Mos Def Praises MF DOOM, Compares Against Lil Wayne

As one of Hip Hop’s more innovative lyricists, it would be safe to think that Brooklyn rapper Mos Def has a wide variety of musical influences. In a recent video conversation, Mos revealed to Frolab that DOOM (formerly MF DOOM) is one of these artists, as well as gives his stance on a DOOM/Lil Wayne battle, the significance of Madvillainy, and why DOOM’s music is similar to De La Soul.

Reciting the chorus from “Rapp Snitch Knishes,” Mos Def went into full-on fan mode, rhyming, “Rap snitches, telling all they business / sitting in court, and be their own star witness / do you see the perpetrator, yeah I’m right here.” Amazed by the lyrical prowess of DOOM, Mos pleaded, “This song needs to be out, and it needs to be a hit.”

Continuing to recite lyrics off MM..Food [click to read], most notably “Rap Beef,” Mos Def confidently remarked, “I’d bet a million dollars on DOOM against Lil Wayne.”

“He rhymes as weird as I feel,” Mos said. “When I saw that Madvillain record [click to read], I bought it on vinyl, and I didn’t even have a record player. I bought it just to stare at the album. I stared at it and I just kept going, ‘I understand it.’ Cause you know I was a teenager growing up listening to [John Coltrane’s] Love Supreme and [Miles Davis’] Bitches Brew and [Charles Mingus’] The Black Saint and the Sinner Lady, but I was also rhyming.”

Continuing the musical comparisons, Mos Def explained how he finds DOOM’s approach to rapping as a more rugged version of De La Soul. “The closet that anyone came to abstract in that way or just that wild energy and raw shit was De La [Soul], but they’re very neat…They’re on some Steely Dan shit; their shit is really thought out.” Proving his point, Mos ended with a few bars from DOOM’s “Kookies” that deserves repeating. “Supposed to be checking emails, only get messages from ass-naked females…they on the Internet with their curls out / and they got a better sales pitch than the girl scouts.”

Mos Def’s long-awaited album The Estatic is expected for release this summer on Downtown Records, while DOOM’s Born Like This [click to read] is available now on Lex Records.

Im down with GLC

I have 2 of his mixtapes and was wondering what Ye was waiting for to push him a little harder.

Dude reminds me of Bun B, with his tone and cadence. Pretty slick. I like how he doesnt take himself too serious
 
Just wanted to share some J-live with you all. In my opinion he's one of the best hip hop emcees out there. Pretty much everything he does is amazing.

I also wanted to give some respect to an Ohio group called Soul Position. With Blueprint and RJD2, you know it's going to be good.

Aceyalone, he's not always the most consistent emcee out there, but he's got some good stuff. This one is probably my favorite.

I can go on and on about Run DMC and how epic they were, changing hip hop with such classic albums as "King of Rock" and "Raisin' Hell" and all their great tracks, but I'll just let Eminem's induction speech here do the job:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dNiDPXS-0jU

I was there last night in the lower balcony surrounded by sad and angry Metallica fans, but this was truly a highlight of the ceremony. Eminem was not the first artist I'd think of inducting Run DMC (more along the lines of Jay Z (who was in attendance, and went waltzing about the Galleria too), LL Cool J, or the really obvious Russel Simmons), but he did a great job with his speech. It showed how Eminem respects the pioneers and the impact they had on hip hop, the importance of two turntables and a microphone.

What you didn't see in the Youtube clip sadly were the acceptance speechs by Rev Run, Darryl Mac, and Jason Mizell's Mother. Run talked about Russel having this crazy idea of mixing rap and rock scratches to create their sound and give them their name. Mac discussed the importance of loving your children, because one day they could be inducted into the Rock Hall (also to look out for his solo artist induction in 25 more years). Finally, Mrs. Mizell talking of how she never questioned her son's destruction of turntables and the the blessings he brought to her and the family with his legacy.

Sadly, Run DMC did not do any kind of performance (I was expecting a Metallica/ Run DMC rendition of "Walk this Way", but didn't happen). But it wouldn't feel right without Jam Master Jay cuttin' on the equipment. Still, seeing them inducted was a real treat for the night.

Two rap groups are now in the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame in Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five and now Run DMC. Let's keep that ball rolling...
