MF DOOM FULL DISCOGRAPHY SERIES
This dovetails nicely into releasing the first three volumes of Special Herbs, his 10-volume instrumental series - a series we’ll cover in a later feature. A year later, he released the split EP with henchman MF Grimm wonderfully called MF EP, in which his half is entirely instrumental. The title of the latter begins to feel less rhetorical and more a legitimate request for an answer in hindsight: once Daniel Dumile, then Zev Lov X, and now MF Doom, Metal Fingers and King Ghidra, “Who Do You Think I Am?” sounds like, “No, really, who am I?” No wonder he spent a lot of the four years between Doomsday and Take Me to Your Leader, his first-and-only album under the name King Geedorah, outside of the spotlight.Īnd so, this time period is one where Doom as a rapper and star largely takes a backseat. Doomsday signaled the subtle beginning of Dumile’s love of assuming an ever-shifting array of personalities, appearing under the name King Ghidra on “Red and Gold” and “Who You Think I Am?”. By 1999’s Operation: Doomsday, he’d learned to own that truth, though it wasn’t without psychological ramifications. Whether he’s Dumile, MF Doom or Zev Love X, he’s an ever-shifting entity that always comes back to the same brilliant man.
MF DOOM FULL DISCOGRAPHY MOVIE
This is one of the most fantastic things about King Ghidorah – he’s always King Ghidorah, but his place in the world changes at the whims of the writers and makers of each movie he’s in.Ī multi-headed snake monster from another dimension is, perhaps, the best way to view Daniel Dumile, aka MF Doom, his many faces just a series of different heads of the same beast. Elsewhere, he’s a planet-killer sent from somewhere out in the farthest reaches of space, or most boringly, he was designed in a lab and sent back from the future to fuck up Japan (and, yes, the rest of the world).
Sometimes, he’s a god from a different dimension. That’s scary enough, but the canon is deliciously murky on the exact nature of his existence. Well, really, he’s just one thing: a giant, three-headed dragon. In Toho’s canon, the great kaiju and Godzilla arch-nemesis King Ghidorah is many things.
