Didn't one of these cats die after being hit by a car?? And wasn't there a fourth member??
I like MFDoom and all...'cause definitely w/o a doubt, he comes with the RAW-NESS, but dang, the mask scares the shit outta me sometimes...lol.
Just being honest...lol.
And it looks like Doom needs to touch up the facial hair a little bit to...lol.
kajuana- yeah the one in the middle died..."doom" was created from his experiences after that
dayrell- the whole point of the mask is to take what he looks like out of the equation...heres what he had to say about it... To me that's what the mask represents. It don't matter what we look like, it's just the sound of the music. The mask is the stiffest face - it don't change none, it just got that mean kind of look to it. So you want look at something? Look at that. It don't matter what I look like, what chain I got on, how I'm dressed, nothing - it's just the microphone and the spitfire, you know what I mean?
and about it being scary looking think of it like this...M.F. Doom character is really a combination of all villains throughout time. The classic villain with the mask - Phantom of the Opera-style, of course there's a little twist of Dr. Doom in there, even a little Destro from GI Joe. It's an icon of American culture. I kinda made it a mish-mash of all the villains together, and my last name is Dumile, so everyone used to call me Doom anyway. It's a parody of all the villains. The villain always returns, the mask, that kind of thing. Through the way these comics are written, it always shows you the duality of things, how the bad guy ain't really a bad guy if you look at it from his perspective. Through that style of writing, I kinda was like, if I flip that into hip-hop, that's something niggas ain't do yet? I was looking for an angle that would be brand new. That's when I came up with the character, worked out he kinks and that's the Villain.
From their point of the view, we're the villains. But I'm the Super-Villain. All caps. -doom
Always dropping the knowledge...I'll keep you posted
Uhm..who are they???
In my former life, I toiled about being a rapper and thought what a cool gimmick it would be to be a rapper with facial paint, like KISS. So I'm definitely feeling the mask concept. This is the first time I'm hearing or seeing anything in relation to this rapper.
Oooooooooh *bells ringing in head*...I got it now! That's very interesting to know? I never knew the "real" concept behind the mask, although I've been listening to Doom for a while now. That's deep....REALLY deep. And also creative. I'm definitely feelin' the concept. Well surrounding all else...Doom will always be the ish in my book.
Thanks for the info Archangel! :)
