“When I listen to hip-hop, I listen to Just Ice, Boogie Down Productions, Ultramagnetic MCs.”

Nobody knows me – I’m incognito. It’s all new, all fun.

I make hip-hop, but use Doom as a character to convey stories that a normal dude can’t.

Ever since third grade, I had a notebook and was putting together words just for fun.

Everybody nowadays rhymes, but out of the people that really, really do it well, it’s still a small community of artists.

I’m always trying to show versatility. I’m juggling, and I’m flipping fire, and I’m chewing gum and rhyming at the same time… on a unicycle, while playing the drums.

I grew up in that age, and it was memorable. But I’m down with all of it. Chuck D or Danny Brown? I feel comfortable with all of them. Word up, kid! Word up, man!

I’m back – now watch this!’ It all boils down to the music. The mask is a slight theme for people to enjoy, and it adds mystery.

The ‘Doom’ thing is to be able to come at things with a different point of view. I decided the mask would just add to the mystique of the character as well as make Doom stand out.

I might as well use it to control the story. So why not do something like throw a mask on?

I liked being able to speak to somebody and throw it back and forth, and they can’t predict what you’re going to say next.

Being older now, grown, I’m like, ‘What do we really do that’s fun?’ I’m kind of corny when you think about it. What could I rhyme about? Let me see, um, I gotta pay the rent today.

I spent 35 years growing up in the U.S., and it had its ups and downs.

I liked different etymologies, different slang that came out in different eras. Different languages. Different dialects.

Doom is a classic supervillain, akin to the Phantom of the Opera. It’s not about revenge so much as, like.

I’m doing the shows. The stage is my canvas; I’ll put whatever up there for the visible eye.

A visual always brings a first impression. But if there’s going to be a first impression.

If someone is trying to bring you down, it only means you’re above them.

When Jesus looked down from the cross, he didn’t think “I am giving myself to you because you are so attractive to me.”

A gun fires of its own accord and a man is shot. And a broken-down old house no good for anything but chasing kids has to trip over us. Blind accidents. What can you do against blind accidents?

Take some time to sit down and figure out how your big rival is promoting their brand and plan something smarter and more creative for yours!

It just takes a pebble to bring down a good man.

He knew I was playing a little bit of guitar. He saw a banjo at a flea market and bought it. I took it home with me and just never put it down. I was fifteen.

When the gap between ideal and real becomes too wide, the system breaks down.

You know, the music business is like the Lotto. Just put your numbers down and sometimes they hit, and sometimes they don’t. There’s just no rhyme or reason.
