This is also something people miss when listening to metal.

[@maxxtheknife]

@@CaptainMargetunsure what you mean by this. If anything, metal and specifically the unclean vocals are maybe the single most distinct use of vocals as an instrument i think - rhyming is hardly important for it

[@CaptainMarget]

@@maxxtheknife Thats exactly what I'm saying! People who judge that style of vocal often miss the point of them being an instrument.

[@__ethen_2814]

Just a heads up that the artisit "Quasimoto" that appears on a few of the songs on this album is actually madlibs rapping alter ego. His album "The Unseen" is an absolute classic and worth a listen, some of madlibs best production combined with an absolutely amazing rap style and personality from him. You'd definitely find it an interesting listen since you seem to like his production style.

I'm been a fan of the man for thirty years. Found out he died today. A unique lyricist. He's always had that abstract style. He's always dropped those hip hop riddle rhymes.

[@SkippyMcdanglenuts]

Been only a fan of him for 7-8 years so I really didn’t get to listen to DOOM when he dropped all the masterpieces but the albums he has dropped are probably my favourite hip hop albums of all time when I found out he died I was absolutely shocked man almost brought to tears a few times it was around 12:00 in the morning I found out about his death and god it hit me hard. The first things I did after taking a while to let it kick In was I played Doomsday when that chorus hit it hit so damn hard I miss the man everyday and I still find it hard to believe he is gone.

THIS was a proper reaction video. Thank you, keep on doing your shit! Consider reacting to Madlib's Quasimoto-adventures! The guest on America's Most Blunted; lead on Shadows of Tomorrow. It's Madlib's voice, but he didn't like his own voice, so he changed the pitch. And about Tarantino: Freddie Gibbs has actually named his flow The Tarantino Flow the last couple of years. Was perfected on Bandana.

Before I talk about this album, I loved the message at the end of the vid and agree 100%, love the earnest nature of these reactions and you as a person. I grew up with rap but was never that heavily invested in music in general. When I was 18 I really delved into music deeply, hip-hop especially, and a couple years later I decided to listen to this masterpiece, and it just solidifed why this is the kind of music I will always come back to, always feel some comfort in. I have probably heard it over 100 times in the past several years and I will still find new things to appreciate. Your reaction is still my reaction sometimes as the density of the bars and rhyme schemes is absurd, especially given I have written a lot of raps and poems so it puts into perspective the next level he was on during this time period. There's a reason he is the quintessential "your favourite rapper's favourite rapper." Would love to hear your thoughts on it down the line when you've listened to it more and had time to ruminate, it deserves it.

@@bulletfastspeed But Kanye has put out 9 albums where 8 are either masterpieces, undeniable classics, cult classics and/or future classics. Plus KIDS SEE GHOSTS. JIK may also become a cult classic so..

[@mr.2gr33dy7]

Up Dod yeah they’re both legends in their own way

[@jibreelbad8854]

I love seeing anyone listen to MF DOOM the first time.... Warms my 💓 lol .... Peace...

[@vokin6317]

Loved the video, man. I first for some reason couldn't get into this album but once I kept "forcing" myself to listen to it, it somehow clicked with me and now it's one of my favorite rap albums of all time One of the very few lyricist to rival DOOM (imo) is Lupe Fiasco. Might not be quite as good but he's def up there. His best albums are The Cool, and Tetsuo & Youth

[@M8Hundreds]

I'd say aesop rock is even better lyricist than doom

[@Foxolini]

Madlib's beats make my neck hurt

[@SAYKODELIKmra]

You should react to the classic rap album "Deltron 3030". It is a unique rap opera set in a dystopian Sci-Fi world. I'm pretty sure you would love it. It is a true experience !!!

[@MrPranker247]

Please react to some Elzhi (Lead Poison, Elmatic) or Big KRIT (4IAMLT, Return of 4eva [mixtape], 4eva N A Day[mixtape]) please🔥🔥

[@TheClever69]

You should do a clipping. season before their new album on October 18th. They have one mixtape (midcity) and two albums (CLPPNG and Splendor And Misery). Their discography is insane

[@kelseygiddings1119]

I’m watching this again as you’ve almost hit 200k. Bro, you’re a beast.

[@wpease7]

Great reaction. Gotta listen to Pinata though. Perfect cross section between this and Bandana IMO. Think you'll like it the best.

[@wisp.]

So happy you did this for your 50K Special! One of my favourite albums of all time. My favourite tracks would be Meat Grinder, America's Most Blunted, Curls, Strange Ways, Fancy Clown, Eye, Great Day, to name a few lol. I first listened to MF DOOM when I was 17 or 18 (4 years ago), mostly heard of him as "Your favourite rapper's favourite rapper." I was listening to Earl and got into DOOM through his Wiki page. You can definitely hear the DOOM influence on early Earl tracks from his EARL mixtape and Doris. MF DOOM has a pretty untouchable discography, I'd compare it to Kanye for how they both have no bad albums. Also both fantastic producers and you'll see that if you venture more into his solo albums like Mm. Food, Operation Doomsday, Born Like This. I would love it if you did the albums weekly or biweekly and just let them marinate in between. You also have to get into the different alias' that he has like: King Geedorah which is a 3 headed dragon monster from the Kaiju genre of movies in Japan like Godzilla. He produces all but one song on the album, which is Take Me to Your Leader. Doesn't rap on all of them but all the features are solid. Definitely an essential album. Viktor Vaughn is another alias which is DOOM as a younger street tough, not at the supervillain level of DOOM. The track Fancy Clown is Viktor calling out his girl for cheating on him with DOOM. Both Viktor Vaughn albums, Vaudeville Villain and Venomous Villain, are produced by other people but still must-listens. Also can't forget DANGERDOOM, which is MF DOOM on the mic and Danger Mouse on the beats. The album is called The Mouse and the Mask, and it's a trip into the Adult Swim universe circa 2004. Lots of references and samples from Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Harvey Birdman, Space Ghost Coast to Coast, etc. Definitely more of a stoner album but still great sober lol. This was hella long i apologize, have a great rest of your day, night, or whenever.

[@robertsilverman4928]

It took me maybe 15 listens before I understood that this is a legendary album. I didn’t understand it at all. You understood so much more about this than I did on my first time. You’ve really come a long way in understanding music so I applaud and thank you for this reaction. My favorite bar (which came right after you said this album broke your mind haha, so I knew you’d miss it) is on Great Day. “Spit so many verses sometimes my jaw twitches
One thing this party could use is more... ahem
Booze”. He set us up. He literally set us up into thinking bitches and then makes us feel ashamed for thinking bitches. It blew my mind when I heard that.

[@BulletHail1337]

Listen to Deltron 3030 by Deltron 3030 (a rap group of rapper Del The Funky Homosapien, producer Dan The Automator and DJ Kid Koala. It's like the most creative concept in rap ever it has a lot of sci-fi elements and the PRODUCTION holy crap it's like a top 3 album from a production point of view.

[@zero0275]

"Uuuuhhh, what is jalapenos?" Is my senior quote

[@corrzyLAD]

Your reactions on this are hilarious, love to see the rhymes being fully appreciated (as much as can be expected on first listen)

[@therealflr]

GZA - Liquid Swords

[@cl_tyr]

ALL CAPS WHEN YOU SAY THE MANS NAME, REST IN POWER TO THE VILLAIN MF DOOM

[@FearDoe]

this top 5 album of all time without a doubt. figaro my favourite off this album the beat and bars are insane and the flow is unbelievable

[@romka2836]

Viktor Vaughn - Vaudeville Villain MF DOOM - OPERATION DOOMSDAY MF DOOM - MM FOOD 😁✌️

[@helikaon5]

Thank you for honoring DOOM, brother. RIP VILLAIN. This really hurts, but people like you help when I can see somebody appreciating my hero the way that I do.

[@mattbailey6417]

I watched your react to MM... FOOD too. Since you appreciate DOOM, you should check out his Viktor Vaughn albums. I think Vaudeville Villain came out before Venomous Villain. But that's the persona on Fancy Clown (a Vik diss track to his other persona DOOM). The man made a diss track to himself... 🤦‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤣

[@HookedonChronics]

MF DOOM is technically British btw.

[@jennieredrose5819]

Yeaaa another reason to listen to the album again! I like seeing ppl react to DOOM! Ooh u almost had the Meat grinder flow ! Haha lemme show u how to do it! 😄

[@fredsanford2711]

Girl i Thought u was just joking when you said let me show you how to spit the rhyme, until I clicked and saw your channel and saw you spitting those MF DOOM rhymes with such ease. 🔥🥵

[@JonDenton]

Just watched it too that was nuts!

[@Lcd4lbad]

Just saw you writing that grafitti on the subway on your Instagram. That was Rhymes like Dimes playing in the background right? Loved that maroon mf doom hoodie you had on. 👌🏽

[@chrisbright2088]

DOOM is overwhelming, he can wear you out. That's why we love him. R.I.P.

[@akiralove9197]

Genius level MC'ing. DOOM is where a lot of high level MC's draw inspiration from. Your favorite rapper's, favorite rapper's, favorite rapper. Backed by Madlib's incomparable production, Madvilliany is a masterpiece. Also look for Mm Food, and Special Herbs...

[@BlahBlah-dx1sp]

Outside of the insane rhyme schemes my favorite thing about DOOM is the funny one-liners he comes up with that really paint a vivid picture. "Yup, you know it, growing up too fast Showing up to class with Moët in a flask"

[@MardiKivMusic]

Always thought it was "showing up to class with my wet in a flask".

[@crabdragon243]

Steven Hook works either way

[@Flux_Zero]

Another "villainous" rap persona & album is Duality by Captain Murphy ; who is actually producer Flying Lotus whom at the time of release remained anonymous

[@Sparklingwater1231]

Love the reaction, one of the best rap albums ever. Regarding bar/concept heavy albums I would really like you see react to Hermit and the Recluse - Orpheus vs. the Sirens. Great how Ka is integrating greek mythologie in his stories

[@Harry-hf5hv]

Really great album, KA is a poet

[@HookedonChronics]

Listen to Deltron 3030 and Dr Octogonageinacologist (spelled that wrong as hell, but it's the main Dr Octogan album. Along with this, those are the top 3 underground hip hop albums ever

[@el_mal_de_ojo]

RIP to the supervillain DOOM. He joins his brother and son now in eternity, may his family be well.

[@drunkenxrage]

Seldom do you react to something EXACTLY the way I do, or how I would like you to; it would be unreasonable for me to expect that!... But for the first time, you delivered every reaction to this project exactly how I'd hoped someone would. Major thumbs up Jon! Love you bro

[@foiabun1]

Operation Doomsday and MM.. Food still one of the best albums for me

[@aukofx6393]

if you liked madlib's work, check out Yesterdays New Quintet it's madlib playing every instrument of a jazz quintet thru samples, absolutely brilliant
