‘Ay yo yo, you can’t stand right there…’

 

This wasn’t the start to a new year anybody wanted, and since the passing of MF DOOM hit the hip hop community so hard, we decided to get together with other DOOM fanatics to remember the man, the myth, the legend that was Daniel Dumile.

 

So coming up we have writers, journalists, DJs, bloggers, YouTubers and historians in the mix to speak on DOOM, including Shawn Setaro, Dart Adams, Andrew Barber, Rob Pursey, Andrew Emery, Luke James, Yemi from Rhymes Like Dimes, Tom Shotgun the Aux and Chris from Breaking Atoms.

 

Get ready for some incredible love for KMD, remembering so MANY memorable lines and mesmerising beats, amazing stories of Doombots in Chicago and THAT Mass Appeal magazine cover (which may not be MF DOOM at all?! 😱). So much great insight on the legendary artist that was Zev Love X aka MF DOOM aka Viktor Vaughn aka King Geedorah.

 

R.I.P. to the Super Villain, an eternal resident in our Top 5 and certified hip hop legend.
