MF Doom

Daniel Dumile (IPA: duːməleɪ) (born January 9, 1971, in London, England) is an American hip hop artist who has taken on several stage names in his career - originally Zev Love X, most famously MF DOOM, and in side projects as King Geedorah, Metal Fingers and Viktor Vaughn. In considering Dumile's quoteable lyrics it is just as important to observe single lines as is how they fit in the context of a complex set of lines or verse.

Take Me To Your Leader (King Geedorah)

 * The Fine Print
 * "This just in: they ain't even worth the worr
 * Lying on their first birth and couldn't even hurt a Smurfberr
 * Hear ye, hear ye! How dare y
 * Go up against the king who do his thing tri-yearly
 * They're too carefree with their mouths around her
 * Off with his head, and display it at Town Square"


 * Anti-Matter
 * "Excuse me Mister, do she got a sister
 * Who He not to kiss her? True, she do got a blister.
 * Not a movie-plot twist like a Twizzler-
 * If I needed my meat burnt, I'd go to Sizzler.
 * Gettin' paid like a biker with the best crank
 * Spray it like a high-ranked sniper in the West Bank
 * Type to just blink and don't show much pity
 * When I'm in the city, I always keep a Dutch with me.
 * Touch her titty
 * Til she asks me where the trees is at
 * Or tell me 'Don't squeeze that.' Rats wanna tease a cat
 * Let the dog beg, wait up
 * Who talkin'
 * DOOM with the hogleg, straight up New Yorkin'."
 * Who talkin'
 * DOOM with the hogleg, straight up New Yorkin'."

Operation Doomsday

 * I Hear Voices
 * "On the slow-mo the calm artist with the so-so chick
 * Chased them all like Cairo did to Slobodan Milosovik
 * Anyhoo, how 'bout them Yankees?
 * Once I leave off-stage the party people thanks mee's
 * If I may speak freely nasty like the freaky-deeky
 * At your local sleazy speak-easy"

Vaudeville Villain (Viktor Vaughn)
