MF DOOM.
I'm not really going to pontificate much about how I feel about this MC other than to say that in my book, he is pretty much heads and shoulders above nearly every other rapper terms of creativity, lyricism, complexity and originality.
Plus, DOOM's bizarre mixtures of references from 70's TV , 80's cartoons and 90's MC acumen are right up my alley.
Apparently, GBUILDING is also an advocate. He dropped 3 projects featuring DOOM, each delving into the world of the original
Villain himself.
This particular project is a 22-track venture across several of DOOM's evolving if not schizophrenic personality sets. (Well, actually 17 if we are not counting the intro/outro and remixes.) There are definitely some gems on this joint.
Here is a little tasty treat. A G-MIX from STEELWORKS4 GRIPZ OF DOOM.
"GET 'ER DONE G-MIX2"

Why, even
Mos Def is a fan of DOOM. G took some time on STEELWORKS4 to allow Mos Def to explain what makes DOOM so special. Check out the video with a ton of GBUILDING production all over it and then go grab up the
FREE DOWNLOAD of the whole project!
These two cats definitely have mutual respect for one another. After this first video,
another surfaced like it, with DOOM making a cameo at the end of it. Later they did some shows together.
There have been some mashups on the net with DOOM over some Mos Def beats and vice versa and some buzz about a possible legitimate full project with them together on it, but I don't believe it has been verified. Until then enjoy this certified heat from GBUILDING and a link to a
special performance where
Mos Def performs Madvillain's "Accordion".
