Have a Gay Old Time: The clips used in the intro to Batty Boyz.Frame Break: In the music video for All Caps (which takes the form of an animated comicbook), the main character escapes from confinement by jumping hard enough to break through the bottom of every panel all the way down to the bottom of the page.All subsequent masks would instead be based off of a metal prop mask from Gladiator.

In honor of him, the block hosted a marathon of the OFWGKTA series Loiter Squad, a show he helped work on as he was friends with the collective, on New Year's Day 2021. He was a major supporter and friend of Adult Swim, having worked on several music products with them (namely the aforementioned DANGERDOOM project). On December 31st, 2020, Dumile's wife announced on social media that he had died on October 31st, 2020 at the age of 49 this was later confirmed by his representative. While his work with Madlib under the name Madvillain is far and away the most popular of these projects, seeing as the single work they made ( Madvillainy) is regularly deemed one of the greatest rap albums of all time, he'd also tag-team with names including Danger Mouse (DANGERDOOM), Jneiro Jarel (JJ DOOM), Bishop Nehru (NehruvianDOOM) and Czarface. Throughout the 2000s and 2010s, MF DOOM's name would find another avenue of circulation among newer schools of hip-hop through a slew of collaborations with producers and other rappers, each with one or two releases to their name. DOOM maintains a good degree of popularity in both underground and mainstream hip-hop circles. The potential for Narm in this is tempered by DOOM's lyrical skill and playfulness and support by a range of excellent producers. In addition to the Fantastic Four mythos from which his identity was borrowed (and from where he got a lot of hilarious samples of people complaining about "Doom"), he was fond of Star Trek, commonly comparing himself to Worf. His lyrics are marked by a vast knowledge of popular culture, and commonly allude to Science Fiction, Fantasy, Western Animation, and Comic Book characters. DOOM consistently wore a now-iconic mask after he returned to performing, modeled after Maximus Decimus Meridius' mask from Gladiator it is nearly impossible to find pictures of him from after 1998 or so in which he shows his face.ĭOOM's raps often play with the ideas of the Super Hero and Super Villain, or use those tropes to deconstruct hip-hop culture. When he recovered and returned to the world of hip-hop, he adopted the identity of MF DOOM, an Expy of the Fantastic Four villain Doctor Doom. If this sounds like a Super Villain origin story, well, the similarity didn't escape him, either.
He eventually became homeless on the streets of New York in interviews, he described himself in this period as "recovering from his wounds" and swearing revenge "against the industry that so badly deformed him." However, the tragic loss of his brother in a car accident, along with the shelving of KMD's album Black Bastards for its contemptible cover in 1994, caused him to retreat from the hip-hop world and sink into a deep depression. MF DOOM (also known as DOOM, Viktor Vaughn, King Geedorah, etc.) was a particularly Troperiffic rapper.ĭOOM, born Daniel Dumile (JOctober 31, 2020) had some success as a rapper in the early '90s in his group KMD under the name Zev Love X.
