[NEW] MF Doom - "Ballskin"

The Metal Faced Doom returns from his hibernation to rip this joint to shreds. Yes, the name of this track is "Ballskin." No, I'm not proud of it. But fuck it, what are you gonna do, NOT listen to it? Didn't think so. This one appears on his upcoming 2009 release Born Like This.

MF Doom Returns.

MF Doom is dropping the "MF" in his name, and is also dropping a new album. And it's coming October 21. The album titled Born Into This, will feature production from J Dilla and Danger Mouse, as well as guest appearances from Raekwon and Ghostface. It's his first album in over 3 years. He's probably been hard at work in this studio, that's why he's been missing all those concert dates. Right.

[NEW] Jake One feat. MF Doom - "Trap Door"

The Metal Faced super villain is back. Considering his recent shenanigans, I wonder if this really him. Regardless, "Doom" teamed up with producer Jake One for his new project, White Van Music to rock this track. The beat is dope, and Doom rides it in his typical monotone rumble tumble fashion. Jake One was the man behind the boards for De La Soul's "Rock Co Kane Flow" which was host to one of my favorite Doom appearances ever. If it was really him.

Fake MF Doom.

So I've heard rumors and stories about Doom not showing up for shows, but instead having a stand-in, a Doom imposture if you will, show up and lip synch to the CD while hiding behind his Metal Face mask. Well, evidently this happened again. It went down this weekend at the biggest hip hop festival of the year, he Rock The Bells show in Los Angeles. Doom was the headlining act for the secondary stage, and when it was time for him to perform...well, he wasn't really performing. In fact, it wasn't even him.

I was at the show, but not at the stage when it went down (Nas was performing on the main), but I heard the ruckus. People were PISSED. Watch the video, the fans knew within the first 40 seconds that something was mad fishy. They started booing and throwing shit on stage immediately. Evidently, this wasn't the first time he's done this to Guerilla Union (the company who puts on the RTB event), in fact, he was performing this year in order to make up for him pulling this same fuckery on them before. The worst part is, they paid him upfront. Needless to say, the fans and Guerilla Union were not happy with MF Dupe. Or should we call him Masked Fake Doom?

This begs the question. Is MF Doom even real? Is it really one person? We all know he has like 17 different aliases. He ALWAYS performs with the mask and wears it in interviews and photo shoots. Has anyone ever really met him sans-mask? Have we been duped the whole time?

Why do people still pay him to perform? It's only a matter of time before he's blackballed from the industry. And I bet he's sitting in a lounge chair right now laughing at all of us.

J Dilla + Ghostface + MF Doom = EPIC.

Holy shit...my boner just got a boner.

These three dudes evidently made music together. Stonesthrow is even more evidently releasing it.

“In late 2005 Ghostface Killa and MF DOOM were both recording over tracks from J Dilla’s instrumental opus, Donuts, which saw release the following February. Some of these were released on Ghostface’s Fishscale in 2006, while others, including a Dilla-Doom project, were postponed indefinitely after J Dilla’s passing. Two of these tracks, “Sniperlite” and “Murder Goons,” will be released digitally, exclusively through Stones Throw’s webstore, due to launch in late June.”

Could you imagine a full Dilla/Doom project? Could my speakers even handle that much dopeness oozing out of one place?
