Rhoda 7,106 Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 Remember, when you spell his name it's ALL CAPS. A true artist. Here is a photo of him holding some macaroni and cheese. 5 Link to post Share on other sites
LeakyLine 8,138 Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 I don't get emotional with celebrity deaths often... Or at all, really. Actually sat down and had to process this one. DOOM's my favorite rapper... Been listening to him since I was a kid. This one f*cking hurts. A lot. 3 Link to post Share on other sites
Zello 20,333 Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 So apparently he died in October. Crazy how they were able to keep this a secret for this long. 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. Scratch 11,276 Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 2020 had to deliver one final kick in the balls. RIP DOOM. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I have a lot of respect for anybody that knew and kept it private so the family could grieve. Obviously speculation is going to run wild about the circumstances surrounding his passing, but I'm glad that his wife has at least had some time to process things. I think today I'm going to revisit some King Geedorah and Viktor Vaughn releases. If you're a casual fan of DOOM at the very least, you can't go wrong with exploring these aliases. It's some of his best work. Link to post Share on other sites
RenegadeAngel 2,798 Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 Absolutely gutted. Somewhere deep inside I still hope that it's all just a massive show, because if there is one artist that can pull something like this off, it's DOOM. Rest easy, villain. Link to post Share on other sites
Rhoda 7,106 Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 I saw somebody (well, many people) say that for him to die on Halloween and for nobody to know until now is very fitting with the type of character he was. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites
98 in 1 7,055 Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 gone too soon man, like Rhoda said though it is very fitting that his passing was under wraps for 2 whole months. dude was on a whole nother level with the mysteriousness. definitely one of the best wordsmiths to grace the game no doubt 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Mister Pink 12,216 Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 (edited) This is shocking. I was wondering why I saw a photo of El-P posting an old image of him saying MF Doom was the GOAT. Didn't hear the news until I saw this thread. Edit, also to think he has a new track in GTA Online I supposed released posthumously without us knowing. It's kind of sadder. https://pitchfork.com/news/mf-doom-and-badbadnotgood-share-new-song-from-grand-theft-auto-listen/ Edited January 1 by Mister Pink 3 Link to post Share on other sites
vcfan1991 99 Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 I always liked the Special Herbs collection the most... Doom knew how to chop up real well on the SP 303 or whatever it was he used... I saw him once at a show in NZ maybe 9 years ago. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
DownInThePMs 2,452 Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 His stuff with madlib is always dope. Madvillainy is one of my favorite albums of all time RIP 1 Link to post Share on other sites
SonofLosSantos 5,239 Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 I remember I found his DANGERDOOM album on of my dads old iPods when I was about 10. I loved it especially because I loved ATHF. He was always an interesting character to me, and in my young mind I really thought he was some sort of comic book villain. Seeing him host the Christmas special on adult swim and stuff. Idk... this sh*t just feels weird, especially because I was listening to his music the other day and I thought to myself, “damn, I wonder what’s gonna happen when doom dies?” And by that time, unbeknownst to everyone he had already been dead for two months. long live MONEY FOLDER DOOM 3 Link to post Share on other sites
