MF Doom dominated 2000s rap/hip-hop and it's not even close. His originality and flow was beyond anybody else in the mainstream at the time.

Lol get out of your DOOM bubble (all caps)

i would actually like that very much, so i'll take any suggestions you've got

>in the mainstream
what

if i'd said he was "underground" someone would have said "what" as well

you can't please everyone ig

that's an irrelevant detail anyway. point is that he kicks everyone else ass

>t.

grandpa here, the appeal about mf doom was that his music was low-fi and retro af. he was also a niche product that only existed in the shadows of dipset, young jeezy, lil wayne and g-unit.

So you think his status was comparable to G-Unit, Dipset, Kanye, Jay etc?

haven't heard the first two but i will soon. as for the second two, absolutely

>his status
I'm not gonna pull up numbers but you can't be serious.

Anyway I don't see the point in comparing him to anyone when he was always doing his own thing. Threads that start out like this are always awful and don't lead to any real discussion.

lyrics are dumb af nonsense. hes just trying to make cool sounds, anyone can do that, nothing revolutionary, basically just scatman for white hipsters lmao

xD

I mean, not exactly like the early 2000s was a high mark in hip hop. Not hard to beat the competition when the competition is at it's all-time low

i think you're right, and that's part of what inspired this thread to begin with. where's the good rap/hip-hop at in the 2000s? so far i see a few gems and a lot of trash

>hes just trying to make cool sounds

what is music, pardner?

Friendly reminder that this French guy right here made the best rap album of all time and anything else is not even close

Def Jux, MF DOOM, and Madlib covers like 90% of good 2000s hip hop

>Nas
>Eminem

Nas in the 2000s was coasting on legacy aside from Lost Tapes, which doesn't touch Doom or Def Jux stuff, and Eminem is just not good

>who is dalek?
also zev love x > doom

this is good

the sample in Hitman at 2:30 just played and i had to rewind it 4 times to comprehend the dreaded thing

anyway this is good shit so far

based, dalek and aesop shaped the underground scene into a completely different beast

gtfo Zig Forumscore fag

here's my list

good post

>this is how bad it was
damn
compare that to today when you have 100s of underground rappers with all kind of different styles releasing good music every day

okay.
what's your criticism of the Peanuts & Corn releases (Factory Seconds, John Smith, mcenroe)?
Or Oddjobs?
Or Bigg Jus solo?
Or Villain Accelerate?
you've obviously heard them all....

I've heard 10 out of the 14 albums on that list and 100s of other projects from the era.
Imagine 10 years of hip-hop being so bad you have to put 3 Doom projects, Jedi fucking Mindtricks, El-P's garbage and some canadian shit just to fill up a small list.
Today you have all kinds of hip-hop coming from all angles. Not the samey real hip-hop bullshit we had back then.

recc

I love El-P but yeah, you could make a better 4x4 out of virtually any year from the 2010s or 90s

also I can't count
