Geedorah has always been my favorite DOOM persona, as a big kaiju fan. I love that he sampled the showa films so routinely under this persona.

My favourite is Viktor Vaughn. I love the weird mix of an awkward, nerdy kid flipping needing to be a gangster during his transition to becoming a true villain.

[@jacktheartisan406]

I always loved the King Geedorah persona the most out of any of DOOM's personas since I'm huge kaiju fan. Whenever I'd go over to grandma's apartment as a kid, there was this stack of DVDs that mostly consisted of 60's samurai flicks, Shaw Brothers/Golden Harvest martial arts films, and showa era japanese monster movies (my grandma is of japanese decent so those were the movies she gravetated to). I always loved it when DOOM would reference "nerdy" stuff in his lyrics or personas, whether it be Marvel cartoons, or a Star Trek reference, or a sample from an old kaiju film, that's what got me into his albums when I was in middle school, to which I'm still a fan today.

[@lardball976]

yeah love geedorah for the same reason, i love when he actually samples the old showa films in that album its just so cool

[@acsysin]

I’m a Godzilla and kaiju movie fan so I love that character too

[@abelq8008]

He off sides like how Worf rides for starfleet.

he is an villan so that doesnt really make sense

[@feelingprettymusty]

@ are you slow

[@samg131]

Love the Yoshikage Kira theme in the background

[@R3E_1234RR]

Is that a JoJo reference?

[@internetjous]

My fav character is prob Viktor Vaughn. While he's younger than DOOM, his record sounds a lot darker, aesthetic wise, than any MF DOOM album, the impression I have with that material is that it's fresh and unique. I prefer Madvillainy overall but Vik is a pretty well developed character thanks to Vaudeville Villain.

[@professionalmemeenthusiast2117]

Listen to Venomous Villain too, it's on YT if nowhere else. Vik is such a cool distinct character.

[@internetjous]

@@professionalmemeenthusiast2117 I already did! It's a decent record but can't hold a candle to Vik's performance on Vaudeville Villain. Worth the check for sure.

[@ninjasrose1653]

Firstly, this is a great breakdown! Secondly, MF DOOM is one of the most important Hip Hop artists that's ever lived. His contribution to the culture will only be recognised in full, when in 20 years, we're still talking about him. Absolute legend. One of the best ever!

[@LuksThiago007]

The fact that Vic diss DOOM on Fancy Clown put his music in another level. Keep it up with vids, dude. ALL CAPS for the MAN.

[@dmeatroberson2105]

"V. Vaughn's the travelling vaudeville villain, And don't give a flying fxck who ain't not feeling him...' RIP 👑 D. Dumile

[@KasirRham]

If I had to pick one it's gonna be the main villian, MF DOOM. I also find the idea of Vaughn intriguing because he's a character that admires and looks up to DOOM but has is own separate ideas and adventures.... We need a DOOM videogame.

[@lowgman384]

Another appearance of MF DOOM as King Dumile on The Jade Amulet album is worth a listening and a shout out. A killer concept album I happily revisit beginning to end every few weeks.

[@bradenmeyer7465]

There’s something so unusual about Doom’s creativity pertaining to his pseudonyms/identity’s. Appreciate your work man; it’s fans like you that got me into the legend in the first place.

Great video! King Geedorah is probably my fav DOOM persona too since take me to your leader has alot of toho godzilla references and I just like king ghidorah!

[@eredcreates101]

Youre a real one for putting this info out here, been listening to his music for months now and been wondering the story myself

[@deutgi]

aw man, amazing video! i love DOOM so much. in my opinion, his lyrical skill is unmatched and his sample choices are super cool. i love the way he crafted an entire universe of characters who each have their own styles and lore, and I really respect how he went through a lot of hard shit in his life and still came out as an icon. i always go looking 'round for his stuff in record/CD stores - i like looking for all his names and checking if any of his stuff is still in stock (usually not). love to all other fans out there! ❤

[@DezB15]

This was beautifully done! Learned more about MF DOOM.

[@Junker.66]

I love how he leaves it in the video "Switch topics here" just a note to himself for when hes editing but just dosent bother to take it out, I actually like it tho lmao. Also i love the commitment to all his MF DOOM content you can see rly see the love he has for making them with it being 80pct of his channel. Keep it up man.

[@me-xm6pg]

I just want to say that I have never once took the time to leave a comment on a video and I can’t help but leave one here explaining how flabbergasted I am that there is such a deep history to DOOMS career. I love this video. Will watch again.

Talking about specific references and lines from the songs, without playing a clip from the song or showing the lyrics, makes for a very frustrating watch. I was really hoping to hear the different personas juxtaposed. Good breakdown other than that.

[@glorifiedrhymes8338]

Before he passed he was and is the GOAT ! Rhymes, production, HH culture- Music biz navigation . DOOM is second to none in all aspects. This Man is a cheat code even now that he is not here in the physical. Nothing anyone could say or do could change this man’s immortality.

[@Eliburgo]

Noticed you dropped the ball on the special herbs metal fingers section as to how all the covers represent his two favorite rolling papper you mentioned his version of zig zags but missed/overlooked ( or just didn't notice) his cosplay of the Bambu rolling papers man aswell they actually made Bible paper before manufacturing rolling papers hence the urban legend of the extra blank sheet in bibles being reserved as an emergency rolling paper. The special herbs cassettes is definitely an homage to a pack of Bambu rolling papers. [Bambú became a pop culture reference during the 1970s with the release of the Cheech and Chong Big Bambu album. Since then, it has had many other musical references in pop culture by artists such as The Notorious B.I.G., Method Man, A Tribe Called Quest, and others[citation needed]. Most recently Bambú appeared on the front cover of a book Pot Culture[citation needed] Dennis Wilson's second album was titled Bambu, after the rolling papers, and was released with Pacific Ocean Blue in 2008.]

[@milesfromnowhere1985]

Revisiting your videos after picking up the new DOOM biography, "The Chronicles of DOOM" by S.H. Fernando Jr. I've read half of it so far, and it's so great to fill in some of the gaps in the story of my favorite supervillain. Highly recommend for any DOOM fan, lots of info on the KMD years and his time in seclusion, forging the mask and plotting his vengeance.

[@sonictheflexhog6075]

Back in 1994, DOOM shopped around the Operation Doomsday demo, there’s a lot of demos that you can find of songs off the album, where he still sounds young like Zev. My favorites being the Gas Drawls, and Operation Greenbacks. Which is LIKELY why King Geedorah was listed, and mentioned in the Operation Doomsday album, he’d already had the moniker for quite some time.

King Geedorah makes a Couple More Appearances after 2003. CX Kidtronik and King Geedorah drop a Single on stonetrow Records titled Wild Kingdom in 2011. For the 2016 Reissue of King Geedorah, MF DOOM did a radio mix on Solid Steel where there was a King Geedorah remix to the JJ DOOM track Banished. There are also unreleased songs produced by DOOM in that mix.
