Wow never heard this one before

mf doom didn't really have anything to do with this song but it sounds so sad when I hear it knowing he's gone now

That sade flip on doomsday

DOOM’s production was something else

Dude also revolutionized skits in his production. I always crack up at the skit after Deep Friend Frenz

Open Mic skits on Vaudeville Villain make me laugh too

I had a deep call with Madlib yesterday, a free wheeling conversation that, of course, focused on DOOM and how confounding and complicated this last week has been – which, as I’ve seen many note, describes how any real relationship with the man behind the mask was.

I remembered, at that moment, something I hadn’t heard in a while, and I went to my test press archive – I keep a test press of every record I work on, and have been doing so for over 20 years now – and there they were: the two versions of STH2064 you see here, Madvillain “Money Folder.”

That’s my handwriting you see there – I tried to label each record as they came in - and, as you see, the dates are one month apart…. there is the original version, and “version #2.” We had mastered and pressed the first version of “Money Folder” – the first vocal performance DOOM did – but it never made it beyond the test press phase. I think we made five of them. Then DOOM re-recorded his vocals, changing the pitch and attack of his voice, and altering some words. That was the version that made it to the album, and the former version was forgotten about.

I gave one of the test presses to @jrocc210 and I remember him doing the most masterful blend of the two versions on the “Friday Night Flavors” radio show he and his crew did on Power 106 FM, alternating between the two vocal performances. I’ve included some snippets here – swipe left – and also the inscribe. I would love it if someone would update Discogs with that information, as I’m too much of a luddite to do so myself.

Could not agree more with you on this

How is this already unstickied, I’m still so sad over this, haven’t listened to anything but DOOM all week
