I’ll leave you with my favourite quote from the great enigma, one that sums him up perfectly. Keep him in your airwaves as he looks down on us and smiles behind the mask. Like I said at the top, there’ll never be anyone to do it as DOOM did. We then discover this girl’s a redneck and the MC paints a hilarious picture as he takes her back to his truck to carry on, where she’s spitting out the sunroof between missing teeth as he pleasures her. The opening line also leans into his villainous flare, suggesting he robs the couples lining up to hop in after him and his girl. This three-line section, polishing off verse two, highlights the cheeky tales and outstanding flow that would define the villain’s career for many moons to come.įancying himself the player, MF insinuates he gets up to a whole lot more mischief in the booth than most others. To cap things off, we had to feature marvellous bars from ‘Doomsday’, Dumile’s debut track from his most revered persona. Finishing off deftly, MF licks his lips, letting us know their charred little bodies smell like well-cooked chicken. He then casually insinuates “That’ll get the party kicking”, imagining the other birds he shares the nest with flapping about as they’re burned alive by his lyrical wit, just like humans getting hype at a party. The bird nest in this case is New York City and by the time DOOM hit his strides, he’d literally set the place alight with his skill behind the mic. Running with this idea of personal development, he then rhymes “Started with a bird nest and burnt it to a cinder”. “Learnt from a pro as a mentor” is all about sending praise to the underworld, a place he now dwells in alongside his younger brother DJ Subroc (Dingilizwe Thompson Dumile), with whom he started his rap career as a member of KMD. From the get-go, DOOM is measured and meaningful, not giving an inch. ‘Guv’nor’ hits hard with marching drums and bell tones, thanks to Jarel’s tight production. A project that saw Dumile spit alongside close confidant Jneiro Jarel. Whilst we’re on the subject of aliases, meet JJ DOOM. What’s more, if you say it quickly enough “rocket off” sounds like “rocks off”. Dripping in double meaning, “had to set the rocket off” speaks to her Mum’s eagerness to get Viktor hard, whilst also inciting the thought that her mother was desperate to jump his bones and the risk of getting caught turned her on even further. “I told her knock it off, but she had to set the rocket off”. ![]() Cleverly, Viktor uses the age-old saying “throw the towel in” as a double entendre, leaning into the fact he couldn’t resist the maid advances, while also having to use a hotel towel to clean himself up after sex and shoot it in a laundry basket.īefore you’ve had time to come up for air, Vaughn comes again with some precocious phrasing. ![]() As Viktor fuels the flames of his ex’s jealousy, he recalls a time he slept with a maid named Carolyn as well as his ex’s mother. This four bar stanza we’ve chosen at the death is a clinic. ![]() Performing as Viktor Vaughan, one of his many alter-ego’s, he spits aggressively about a girl who has cheated on him, ironically with DOOM of all people. ‘Fancy Clown’ is a cryptic record buried deep on the stellar collaborative LP between MF DOOM and Madlib – Madvilliany. Appropriately, ‘Vomitspit’ features on the album “MM.FOOD”, an anagram of his most revered stage name. MF won’t consume any of the pop-rap rubbish the labels are trying to feed him, he’ll sit back and take it all with a grain of salt.įood and beverage references are plentiful throughout his catalogue and this play on “salt” is just another ode to his love of cuisine and wordplay. Adding salt to food brings flavour and that’s what he’s advocating for. DOOM wants the raps to stay pure, with no outside intervention. Here, a “bland ballad” is cheesy hip-hop, music that’s dumbed down by record label schmucks. “Eat a sand sandwich” is also another way of saying “bite the dust”, as Dumile lets listeners know he’ll never sell out and the only alternative would be calling his career quits. ![]() Obviously munching through a sand sandwich would be horrendous but DOOM would rather that, than swallow any record industry bullshit. Peel the onion back a little further and there’s a treasure chest of hidden meaning. DOOM loved a tongue twister and this one’s from the top shelf.
