MF DOOM - Books of War (The Lost Chapters) ft. RZA, Jeru The Damaja, Guru, Talib Kweli, DMX
mixed by Dash
beat produced by Omegah Red / his playlist on Spotify: spoti.fi/3OTwOI7
DOOM IS FOR THE CHILDREN by OMEGAH RED on SoundCloud: bit.ly/3yPy7Cn
RIP DOOM / Guru / DMX

[@omatix]

ok. so, a few things... This version of the melody i am using was borrowed from Omegah Red's (formerly known as Poison Flowerz) produced beat, where HE used a sample from the original composer (the song is called Kaun Komsott and is performed by Ros Sereysothea) HOWEVER, THIS VERSION IS OMEGAH RED'S VERSION, so i give credit to whom i got it from. This is a fan made remix, made by me. It will only be found HERE. not spotify, apple, or anywhere else. Here is the Original Mix: kzbin.info/www/bejne/roO1lqFqo9qJock (the original Books Of War mix) Here is the Original Sample Source: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bnnKZ32Fl7mNY6ssi=HusJqrmB8laypQPA Here is the Original DOOM song kzbin.info/www/bejne/bZLWo3R5h5J5l80 (It Ain't Nuttin' by The Herbaliser ft MF DOOM)

[@Gunn27]

I thought this was a genuine song when I heard it earlier. I have now played it about 32 times straight through and am genuinely really happy this exists. Works on every level, great effort 🙌

[@omatix]

@@Gunn27 thanks. the mix is not admittedly of the best sound quality, considering i ripped the beat AND acapella from youtube, this is quite evident. yet no one has said anything about THAT... but people saying it is not lined up just make no sense to me.

[@TheActualTed]

Agreed. There was always something off about the original Books of Wars version that has 30M+ views and I just recently learned that it is a fan edit. Yours is lined *so much* better. It sounds great.

Same, we listened to MF Doom at the Restaurant I was workin at. My little Cousin is Sous Chef for a Cajun & Soul food Restaurant called Viola&Agnes, and Chef would let us listen to music while we work. We would jam to MF Doom, Wu-Tang, Mos Def, and other rappers including Dubstep while we were Hustlin in the Kitchen.... I'll never forget those days, even though they were rough, they were some of the happiest days of my life and I'll never forget my brothers. *Nor will I forget the Legendary Rappers who kept us flowin and goin through the days with their Rough Rhymes and grace!*

RZA: I came to the shores of America disguised as a peddler The alpha and omega and the home of the beggars, the black settlers Who been beaten, raped, lynched, robbed and stoned And called to roam the earth in service cause they couldn't maintain at home This dates back to 1555 When they captured the first tribe of men and piled them in a pen Fifty feet high And took em all on a 9000 mile ride And landed on the shore of a place they never seen before But read about this inside the ancient books of war Bonded in stainless steel, stripped of their language Still survived the anguish of slavery but still remained nameless Separated to portions and tricked by John Haughty Hawkins And sold on the auction, taught birth control and abortion Rulers of the first part became slaves of the worst part The devils cursed God and reversed God And turned God into dog and made people search hard No relief came til' the prophet of W.D. Fard To a trauma, dropped our mommas off in Bahamas And Barbados, Tobago's, separated us from slave boats Made our own brothers hate us from Virgin Isle to Jamaica Trinidad, Honduras, Haiti, Grenada Bermuda to Cayman, mental enslavement Jeru the Damaja: Conquer more dips than the late Hannibal Terrain gets too rough, I ride the beats like wooly mammals Smokin' shit like Joe Camel Fatal when inhaled Double-0-seven but you still got tail Q's scrambling device must have failed Spies, thick thighs, and mics get mil, lies Deception, military prowess Bad bitches, tours, and microphone powers Chemical warfare and mortar showers Once again blowin' up shit like the Twin Towers Poison rhymes for enemies or whoever devours Holdin' shit down until the last hours Guru: Worldwide famine, poor people demanding That somebody do something soon And let's examine the facts Behind the violent acts, behind the daily gunplay The cocaine and the crack Thug season What's the reason for the trees and everybody wants to eat Some gotta resort to thievin', believin' That a hustle will help 'em get by But for anyone that gets over Another hundred will die Will I succumb, will my heart grow numb ? Or will I save the world ? By using my mind like a gun Seems a better weapon, 'cause everybody got heat I know I carry mine, since the last time I got beat Ain't nothing sweet I turn a stickup kid to a soldier, put him down with the cause Make him feel real bold and more intelligent Plus aware of the tricknology, the revolutionist Grab your shit and follow me Talib Kweli: 2000 came and went 2001 was crazy People can't deal fashion go back to the 80's Got me thinking about my n-gas, drinking dark liquor Sparks flicker in my mind, my heart quick to think about the time They try to front on a kid, up in front of Medgar Evers N--ga nailed, Juju, Seth 'n D rolled up like "whatever you wanna do" Damn n--ga, Derreck locked down, Seth held the spot down wonder how long he got now, wow If it happened today who would rob a man Junior got shot, Ray committed suicide, do or die Changed to do or live, doing their thing Rubix is in Altanta, LG ready to bang Kev lost his baby momma, Kipa lost a baby father Enough to make you say "why bother?" But no, they tried harder - that’s strength. Love to my n--ga John (word) soon as you come back, you back on. That word is bond. DMX: Yeah baby, shit's about to jump off and Lookin' for the bus to bring in my man from up north Been like three years since when got knocked Since he got caught Punked up like five new blocks, holding down for it Kept a n--ga straight with money in the books And them bitches is crooks who look out for other crooks Took him shopping, money in his pocket is straight Dropped him off at the wife's crib after we ate Our estate was the next move for me Had to make that n--ga chill for at least two to three months Cause when it's on, it's on He didn't care It's like slow down baby The money ain't going nowhere Keep in touch though and show how much your ass is with it The dope flow is there and in a minute you can get it (come on) You gotta watch a n--ga just coming home in a game Cause on the low we may just be trying to go against the grain

That background music/beat hits for all styles, fast, or slow flow, (Talib Kwali, or Guru). A choppy cadence like DMXs unique flow or a real smooth flow like Rza's. Jeru the Damaja his flow to the song was my second favorite but not long enough (not a complaint), and MF DOOM flow is perfect and can go with just about anything. I honestly thought this was a RZA produced track that is how good it is. Please keep doing these, this is hip-hop perfection right here.

3:55 that line got me. "for every one that gets over, a hundred will die" scary when u really think about it... Like every person that makes it out of their bad situation, whether it's the hood, a war-torn country, anywhere. they escape it at the cost of hundreds of others like them who werent as lucky. there are people who grow up and realize every single one of their childhood friends is dead, except them. Its crazy. and he's implying that to be the one that survives, you have to kinda 'beat' everyone else who's in the same place as you. Its the whole "kill or be killed" mentality, where even if you dont want to be a murderer- if you dont shoot this guy first, he'll shoot you. But he's thinking the same thing abt you. Thats survival. Really hurts to think about. All those lives lost, that slipped thru the cracks as another casualty, another statistic.

Yeah, he's also referencing to how people usually have to hustle others in order to come up and out of where they were due to the way so much runs on Capitalism and exploitation ("resort to feinding") whether it's selling drugs or just the way society is still built on an exploitative economy rooted in slavery (legalized with minimum wages or in the US, prison labor per the 13th Amendment of the US Constitution which permits slavery for those convicted of crimes). I'm grateful that Guru's lines included a hopeful tone throughout, plus encouraging guidance for what a path forward can look like still.
