Context YMMV / MFDOOM

Go To

1* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: Most would cite ''Music/{{Madvillainy}}''.
2** His albums released under his Viktor Vaughn and King Geedorah aliases are worth checking out.
3* ContinuityLockout: While it isn't super-hard to get caught up, some aspects of DOOM's work rely on the listener knowing a bit about his backstory and other work, and the fact that he did not always release his work under the MF DOOM/DOOM moniker.
4** One notable example is "Viktor Vaughn" on "Fancy Clown" off ''Madvillainy'' - the song becomes a lot funnier when you know that it is DOOM in his Viktor Vaughn persona [[TalkingToThemself rapping to himself]] on the track, but many first-time listeners may not be aware, as ''Madvillainy'' was one of his breakthrough works.
5* HarsherInHindsight: DOOM's collaboration with Music/{{Gorillaz}}, on their album ''[[Music/DemonDaysAlbum Demon Days]]'', is titled "November Has Come". DOOM would pass away on October 31, 2020, the day before November.
6* MemeticMutation: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ZrYFGigX8k I'm here to see MF DOOM]]
7** Doritos, Cheetos, or Fritos.[[note]]A memorable lyric from "Accordian" that has become frequently quoted in memes by fans, often depicting them as his [[TrademarkFavoriteFood Trademark Favorite Foods]] or joking that he rapped exclusively about them.[[/note]]
8** This is MF DOOM[[note]]Comedic edits which take the instrumental of the first verse of "One Beer" and set it over footage of people [[RhymesOnADime making a string of impromptu rhymes]], with the above Spotify playlist title superimposed over the original footage, to poke fun at DOOM's rhyming style.[[/note]]
9* RefrainFromAssuming: "Hoe Cakes" from ''MM..FOOD'' is not titled "Super" or "Supa".
10* SignatureSong: The primary candidates for this are either "Doomsday", "Rapp Snitch Knishes" (for his solo work), "Accordion", or "All Caps" (for his work in Madvillain)
