BT 79: MF DOOM is a Trekkie

1h 28m · Published 14 Jul 18:52

This week, Backtrekking returns once again to the world of music and hip-hop to talk about an MC who is a not-so-secret Trekkie! MF DOOM is your "favorite rapper's rapper", an MC that came from tragedy and obscurity to be one of the weirdest, most talented, and most respected names in the game. And that name is spelled in ALL CAPS, btw.

On the show, we talk about DOOM's origins in '90s hip hop, the tragic death of his brother and bandmate, his reinvention as Metal Face, the way he subverts hip hop trends, his incredible collaborations with industry players, his mysterious and tragic departure, and of course, his endless use of sci-fi and Star Trek references in his songs!

The roach was never dead!
