Bringing out the best in one's own abilities, seeing it without jealousy in those of others and being honest about the greatness of others. A beautiful way of thinking and being. Western Civilization could learn a lot from this little explorered jewel "Rap/Hip Hop". It encompasses all that is life. The good, bad, beautiful and ugly.

[@notoriousvic]

Questlove: It was the Voodoo record-release party for D’Angelo [in 2000], and Mos Def showed up in his kitted-up, chauffeur-driven van with music blasting. He rolled down the window and said to me, “Yo, you gotta get in here.” I tried to convey to him that Mark Ronson and I were DJ-ing the party, but he was like, “No, man. We gotta have a discussion.” I was preparing myself for some kind of deep talk, but he just started preaching the gospel of DOOM. I’m talking a 40-minute monologue, almost something like a Jehovah’s Witness would preach, trying to convert me to a new religion. He was like, “Do you understand the majestic gift that is Operation: Doomsday?” At the time, I had been listening to it with a different set of ears. [I said] “Oh, is that Zev Love X’s project?”Before Mos turned me around, my early thoughts of Operation: Doomsday, and skimming through it, were, It’s post Wu-Tang; the loops are sloppy. Anita Baker and J.J. Fad? C’mon now … I can’t spin this in the club. My initial response was more scoff than whoa. Mos was not going to give up. He memorized that whole album like his life depended on it. He memorized it like my life depended on it. He made me listen to “Rhymes like Dimes” three times over. He was determined to convince me that it was the dopest shit out. He kept breaking it down to me until he finally planted the seed in me.

[@UriTV123]

Whenever I’m in a bad mood. I always come back to this video because it’s like I’m hanging out with Mos. Always puts a smile on my face when he recites DOOMs witty lyrics.

[@greengenes-is9ht]

This one's gonna hit different now.

[@saucy05]

Mos gonna make me go back and listen to the lyrics again.

After hearing Doom passed today I immediately thought of this video. R.I.P. MF Doom

[@m3abdi]

When I heard DOOM instant remembered Mos reciting his lyrics. RIP Villain.

[@Lorendrawn]

"I understand you." This is the best thing an artist could hear from someone who's committed their work to memory. It's the ultimate validation that the art you make is worth something to humanity.

[@shawngates9194]

i never get tired of watching this video just shows you how ill DOOM really is he need to drop some new music legend giving respect to another legend #Classic

[@jazzg4570]

Watching an alien mc geek over another alien mc the way I feel over alien mcs always brings me joy

[@ireviewshtuff]

Out of work jerks since they shut down Chippendales! EDIT: Today is December 31st, Doomsday :( May he rest.

[@thepsychicpeach8425]

They chipping nails, DOOM tipping scales

[@b2crazyeye]

I’m not gonna lie, this is the actual video that put me on to MF DOOM. Even just listening to him repeat the lines was enough to hook me.

[@joefox3190]

5:55 Mos Def, of all that have been, gets his tongue tied by MF DOOM lyrics. Wow.

[@ghazikhan7478]

"how you gonna sell crack and talk about it?" 😭

[@seanf9067]

"Pos is gonna rhyme..something strange is going to happen.."

[@pearlfountain]

RIP to the greatest we gotta appreciate our legends while they here especially Yasiin

[@MultiRomyl]

Dude Mos Def is so funny and cool, yet an amazing rapper!

[@Marx-Lennon]

RIP DOOM. had to come here and watch this video again after I heard the news. One of the greatest to ever do it. Those who know know how amazing he was. It’s a shame more don’t know this mans genius. Miss you already DOOM. Your legend will live forever....”To all rappers: shut up with your shutting up And keep a shirt on, at least a button-up”

[@BlimeyOreiley]

From Zev Love X to Viktor Vaughn, DOOM was the master.

[@saraallison9469]

Id bet a million dollars on doom against anyone

[@ROBSAVY]

If u watched that episode of the boondocks where they talk about snitching, Gangstalicious used the ‘Rap Snitches’ flow and The character is voiced by Mos Def 🤯

[@BadWolve]

RIP DOOM
