MF DOOM & Robert Glasper Experiment LIVE @ Itunes Festival 2012 (Figaro / Rhinestone Cowboy)

[@Douglass1]

RIP DOOM “the best emcee with no chain ya ever heard”

[@dillestvillian]

I forgot about this 😥

[@johanskold8890]

Your favorite rapper's favorite rapper.

[@wonderboy9999]

The best emcee ya ever heard😉

[@ElthaLyricist]

That "Rhinestone Cowboy" remake was LIT!! That crowd didn't realize what they were blessed to experience

[@latesmein]

Seriously dopest rhinestone I could imagine hearing

[@nnnnsaakadamanas218]

the keys sound at 2:55 figaro were beautiful too.

[@nnnnsaakadamanas218]

100% tho after listening that rhinestone remake is just phenomenal. i wonder if doom heard what they were gonna play prior- 100% he gave this more respect just in his flow

[@griot-teacher]

What a privilege, Glasper and Doom, leaving this in the universe.

[@Kevin_valdez_]

I would love a studio version of this rhinestone cowboy

[@DrGanja99]

Kevin Valdez My fav DOOM song and the studio version is OD nice

[@Beepboop42069]

To be able to capture the pianists raw vocals at the end with that melody would be incredible

[@mfdoom2587]

Today i discovered the greatest live performance i've ever witnessed

[@lambolii]

Rest In Peace 💔

[@woiowoiow190]

One of the most legendary colabs. A match made in heaven.

[@2gramsovcoke]

Yup ❤

[@sdalal1110]

I don’t even know where to begin with this performance-it’s pure, unfiltered magic. The kind of magic that grabs you and doesn’t let go, no matter how many times you watch it. Robert Glasper Experiment set the stage with this lush, hypnotic soundscape, weaving jazz and hip-hop into something that felt alive. Then, MF DOOM stepped in, his flow cutting through like a master storyteller-each bar dripping with wit, precision, and a quiet intensity only he could bring. It wasn’t just music; it was a conversation between two genres, two geniuses, speaking the same language in a way that felt otherworldly. The way Glasper’s keys danced around DOOM’s verses, the way every beat seemed to breathe-it was mesmerizing. Real hip-hop, real artistry, stripped down to its most beautiful essence. I can’t even tell you how many times I’ve watched this clip. Each time, it pulls me back in, like I’m hearing it for the first time all over again. It’s timeless, a reminder of why music has the power to move us so deeply. This wasn’t just a performance-it was a masterpiece.

[@mrmanuva3793]

Still can’t believe he’s gone 🥲

[@chrishipop5]

I love this version of Rhinestone Cowboy, it sounds so beautiful (:

[@snor20]

+Christopher Aizen it feels so good in my ears

[@4568-t6p]

This is music. Crying

[@reginaldwilliams3681]

RIP DOOM. The greatest villain of them all.

[@LucyJuicyStardust]

Such a gorgeous rendition of Rhinestone Cowboy, DANG, freakin magnificence

[@dreadedhalo]

That rhinestone cowboy was out of this world!! :O Its on repeat!!

[@mattbucher9559]

I know right! I can't stop listening to it

[@mufcsupporter1]

Anyone else feel kinda bad for DOOM when the crowd didn't know the words to Rhinestone Cowboy? Like when he paused so the crowd would finish the "he departed in a jalopy" line but there was just silence haha

[@Chevron666]

I think that was just a little musical flair Glasper's crew and DOOM likely added for this performance, like an unexpected break in the beat, not so much an opportunity for audience participation.

[@funnyboyi]

people in london love doom, hes well known in Europe theyre just vibin to the chill music

[@stillshaolin88]

+Cocaina That's not even remotely true

[@mufcsupporter1]

Cocaina Nah that's not true at all. Hip hop is masssssive in the UK, people over here in Ireland love oldschool stuff like Tupac and Biggie too. It's even bigger in Eastern Europe man, especially Poland. Check out Peja, OSTR and Paktofonika (Polish rappers, they get millions of views)

[@stillshaolin88]

Cocaina I'm sorry but again, not true. Wu-Tang Clan is extremely popular in the UK. I even think some of the best hip-hop is coming out of the UK right now with artists like Skepta and Devilman, etc. I don't know what foreigners you're talking to, but I wouldn't use them as evidence. Plenty of people in the states don't care about old hip-hop, and its going to happen more and more as time goes on. Just how it goes

[@ManningOWNsTeboww]

Such a great artist. His lyrics are like a rubrics cube. You just get so lost in them. All the barsssss

[@patriciaibiapinapatricia2060]

That’s literally it. A lyrical villain. The rhymes are so understood that it’s criminal.

[@AnimeisGarbage]

He's wearing sunglasses so he can see the crowd through the lights, rapper of the people.

[@LwiLLmusic]

Would love to hear an album with doom and glasper...nothing but live instruments

[@Boditos1]

2023 and still enjoying this shit...rip MF DOOM , one of the greatest!

[@siphiwencube434]

RIP MF DOOM, Casey Benjamin. 2024 still coming back to this performance. Timeless!

[@mjomane]

hip hop is getting classier and classier thanks to this legend, thank you DOOM!!

[@7Beyonder]

the most clear, most beautiful version of "Rhinestone Cowboy" ever ...they should release that....

[@yourbeardispatchyaf]

Derrick Hodge is killin it on that Figaro bass riff with the 5-string!

[@imaginexist]

i miss you already DOOM.

[@encdee]

Yo Doom seems like he's doing much better since moving to the U K . It's like it's been good to him and he's enjoying life with lighter spirits now. Good to see that

[@zacheagan9581]

I never realized what a pretty song Rhinestone Cowboy til this. I know a song is good when it sounds even better adapted to different instruments.

[@wav.yliving]

Lol that Rhinestone Cowboy is gorgeous. Sounds nothing like the original lol

[@khaledgee]

Songs ?

[@erickzavala1031]

@@khaledgee the sound song

[@benkelly7182]

I like how his hat better matches the version.

[@Gho5t013]

I said the same thing my favourite version, its a whole new dimension the colab album would be so dope

[@Keychain-]

that was fucking awesome. gave me me a brand new love for those two tracks. DOOM is serious.

[@yigitatalay992]

what a legend

[@Krinkels6666]

That bassline is gorgeous.

[@coolguy92328]

Does that crowd even know who he is?

[@sworder24]

If he's performing in London, believe there should be a good amount of people who know who he is. Especially if they're at a Glasper show.

[@chickenmusket12]

Rumpelstiltskin the crowd is barely mic’d up, you can kinda hear them sing along to notable bars

[@lukeknowles256]

I kinda suspect that they were hypnotized, due to this very special type of performance.

[@mikelowrey4303]

Crying my eyes out listening to that version of Rhinestone Cowboy. RIP DOOM.

[@isaiahmarshall2656]

This Rhinestone Cowboy still hitsssssssssss 😢😊

[@mattygregg6747]

Rest in Peace you eternal legend

[@alfieherbs8925]

This is too much... RIP DOOM! Thank you so much..........

[@chest_rockwell_0-0]

To the greatest villain ever. Thank you for everything!

[@Sunburntco]

5:55 Hype man: "Cumming Soon" DOOM: "Not my motto"

[@chrisa6197]

[@mudaimusic]

[@DC-Deezy]

[@tomazsajnic6013]

[@_joeham]

[@SpecialHerbs42069]

[@scottlavender729]

I wish I could see DOOM LIVE in my lifetime... I hope he gets to come back to the states cause I don't think I'm going to Europe anytime soon. Bummer.

[@itsyunggrave]

this is incredible. Long live DOOM

The rest is empty with no brain but the clever nerd The best emcee with no chain ya ever heard Take it from the Tec-9 holder They've bit but don't know their neck shine from Shinola Everything that glitters ain't fishscale Lemme think, don't let her faint get Ishmael A shot of Jack got her back it's not an act stack Forgot about the cackalack, holla back, clack clack blocka Villainy, feel him in ya heart chakra, chart toppa Start shit stoppa be a smart shoppa Shot a cop day around the way 'bout to stay But who'd a know there's two mo' that wonder where the shooter go 'Bout to jet, get him, not a bet, dead 'em Let 'em spit the venom said 'em got a lot of shit with 'em Let the rhythm hit 'em, it's stronger in the other voice We makes the joints that make 'em spread 'em butta moist Man, please, the stage is made of panties From the age of baby hoochies on to the grannies Ban me the dough rake, daddy The flow make her fatty shake, patty cake, patty cake For fake, if he was Anita Baker's man He'd take her for her masters, hit it once an' shake her hand On some ol' thank ya ma'am an' ghost her She could mind the toaster if she sign the poster A whole host of roller coaster riders Not enough tracks (is it?) Hot enough black (for ya) It's too hot to handle, you got blue sandals Who shot ya? Ooh got you new spots to vandal? Do not stand still, boast yo' skills Close but no krills, toast for po' nils, post no bills Coast to coast Joe Shmoe's flows ill, go chill Not supposed to overdose No-Doz pills Off pride tykes talk wide through scar meat Off sides like how Worf rides with Starfleet Told ya, on some get-rich shit As he get older he gets colder than a witch tit This is it, make no mistakes Where my nigga go?

[@KiloCharlieOne]

Yup dope as hell...Doom with the live backing! Bangin...REAL HIP HOP!

[@j1135]

People don't understand that during these performances, DOOM is mad low key and not too energetic, and it kind of rubs off on the crowd. And I know if I was at a DOOM show i'd shut my fucking mouth and listen to the villain preach. Although the applause at the end was pretty weak...

[@ym-no3rw]

holly shit!!!! :D i am blown away.

[@derart2458]
