THEN PLEASE
THIS IS NOT A MONEY MAKING EXERCISE
IT HAS BEEN DONE PURELY FOR
THE LOVE OF MUSIC
AND WE ARE HAVING AN ABSOLUTE BLAST
BELOW YOU WILL FIND LINKS TO THE FEATURED ARTISTS ALONG WITH BASIC NOTES EXPLAINING MUSICAL CHOICES AND INSPIRATIONS
VAUDEVILLE VILLAIN - (VICTOR VAUGHN)
Victor Vaughn is one of the more obvious aliases for the recently deceased Daniel Dumile/MF DOOM. I've recently (re)discovered that his first pseudonym was Zev Love X. This was as a guest on the Gas Face 12" by 3rd Base, which I used for the TOOTING BEC VINYL JOURNEY, a very early mix that I put together when I lived in.....Tooting Bec.
WHO DO YOU THINK I AM? - MF DOOM
The actual title includes reference to the following (K.D., King Ghidra, Kong, Megalon, Rodan & X-Ray), but due to the constraints of my design format have decided to cut this out in favour of including all the info. here.
THE FINE PRINT - (KING GEEDORAH)
This alternate persona comes with a variety of different spellings, but I'm sure they all reference the same multi-headed winged monster from outer space.
I've featured MF DOOM before on multiple shows, but have only incorporated one other track by King Ghidorah before on WHATS IN THE AIR planetmeech?.
Daniel Dumile in this guise does make an appearance on my EASTERN (HIP HOP) PHILOSOPHY) show, but as a guest performer on an MF DOOM track?
ANGELZ (FEAT. GHOSTFACE KILLAH) - MF DOOM
Gold!
DRAGONS BLOOD + CAYENNE = 1000 DEGREES - MF DOOM/MF GRIMM
Seems we have another fan of the Marvel (pre) cinematic universe. I'm not sure/can't remember if the MF moniker refers to Mad Flows or a Metal Face. Since Grimm appears to favour the unmasked approach, I would opt for the former.
ANTI MATTER (FEAT. MR. FANTASTIK) - (KING GEEDORAH)
Welcome use of the trademark Japanese Monster screech.
The identity of Mr. Fantastik is still a mystery amongst the community of DOOM fans it appears, even after nearly twenty years!
7L, Esoteric & Inspectah Deck first featured as Czarface on my MEECH-TANG CLAN show, the link up with Doom though ticks yet more boxes and helps weave an intricate pattern throughout my library of shows.
ALL CAPS - MADVILLAIN (MADLIB & MF DOOM)
From the Madvillainy album, which tends to be referred to as the ultimate MF DOOM record.
THE ILLEST VILLAINS - MADVILLAIN (MADLIB & MF DOOM)
The word on the street is that they had already finished a follow up to this album before the tragic recent events.
Very pleased to hear this sampling Milton Wright, who will be making an appearance on my MEECHSPLOITATION 6 show.
With all these alter ego's and pseudonyms flying around, I'm tempted to adopt a Marvel inspired tag for myself, but can't think of anything at the moment.
ABSOLUTELY (FEAT. MADLIB) - MF DOOM
Not to be confused with Madvillain?? I'm confused though.
This was subbed in to replace a track that had been butchered in post production to remove all the profanity. I'm guessing this was an attempt to make it more radio friendly, but the result was just terrible! This song about Sci-Fi gardening tools by Doom's cartoon persona is much more palatable to the ear.
CAPTAIN CRUNCH - CZARFACE & MF DOOM
Lots more to explore here, and to develop for forthcoming projects possibly...
AMERICA'S MOST BLUNTED (QUASIMOTO) - MADVILLAIN (MADLIB & MF DOOM)
Welcome to the show Mr. Quasimoto, thanks for your input.
Sorry, that sounds really sarcastic, not intended at all.
MEATHEAD (FEAT. MF DOOM) - BISHOP NEHRU
Doom only acting as a guest here it would seem, but this sets us up for the full on colab. below.
THE ORIGINAL (NINJA B MIX) - MF DOOM
Paradoxically still referred to as the original, even though it labelled as a remix?
Now for that collaboration.
CURLS - MADVILLAIN (MADLIB & MF DOOM)
Steel drums and a wurlitzer - genius!
Peace!
RAINBOWS - MADVILLAIN (MADLIB & MF DOOM)
Breaking it down for the sake of it.
I don't drink beer myself at the moment, but look forward to the day when I can walk into a pub and order probably more than One Beer.
That feeling you get when you hear a reference to Jet Jaguar in a rap verse!😃
Jet Jaguar has meant a great deal to me ever since first watching
Godzilla Vs Megalon many, many years ago.
Skinner, my fellow student in graphic design awarded me a Jet Jaguar totem in recognition of this, which used to sit proudly on my drawing board. You'll be pleased to hear that it/he now watches over my every move in my current set-up.
Have just seen a forum that sings the praises of this much cherished 12" from the first MF DOOM project, so I'm very pleased to be including it here.
GAZZILLION EAR (FEAT. J DILLA) - MF DOOM
Forget Batman Vs Superman, here we have two true superheroes of Hip Hop, united for the fight to bring Beats to the universe.
Although Daniel Dumile has sadly left this planet, I suspect MF DOOM will live on...
