| Author | Topic: Mf Doom Lip Sync Scandal |
Total Posts: 11 Member Since: 2007 | posted Friday, August 17, 2007 7:20:35 PM  I am making the rounds everywhere I can to expose the scam that MF Doom tried to run in California this past week. I went to his show in SF at the Independent and it was a circus. Someone with Doom's mask took the stage but it was clearly not Victor as this dude was a little shorter and had no sign of the pot belly that Doom has (and still had when I checked out his NY Rock the Bells performance on YouTube.) This impostor tried to lip sync through the set, but people started to catch on quickly and the "performers" just cut out after less than 20 minutes. I thought it was strange that the management at Independent announced before "Doom" took the stage that there was to be "no cameras, video, or cell phone cameras of any kind". This is standard, but it's never been announced so adamantly. Team Doom was hoping to pull a fast one. They did this in L.A. a few days before coming north to SF. I have lost all respect for MF Doom. He is now Milli Vanilli to me. But at least those jokers showed up and danced! This dude was probably still partying in New York while his entourage tried to cover for him and collect the money. Sorry Victor. Didn't work. Now your name is tainted forever. Dont support this impostor. We need to clean up Hip Hop.Partial IP: 34.206.108 |

Doom, as an MC, is boring as fuck most of the time, but he makes some decent to alright beats PLUS he's a genius for this.
He could be "performing" in 8 different venue's at once, make 8 times the money. Genius.Partial IP: 109.81.220 |

Now that's whats wrong with Hip Hop and society today. Thank you for wrappin it all up Gully. We have all come to expect and accept bullshit. Not only accept it, but praise it as "genius"?! Einstein was a genius. Russell Simmons I might call a genius. MF Doom is a two-bit slickster punk bitch. See, I actually care about the future of hip hop. Too many of you are content with letting Hip Hop rot by supporting wack, fake, shady motherfuckas like Doom.Partial IP: 34.206.108 |

I don't support DOOM (never have, never will), but you're willingly paying to see a grown man in a mask perform shitty songs on a small stage. What thee fuck did you expect? You think he gives a fuck about you guys enjoying his performance? Dude's a known snake, Grimm's spoken on it many times.
All he does is release mediocre beat tapes & shitty album after shitty album, solely because his fan base eats it up.
Maybe you should look into supporting some artists with the drive, integrity & passion for this shit. That way you can avoid a replay of this situation.Partial IP: 109.81.220 |

The only way he can truly save his rep is if it was him and he had some fucked up throat issues last minute or something. I'm just saying, this guy was talking shit about ?uestlove not showing up to Toronto and ?uest just cut him up because he had a legit reason...
Seriously though, if all this shit IS true, he doesn't deserve anybody's money...it's not fuckin funny! I went to a show last week with Abdominal headlining (pretty respected in Toronto and UK)...the guy played for NINE people...5 of which were in the group that played directly before him!!! That's how much he cares about his fans (all four of us lol).
Anyways, summary: if he's sick, he's sick, that's shitty. If he wasn't sick DON'T TAKE THIS SHIT!Partial IP: 07.220.106 |

I was pissed that Doom tried to run a scam last Wednesday night in SF. I dont know if he's sick, dead, or just doesnt give a shit, but he had the option as a professional to cancel his show if he was unable to make it. Dont treat us like suckas (especially in the Sucka Free!) Now that Ive had a few days to calm down and do some research on his bio, etc. I have come to realize that this is actually an interesting story. He fell off the earth before between like 93-97 after KMD fell apart. Then he gave birth to Metal Face and all these alter egos and has never been photographed without the mask ever since. He really is like a comic book character and this is just the latest edition in the series. Where is MF Doom? Who's behind the mask? What will become of Viktor the Slikstor? I wont buy any more of his shit, but I do want answers. I want to read the final chapter...Partial IP: 34.206.108 |

I must agree though, it is a great way to market. Mufucka gets paid no matter what.
I may not like duke's music, but I can respect his hustle. Him and 9th Wonder probably get more hate from other underground artists, than any other underground rappers or producers, but it shows why.
These cats know how to make bank, while most of these other undergrounder nobodies worry about rent every month, these cats know how to exploit the basic cliches of underground hiphop fans.
