From the info sheet beneath it appears we may be in treat for some a new MF Doom album coming this way late October on Lex Records.
Now before I go and get in to a pant wetting frenzy I have to remind myself that during the 4 years since his last release we have also had talks of many other new releases. We were told of a new Doom LP back in April of ‘07 on Lex, Lil Sci’ mentioned he was releasing a something with the metal faced wonder in ‘06, and not to mention the brand spanking Madvillian with a supposed early ‘08 release.
Scepticism aside you can read the [official looking] blurb below. Maybe if we all cross our fingers it will come true?
Word from the big man himself - here’s the link to the new Buck album, in ‘authorised leak’ style. It’s the first in a series of three, and the rest will come shortly. I can safely say that this is absolutely insane.
Some of the best music I’ve heard for a long, long time and those who were into Vertex (so most people!) will find a lot to enjoy here.It flows as a non stop track, and there is just so much happening and well, I’ll leave the rest to you!It does have some guests - there are two people I’m not familiar with at this point (although I believe the woman is Claire Berest, she was on Secret House Against The World), as well as Doseone. And me!
I made the intro using beat parts he sent me and the track that comes in at 23:00 (on both, I edited the pieces he sent and added the rest, whether it was cuts, more edits or basslines or whatever - I’m still stunned that I was a part of it… There will be more to come too!).
So get it and enjoy! It destroys. You’ll like it.Here’s ‘Dirtbike’ (1/3)
I have only picked up little snippets here and there about this story and I hope it’s rumours but who knows at the moment…
Snippet 1
Well, MF Doom was a no-show again at last night’s New York-Tokyo Music Festival. This is starting to get commonplace for Doom, but here’s where things suddenly get pretty ominous: Pharoahe Monch came on and held a moment of silence, saying Doom was hospitalized after having a heart attack.
Snippet 2 (this was posted on the Stones Throw message board)
I got your message and I understand what you are saying about falsely reporting DOOM had a heart attack without a shred of evidence, however, I never said that DOOM died of a heart attack. I said that he was hospitalized due to complications of asthma and that it was rumored that it may have been a heart attack. The announcement of the asthma complications came before Pharoah Monch’s performance by Kenny Muhammad who was MCing the show. Then Pharoah Monch came out and had a moment of silence and a prayer for DOOM which everyone did. Somewhere along the lines there was talk of a heart attack but no one including myself ever said DOOM was actually dead.
I am huge fan of Stones Throw and all of their artists especailly DOOM. I still listen to Madvillain all the time and it is one of my all time favorite album. I’ll be seeing Percee P October 7th at Nokia and got my tickets already for the Stones Throw Showcase on December 2nd at the Highline Ballroom.
I apologize for the misunderstanding but I was just reporting what happended at this particular show. I would appreciate it if you could leave this post up so that people that got the wrong impression from my previous post can get the correct news.
Also, can someone let us know what exactly is going on with DOOM???
The message was then deleted by mods of the board.
If the rumours are to be believed we hope you get better soon Doom!
