MF DOOM forever! Thanks Master Cole, you really explained the essence of DOOM and what made him unique. To master the road enough to not need it altogether is flipping amazing to witness!

[@ColeMizeStudios]

Yo MG, my pleasure bro! Yes, that's my big take away from studying DOOM, it can be cool intentionally not have everything "cadence and rhymes" perfectly symmetrical all the time. I'm glad you enjoyed man! Thanks for rockin' with me! ✌😎 - Cole Mize

[@lieutenantdan7212]

Dude, this video is straight fire! I couldn't hear the swing at first on MF DOOMS verse but once you started going back and forth with it, it became so obvious! This video deserves millions of views! Thanks Cole!

[@ColeMizeStudios]

Yo Dan, I'm really glad this was helpful! That's what it's all about right there! Thanks for the support, it's always appreciated! ✌😎 - Cole Mize

[@TheSassyKitten]

A day after his 4 year anniversary and just after his vomit spit video release and also recently the 20th anniversary of Mm Food

[@ColeMizeStudios]

That's awesome! The drop of my video had a little of that MF DOOM swing I was talking about on it. Right after his anniversary. Long live DOOM! ✌😎 - Cole Mize

[@Dawidek82]

Can you make video how rap like NF ?

[@ColeMizeStudios]

Thanks for the suggestion, I made note of it ✌😎 - Cole Mize

[@PenguiinLips]

I love this year. The Year MF DOOM has been more popular. Long luve the Villain

[@ColeMizeStudios]

Yes! MF DOOM live on! ✌😎 - Cole Mize

I'm not a rapper, but here's my 2c...I think you captured the essence of what makes it unique really well, but this thing about "technically perfect" vs "imperfect" is not how I see it. Delivering the raps "dirty" is technically really hard...you gotta know exactly where the beat is while never touching it, and your rhymes have to be really strong to overpower the off beat delivery. Then having all these internal rhymes also means you have to work your pen way harder because on a regular scheme rhyming only at the end of the phrase, you can put whatever you want in the beginning, but here you have to maintain your focus through the whole line, and it's also easy to get tongue twisted. It's not "technical" like Busta Rhymes or Eminem but it's technical in a different way and there's a whole lineage of rappers like Chuck D, Big Boi, Biggie etc...still good video though

[@ColeMizeStudios]

Thanks Joey, I agree 100%. That's why I also included the segment about his swing as well, to demonstrate how difficult what he's doing is. And I also mentioned how what he's doing isn't a mistake, it's 100% intentional. In art we intentionally distort things so there not to "perfect" which gives them character. Such as adding distortion or saturation to a picture. We also do similar things with music and most certainly in rap. This is why I also said in my video at the end that just because something is "perfect" doesn't mean it's good. Just because something is "technically correct" doesn't make it right. What we're doing is all about feeling and what's most important is, does it feel good? Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts! ✌😎 - Cole Mize

[@ThatGuy_Sy]

I've listened to this song over and over again today. It had been playing when the notification for your video popped up, I thought I was being watched 🤣

[@ColeMizeStudios]

lol That's wild! I promise I'm not spying on you, but perhaps you telepathically influenced me to make a video on a song you've been really enjoying lol! Thanks for watching! ✌😎 - Cole Mize

[@strictlyhighvibrations]

I have a question, i’ve noticed with alot of freestyles back in the 90’s, they were written verses not really off the dome freestyles, my question is, how were they able to get the verse that they didn’t write to that beat to match perfectly with the beat they are rhyming on? were people not writing with beats back then due to the fact of beats really not even being easily accessible?

[@ColeMizeStudios]

Great question! The thing is, when you write a rap verse it has musical structure and timing to it. If the verse was written while listening to an instrumental it will be written to the tempo of that instrumental. If it was written without an instrumental we typically will still write to some internal tempo we decide for our selves. So as long as you play instrumentals that are within 20 bpm's of the tempo you wrote to, you will be able to rap it over that instrumental likely without any issues. The trick it to wrote verses over different tempo ranges so you can rap over any beat anyone puts on. There's two main tempo ranges in Hip-Hop (85-105) give or take. This is where a lot of your traditional boom bap beats live in. Then you have your slower trap style instrumentals which are in R&B ranges of (60-80) give or take. I hope this helps! ✌😎 - Cole Mize

[@IllDawgable]

Ey Cole good to see you're doing well man.

[@ColeMizeStudios]

Thanks bro! I appreciate it! ✌😎 - Cole Mize

[@quincymosby]

Great vid dude.

[@ColeMizeStudios]

Thanks Quincy, I'm glad you enjoyed it! ✌😎 - Cole Mize

[@TheMidnightBandit]

I just find him to be less generic. Less boring. Having raps that are too rigid is like spitting limericks. It loses its sickness, becoming derivative. Originality beats banal bars because following the same game isn't actually hard. 😅

[@ColeMizeStudios]

Bro, I see what you did there and you kilt it! DOOM would be proud. Much respect! 👊 ✌😎 - Cole Mize

[@InfinateRadiant]

When you put the that weak shit next to Doom it makes you appreciate him so much more.

[@ColeMizeStudios]

lol dang, shots fired 💥🔫😂 Thanks for sharing your thoughts ✌😎 - Cole Mize

[@Yanismusique1705]

This was really interesting :) I love how you explain the techniques which seem so strange to us ! I think Dooms has a created his proper style. That's impressive to see how fluent his flow is although there's no pattern :) I was wondering if you know NF, it's a rapper whose flow sounds really good and original for me. Would you find it interesting to make a video about him one day ? Thanks for this video, you teach rap like a captivating science where there isn't any limit :) Also, I can use different notes in a bar, but it's really hard for me to use different note in the same time or to put a note in between two bars or two time. How could reach this goal / improve ? PS : sorry for any error that may be present in my comment, I'm french. Merci beaucoup !

[@ColeMizeStudios]

Hey Yanis, thanks for all of your kind words, I'm really glad you enjoyed my video. Yes, I love NF and I will 100% be doing a video covering him in the future so stay tuned. In regards to getting better with saying different notes, I've created two playlists to give you guided practice to help improve your ear training.

[@Yanismusique1705]

​@@ColeMizeStudios Thanks for your answer :) I had another question. I'd like to buy your e-book which deals with flow. I was wondering if there is a french version ? If not, I would improve my English and it's Ok as well ! I've tried to train with your playlists, and it's really effective ! Thanks. And sorry for talking about something that may not be linked with the video 😅

[@ColeMizeStudios]

My pleasure! Sorry they're only available in English. I wonder if there's a way you could convert the text of the book into french using Ai or something?

[@Yanismusique1705]

@@ColeMizeStudios Thanks ! Yes, I'll try to read it in English. I can use chat GPT to translate the text if I don't understand. I also wanted to ask you how many pages there were (it's not specified on the site)

[@ColeMizeStudios]

Sounds, like a plan! All of my quick guides are only about 30 pages or less, hence the name "quick" guides 😎

[@moierovtracer]

bro what app do you use to display lyrics?

[@ColeMizeStudios]

It's not an app those are graphics and animations I created from scratch ✌😎 - Cole Mize

Please do a reaction video to a music artist called Ren. Pick Hi ren, Money ties or sick boy

[@Kia-qo7nd]

Loads of KZbinrs are doing reaction videos to his music

[@ColeMizeStudios]

Thanks for the suggestion, I made note of it. ✌😎 - Cole Mize

[@realYungATM]

Great video but putting it on your own beat really confused my brain which made it difficult to focus on what I’m actually hearing

[@ColeMizeStudios]

Sorry to hear that, gotta do what I gotta do out here in these KZbin Skreetz But I'm glad you enjoyed it other than that. Much respect! ✌😎 - Cole Mize

[@errwhaaaaaa]

i always enjoy your vids,,,, but at first fromt he thumbnail i thought this was gonna be gorillaz november has come featuring mf doom which i would love a break down of that song cuz its kinda like this song

[@ColeMizeStudios]

Thanks bro! I've listened to quite a few of DOOM's song and these are techniques he used all the time which make up his unique rap style. If I were to do a breakdown of November Has Come, I'd be repeating the same things I pointed out in this video. But thanks for watching and for the suggestion. ✌😎 - Cole Mize

Thanks bro! You too! ✌😎 - Cole Mize

You’re mixing up rhyme PATTERNS with rhyme schemes. Rhyme schemes are when you use wordplay that references the same topic. Like if my scheme is fruits or food and I say, “I’m about to go bananas! I squash you like grapes! You wine, but still get berried till a later date!” That’s a rhyme scheme. Bananas, grapes, wine, squash, berries, dates.

[@a_jaheen]

What you are describing as "rhyme schemes" is what is commonly referred to as "scheming". They just have similar names, but rhyme schemes and scheming are two completely different things. Scheming is about wordplay and has nothing to do with rhymes.

[@ColeMizeStudios]

I've never heard anyone define a rhyme scheme as you just did. Just do a quick google search for "what is a rhyme scheme" and you will see many others explain it, just as I did. I think you may be confusing a rhyme scheme with a rhyme theme. A "pattern" is anything that repeats so a rhyme scheme and rhyme pattern can be used interchangeably. But hey, perhaps I'm still missing something, and if so correct me. Thanks for watching and for your input. ✌😎 - Cole Mize

[@ColeMizeStudios]

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. What you refer to as "scheming" is what I typically call a "theme" Like a verse may have a theme of basketball so you use words like "shoot, drop the ball, overtime, foul, court etc..." these could be rhymes but don't have to be, the theme is about connecting things together. Is "scheming" a slang term that you use, or is it a literary device that you learned somewhere? Thanks for sharing your input ✌😎 - Cole Mize

Watch more battle rap. Google isn’t Hip Hop if you know what I mean.
