I LOVE to see true emcees (especially one of Mos Def's caliber) who are not ashamed to admit they're fans of other emcees. I spotted this clip the other night on the boards featuring Mos Def in the studio (working on The Ecstatic) and talking about how amazing he thinks DOOM is. DOOM definitely doesn't get the credit he deserves. Mos proceeds to spit verse after verse from DOOM (and dissects the hell out of 'em) and even names an emcee he thinks DOOM would smash on lyrically. DOOM's album, Born Like This is in stores now (catch up if you've been sleepin'), and Mos' The Ecstatic will be out June 9th.

DOOM is the master of abstract lyricism. Even back in the K.M.D. days. I wholeheartedly agree with Mos that DOOM would eat Wayne alive and then be like, “MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM, FOOD.” Me and Mos got a mill on DOOM VS Wayne!! This offer extends to Bosses only as middlemen need ridalin!! Black Bastards!!
doom is the man. mm food is a must if u love hip hop. deep fried frenz is the shit.
damn mos knows those lyrics like i do. that’s crazy
He doesn’t own a record player??????????? Man, I got like 150 vinyls with Mos on, how can he not have a record player?
cool. it’s in sores. like cold sores? throats? but, when will it be in stores?
haha funny guy…fixed
“Phony MC’s use a stand in leave’em hangin’ like if I didn’t know where his hands been” ~Viktor Vaughn
all caps when you spell the name! DOOM!!
The Lil’ Wayne vs. DOOM comment had me in tears. So true.
We love us some DOOM in london……..tour dates?????????
I have an idea he need to call his uk tour “london DOOM”
doom is the illest! the way mos recites the lyrics is so perfect
i pulled the same shit on my boys a few years ago, DOOM = Voice of the People
Doom!!! I wish they would do a joint together.
“GOT MORE LYRICS THAN THE CHURG GOT OOOOOO LAWDZ.”
philosophical query: if mos def and mf doom were spittin bars in the forest, would it really be mf doom?
this is awesome. def is struck just like the rest of us. but how can he not be? sick rhymes is sick rhymes regardless
When is the Wayne comment said??
DOOM is sick it’s stupid that a lot of cats don’t feel him. How can you not? I don’t understand.
“rap is like a scam, spam nigerian email” DOOM is definitely the illest right now on some word play ish!!
“ride offsides how warf ride 4 starfleet”
“want a sip get a paper water fountain glass, how i’m sposed 2 know where your mouth been last”
DOOM
since when lyrical skill had to do wit killin a cat?
what kinda chitlins is that?
Doom is great! Mos Def is talented as hell! Lyricist, Actor,… Can’t wait for new music! Love from Greece!
I’ll be the what# to say it ,
I got 2,000 on DOOM Vs. Wayne
What up!!
Doom kills in any alias. But a lot of dumb fucks slept on the genius of K.M.D. To this day they don’t get mentioned when chatting about the greats. These cats rocked a conceptual album while they were mad young. A well rounded classic by any man’s standard. If you refute my claim check Mr. Hood again. They were wise beyond their years. Now the only thing that comes out of these young Emcees mouths. Is what the fifty before them already said.

finally somebody recognizes the doom as a lyricist. definitely more respect for mos after this too. not that he needs it
this is the definition of humble. exactly how it should be.
wayne!!! shhiit, keep it on the d.l hugley
Doom & Def did do a fun mixtape together I heard on imeem. Can’t remeber what it was called though?
“Got the truncheon when saw son lucheon
Nurses arguing over who’s to do the spongin”
“They called the fool retarded hair guy
in school you could spot it when he nodded here, why”
“Few could do it, even fewer could sell it
Take it from the dude who wear a mask like a tarded helmet”
Every weet it’s mistery meat… DOOM is the illest
DOOM MOOD ROCKS!!!
Doom is the sum of what he hears,sees, thinks, feels…I wish other MCs could summarize in their own way + use their skills to show that. his lyrics, rhymes, beats, samples – totally fresh! respect.
I almost forgot, Mos please get a record player!
this is the saddest day in hip hop…mos likes DOOM?! for real?! this is garbage!
how sick would a “Mos Doom” album be?
I’m with Mos. Push culture rather than product. Allow for the kinds of battles Mos suggests for fun and in the spirit of competition & entertainment by artist centered idea generation.
DOOM vs. Wayne? DOOM vs LUPE is a step above.
DOOM all capitals no trick spelling!
What I love about this is that Mos takes me back to when I really started listening to lyrics and would recite them lines. DOOM ones up every other lyricist though because his whole song is a sick one liner… that makes perfect sense in the whole.
Def vs. DOOM on imeem:

mostly Mos over DOOM beats & vice versa. not cosigned by either of them, but still dope. def worth the time to peep it.

Mos love Hip Hop. I bet half of the rappers out right now couldn’t spit another Emcee’s rhymes. Pathetic. To be a part of the game, you have to study it. Too many rappers claim to be mastered and they haven’t taken notes from other artists. Take notes little fellas.
mos just loves music. i really admire that about him. i like that comment he made re: de la soul.
“Rumor has, it was a S curl accident”
Yeah this is hot as hell. Mos is a scholar. I love Doom. But as much as I listen to his rhymes I hardly have the patience to dissect the lyrics. I do know all the words to one One Beer, though.
I have to go back to his KMD library.
mallymal777? Why is that a shock to you? A LEAST HE DIDN’T SAY THAT HE WANTED TO COLLAB WITH SOULJABOY!! DOOM IS THE BEST!!!
i hope this shuts anyone up who says doom is non sensical and makes them realize they just dont get it
dooms the best underground artist ever excluding no one
“Give a MC a rectal hysterectomy
Electron removal of the bowls, foul technically
Don’t expect to see the recipe
Until we receive the check as well as the collection fee”
DOOM is the best mainstream (he sells records, thats why i call him mainstream) rhymer in the world today.
