KMD - Plumskinzz (full version)

[@staticshocks3274]

As of October 2020, KMD is reunited in heaven. This still hurts my heart, RIP DJ Subroc and Zev Love X a.k.a. MF Doom.

[@FREAKMortician]

No matter the circumstances; DOOM and subroc were inseparable…One could only hope that their presences reunited in the after life.. I can already see DILLA in the mix of it all too. RHYME IN POWER DOOM

Nah onyx is still alive, he’s active on Instagram too

wheres the love for onyx???

[@Sqk.]

Onyx is still alive but he moved away into obscurity, you can find videos of him performing a speech for BLM, a eulogy, etc. He also attended the opening of the street ‘KMD - MF DOOM Way’. His name is Alonzo Hodge

This full version was actually the b-side to the “Nitty Gritty” single, so it actually got a release, unlike the Black Bastards LP.

[@CapAnson12345]

In an alternate 2019 universe KMD are the most popular rap artists in the world.

[@Poxymonkeypox]

In an alternate 2020 DOOM, Big, Pac, Big L are popping a cypher while Shabba Doo and T-Roy keep the groove

[@MrGreatworks]

In that same alternate universe, no rap snakes to be found, Monsanto's stranglehold on crops fails, natural beauty and nourishment is rampant, everyone OMs and open third eyes abound. Zev was too good for us. The villian deserves to be on the right side, with his son and brother. They prolly cutting one with Dilla Dawg right now.

[@Belowone]

f'd up part is, if KMD was still around we wouldnt have DOOM. crazy how a tragedy can created Greatest.

[@finkployd6110]

@@Belowone The music would probably still be great, Subroc was an amazing producer, probably would have been better than DOOM if he matured. He was a good rapper too. Also, they were clearly moving towards DOOM-style music by 1993, Black Bastards sounds like an early DOOM album, Zev even talks about being a "maniacal villain" and wearing a mask on the album.

[@anthonyquentere2112]

We all have our own universe, but you’re right 💯

[@Bishopspipes]

2nd verse is Onyx the Birthstone Kid who left the group during the making of the 2nd album; so they later removed his verse (seen here) and cut plumskinzz into 2 joints on the 2nd album when it eventually finally got released

Verse 1: Zev Love X] Sho' nuff as the 7-11 wins I's in for Plumskinnz from begin (Like when?) A rooster a-booster, vickin' all the hens (With a grin) Thick chicks, and even sticks got friends (Least ten) Up high, the up high I'm covered With the innocent fuzz from the peaches says the streets (Head to toe) Down low, on the down low I know the right juice from the darkest fruits got roots (A superhoe) Mind wanderin', mind playin' tricks I want the Nestle Quik picks my best of games to kicks Tongue tied up, tongue tied up, confidin' Thinkin' if I could I'll stoop to trickin' much nooks Beware the grocer when ya press 'em with your thumbs, though (Oh?) See, no grocer wants bruised plums, yo (so?) Once bruised one time, 'tis forgotten And once the plums is rotten, the skinzz'll cut your gums At the corner store, a sign reads: "For Sale: Plumskinzz Fruit Cocktail" Only ones runnin' to the corner is pale males Open all night, the corner plumskinzz is stale Back to the honeyplum that's swift with gift And if the plum is pit, I guess I'll just plead fifth I'll say, "Sweet young, can your tongue have some? You got some peach(fuzz)" ("Yeah, you know me!") Well, I'm down with O.P.Plumskinzz Don't drool with all the juice you dribble Scribble the beeper code, so the X can gets a nibble Trust, just in case ya asked why Behind my button-fly is a fruit fly huntin' for those plumskinzz Chorus: KMD] I said a hip, hop, shooby doo wop (When I'm checkin for the plums) ya don't stop I said a hip, hop, shooby doo wop (When I'm lickin on the plums) ya don't stop I said a hip, hop, shooby doo wop (When I'm eatin on the plum) ya don't stop I said a hip, hop, shooby doo wop (Like suckin on a plum) ya don't stop [Verse 2: Onyx] Since last we spoke, I cried about Teddy Ruxpin And me myself, in a dream, pimpin' in a tux and, uhh Now that the toys in my bed hit the edges Skinzz'll be smoked like, Benson and Hedges Legs over ledges, I'm over heels Over heels, five-nine is the result of how I builds But then hard times come, oh and how It makes me feel as if I needs, a Lowenbrau No, I ain't gon' never seek refuge in booze I find the Gods and crews, seekin' plumskinzz to bruiseeeee up Somethin' lovely kickin' game, no shame GREAT shape got me GREAT date but untamed You never knows, where goes my hand next Surprise! I'm in your plumskinzz Spandex Lust for lust-ful got me lustin' Honies ask for it, but then they start bustin' Want ya, need ya, but don't wanna seed ya Baby, listen close, and follow this procedure You feel my peachfuzz while I rub your plumskin Hun, before you go, you know we gotta get somethin' staaaarted Pump-kin pie, I promise to lick ya till your well runs dry By the fruit you bare, I guess you got spoon In my room, I search some this Fruit of my Loom I never touch young bright them plums till they reach age (Meanwhile, plum-sauce baby food is Subroc stage)

[@alexbarron1426]

Verse 3: Subroc] Don't think I ain't good when I'm gooder Don't think I won't when I woulda I save plums in lump sums because I may want it soon Damn, I wouldn't want my plum to turn prune Unless it be all that, be all that It won't matter, just black sweet ones come fatter I'm kinda, kinda picky with my fruit mix But always fix fat drums in the batter They say you must, must share a little plum I say, "With that idea, kid, you're dumb" I play the role, play the role, kinda shy And keep the concept to unbutton the fly The question, my oh my, any left for thy shore? I pick fresh fruit, plus vick 'em galore Raw as can be, I can be much more Adore my sweet gift shot like Quickdraw McGraw It's plenty much, plenty much to go around I weigh 'em by the hand, take 'em by the pound Maybe I slap big, bot-tom 'round But if not, sit tight, I just might hound you down Things that make you go "Mmmmm" Taste a sugarplum, use your mouth, go "Mmmmm" If you ain't already been, yo, catch me with a finnicky grin And you should know, like Flynn I'm in For those plumskinzz

for all the confused folks - this is the 12" version that came out when onyx (verse 2) was still in the group. by the time they made Black Bastards he wasn't in the group anymore, and they opted to split this track into 2 skits ("Loose Hoe God & Cupid" and "Oh No I Don't Believe It), each with a verse from Zev and Sub respectively. to the poster - where is that article from in the video pic?

[@PaulPawlPall]

I think that was Vibe’s review for Black Bastards. They pretty much trash it, more or less missing the point that Zev and Sub were trying to make. Lots of “This isn’t Mr Hood! They’re trying to be hard!” kinda complaints from what I remember.
