KMD Who Me?

[NewSoundAtom]

MF DOOM

[flipgood89]

One thing we gotta keep in my is that the Black consciousness in hip hop was largely a gimmick for many. Cats like P.E were selling like hotcakes, so a lot of MC's jumped on the pro-Black bandwagon. Notice how many people jumped off that bandwagon once it wasnt considered economically viable anymore. Queen Latifah is the first one to spring to mind.

[Leemo45]

theres a white guy in the Sambo costume, hahaah.

[jokamund]

Lol at Phife Dawg at the end

[Blunted206]

WOW funny seeing DOOM when he was younger without the mask on, dope song

[qmoney000]

skinny zev haha look at the man now

[Pippalsingh]

Pigment, is this a defect in birth?

Or more an example of the richness on Earth?

DOOM

[ProffesorChaosesFile]

DOOM spitting the real shit since the beginning

[Diggy22]

It's a trip seeing MF Doom in the old school!!!! For those who don't know, he's the one with the glasses. :-D

[guitar4life9]

is that phife at 2:58?!

[Diggy22]

@guitar4life9 yep, that's Phife Diggy in the chair. :-D

[JoeyBill23]

old school rap is the beast

[IceManLikeGervin]

Excellent hiphop joint- true mathematics!

[mrgreen520]

Zev Love X vs. MF Doom

[ScaryHawk865]

5 racist bigots, 251 troublemakers, KMD was the shit back then, way before the west side even got N.W.A to..., and rest in peace our man Subroc, KMD forever

[mrtheblr]

MF DOOM!!!

[dustboy157]

Meaningful messages in Hip Hop! Peace to KMD!

[glenndez420]

KMD, Souls of mischief, Large Prof etc. What the FUCK happened?

[bondboy104]

packers hats

[odemata87]

That.Sambo looks like 90% of todays rappers in hip hop

[EnterLoserName]

Hip hop started to die for me around 1999. Especially when computers became cheaper and then any loser could make a beat, add a catchy hook to it, post it on the internet and become a one hit wonder. Anyway thanks for posting this video, it takes me back to my high school days.

[zevlovex222]

@EnterLoserName - true talk

nowadays only cheap stuff, no intellect, no "value"

KMD is the shit - my favorite rap duo

peace from slovakia

[adamguelph]

which one is mf doom

[simocekat]

@adamguelph the boy with glasses

[TarelaEye]

"Combed, Twisted, Domed, Braided or Faded the first guy played it and now we hate it?"

[chocogray]

play this for your kids

[Jshaun3000]

Great old joint. Subroc died?

[TarelaEye]

@Jshaun3000 He got hit by a car on the Long Island Expressway many many years ago google it

[RandomTask520]

@Jshaun3000 And thats why DOOM or rather ZEV Love X took a hiatus from the music industry, he went crazy and homeless after his Bro Subroc died and then in 97 of course he rose as MF DOOM, he wheres the mask now to hide the scars that the music indusrty gave him (figuratively speaking of course)

[HarpoonSlazenger]

did doom do the the beat for this?

[ktmpl]

wow..rap that says a message...record labels..ya'll definitely forgot!!!

[wigro209]

bump old skoool doom

[EricakaJaceII]

80's and 90's hip-hop was really awesome. It actually still is.

What the fudge happened? Never mind, I'm grabbing this on iTunes now. Awesome, awesome, awesome.

[inownn]

awesome classic!

[tristanm5]

lil did we know dat zev would be reborn as DOOM!!!

[bogdiiii]

I used to have a watch like that when I was a child, the big goldie one on the window 0:16

[TheJokest]

love the beat with all my

[mosbuju]

this song isn't on itunes along with many others its wrong

[erminization]

I can see what they're trying to kick however the message of this Movement was completely off base by ascribing divinity (or anything even comparable) to human beings.  There are no Gods but Allah and Muhammad is his messenger.

[garethac81]

@erminization

If you think a bunch of uneducated nomads wandering the desert 2,000 years ago knew everything there is to know about the universe, then you've got a lot to learn, my friend. Every religion claims to have all the answers, but behind those answers are nothing more than recycled myths and naive folktales...and your religion is no different. Wisdom begins where religion ends.

[erminization]

@garethac81 And your knowledge (or lack thereof) begins where sense ends. To cast a blanket judgment on this way of life without understanding what it even says and calling it "uneducated" displays in itself an overwhelming lack of education. I don't know how far going about your life like a craggy old man will take you but I highly recommend you start using your brain for a change and exercise a bit of patience before you issue verdicts like the one you have above.

[garethac81]

@erminization

I've studied religious history, researched the different world religions, and I've engaged in countless debates with believers of many different faiths. THAT'S where my understanding comes from. Are you telling me you did all that before you decided to become a Muslim?

[erminization]

@garethac81 your "understanding" comes from a game of tit for tat and oneupsmanship which is not how people tend to understand things. You will never truly understand anything unless you suspend your previous notions on how you may perceive things to be for a moment and truly observe what XYZ bit of info is trying to tell you. Unfortunately, most "religions" and ideologies cannot pass this test of appealing to both our spiritual and rational faculties. However Islam does.

[garethac81]

@erminization

That'll be a no, then. I thought as much.

[erminization]

@garethac81 No, you actually went out of your way to not think. That's a shame. It doesn't matter how much one argues and flails in the midst of truth. What matters is if one is able to truly grasp it.

[bigddagenius]

was there a reason to shelve it because of the dude hanging?? they were trying to have a lil fun and they really deserved getting their album shelved and i really feel bad for zevlot he lost his bro and was in deep denial for a ill minute but at least he got his life back on track as DOOM

[mbbx5va2]

This is simply awesome.

[0s0213]

i Wish Hip-Hop went back to this Dope beats Dope Lyrics. Not like now Rappers being known as Hip Hop Artist wtf is that? Talking about GUNs Murders Drugs ETC. So Stupid. DOOM brought back some hip hop

Madvillainy, MM...Food?, Take Me To Your Leader et al.

But Still i just appreciate the music

[Brazlaff]

@0s0213

That's just a lame excuse. There are enough interessting artists. You don't HAVE TO hear Em, JayZ and 50 all the time.

This HipHop is dead talking is sooo boring and wrong.

[LordJonnyCharlie]

SO MUCH SOUL FOR THREE LITTLE KIDS!

Ive listened to a lot of hip hop over the last.. ahem... long period of time... after all these years KMD is one of the only crews who stuck with me.

[anoteoftruth]

Look at Doom so young!

[debrai716]

look at my nigga DOOM. lol

[ALLEYCATZ1986]

mf doom baby

[produqt17]

it personifies the type of rhymes he spits, and he didn't want to be another cat who girls were like "he looks good i like him" he wants you to like him for his rhymes.

[obilinx1]

so bad zev lost his brother!! they would be still recording kmd projects.

[angryerik]

...but we wouldn't have DOOM

[CitrusOrientizal]

Rhymes Like Dimes

[Jcrack514]

[RasBoomix]

[StiLLtheILLest]

THE REAL SIDE OF THE EARLY 90'S

[JoJoJingoist]

WOW!! Happy to find this on Youtube. KMD was unique! Best song they ever did was "Humrush". The baseline was Bert from Sesame Street clearing his throat. The SHIZNIT!!!!

[Benjahmmin]

what :D? its one of my favorite kmd songs but i didnt know that :D

[Agnostic0]

Someone can tell me what is talking about the song?

Greetings from Spain!

[purleedef]

racism

[hairypitsarouseme]

Greetings knee grows! I have thoroughly enjoyed both the hipping and the hopping that is taking place in this song. I am certain you will all be pleased to know I have rated this a FIVE OUT OF FIVE STARS! Please continue to enjoy this catchy jaunt with my blessings! That is all.

[AsiaticMan777]

[crispy512]

[Mackadoeshez]

Dopeness!!

[TheMapperBeatz]

Aw man! The real hip-hop. COME BACK!

[killahkazi]

[HieroSkave]

Zev Love X

The one with the glasses

[dmacontop]

[BurbKnight]

[ironman36]

YO thats Phife from Tribe called quest @ 2:57

[treazon6]

hahaha nice spot, it is

[Nithralas]

Lol Subroc the barber, just like in the mr hood album =)

[TechnoNubian]

hip hop with a revelent lesson.

[yakantfademe]

brave little sombo!

[mach1man22]

You can definitely tell MF's voice changed pretty drastically with age...

[Escudo56]

also alot of smoking

[mxserr]

yo! there goes that kid phife diggy in the hair shop!

[KillaKail94]

Zev Love X Should Get Dat Mr.Clean

[718273]

Zev (MF Doom) always had lyrics

[macky765]

OH SHIT T-PAIN BEFORE HE GOT BIG

[freshness222]

T-Pain was 6 when this came out

[crespo03]

is that phife at 2:57?

[KickMeAndCancel]

Zev Love X written backwards is X Evolvez

[tricedatrigga]

Best KMD song, nuff respect to Zev Love X aka MF Doom. Anyone hatin, remember this brother's been in the game for about 20 joints, and still has a strong cult following.

[SCOTTMARTINEAU]

This album ... with fellow God Squad ALUM Brand Nubians ... were years ahead of their time as to what was bad and what was great about rap!!

[rdub520]

AMEN!!! Couldn't have said it better!!!

[Mtheory420]

Its called old age

[hotshot1453]

little sambo is dope

[macky765]

hey all they had to do was give that sambo character some gold teeth and a chain and he would like like 85% of the southern rappers out now.

[rdub520]

Hahahaha! No kidding!!! Hip-Hop had a GREAT direction in the early 90's with folks like KMD, Brand Nubian, etc. Too bad soon it went TOTALLY the other way. Soldier Boy, etc. Ugh.

[damiononupsal]

OH MY GOD memories!! I haven't heard this in about 18, 19 years

[ElSolidaro]

yes

[infamousflamboyant]

is that doom with the rasta hat

[eddierob]

na its an rbg hat. stands for being proud of being yourself and how you came into this world and not being a stereotype.

[RMTGaGa]

What aload of fucking shite.

[djhousefire]

god, hip-hop hasn't been this smart in so long, i almost forgot what it sounded like.

[viceboy176]

i remember them from the ansaar nation free dr york r.i.p dj subroc classic

[deechillah]

I know of a lot of yall think Doom just started naming himself that recently but if you listen to Mf Grimms "scars and memories" album (collection of cuts from the nineties) They was calling each other Grimm and Doom since then.Check out that cut called "World War III" and you'll see what I'm talking about

[danesite]

All the songs to Scars and Memories were rerecorded as most of the original masters were stolen, so they could have changed the names for the rerecording.

[deechillah]

I doubt it

AT least not for the WWIII track

[deechillah]

I do know some of the reels was jacked though but not all of them

[realcloak]

50 cent, Soulja-fag, lil jon, three-six mafia = Sambos. yeah, I said it, and I am a 31 year old black male. Those cats need to take a step back and look at themselves. Nothing more than reincarnations of the minstrel shows from the late 1800's and early 1900's. th edifference? Whites would put on black face make up. Soulja-fag and the gang PERSONIFY the stereo-ytpe.

[PumaSweat]

Yo I been trying to say the same to my people, er'body like "oh it's just music" I'm like tell that to black folks back in the day.

[totallyguhdude]

the dude in the glases is a young mf doom!!

[ludovico813]

Captain Obvious here ^

[metrist9]

fucking perfect classik song.

dj sub rock is genius... R.I.P

[ironman36]

HIP HOP NEEDS TO GO BACK. WAY BACK!!!

[shellbone1985]

mf doom is in this before he became mf doom

[ironman36]

formally known as Zev Love X

[Sceno1]

you don't need talent to rap in this day and time... you just need an image

[Sceno1]

with disregard to what was argued below, we can all agree that BET and MTV .. and the radio ( "rap" stations ) don't deliver any quality music what so ever

[TheCishStyle]

ostia el negrito del colacao xd

[Pokemonmaster9000]

dooms brother died crossing the long island express way in 93 :(

[rcastan99]

Brings back memories...those were the days of the fun funky beats...

[germizz]

all Zev's shit is dope. DOOM! R.I.P. Subroc

[solideowoo]

this is my favorite song at the moment. such a dope beat and zev's flow is impeccable.

[shortcakejd1974]

what happen to this kind of ny east coast rap..Rap is dead now and it's not the east coast fault... Young bucks like that B.S southern rap.. no message in there songs.. pure garbage rap today.

[themagicbus]

rap is only dead cuz theres a hundred kids online that say it is .

If you actually care about hip hop go out and do something!

[YoungEazyE]

rap aint dead cuz of that, sure it might not exactly help things wen ppl constantly say that and do nothng to bac it up, nah mean but Soulja Boy? when crap like that is labeled as music theres a HUGE problem

[themagicbus]

The problem is when motherfuckers get all pissy about soulja boy but then download the KMD cd. Or download any CD and say. "LOOK I LIKE REAL HIP HOP. I AM REAL IN THIS WORLD FULL OF FAKES." But you really dont give a shit about hiphop. Or you're stupid. Marketing execs figured out the only way people will buy pop CDs is: party jam they can buy on iTunes, Hannah Montahish stuff that kids get their moms to buy, or some country or something.

Buy a CD. That is all

[YoungEazyE]

dude if i didnt care about hip hop, X-Ray Da Mindbenda, Stones Throw, RAVAGE, Monsta Island Czars, and Kurious wouldnt be callin my shyt ill son, u have a point to what your sayin, but jus cuz u bought a CD or 2 dont make u any more dedicated than those who happen to download it

[themagicbus]

word I just download

Im not tryin to say Im better anyways. Just a thought.

[YoungEazyE]

i know man, real talk tho, stay up

RIP SUBROC btw his myspace page URL is djsubrockmd be sure to add him, PEACE

[YoungEazyE]

Eastcoast rap..hm, memory lane fam, we CONTROLLED IT back in the day man, what happened was, dudes commercialized it, it changed hands from the real dudes to the Execs wit tha checks

[LongDivision8]

love that beat!

[lilpuppet1992]

ya know why he is slower and odder as rapper now. after his borhter died he bacme delusional and homeless. if sub roc never dies zev would still be zev n not doom but i think they are both good but i like doom better just because his style

[JermzBAW]

Everyone knows Zev Love X is MF Doom. But is it true that Onyx the Birthstone Kid is the same as Sonsee Seeza from Onyx?

[amd1977]

In a word...no

[LongDivision8]

I think he goes by Rodan now, i could be wrong about that.

[LongDivision8]

I think he goes by Rodan now, i could be wrong about that.

[LongDivision8]

nvm...i am wrong about that...lol

[JermzBAW]

Classic song, one of the best albums of all time, Zev Love X was one of the greatest rappers ever.  RIP Sub Roc

[tarrded]

Yo,i never new that phife was in the barber chair?

[linco29]

mf doom...

[Kurosawa3]

fucking classic...one of the most underrated groups/albums of all time in rap luckily peach fuzz is on here too the only thing missing is the hum song with bert and ernie!

[CoNTuffgong76]

I love Humrush.

[staticchild]

fat joint

[deechillah]

We soooo need this TODAY! Even MORE than then!

[THEBLACKMANIZGOD7]

Thats MF DOOM.....

"The mask is like Jason. They told the place not to let the basket type case in. He could be some kind of wacko. Waiting for the chance to heat the pipes up like a crack ho."

Versus from the Song Titled: VOMITSPIT

[sanmuhammad]

Dr. York's followers Rapping.

Dope song!!

[hothotnyny516]

zev love x or Mf Doom

[troyterry2445]

doom

[eddierob]

zev love x 4 real zev wud roast doom in a battle cuz doom dont even got the energy he did back then

[JermzBAW]

I agree 100% with eddierob. Doom is cool, but Zev Love X was on pace to become one of the best ever. Truly a legend!

[Hitamaru]

Doom was 500 less pounds 0.0..

[homr1]

ight its like this doom/grimm both talented i dnt care what u grimm haters think about if u yall remember monster island czar (m.i.c)etc, anyways points is doom is sicker cmon zeb luv x and mf grimm sick 2 peace yall..

[ralphocop]

Dumile.

[Dyobolikal]

strong island mo fuckaz!!!!!!!!

[ridgidwaters]

this beat honestly could be switched with the beat from 3rd bass's gas face and nobody would know the difference. props to both groups for owning the style.

[IntelligentHoodlum]

kind of...but the walking bass on 'gas face' sets it apart (plus it has a piano loop on it).

[nicoTPG]

fuk that doom is the most original rapper hes much better than that fag mf grimm and hes better than alot of main stream rappers out now

[hillfunky1]

grimms wack compared to doom, no flow, no lyrics, jus bitter dooms a bit more famous now

[Senruset]

That dispute is over.

[cheekyweasel]

yo that guy at the end, in the barbershop looks like Phife Dawg from Tribe. thats dope

[CoNTuffgong76]

Doesn't he? Weird.

[rarenature]

man that is Phife

[BornRasun]

Man this brings back memories!... I don't give a fuck about grimm and doom's beef I still listen to their joints. R.I.P. Subroc!!

[jasarzulu]

get off grimm dick!!!

[YoungEazyE]

he aint on Grimm dick, DOOM and Grimm have beef

[InfamousAllegiance19]

MF Doom is just a washed up gimmic, He

Use`s the marvel character Doom`s image.

Tho he aint never been no real fantastic 4

Fan or Marvel being he dissed the movies.Fuck Doom,

Grimm slayed dat nigga on wax.

[YoungEazyE]

i understand totally wat ur sayin cuz me and my brotha been havin the same thoughts but theres alot of stuff u dont kno. Back wen DOOM was Zev Love X he was in a group called KMD wit his lil brotha DJ Subroc, and another MC who was his friend since Junior High. its alot to type so hit me up wit a message and ill explain the rest

[jack00008]

Doom didn't diss the movies! plus Grimm is a cheap rip off of Doom. that guys the king of the hip hop underground(almost).

[Ryder60]

stick to t-pain nigga, you don't know shit about nothing!
