6 fit deep. On top of the rhyme scheme, he made his last name have a double entendre whil rhyming everything together.. there's a reason everyone loves Hip-Hop's most mad villain to date. R.I.P to the legend.
Also "unmarked or engraved" on his tombstone meaning he'll either die a success or unknown, going down with his body either being "unmarked or engraved" by his struggles or not going down without a fight. DOOM has the most dense lyricism you feel like you can analyse his tracks for hours.
@@kodiacstephens8104 seriously. I didnt even think or catch that little detail in the rhyme. Insane!
LAYERS!
Dumile is a name meaning “famous” or “well known” in isiZulu or other Nguni languages including isiNdebele of which I think his Zimbabwean father is. Dumile is also pronounced a little like his stage name, Doom-ee-leh. Dumile is also not a surname.
Still listen to all of DOOM’s albums often. He passed away to early. His collaborations w/ Czarface are some of the best Hip-Hop in the past five years. The loss cannot be measured.
very true, Czarface seemed like DLC with major focus on pop culture and comic references.
Love the Czarface collabs! Shits🔥🔥🔥🔥
I remember browsing thru some boring shit in the record shop and just as I was about to leave empty-handed the store owner handed me doomsday that just had come out. My perception of hiphop music changed right there forever.
That Gas Drawls comparison was nuts. He honed in on his skill so much in a short period of time.
Sidenote: Love this channel, glad its getting bigger. Great videos.
I’m honestly ashamed to have just discovered Doom. I really missed out😢
@bugizm9150; I know you're new to DOOM, but from here on out just remember, it's all caps when you spell the man name. R.I.P. DOOM!!!
@@GISamurai YOUR GODAMN RIGHT
Thank you for making a video on this, it’s my favourite album of all time
I got the notification for this video and clicked immediately. DTG does not disappoint.
🔥🔥🔥
"Your favorite MC's favorite MC" Statement of the day.
It’s great to see a video like this. A lot of the videos on DOOM now are from people who don’t know hip hop, who have a very shallow level of understanding of the genre, giving the videos one dimensional elements (mainly due to his explosion in recent years). This is different, as I know well by now that digging the greats is full of knowledge and taste. I’m 14, and I’ve been bumping DOOM since 10, can’t wait to sit back and watch this. Peace from Ireland 💪
Much love from the US my friend 🙏
@@diggingthegreats i wish i could get my oldest son to listen to doom🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️
You are very well articulated and knowledgeable just going of your comment for only 14. Keep up the good work g
couple years ago, my now 16 yr old niece put on her playlist during a family vacation, and there were some great songs, including doom.
I'm sure she can't need out about music yet, but I was very happy internally.
there's a nice +2 hour mix dj skratch bastid put up on ny day, dooms day, the day most of us heard the sad news.
highly recommended.
THIS SHIT IS SO GOOD! I haven't heard many of Mf Doom's stuff but vids like these really make me feel like im missing out. Amazing stuff man!
Incredible album - Check the Spotify Listening guide in the description - it's essentially the full album along with the songs I mention in this video 🔥
MF Doom recorded under aliases sometimes - check for King Geedorah "Take Me to Your Leader" and Viktor vaughn "Villainous Villain" they are awesome!
DOOM's "Madvillian" collaboration album with Madlib is perhaps one of the greatest albums of all time. They perfectly balanced each others artistic strengths and made magic together.
all caps when you spell the man name MF DOOM
Same! Never heard any of Doom's music, but based off the strength of the samples alone I wanna hear this album to start!
This album immediately became an all-time favorite, when I realized exactly what it was back around '99. KMD was one of my favorites, and just realizing what this guy did on this album, blew my freaking mind. I always explained to people that this was his grief on record, and a middle finger to the music industry.
Agreed
I had KMD's first album on cassette and played it every day. Most hip-hop fans didn't like that style of rap. I bought it after seeing their first video on "Yo! MTV Raps."
MF DOOM - артист с одной из самых интересных историй, человек брошенный индустрией придумал супергероя и стал легендой хип-хоп культуры!
суперзлодей на самом деле
I'm not even Russian I used the dictionary to write this response😂
@@theunknow461what does ur reply say lol
I’m case you didn’t know or if anyone didn’t know… after the album got shelved . Dumile got Depressed and was drinking everyday of his life until he Met MF GRIMM. A rhyme master at the time in Ny who was battling I believe and was good too. And he didn’t come up with the name himself . Both him and Grimm settled on Doom. Because of his history in Marvel Comics. Doom coming back as a villain not a hero when he came back with powers . And the title MF was given to him by Grimm wich stands for Mad Flows . He is not the only one with the title MF Mez etc etc other members as well. Doom flipped the name later on to Metal Fingers Doom on production notes henceforth metal fingers special blends the beat tapes. All in all someone picked up this man from the ground when he was down bad, real shit Doom was homeless, I never hear anybody talk about MF Grimm that’s sad cause they used to be best friends. And we’re beefing at the end kind of before he passed away. LLDoom🕊️. Big Ups to Jet Jaguar ( MF Grimm ) and the Monsta Island Csarz!
I used to do class reports on DOOM way back before it was “cool” to like his stuff. I love the way you broke down this album
Just appreciate the art, and let others enjoy DOOM too bro. I’m the same way but I now understand to not be a gatekeeper.
been waiting on some DOOM content from you!
This album made me go buy a SP 404 and try to make lofi hip hop. Another great video.
This right here. Finally, the DOOM story told in a coherent narrative. And it doesn’t “ruin the joke by explaining it”, it enriches it. Btw I’ve been a huge fan of this channel for a while now, i could tell pretty early on, that the ideas here were on a trajectory going towards some amazing unique material and my expectations now have been so incredibly surpassed, that this art analysis becomes art in its own right.
At 9.06 you claim that 'Clementine' and 'Valentine' is a 3 syllable rhyme...
But, the actual rhyme from DOOM is - 'Oh my Darling Clementine - He hold his Heart when he Telling Rhyme'... it's a SEVEN SYLLABLE RHYME. Yes, 7.
You should annotate this in the vid. x
You're really good at this dude
🙏🙏
I have waited a long time for a breakdown about MF DOOM. So so unique guy. Thank you! I hope you can make a video about Madvillainy, a hip hop masterpiece, one of the greatest album of all time by one of the most complex musical genius. Rest in beats DOOM, a legend.

You never disappoint, my friend.

It was about time for this channel to honor the late great MF DOOM. Interesting digging as always, man.
DOOM in full effect
RIP to a legend man..If nothing else, never forget….always use ALL CAPS WHEN YOU SPELL THE MAN NAME!
🕊️ 🙏🏽 🕊️
RIP DOOM
Been on yet another DOOM music binge lately, so this video is perfect timing 🤣 Rest in Power to the SuperVillain!
I’ve never heard of MF Doom and was surprised to hear he passed away in 2020. The lyrics about being with his brother hits a bit harder.
All caps please...all caps.
DOOM
@@hegemonycricket2182 who cares how someone types his name smh. his name wasn't even stylized in all caps on the early releases
@@machiventa858 DOOM
@@machiventa858 just remember, all caps when you spell the man's name
@@hegemonycricket2182 shut up fanboy
I really like your work, from the content to the delivery, the style, visuals... amazing quality
And just saying, I would love an episode about ODB's Return to the 36 Chambers, or a song from it like Going down or else
Peace and ❤ from France
You need to break down the song he did with de la soul, love the pacing and choices on that track
🥰 Mmmmm... a personal favorite of mine, too! The rhymes, flows and beat are just _incredible._ Not to mention the way they wind their verses around each other.
I rewatch their performance of it on late-night on the regular.
Loved this my dawg!!! RIP TO THE VILLAIN. May he dance in heaven with his brother forever!
Wondering if you would ever do a Madvillainy breakdown? 👀👀It’s such an amazing project. From that album I discovered Sun-Ra, who would also be a great candidate for a DTG episode lol.
🙏🏾🙏🏾🖤🖤
Always wanted to see a video from you about Black Bastards but this is the next best thing. Its great to hear such a tragic, interesting and almost cinematic story covered on this channel
Most amazing rapper ever! Thx for this great video! R.I.P DOOM ♥
DOOM really was one of a kind, had his own unique sound.
This is the video I've been waiting for you to make and it did not disappoint.
🙏🙏🙏
I was looking up the lyric to what it would say on his tomb about two hours after he passed. Was the most surreal experience. R.I.P DOOM.
Maybe I'm trippin and it's just a cartoon to you. But I got chills when I heard how DOOM flipped the Scooby Doo.
ever since i started watching you i’ve been introduced to so many amazing artists i wouldn’t have ever found before. Tribe, De La Soul, The Roots, Questlove etc. you’re a legend sir thankyou 🙏
Love the roots I saw them live recently and they were INSANE
I can see you at the top already
Locked and steady like cutting butter with a machete
Unnecessary, violence for the necessity
DTG for the win watching these make me wish I was a rapper in that era
I love how the author of this video explains how a complex rap poem works by using fundamental technical terms. They are accurately explained. You can tell he is hip to both chambers. At first it could sound silly, but he respects both sides, and it's factual. He could explain these things to a fan, musician, critic, anyone...
I remember hearing DOOM's "Mmm Food?" album back in 2005 when one of my friends put me onto him; been a fan ever since, and have been digging through the rabbit hole ever since. Dudes not only a beast on the lyrics but also with the beats and just creating dope albums all around. It hit me hard when I learned of his passing, played a lot of his stuff for like a month. Thanks for this video man! RIP DOOM!
The first time I listened to mm food I was sucked in, I felt like I discovered a whole new universe
Been waiting in this! I know you would get around to MF Doom eventually. You’ve got impeccable taste!
ZEV LOVE X
man MF DOOM is the best. Shouts out DTG
DOOM definetly the epitome of special kind of breed. Along with KoolGrap and Rakim for me top 3 pioneers. Salute Rip MF
Ngl I love DOOM, and this video made me cry thank you🙏🏽🙏🏽❤️
Been a MF Doom fan for a while now, but there’s still so much I’ve learned from your video! I really appreciate your content, keep up the great work ☺️
I LOVE MF DOOM, but I never realized his name's MF DOOM because his real name is Dumile
There are endless connections - the biggest challenge with this video was drawing a line of where to stop so I can keep it a watchable and cohesive video. For instance, the lyric "Right above my government, Dumile" - right above my government name, Dumile, got it - but also it could be interpreted as "DOOM I lay" which, considering it's the first song on the album as this character, feels like it's intentional. Spotify's lyrics even list it this way.
All of that to say - I love talking about music and analyzing things, it helps me understand and appreciate it better. But when it comes to my own listening, I gotta drop all the labels and everything and just enjoy it.
RIP DOOM
Great video! Very happy to finally see some DOOM content. The way DOOM created his own universe in each record and then created multiple characters who lived in their own universes is unparallelled imo. Competing with himself cos nobody else could touch him.
Best rapper - MF DOOM
Best beat maker - Dilla
I'll die on this hill.
DTG with another fire video 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
This is magnificent
Great breakdown, as always. And with such a dope figure and pivotal album.
Yasiin is a fan too, as videos on here will show. From doing DOOM rhymes in the studio, to performing Figaro and Meat Grinder live with Robert Glasper, Chris Dave and Derrick Hodge. Not to mention his bars on JID's song Stars - he sounds a lot like DOOM on that song.

Thank you so much for these invaluable incites into one of my favorite artists! I learned so much. RIP MF Doom!
I thought I knew my 90s hip hop but this is a new one for me. Thank for sharing. Looks like a fun and interesting rabbit hole to go travelling down.
If you weren't hip to DOOM, you probably still heard his beats on some Wu-Tang members solo albums. Also, Operation Doomsday was only the beginning. Check Madvillainy and MM... Food.
You channel is the Best!!!!!!!!! Only Music!!!!!!! Thank's Sree Khrisna!!!!!
He always seemed directly inspired by Rammellzee to me- and of course the comic book thing.
Most DOOM fans ain't knowin - RΑΜΜ-ΣLL-ΖΣΣ 🤘😜🤘
It always came across as a lucky Lark to me. of course a classic lucky lark - we were all left empty after KMD dissolved EXCEL SI SORE
1, at the time of his debut album the mask he used was a cut Kane mask that was spray painted grey, 2, that last line of the first song IS a reference to “it’s a bird, it’s a name” but it’s also a callback to his references to jeopardy earlier in the track
His plan worked... I never thought he'd pull it off but he was right... this is like watching ant's being amazed at a sugar cube. There is no mystique to Doom's plan, he was very straight forward, he was just above your heads. I tip my hat to him for doubting him after that Adult Swim run... in the end... this end, he has been right. But Doom is not finished.
Thank you for this. I was late to DOOM noticing him from the Grind Date album and then realized he's everywhere. Was listening to Chrome Children earlier. I appreciate your love of the craft.
I love MF DOOM, I love the DIGGING THE GREATS TH-cam channel! I LOVE THIS VIDEO!!!
One of the greatest TH-cam channels period.
Excellent job on this short doc on the Supervillain (RIP). His uniqueness and the universe he created leads me to think of George Clinton's vision during thr heyday of Parliament-Funkadelic. Characters, story lines, etc. 🤘
I'm cool that everyone loves DOOM. He was pretty good, but a LOT of his sampling was stuff that was already done before.
Like that The Deele sample was used by Kwest the Madd Ladd on I Met My Baby at the V.I.M. and Lord Finesse did that Scooby sample for You Know What I'm About by Lord Finesse off the Trespass soundtrack.
I love to see people love hip hop but I'm not gonna be sold that his projects were these far out super original pieces of work.
Love YOUR vids though and this was a great watch. 👍🏼
I found your channel last night and searched to see if you had made any videos about MF DOOM. Scary timing, but I'm not complaining!
I'm all up in your algorithm 😂
Synchronicity is a wonderful thing! 😁 That kinda thing happens to me _all the time..._ spooky.
Fun fact: His wife didn’t call him Daniel… and nobody actually seems to be able to pin down what his real name is.
His immigration paperwork, his school record, and his arrest paperwork don’t actually match up. Some say he’s Daniel Dumile, Dumile Dumile, Dumile Daniel,and something else I can’t remember.
I always saw DOOM as the next step on a road of inhabiting characters paved by P Funk and later Shock G RIP.
when u slowed down DOOM's vocals, he sounded a lot like ghostface.
interestingly enough, on a flight where they were sitting next to each other (sounds like a dream, right? lmao) DOOM told ghostface that he modeled his whole abstract style after him. it may sound subtle when u hear DOOM in passing, but when u slow it down like that it's REALLY evident
Woo! Finally. It's great that you actually listen to your fans!
I gotchu 🫵
Legend also says that dooms name is still written under that top bunk to this day.
At 07:30, he says MFDoom compares rap to selling drugs, i immediatly remembered Nas' line on NY State of mind when he says "somehow the rap game reminds of the crack game", and then i look behind him, there's a Nas' backstage pass 😵
if you dont listen to capital steez already, i think you’d really like him. amerikkkan korruption is great and he reminds me of mf doom, de la soul, a tribe called quest, j dilla, and big L, pete rock, souls of mischief etc
Imagine had his brother not passed and they were able to carry out those alternative characters
I knew most of this stuff already but as a DOOM fan I fiend for the content lmao None the less great work and excellent video. I would recommend this to new fans certainly
The funniest part about MF is that I only discovered him because of adultswim lmao.
The original Gas Drawls was Zev Love X morphing into MF DOOM. I pray there is a part 2 of this video
Mannnnn, I don’t know if this has anything to do with my recent comment asking you to do an MF DOOM video but hell yeah thank you!
Finally, the long awaited DOOM video!
I’ve watched a lot of mf doom related video and been down the rabbit hole for awhile but this as been the best video. Good job. Now time for madvillainy.
Another great video, sir. So much respect for what you do here. Fingers crossed you make the jump to Madvillainy to round out Doom’s too short story arc. 🙌🏼
I'd love for someone to do a video on the decline of DJ scratching in modern rap music, i dont notice it anymore apart from Preemo beats
you guys gotta cover elzhi. not sure what project but hes absolutely incredible.
Can you please make a video unpacking the references in this man's music? They're so obscure, and I've never really gotten them. I would love nothing more ❤
Hay, I've been waiting for a DOOM vid 🙏🙏🙏
Amazing video as usual :) RIP DOOM
This was excellent!
It begs the question.
When these artists perform under an identity, which they all are because of “stage names.”
When the artist’s stage name dies, or that persona dies, does that necessarily mean that the “real person” has too?
good question!
This channel is SUCH A GEM. The production quality/knowledge is mesmerizing to watch/listen to!
Would love to see you do a video on Raphael Saadiq some day! That guy is not celebrated enough and I feel like it's hard to keep up on all the amazing projects he's been on. Lucy Pearl, Tony Tone Toni, D'Angelo stuff, what's the deal with this guyyy
Dude please do more DOOM content, I feel like you’d have a ball with all his other bodies of work! Rest in Power DOOM 🙏🏼
I second this 🙏🏾🙏🏾
A Madvillainy breakdown would be unprecedented!
Thank you for pronouncing Subroc's first name properly, not that I would expect you to blunder on that. Too many times I've heard people just pathetically attempt to pronounce his name (and their last names) and some of the things they come up with make my head spin lol.
Personally, the worst example I've seen was from that Michael McCrudden guy who does the "Before They Were Famous/Dead/Etc." videos. His pronunciation? DINGLES-WEE. I am not kidding, that's how he said it 😩
Perfection. I don't even want to speak on it any more than that. This breakdown was Perfection. Thank you, brother ;D
Rest in Beats, MF DOOM 🙏
Shot out to my father on that album cover for the The Deele, his credit is the art direction.
I'd love to hear your thoughts on Beastie Boy's "Paul's Boutique"
Great breakdown.. inspiration!
The first hip hip group my dad put me on when i was little was KMD
