- asyncscrum 6y agoSo much this. Man's the GOAT. And learning about his death months after is so DOOM. Condolences to the family. I like to think he was a legend at home like he was in the booth.

I go back and listen to it often and always find something new. +1 on changing the post title to all caps. This news also probably deserves a black bar. MF DOOM was the greatest lyricist in hiphop and influenced a generation or more of artists. RIP MF DOOM, Viktor Vaughn, and King Geedorah.
- saeranv 6y agoAgreed. And Madlib was always promising there'd be a sequel, but from what I understand MF DOOM always flaked. So all we have is that one perfect album.
- joegahona 6y agoWhy all caps? Is it an acronym?
- Lammy 6y agoThe traditional comic book style lettering is also ALL CAPS which may have influenced his preference https://i.imgur.com/Po3IJAa.jpg https://i.imgur.com/Po3IJAa.jpg
- anon9001 6y agoI think it's part of the aesthetic of being a comic book villain, because comic books are typically in all caps.
- anonymfus 6y agoBecause he wrote it that way. Because it's a scream, and all caps are a way to express screaming in text.
- mateo- 6y agoit's from his song All Caps. "Just remember ALL CAPS when you spell the man name"
- 1_over_n 6y agoI think part of the all caps thing thing is world building and relates to the graffiti influence in hip hop. All caps being and hand style used in many graffiti tags (and the MF DOOM tag). With DOOM a lot of the time you have to infer the meaning of a rhyme from what you know about DOOMs influence and his other works. "He write "VIK" in a sick demented handstyle" -Viktor Vaughn (another alias), Raedawn.
