As good as he is at rhyming, his writing is just in a league of its own... He uses alliteration, onomatopoeia, metaphors, irony, comedy - he employs all of this with ease. He doesn't 'just rhyme'. His grasp on the English language is genuinely incredible.

This man litterly said “I like ice cream.” And still made it dope and chilling.

[charlieyork]

I swear, MF DOOM could make a double entendre referring to molly and play off a classic children’s nursery rhyme with internal rhyming, oh wait, he already did.

[narcisoanasui]

His voice sounds like a freshly baked loaf of bread.

WE'RE GOING TO RUN OUT OF COLORS

RIP MF DOOM, The greatest to ever do it

My teacher: Don’t highlight everything, only the important parts

"Do not stand still, boast yo skills
Close but no krills, toast for po' nills, post no bills
Coast to coast, Joe Schmo's flows ill, go chill
Not supposed to overdose No-Doz pills"

He used the force when he wrote this

[dmi]

someone tell DOOM that he doesn't have to rhyme every syllable

[educostanzo]

The part from 1:19 to 1:28 is so crazy, so rhythmic, so clever. I always wait for this part to have my mind blown, everytime.

"The best MC with no chain you ever heard"
Facts

A lot of people don’t get DOOM and think he rhymin nonsense. He’s a lyrical vituoso, he combines an amalgam of sounds, syllables and mental images to a beat. DOOM on the mic is like like Bird on the horn. Freestyle genius. Undefeated champion.

[vxel]

DOOM’s rhyming so hard that Highlighted had to use all of the colors on the visible light spectrum

[SheNeverCared]

I remember cwalking to this song in 2013
RIP MF DOOM!

[vkcdqwi]

Edit: Why tf I come back to this and there's 163 replies get a hobby.

[zac.m]

easily one of the best at rhyming in the game
EVER

[dimelo]

That subtle pause after “let me think” and the beat skipping when he says “skip” at the end just shows incredible attention to detail and just a mastery of the craft.

[SnowFaceChamcham]

Literally never heard about this guy until after his passing. Dude was a legend, as I'm now finding out

[StuTheDon]

You should sell the coloured lyrics as prints.
I’d buy this one in a heart beat.

“They’ve bit but don’t know their neck shine from Shinola
Everything that glitters ain’t fishscale”
DOOM is saying other rappers are like fish that have taken the bait (hook) and now it’s piercing their neck but they don’t even know it. Because the hook glitters underwater, like DOOM himself. And so does jewelry, or Shinola, or fishscales.
