What's the difference between these?
I recently discovered MF Doom, and I like him a lot. I'm not really heavy into gangsta stuff, but if it's good, I'll pick it up. I like clever lyrics and beats that rip my spine out of my ass.

Might aswell use the magic of youtubes to give you a sneak peak.









There, enjoy!

[Bendigo]

Check out MF Doom.

I picked up "Madvillain" today, and I'm hooked.

Yeah, I checked out "The Mask" feat. Ghostface, and it blew me away. That song was in my head all day.

Right on...

MF Doom is one of my favorites for sure. His lyrics are kind of schizophrenic but his flow is unmatched IMO. The way he goes in and out of the beat is amazing.
