Sunday Dread Becomes Sunday Doom
Last night von Hamlice and I went to see MF Doom at Seattle's Chop Suey. It was a terrific show and I know I will never tire of the medium: beats and rhymes. However, I tire quickly at all the silly fronting. Ne'er from the performers, but rather from the fans, who copy and behave in a certain prescribed hip hop way.
Well MF Doom did get a little crunk last night. And, he wore a kind of casual mask other than his legendary metalface. Instead this mask was just a little Zorro blindfold, as if he was a rhyming bandit. He is a very specifically strange performer--an incredible rapper, and a total sampling genius. The result is very pleasing and the beats just sound so hard and good so loud. My only complaint was that it was a little on the slim side, timewise. But then again, it was a Sunday night and MF is like 45 years old or something.
"Hoe Cakes" was a standout, as were pretty much all the tracks he played from "Madvillany."
Like he himself says, MF Doom is like DB Cooper...
