Red Bull Music Academy continued its interview lineup, this week with MF DOOM.
Among the subjects broached was DOOM’s recording process. “What I usually do when I’m producing a record, I come up with a beat first, and then the beat’ll inspire the lyrics,” explained DOOM.
In the interview, DOOM was asked to provide a background for his character.
“[DOOM’s] more of the old school, O.G., old-timer villain” said DOOM. “He’s a typical villain you have in any story where a lot of people misunderstand him, but he got a heart of gold. He’s for the children. It’s like a Robin Hood kind of character. Loved by the people, but the powers that be may not really get along with how he get done.”
DOOM was also asked to describe another one of his alter-egos, Viktor Vaughn. “Vik is like similar, but younger. Like eighteen or nineteen, young whippersnapper that think he [knows what’s going on]. A lot of times he disagree with DOOM, but he still with DOOM.”
DOOM also revealed that he prefers the approach of dropping as many records on various labels with one-off deals because it allows him to put out as much music as possible.

dope.
Doom is dope
“Got more sole than a sock with a hole…set the stage with a goal, to have the game locked in a cage getting shocked through the pole…”
-DOOM
“Read the signs, no feeding the baboon
Seein’ as how they got your back bleeding from the stab wounds”
-DOOM, love these lines.
One of my favorites of the underground. Lot of great projects coming from him soon with Madlib, Ghostface and Thom Yorke, should be fantastic
I think imma check his music out more cuz all ive heard is good things about this underground cat
You should. He’s very different from what you’d normally hear so he takes some getting used to. I’d personally start with Madvillainy (as Madvillain), then move onto The Mouse and The Mask (DANGERDOOM) and then take your pick after that.
After Madvillainy, listen to Operation Doomsday, King Geedorah’s Take me to your Leader, MM Food, KMD’s Black Bastards, and so on and on…
WE NEED DOOMSTARKS NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!
why didn’t someone ask who mr. fantastik is?
I first met Mr. Fantastic at an Arms race
lol, he first met him at an arms deal. thats all we know.
one of the greatest
Run Forest, run!
DOOM is the truth , he original
Con queso
Hoe cakes
Doomsday
Accordian
Monkey Suite
Rhymes like dimes
Figuero
Rhinestone Cowboy
Rap snitches
etc
One of the best catalouges ever.
Have waited so long for this dude to come back to the limelight. One of the greatest minds to ever grace a mic. Sooo much intelligence and hidden meanings in his lyrics. Strange Ways shits on your favorite track. His wordplay/usage of multi-syllabic rhymes is second to none. Nobody can fuck the creativity he displayed on Vaudeville Villain or Madvillainy. Other rappers use concepts for a song, he pulled off unbelievable concepts with those alter egos for whole LP’s. The true underground king. Only Top 10 producer/rapper of all time.
MF DOOM
Viktor Vaughn
DangerDOOM
King Geedorah
M.I.C.
Madvillain
Some of the best Hip Hop albums of all times were released under those names.
show some respect to KMD
It warms me to see the true respect for DOOM on here. This site posts a lot of crap and has a lot of retarded comments, but I love that everyone has admiration for this dude – and rightfully so, DOOM is undeniably a legend.
I could never get into this guy personally but I give him respect for getting it all done on hiw own terms and standing out from the pack
mf doom albums are always on point interns of lyrics and production.

you know dissing doom doesnt make you look better right? Ive seen you on a few articles now talkin shit about some dope artist. Get on your grind and stop posting comments on here homie. If you want to be great don’t ridicule doom study his music and see what your young ass can learn from it.
This n!gga dissed himself once he put up that avatar of himself on the mic like Supreme Clientele and his music is cheeks.
Nobody EVER asks who Mr. Fantastik is…seriously that’s been a burning question of mine for years, who the hell is this guy and where is he??
Yeah, also want to know that. His verse was super dope.
It was Count Bass D
YO DOOM SHIZZA-SHARK IS STILL ON YOUR RADAR…
who cares about who is runing rap this is hiphop
I’m proud for having this few cats still doing their thing
for those who really understand real culture
difficult to access

You need to run the rap game otherwise you have nothing to say?
How stupid is that
like Hiphop is a business not a culture right?
Listen up tranny lovers!!!!!!! Maybach Music Group is running shit how can my statement be contested?!?!? Come at me faggots!!!!!! The BAWSE of the rap game and the crack game Rick Ro$$ is about to drop his 5th studio lp “God Forgives, I Don’t” 12/13/11 his track record has been proven, port of miami#classic, deeper than rap#classic, trilla#classic and the fucking musical accomplishment that is TEFLON DON #FUCKINGCLASSIC!!!!!! #Rossisthegoat
I WANNA SUCK RICK RO$$’$ TIT$!
Why would I want to listen to a parole officer pretending to be a gangster? No musical skills
that shit is clownish man. Mainstream garbage. jump off maybach musics d***
In more DOOM related news, record label Nature Sounds had this to tweet: “There is a very good chance there will be ATLEAT [sic] 3 DOOM albums released in 2012.”
Excited? I know I am.
FINALLY!!! CAN’T FUCKING WAIT!!! DOOM NEVER LETS U DOWN!!!
Yo some cat has a tribute song to MF Doom and captain america on youtube. The shit is pretty tight and original,the sample is mad crazy. The dude created it is mad funny
Saw Doom last night in London, but like last year’s show at Brixton he didn’t perform any Viktor Vaughn. There also wasn’t enough Doomsday and Take Me to Your Leader. It’d be cool at a Doom show to hear him do his first appearance on wax, the Gas Face. Ghost also made an appearance, but unfortunately not with Doom. Hopefully if Swift & Changeable does come to fruition, it’s not just Starks spittin’ over re-cycled Special Herbs beats like the John Robinson/Masta Ace projects regardless how dope it was/will be.
dope dope dope dope it’s so good to hear a rapper with real artistic ambition. not that there aren’t others, of course, but DOOM is on some whole other.
MM.. FOOD? Is one of the most slept on albums ever, that along with MadVillainy
DOOM is a BEAST! Your favorite rappers favorite MC.
Anyone one know when that project with Masta Ace is coming out?? Anybody? DX?
MA DOOM?
