DAMN. And it was 2 months ago on Halloween! Crazy that your favorite rappers favorite rapper passes away 2 months ago and the world never knew until today.
RIP.
Remembrance from the first time I ever heard him.
A Gas Face can either be a smile or a smirkWhen appears, a monkey wrench to work one's clockworkPerkin his brim to the rim of my cupDon't tempt me, you're empty, so fill'er up!Is I'm talkin coffee or cocoa, is you loco?Cash or credit for unleaded at SunocoKMD and 3rd Bass is just ace in the holeI mean soul, so make the Gas Face (HUAHAHA)Damn, if looks could killYou look like host was a ghost from your grillBut still, what's the new fed, to recollectTo our passing phase to facades to '80-decaFor my label reads Hood, street might have a tattooDon't pick any card or no rabbit from my hatNever a magician if I ever tricked em"Oh shit!" Another Gas Face victim
That's how I kicks it, for 80-deca---

RIP :( What the fuck 2020.
 
oh shit... damn man, DOOM was like immortal in my head, like he'd still be putting out albums of doomish shit forever. losing a living legend sucks.

that KMD verse was also my first exposure to him, and on the first rap album I ever had, as a like... 6-7 year old?
 
RIP, DOOM.

I am thankful for having gained & learned so much from his music, (and grateful for being able to dig deep about it here).
 
Oh my god, that's awful news. Shit. 43 years old.

I will never forget the P show in Berkeley when I was a student there, at the student union bar or something, PACKED to hell, and the crowd was jumping so hard to "The Hang Loose" that the whole PA system cut out and they finished the song a capella and still rocked it.

Seeing Double DJ like he did as well, jumping from the mic to scratch interludes, was kinda mind blowing to me as a fresh faced turntablism nerd too. Scratching didn't have to be for 80 dudes in hoodies stock still squinting at somebody's knuckles vibrating on a stage, it was for a fucking party. Their music has been part of my life since I was fifteen. It's the rap I recommended to cloistered types in New Zealand who didn't "get" the genre yet. Some great live memories and great records.

I love his music, I hope it lives forever. Thanks for the memories. Peace to Thes and all family. Really bringing a tear to my eye.
 
I guess it is time to start a new thread for 2021. Though I still have hopes that things will get better.
