What's up with the colours of this blog?, one might ask. Well, I have gone through the yearly process of considering whether it's time to retire this unpopular endeavour, only to end up with a whole bunch of tracks I still feel the urge to make into an impeccably curated playlist, non-existant readers be damned! So here's yet another revamp. This time slightly sickly and dark, like the times. And since I haven't made a list since the news of his passing, I can't move on before posting a tribute to the creative genius of Daniel Dumile. DOOM will live forever!
Madvillain - Figaro
Beverly-Glenn Copeland - River Dreams
I considered putting nothing but MF DOOM tracks on today's list – and I certainly had enough candidates – but I liked the idea of spacing them out with some reflective, serene pieces, like a proper commemoration service.
MF DOOM ft. Mr. Fantastik - Rapp Snitch Knishes
Not only did DOOM build up a whole universe with different pseudonyms of his own, but he also introduced mystery collaborators. As far as I can figure out the identity of 'Mr. Fantastik' is still not known. Considering he almost manages to hold his own next to DOOM it's pretty insane that he's stayed anonymous, and hasn't – as the song would have it – snitched on himself.True, there's rules to this shit, fools dare careEverybody wanna rule the world with tears for fearYeah, yeah, tell 'em tell it on the mountain hillRunning up they mouth bill, everybody doubting still
Ana Roxanne - Suite Pour L'invisible
MF DOOM - That's That
Surgically splicing together more rhymes in a single line than some rappers use for an entire track, only to without warning disappear into an imaginary and imaginative parallell cartoon world. And that's that.
