RIP

[Curtis, baby]

Wonder if it was covid related. I heard he was very adamant about the benefits of wearing a mask

[rischka]

muthafuckin DOOM

[ole dole doff]

i see there is truly a generation gap in this forum.
Joffrey de Peyrac (a notorious grand seducer) dies but (completely unknown) MF Doom is being mourned.
otherwise, no wonder a guy who wears a mask as a part of his villain stylization doesn't want to put over another (non-villain) mask.
the message to the public would be highly contradictory then.

[ole dole doff]

(Joffrey de Peyrac & MF Doom aside), i also noticed today (and it made me feel mournful)...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luigi_Snozzi
Snozzi died in Minusio on 29 December 2020, at the age of 88, after contracting COVID-19.

in the past, i attended his lecture and i like his work.

MF Who? Joffrey de What?

Dawn Wells -- now there's an incalculable loss.

[Joks Trois]

Listened to MF DOOM quite a bit in the early to mid 00's. Shame.

Operation Doomsday and Madvillainy are essential 'underground' rap albums.

[greennui]

DOOM put out more classic albums in 2003/2004 than many artists do in a lifetime.

His musical output never really felt the same after he was denied entry back into the US and had to relocate to the UK.

the only rapper i had an affinity to was Wesley Willis (the rest is just one big blind spot).

You are an educated rapper
You are a good rap artist
You can really rap like a Magikist
You can really whip a kangaroo's ass

KRS-One, KRS-One, KRS-One, KRS-One

Keep on playing that rap music
Groove it on the jack move
Jam harder like a Magikist
Rap harder like a Magikist

KRS-One, KRS-One, KRS-One, KRS-One

Your rap music is the willpower to my artwork
The music will harmonize me
The jam session keeps me in the groove
Your rap music will take me on a joyride

KRS-One, KRS-One, KRS-One, KRS-One

Apted on his future with the Up series last year:

"I hope to do 84 Up when I’ll be 99.”

I'd hoped so too. Damn.

That's amazing, I was introduced to TNYDolls for the very first time only just last night, watching episode one of PRETEND IT'S A CITY. I'd never heard of them before. Talk about strange coincidences!

[Holymanm]

dare i say..... 2021 is too much too soon?

[cinesmith]

In the midst of the junket interviews when it was first released. Apted had implied that it was likely to be the final installment as a number of the subjects were passing away. I think that it was also obvious that if he were to die that this would also be the end of the road for this project. Personally, I found the shifts in the subjects lives during 28UP were the most significant.
