MF DOOM Daniel Dumile Also Knows As MF Doom Was an Influential MF DOOM Daniel Dumile also knows as MF Doom was an influential rapper from New York, whose music created and impacted culture. After losing his brother and disbanding from KMD in 1993, Doom reemerged into the rap game around 1998 doing open mics while wearing a Doctor Doomsday mask and taking on a villain persona. Doom felt outcasted by the music industry after his experiences with KMD, feeling like a misunderstood villain to the rap game. His debut LP “Operation Doomsday” was a masterpiece. Creating beats sampling elevator like music while his lyrics were dense. Dooms persona of being a misunderstood villain is portrayed throughout the album, speaking on the war he wages with the rap industry while also recoiling on the loss of his brother. Musically compared to his later work most would say it does not compare, which is true but it marks the beginning of Doom and the impact he would draw on Hip-Hop. The most popular and iconic album of Dooms is Madvillainy which exposed the underground indie rap to the mainstream. Breaking down walls in hip-hop and the black community for future generations. Doom displayed his finesse of the English language while keeping his style of harsh language. Rappers of today like Earl Sweatshirt, Tyler the Creator, Mick Jenkins, etc. Have had the doors opened to them by Doom. Doom was unique and didn’t hide the quirks that made him different from the popular hip hop and black culture of that time. Doom sadly passed in October of 2020 devastating the people who loved his music and those inspired by his career. MF Doom was a legend not only in hip-hop but black history. .

  • Hip Hop As English Curriculum A
    BETWEEN THE LINES: HIP HOP AS ENGLISH CURRICULUM A THESIS Presented to the University Honors Program California State University, Long Beach In Partial Fulfillment Of the Requirements for the University Honors Program Certificate William Godbey Spring 2018 1 2 Acknowledgements This thesis would not have been possible without the help and guidance of my advisor, Professor David Hernandez. This was a somewhat unorthodox topic, yet he not only took it in stride, he believed in my ability to continue the conversation on this topic in a new and insightful way. I owe him great thanks for this. I would also like to thank my family for their never-ending support and love not only through this process, but through the entirety of my college experience. Especially to my mother, who was always a phone call away if I ever needed assistance or to touch base back home. I owe you all so much for your encouragement and belief in me. and to Breanika Schwenkler, for always having my back. 3 ABSTRACT Between the Lines: Hip Hop as English Curriculum By William Godbey Spring 2018 This thesis examines the effectiveness of introducing hip hop into English curriculum at a high school level. To showcase this, this thesis presents a framework, broken up into three sections, that highlight the ways hip hop lyrics can be used to teach a variety of different literary devices, historical contexts, and how to analyze a text beyond its surface value. The three sections include Simple Literary Devices, Complex Literary Devices, and Contexts. Each section is demonstrated with a unique song and artists, to show how this framework could function as well as the versatility of talent in hip hop.

It is becoming one of the most dominant genres in the world and influencing popular culture more and more as the years go on. One of the main things that makes hip hop unique from other genres is the emphasis on the lyricist. While many other genres will have a drummer, guitarist, bassist, or keyboardist, hip hop is different because most songs are not crafted in the traditional way of a band putting music together. Because of this, the genre tends to focus on the lyrics.

Frost 1 Madeleine Frost Dr. Duneer ENGL 327 30 April 2021 Intrigue and Identity: MF DOOM and Tommy Orange’s There There English author Virginia Woolf wrote, “I am not one and simple, but complex and many” (Woolf 57). Woolf analyzes the role of identity and perception as she suggests an individual does not have one identity, but many. Her analysis alludes to the idea of many individuals struggling with defining themselves and absorbing one, distinct identity for others to perceive them with. Individuals sometimes create several personalities to present to others depending on their audience. British-American rapper Daniel Dumile, also known as MF DOOM functions as an example of an individual who has multiple identities. His, however, has relation to his musical career as he creates several personas, some with a physical mask, for when he performs. In a similar way, Tommy Orange presents numerous Native Americans that struggle with their identity in his novel There There.
