Crazy how this post was controversial to some when DOOM has verses like this that exist

DOOM literally has everything it takes be in the goat conversation The lyricism, the influence, the classics, the flows, the impact…what else could you ask for? He was even producing a lot of his music too I don’t see how it would be a hot take to say he’s at least top 15 of oat

Bro it’s beyond me lmao there’s always going to be naysayers I guess

like bruh it’s undeniable, this man was one of the greatest emcees that have ever touch a microphone and his impact on the underground will not be forgotten

🎯🎯🎯🎯

These color coded flow “breakdowns” have been terrible for the genre

Why ?

A lotta of time they are a bit reachy and put intent where its a good chance it wasnt during the writing process. Prolly hard to explain my full reason on twitter but as someone who raps and can get really nerdy talking bout the technicals of rap its always been lame to me fr

Nothing is really special about this verse. It's so easy to rhyme when you're not telling something cohesive

this shit is trying its best to make this verse look impressive but it's just the delivery that makes it convincing lol he's not saying shit, this is coming from a doom fan btw

I'll take basic rhymes schemes that tell a great story any day over this kind of gymnastic rhyming that doesn't really mean anything except "I'm good at rapping, I'm metaphorically killing other emcees, women love me."

The longevity isn't talked about enough too, good work from the late 80s to 2020, few can match

colder than a witch tit is wild.

I don’t care what no one says this shit is ass.

Extra crazy when DOOM has dozens of verses like this

i'd say top 25 is underselling him tbh

He not saying shit tho so

This 😮‍💨 he deserves higher

Using a highlighter doesnt make it actually sound better btw

The four best hip hop lyricists of all time are Nas, MF DOOM, Big L, and Big Pun. Without a doubt, they are incredibly technical and amazing.

@SMEBmusic this and accordion alone

I can’t believe over 500 people like this shit this verse don’t even make sense nigga just babbling words together yeah the under 25 crowd probably like this shit

I cant be the only person who thinks this kinda sucks

I am probably THE whitest and nerdiest guy who will comment on this, period. My musical taste is eclectic AF, but 99% of rap/hip-hop just isn't in my wheelhouse. DOOM was, is, and always will be one of the exceptions.

He used AI to write

Only know doom from that danger doom album Cartoon Network put out

Just a whole lot of nothing. This is one rapper I could NEVER get into😂😂

Agreed

RIP to one of the most creative people to ever live. A true legend.

Sorry i dont speak nigglish

his best song imo

This is terrible, holy shit

Welp, that’s Twitter for you. 🤷🏾‍♂️

i got him borderline top 10

Yeah… this ain’t it

I wont shit on anybody who dead but no absolutely not. white people love doom because they also have less priority for rhythm. no disrespect but as a funk guy most of his songs just dont have a strong enough groove for me.

Since when was groove a determining factor on what makes a rapper great?

To me though rhythm is extremely important. For any musician but especially one who works strictly in rhythm. Theres very little melody or harmony involved, rappers are like percussionist. Technically theres rhythm to his raps of course, but for me its just not strong enough.

I like DOOM but bro’s just saying shit

This is one of the single greatest rap performances in the genre’s history
