I legit got really confused once beef rap kicked in and was hearing the vocal samples going into major detail about Doom, started thinking I had not been listening to Beef Rap correctly all these years but of course you've done something ridiculously creative. No wonder you're so appreciated putting in work like this! Props man!

This fucked me up for a full 3 minutes. Lmfao I’m 4:36 in and still unclear what all is happening, how these voice actors were brought on? Are they just great impersonators?? Are they the ACTUAL voices on the album??

Despite your troubles with KZbin, I’m glad that you can keep giving us these fire videos 🔥🔥🔥

[@diggingthegreats]

Same here 🙏 you should know though, I had to cut this down to fit on KZbin. The "Full" Edit is on Patreon and it's 7 mins longer 🔥

[@slickvisualpoetry]

​@@diggingthegreats The issue with Patreon though, if I paid for every channel, I'd spend large chunks of my income on youtube videos. If it were like a Netflix of original content creators, making monetization easier. For example, you pay like 10 bucks a month, and you get to choose 10 different channels. More people would buy in.

My favorite KZbinr making a concept video for my favorite Rapper’s concept album seems like a bizarre possibility. And yet it just makes so much sense. Fantastic work as always with this. Your analysis is spot on and I’m glad more of your own creativity is starting to shine through. RIP to MF DOOM and long live Digging the Greats.

[@Jack-ud3vz]

Dude, I stg. You are officially goated. Really thankful for your breakdowns, because you somehow have the same taste as me and as a guitar player / producer who was introduced to hip-hop through MF DOOM back in 2009 and became obsessed with it + neo-soul + funk + jazz + rnb + soul among many other genres of music, but having grown up on rock / metal and pop-punk as a child. Did a bit of a 180 and studied music production, with a particular interest in dillatime. Currently learning how to play and sing a handful of D'Angelo tracks. Some of my first beats were my trying to copy MM Food sampling old cartoons. Been thinking about learning the bass now because it just looks like so much fun. Anyway shit none of this is relevant but this video was incredibly creative. You deserve more subs honestly.

[@MyNameIsNyx]

your videos are always great but the style of this one really slaps.

[@johnyinnit]

is this the greatest KZbin video this year??? Villain would be proud

[@RexMckinnis]

This was really creative. Having the characters have an interest yet conversation was wicked. There’s so many videos explaining MF DOOM but this twist was fire.

[@wojteksocha2002]

This is definitely the easiest listen of any MF DOOM projects and for anyone who wants to discover this man: start with this album, it is soo much fun

I've watched a few of your videos and intended to watch just a few minutes of this one this one to check it out and save for later. But I was immediately hooked by the concept of the self-aware sample voices. Brilliant move. This was also when I realized I had not hit that subscribe button and needed to remedy that immediately.

[@Jake-el5bm]

Even without music. You still make everything great, also remembersble. It was great. I think you did a good job with the voice actor/AI. To make it a DOOM vid

[@retromakiha]

This is a trip. I like how you’ve created characters and communicated the same way Doom does. So clever.

[@Dcyde86]

What you did here is waaaay next level in terms of concept and editting complementing that, but you already know that so , thank you for such a delivery. It got me focused for the whole duration and I really felt that DOOM speaks through that - R.I.P. MF DOOM aka Daniel Dumile -

[@wheredhego47]

This video - scratch that - artistic voyage made me appreciate DOOM way more than I ever have. Truly a one of a kind artist in the realm of hip-hop. Possibly in all of music. I really do hope he's resting in peace. With more than One Beer. Great job, DTG.

[@davkasik]

Holy shit, the production on this vid is insanely creative. Love it.

[@RupeeVids]

Doomsday, Madvillainy are held at the highest regard appropriately, but Mouse and the Mask and Mm..Food are the most enjoyable to listen to IMO. DOOM in his most conductive context. RIP. Clever video. This is the type of original content KZbin needs much more of

Honestly- maybe your best executed concept (and a perfect choice of which artist and album to pair with it) to date.

[@lillailla]

Great work with this video and a surprising turn with the voices! I was also surprised that the band Cortex, that was sampled for the song One Beer, was Scandinavian (as I'm Swedish). I'd to look it up as I've never heard they were Scandinavian and I think you've got it mixed together. The sample comes from a French band called Cortex, but there was also a Swedish band called Cortex (though in a different genre). Great work anyway - keep it up! :)

Probably the best music youtuber out there, the hours and passion put into these DTG videos are insane, i like listening to them while i study and i recently dived into heavy Hip-Hop phase.

[@lilkujo]

Highly recommend listening to the original, Huit octobre 1971 by Cortex. The drums throughout that track are just so smooth and smack. Alain Gondalfi is a very under-recognized drummer. Also if you do check out that album listen to Prelude à go Round, he kills it on that too.
