A lot of people on Twitter going on about how he ‘transformed the genre’ which - and excuse my ignorance if wrong - but if anything he was unique in his style and legacy. Very much an outlier - a rapper who thrives off alliteration and clever wordplay to an extent we haven’t seen since.

He was very unique - the whole industry couldn’t be further away from him
----------------------------------------------------------------------
He heavily influenced the likes of Earl Sweatshirt and Joey Badass. You can tell by the way they rap

Fave songs - Beef Rap, Meat Grinder, Curls, Figaro, Strange Ways, Fancy Clown,

Did he influence Joey? Cant say I really hear it - had a quick google and couldn’t see any quotes about MF doom being an influence of his bar an unsourced line on Wikipedia.

Don’t know Earl Sweatshirt so can’t comment. Point still stands to though I don’t think he had much influence was more a unique separate talent.

One beer and Figaro my favs probs

Joey and Tyler were both massive fans of his, I k one that much. Can definitely hear a bit of Doom in Earl is well though

Joey rapping over MF Doom production at 17

Joey Bada$$ was definitely influenced by DOOM. Lots of references and samples on his EPs/mixtapes.

Going to Edins original point, I don't think DOOM "transformed the genre" as such. Certainly seems to have been a favourite among many other rappers though, and as such he surely influenced many to an extent.

Clear MF Doom influence

Being a fan and influencing the genre do differ somewhat though

Big Daddy Kane is the OG ‘your favourite rappers favourite rapper’

Think Rakim holds that title tbf.

Ah yeh true

DJ Muggs & Rome Streetz dropped a banger recently.

Death and the magician is dece, yeah.

Portishus by Hus Kingpin is an interesting project if you were a fan of Portished.

Muggs had the drums rattling tbh and Rome kills it as usual these days.

No overall theme with interwoven stories and whatnot...just bars.

I mean there is a theme...Muggs come through with some haunting beats to go with album title...but that's about it.

Another favourite of mines. He killed that project.

Most of the samples come from Dummy.

Get off of Hus' twitter diiick, ffs

I don't just praise Hus on twitter. I do it for all my favourite artists in the underground scene. Rome, Che Noir, Ransom, Asia, Smoovth, Griselda, Ty Farris, Bub Rock.

Paak probably gets the most praise from me. I even directly tweeted and pleaded that man to come to SA

No use complaining about the state of rap when you don't take time to promote the good music that gets put out.

Planet Asia dropped Block Shaman btw...I haven't listened to it yet though.
