So because of this, despite how they’re remembered today, 3rd Bass brought rap to the suburbs – or at least made it a bit more palatable for parents. Having “Gasface” in rotation on MTV made the group one of the most vital rappers in the game at the time. And on that track was a young gentleman named Zev Love X (Daniel Dumile). Alongside the interracial rap group, the man that would go on to become DOOM, took a verse that resulted in but a modicum of fame. Read more

<!--[if gte mso 9]> Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE <![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 9]> <![endif]--> For a guy that’s released a relatively small amount of work as a solo artist – that means we’re not considering all the Danger Doom/Madvillain collaborations – DOOM get’s talked about a great deal. Maybe it’s because he’s pulled a Prince and changed his name to DOOM (all caps, no MF prefix). But really, the level of talent that he exudes when he actually releases discs is beyond anyone one the Billboard rap charts. Read more

The World is Doomed Like a MF

I have no idea what it means at this point in time that MF Doom can release a single track that clocks in at a minute and a half and have the interwebs up in arms.

“Ballskin” is a dense, mind numbing rip of non stop raps. And if you didn’t already know that Doom was one of the most talented and intelligent rappers on the plant, on this new track, he’s able to rhyme ‘hyperbole’ and ‘get snipped verbally.’ That’s pretty awesome, but even more incredible is that the song is about his ballskin in the mouth of some undeserving fool. He wants ‘em to “taste ‘em like a pastry.”

Yup, that’s gross. Read more

John Robinson might be the most mundane name in hip hop – or even in music. But the common nature of his name belies the talent that this man possesses.

Beyond helping to run a label that counts some true rap legends on its roster, JR has been on countless discs over the last few months. And last year his work as Lil Sci with Carlos Nino on What's the Science Elevation has set the stage for his upcoming Who is this Man? Read more
