He has one of the highest rated albums of all time with madvilliany. He's worked with every great producer. His music has been remixed by the likes of thom yorke and other alt rock stalwarts. He did a rap album about adult swim(this may not seem relevant but it was).

Every rapper(generalization) cites Doom as an influence.

Going back to his delivery, if you look at every track that doom has shared the same beat with, doom is clearly better.

while doom slices through it with razor sharp edge

None of this actually answers my question, though. He certainly wasn't relevant in the long gap between Mr Hood and Operation Doomsday, and he honestly didn't make much of a splash until Madvillainy, which Madlib actually made into a good album. Without him it's just another mediocre Doom release. His career arguably peaked with Dangerdoom, which imo was corny and uninteresting.

p.s. Thom Yorke is just showing love for a fellow pedophile.

Didn't care for it. As always, his delivery sounds almost intentionally sloppy. Maybe that's his thing. I'm not into it.

If you want to stick around here I suggest you drop posting this crap in every post.

perhaps you would care to go back and answer some of my prior questions you decidedly ignored?

Not true. Yes he had a tumultuous period after the kmd, but, among other things, he still helped promote fondle em records, which later become stones throw label. Arguably the two most prominent underground labels of the past two decades.

I'll concede that this is a very funny remark

What you keep calling sloppy I keep hearing as very dexterous and pinpoint, if you don't mind humoring another example:

I just scanned our conversation and I can't find any questions I didn't answer other than the request to name a rapper who stayed relevant longer/had a more illustrious career. I was calling into question the premise of that request. I could name any number of rappers who had longer and/or more illustrious careers, but that would only lend credibility to what I see as a faulty premise.

You're setting the bar pretty low for 'relevance,' then. I guess I could say then that Too $hort has stayed relevant since 1987.

Maybe sloppy isn't the right word. How about awkward?

That track honestly isn't bad. He has his moments. Believe it or not I used to be a fan.. I've heard enough of his music to know what I think of it.

I disagree. The amount of media attention too $hort has gotten ranges from minuscule to non-existent, not using this as an barometer of his talent or influence since his career began, but i don't think it's at all comparable to doom. Doom has been covered in the new yorker. Too $hort hasn't left a mark like doom has. It's debatable, i understand.

I can see it. I think Doom has been rapping so long now he has to find ways to make it interesting for himself. His contrived off kilterness is something i enjoy and makes it more interesting for me to listen to.

For example how he raps on this track(with yo boi ghost)



hope to fix the problem with the wack opinion doohickey

It's all too apparent neither of us have any hopes of changing each others view on the matter but good chit chatting it

My point was that if Doom doing some promotion for some obscure label counts as 'staying relevant' then so does dropping a new album every 2 years. Obviously I don't actually think $hort is still relevant in 2013.

You're crazy to say he made less of a mark than Doom, though. He helped to invent the entire west coast sound.

Is "Venomous Villain" any good?

Pretty good. Not as good as Vaudeville Villain though. Fall Back/Titty Fat is one of my favourite DOOM songs though.
