Every MF DOOM Persona Explained

Enigmatic rapper Daniel Dumile most commonly known as MF DOOM has collected a handful of different nicknames throughout his multidecade carrier. Unlike other aliases, however, Dumile takes it all one step further by attributing entirely different characters to each moniker. From Metal Fingers to Viktor Vaughn there is plenty to unpack in regards to the multitude of alias DOOM is known under.

"It's about the beats
Not about the streets
Or who's food you bout ta eat."
-DOOM

Knowing that we will never get any more Geedorah gives me such a bad taste in my mouth, it's just sad man

[aamaurismith]

Geedorah has always been my favorite DOOM persona, as a big kaiju fan. I love that he sampled the showa films so routinely under this persona.

[d_c]

The only man who can truly breakdown everything about DOOM. Thanks, AE!

[jacktheartisan]

I always loved the King Geedorah persona the most out of any of DOOM's personas since I'm huge kaiju fan. Whenever I'd go over to grandma's apartment as a kid, there was this stack of DVDs that mostly consisted of 60's samurai flicks, Shaw Brothers/Golden Harvest martial arts films, and showa era japanese monster movies (my grandma is of japanese decent so those were the movies she gravetated to). I always loved it when DOOM would reference "nerdy" stuff in his lyrics or personas, whether it be Marvel cartoons, or a Star Trek reference, or a sample from an old kaiju film, that's what got me into his albums when I was in middle school, to which I'm still a fan today.

[professorrubickmagusgrandi]

My favourite is Viktor Vaughn. I love the weird mix of an awkward, nerdy kid flipping needing to be a gangster during his transition to becoming a true villain.

[internetjous]

My fav character is prob Viktor Vaughn. While he's younger than DOOM, his record sounds a lot darker, aesthetic wise, than any MF DOOM album, the impression I have with that material is that it's fresh and unique. I prefer Madvillainy overall but Vik is a pretty well developed character thanks to Vaudeville Villain.

[TOSRIP]

This man, will forever be a timeless artist, just look at the fan made mixtapes out there

[LuksThiago]

The fact that Vic diss DOOM on Fancy Clown put his music in another level. Keep it up with vids, dude.

ALL CAPS for the MAN.

[Pendejo]

You ethier die a hero, or live long enough to see your self become the villain...
Long live MF DOOM

[ninjasrose]

Firstly, this is a great breakdown! Secondly, MF DOOM is one of the most important Hip Hop artists that's ever lived. His contribution to the culture will only be recognised in full, when in 20 years, we're still talking about him. Absolute legend. One of the best ever!

Love the Yoshikage Kira theme in the background

"V. Vaughn's the travelling vaudeville villain,
And don't give a flying fxck who ain't not feeling him...'
RIP 👑 D. Dumile

[KasirRham]

If I had to pick one it's gonna be the main villian, MF DOOM. I also find the idea of Vaughn intriguing because he's a character that admires and looks up to DOOM but has is own separate ideas and adventures.... We need a DOOM videogame.

"King Ghidorah take me to your leader..."
-MF Doom 🕊🙏🏾😥💜
Few songs later you hear Showa King Ghidorah roar as the hype man.

[jhmovement]

All of these MF DOOM videos are beautiful, and are a worthy tribute to him ✌🏻

[lowgman]

Another appearance of MF DOOM as King Dumile on The Jade Amulet album is worth a listening and a shout out. A killer concept album I happily revisit beginning to end every few weeks.

Kira's theme on the background while explaining King Geedorah? A Dream Come true 😍

[Punky]

Great video! King Geedorah is probably my fav DOOM persona too since take me to your leader has alot of toho godzilla references and I just like king ghidorah!
