In honor of DOOM week here at Frolab, and in anticipation of the new Ecstatic album coming soon from Mos Def, we share with you some studio moments with Mos dissecting his favorite DOOM lyrics. In addition to a challenge to Weezy (hilarious), Mos talks about why he respects the Supervillain’s approach to hip hop and mentions some of his early influences.
“Every week is mystery meat!”
Damn, I miss memorizing lyrics to songs!!!!
great to see a lyrical mcees giving dues to another, gotta say I cant wait to see Mos Def in South Africa in a couple of weeks.
this is exactly how i explain to people why i like doom so fucking much….i mean god damn every bar is nothin’ but jewel after jewel
This is why I always laugh and scratch my head when cats say they aint feelin DOOM at all…….and unfortunatly I know alot of cats who say that. DOOM is always spittin the illest shit and always has some of the craziest beatz! Mad props Mos on being up on DOOM!
DOPE AS FUCK! DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM.
Couldn’t have said it better. Doom’s a beast
No question, two of the mc’s that make me still love hip hop, but who is going to step up and say it clearly: not cool to have the song Batty Boys on your album in 2009.
I, too, bought that record for the same reason. I haven’t opened it YET. I play the CD and mp3s all the time, and love the new album.
fare !!
