Ultimately, DOOM will echo through the decades because he was larger than life. And his solo career was just as kaleidoscopic, as he released solo albums not only as MF DOOM, but also under pseudonyms Viktor Vaughn and King Geedorah. It’s one of the many acclaimed collabs of DOOM’s career, from his early days with trio KMD (as Zev Love X) to team-ups with Danger Mouse, Czarface, Bishop Nehru and many more. He earned it, in part, by releasing one of the most beloved albums of the 21st century: Madvillainy, his 2004 collaboration with DJ/producer Madlib, which the duo released as Madvillain. Artists from Busta Rhymes to Thom Yorke have paid tribute to DOOM, whose influence and artistry transcend the genre in which he operated.ĭOOM is perhaps best summed up as “your favorite rapper’s favorite rapper,” another accolade affirmed by those who have mourned his loss. Though he had made himself relatively scarce in recent years, the enigmatic MC and producer’s death provoked an outpouring that has made his towering legacy plain. The rap landscape was irrevocably altered last week when it was revealed that MF DOOM, born Daniel Dumile (pronounced doom-ee-lay), died of undisclosed causes at age 49 on Halloween of 2020.
