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

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.

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.

I get that mainly from novels and that style of writing or movies where there’s multiple characters who carry the storyline.

We need other human beings in order to be human. I am because other people are. A person is entitled to a stable community life, and the first of these communities is the family.

A library outranks any other one thing a community can do to benefit its people. It is a never failing spring in the desert.

Get vaccinated – not just for yourself, but for your community.

We’re taught at such an early age to be against the communists, yet most of us don’t have the faintest idea what communism is. Only a fool lets somebody else tell him who his enemy is.

If we want a beloved community, we must stand for justice.

I measure the progress of a community by the degree of progress which women have achieved.

Communism is like prohibition, it is a good idea, but it won’t work.

I have taken an oath in my heart to oppose communism until the day I die.
