you can tell doom is just a hip-hop head. during the whole interview he can barely remember his own tracks/albums or talk about movies or comic books....but as soon as he starts talking about his favorite artists growing up he lights up and goes on forever.

[@HalSamuel]

It's strange, I can definitely hear the old Zev Love X in Doom's voice in this interview. Benji B did a great job, because he really cares. I think that's all it takes.

The world is changing, things are changing rapidly and his passing defines an era ending to me.

***** EARTH PEOPLE

[@bokay3900]

***** It's funny because I have a story about that album: I used to listen to the radio a lot and I would try to catch this show called "Ital Vibes" on friday mornings at 3am....It was a reggae show. Well one morning while tuning in I noticed the regular program wasn't on. They were playing hip hop. I called in to the station and asked "Where's DJ Ben?". The dude told me that Ben was out for the week and that he was a DJ from San Fransisco named Q-bert, and he was filling in. I asked him to play something from the Wildstyle soundtrack. He said he would if he could find it. I continued listening and he must've played the entire Dr. Octagon album that night and I really liked it. I thought the voice was familiar and I realized it was Kool Keith. I recorded "3000" and "Spacepeople"....It was '96' and I never stopped playing the album since.

[@bokay3900]

***** I started listening to Dr. Octagon after Tupac had died. I couldn't deal with the "gangsta" genre any more. I needed a new breath of fresh air and Dr. Oct did it for me. I always knew Kool Keith anyway from Ultramagnetic- Critical Beatdown

siordamc Madlib said in an interview with Adult Swim a couple of years ago it's going to be a continuation of the first Madvillainy and from what I've heard of the 'Madvillainy 2' cuts floating around, it sounds dope. I don't think they care about how well recieved Madvillainy was or the legendary status its achieved so it's probably just going to sound like whatever they are feeling when they record it.

Certain people trying to play up the fact that Doom was born in the UK...but there's no credible way he can be classified as a British rapper. He may have been born in the UK and currently lives their once again.....but he first moved to the States when he was still a baby and didn't move back to UK until he was about 40 years old...which is why he has a clear American/New York accent. His formative years and creative style was formed in America.
