Shadows of Tomorrow: BIG GHOST LIMITED Shares His Illustrious Thoughts On DOOM's Life, Death & Career (MF DOOM Tribute)

CREDIT: KARISSA KANESHIRO (@karissakaneshiro)

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.

"The difference between talent and genius. The significance of some artists' bodies of work cannot be measured or quantified by man-made instruments or hypotheses... it's like accurately guessing how many people on the planet see the same star in the night sky at the same time. If time wasnt the abstract construct we all already [know] it is... we might not be able to make the comparison that there are not only beings on this planet who appear to shine brighter than others... the "stars," if you will.. but, also, ones who appear to move across the celestial landscape of the night sky in a less predictable manner... like shooting stars. This ain't no actual Astronomy lesson, so I don't wanna get into how "shooting stars" ain't ACTUAL stars or nothin' like that..."


"I'm just speaking strictly metaphorically here. What if every second was 100 years somewhere else in The Universe... more than the average human lifespan on Earth? That star you see zip past in the night sky don't even stick around for a full second.. but you compare the impact that that shooting star had on you vs. seeing some regular sh*t, like Sirius or Andromeda or them super-poppin' sh*ts, like Polaris or Betelgeuse... like the STAR stars... compare that feeling to seeing that one METEOR disguised as a star that caught your attention [and] the impact it left on however many people caught it [and] multiply that sh*t by whatever unit of measurement is used to determine the nonlinear paths of MF's without any reciprocal slopes or parallels other than the ones they made..."


"The mysteries they created... the identities they assumed... the worlds they manipulated like balls of Play-Doh... and multiply that by 500 zillion [and] then divide it by porcupine to accurately calculate that sh*t. The positive or negative impacts of artists like JAY-Z or 2Pac or Eminem are lowkey quantifiable. We can guess... artists like #MFDOOM introduced the element of the unknown to a culture that was obsessed [with] knowing everything 'bout artists [and] being able to follow predictable linear A to B to C patterns [and] flipped all that sh*t upside down. [...] I think DOOM was just flat out a one of one... the first to do all types of things with his artistry that would be influential to all types of MF's who were influenced in all types of ways for longer than most artists tend to be influential for."


"He was the antithesis of super-stars like Hov [JAY-Z] or Eminem... you hardly ever saw his face, he had no hits or plaques, he had no Rihanna [collaborations]... yet he had just as much impact on Hip-Hop as either of 'em. If you removed his DNA from the culture... you would be wiping out whole a$$ rappers from the game. They would just disintegrate, like when Thanos snapped his fingers in Avengers: Infinity War. We lost a true fearless original. From the KMD days to the birth of the countless incarnations that manifested since... there won't ever be another. R.I.P. Daniel Dumile."

[W]reckless, Topless American Youth: Lana del Rey - "Born 2 Die" (Britney Spears Birthday 30)

Lana del Rey [Lizzy Grant] effectively became 2011's "It Girl" with the release of her phenomenal debut single, "Video Games" (Stranger) . Like many struggling singer-songwriters, Grant has been signed, dropped, and significantly changed her public image since bursting onto the scene (2009). With that said, it can be assumed that Lana del Rey has collected just as many "haters" as she has avid supporters. To be perfectly honest, the only other artist I can think of that made this much commotion... garnered so much wide-spread buzz/hate and critical acclaim -- right out of the gates -- with just one track is Britney Spears . And maybe in this post- Mike musical era, that's the true synthesis of Pop Culture: Britney Lynn Spears . After months of repeated teasing and speculation, Lana del Rey 's major label debut, Born 2 Die will [finally] be released this coming Jan. 30-31, 2012. Pitchfork reports that it will feature "Off to The Ra

3 Feet High & Rising: Band of Bearded Brothers Cellar Door Moon Crow Unleash Rollicking Single "Whistler" from Upcoming Blues Rock EP (Bandcamp, self-released)

Whistler by Cellar Door Moon Crow British Rock 2-piece band Cellar Door Moon Crow mysteriously found and Followed The Witzard (@SharpCheddar856) on Twitter a few months ago. Their Facebook About section simply lists a brief, yet fitting, mission statement: "Band ~ Beards ~ Brothers Goodwin brothers Phil & Tommy . Sheffield, UK " and their accompanying Biography section contains a similar refrain: "Band ^ Beards ^ Brothers," as well as their Bandcamp page. There really isn't much else to be known about twin brothers Phil & Tom Goodwin , aside from the fact that they make infectious, down and dirty Rock "N" Roll —all entirely written, recorded, produced, and mixed in-house by Cellar Door Moon Crow (CDMC) themselves. CDMC 's Bandcamp page often tags their musical output as " British Rock , Rock, Blues Rock , two-piece band, Sheffield " and I would best liken their sound to a stylistic mix between The Black Keys , Thir

"Let Me Shine for You:" Lindsay Lohan for Playboy (Winter 2011-12 Leak)

Lindsay Lohan essentially embodies exactly "What NOT to Do In Hollywood :" Fame, fortune, success... sex, drugs & Rock "N" Roll . Within a fairly short period of time, Lohan somehow managed to obtain a plentiful helping of POWER @ a very young age. This gradual rise-downfall was captured on film; Between 1998-2010, she portrayed a wide array of roles across the silver screen in movies including: Mean Girls, Bobby , Herbie Fully Loaded , Georgia Rule, Machete , and Freaky Friday . Between rapid-paced film shoots, Lindsay Lohan also found time to record 2 Pop Rock albums for Casablanca , Speak (2004) and A Litter More Personal-Raw (2005). Needless to say, Lindsay Lohan has gotten roped up in a lot of troubles and woes with the law over the last 3-5 years... a vicious cycle of drugs, arrest, court, rehab, "daddy issues," jail time [Repeat]. That's the pure basics of it - But Google that shit for additional info, if necessary. Towards the end of
