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 first time I heard MF DOOM rap, I told the person who got me hip [to him] I could "rap better" than DOOM. I didn't understand it. I was listening to, like, Curren$y & Odd Future and sh*t, but that was not long-lived, as I heard "One Beer" the next day and that sh*t changed my life forever [for real, for real]. I have an addictive personality, so when I was "in," I wanted to [know] everything. hear everything, and I, more or less, did. For years, I would comb through random features, remixes, mixes, and sh*t just to absorb it all. Sh*t like DANGERDOOM & King [Geedorah] are, usually, not really talked about like that, but are legit two of my [favorite] DOOM projects [for real, for real]. So, for me, it's not really the usual stuff about him that made me love DOOM, it's the stuff that [people] hated or didn't notice."

"Like, the DOOMbot [DOOMposters] thing; as someone who's not really bright and wide-eyed about the live performance game myself, I thought that was the coolest sh*t ever, but [people] really be mad he did that. I wish I could send a NASAbot up there to perform, sometimes, but that'd be biting, no shark n***a lol. Or the mask itself, my man, really just said "NOPE!" to all the bullsh*t that's, literally, ruling how people consume music, how they consume art, and the entitlement they have to a person's [life] all DOOM just said "NO!" And nobody really had a choice either, f**k with it or get lost. And that's why I loved DOOM, that's legit how most of my friends bonded; it was over our mutual love of DOOM. I mean, my first tapes I put out were, essentially, just me making songs to the [Metal Fingers] Special Herbs beats."

"I did two volumes of a mixtape series called The Special Herbs EP. I'm sure you can still find 'em somewhere, not that I would want y'all to. But, yeah, DOOM meant the world to me. It sucks he's gone, I really feel for his wife and friends, sh*t is crazy. It's wild 'cause DOOM was the only emcee I was checking for like that and now that he's gone, I really have no aspirations to work with anyone anymore [for real, for real,] like, everyone I would [have] wanted a verse from is dead, which is... a damning feeling [for real, for real] and it's gotten to a point (HOT TAKE ALERT! HOT TAKE ALERT!) where I truly feel like we can only turn to Ghostface & Jadakiss for true "scrunch-up-your-face" bars that we used to; yeah, it's other "nice" n***az, but not "DOOM nice," not "Sean Price nice." They just... nice. Anyway, rest in piece to my favorite rapper's favorite rapper and yours, too... The Supa Muthaf***in' Villain."

[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

"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
