Honestly, it doesn't even feel like there's a proper way to elegize an eccentric and extremely talented artist such as MF DOOM, who meant so much to so many of us for so many years for so many different reasons as truly unique as DOOM himself. So, what better way to pay tribute to The Man, The Myth, THE MASK himself than by speaking to those closest to him? With a heavy heart, I proudly present Shadows of Tomorrow; a new recurring column in tribute to DOOM in an effort to re-tell the tall tales, strange stories, and lesser-known tidbits of The Metal Face Villain himself. R.I.P. Daniel "MF DOOM" Dumile Thompson.
"I made the album in 24 [hours] right after I heard he passed. All original beats made [in the] same day, minus an old remix ("2 Stings") on my other remix album, A.O.D. (Age of Destruction.) I've been a fan since one of my best friends told me about him late one night on the phone. He introduced me to the song "Accordion" by MADVILLAIN. My mind... BLOWN. Ever since then, I've been a fan and his music [helped] make mine better. [DOOM's] sound has always been an inspiration to my music. I felt I needed to do a tribute remix tape for The Villain. He died on Halloween 2020. RIP to one of my IDOLS and Hip-Hop legend, MF DOOM."
