Yes Mos Def... isn't that a Beatles sample! I Am the Walrus or am I off Third Base. Rob Base had the 80's. So Doomsday broke the mold in the 90's. I vote an honorary mention to the Hillfiguz. Absolutely chill from the hill turnin nickels into Tres. MY BOYS FROM BRWNSVILE bK. check out "Pain" on YouTube we had the big deal but Payday went away and now their nowhere but plenty of hits for the unlicensed sample from Sugar Bonner Ohio P. Oops Master P really gets the trophy. So Hillfiguz my almost made it on Hot 97 one day next night crying in my Wille B kitchen the next. Oh well that is the game... The Game? RIP Dogface... who? You mean Darrel?

This tribute to Operation: Doomsday is a wonderfully analytical yet heartfelt dive into MF Doom's artistry. Your line, ‘In art, originality is a tenuous concept,’ really struck a chord. You’ve highlighted his brilliance with just the right balance of admiration and insight.

Ranks pretty darn high for me. I recently discussed MF on my Your Top 5 series. https://open.substack.com/pub/daydreaminboutthings/p/your-top-5-f7f?r=2lfeq7&utm_medium=ios
