    Man, if Radiohead do more collabs with other rap *artists*, this game will change. WOW.

  7. The beat reminds me of the scene in Home Alone when Kevin goes downstairs and the furnace comes alive. I fucking love it.

  9. What is wrong with everybody’s ears? The beat is weak, they’ve got no grasp of how DOOM’s flow should fall on the beat and have ended up layering his vocals completely out of time in places. No idea of how drops in the beat should give shine to punchlines. If this was anybody else nobody would be giving it the time of day. Just a terrible waste of a new DOOM verse, not even getting the most fundamental basics right (see also Thom Yorke’s previous remix), somebody needs to liberate the vocals and do it up properly. #emperor’s new clothes.

  21. Certainly better than the last thing Thom Yorke attempted to do. This was alright. Always great to hear more DOOM.

  22. Some of yall negros ears are so limited when it comes to music. Stop listening to all that boom bap shit and pick up a Radiohead LP, or pick up a book study some music.

  25. @jose this is a poor example of doom in my opinion..his flow is all off and really since everything after mouse and the mask he’s been on a decline..if you listen to mm..food and madvillainy you can see his lyrics go deep

  30. the beat is priceless, but they rhymes are kind of trash. DOOM was even on beat most of the time

    dev said this on November 2nd, 2011 at 1:23 pm

  31. man i like doom but to keep it real. If wayne said these exact lyrics you niggas would say this is trash and ask what the fuck he was babbling about. this nigga is talking nonsense. like seriously yall just cosign names. this niggas said some random ass shit that you niggas did not even understand. you probably gave this thumbs up as soon as you read the name and title.

  32. damn im so glad and actually impressed that we have some realists in the c section who dont just dickride music based on who made it. I dig doom but this shit is recycle bin material. fuck that dickriding shit.

    Aires said this on November 2nd, 2011 at 2:47 pm

  33. Its scientifically proven that thirsty niggas will dickride anything that isnt lil wayne or rick ross.

  37. this beat is on some tiger in the jungle shit

    Johnny Blaze said this on November 3rd, 2011 at 5:21 pm

  38. This song is dope, the beat is a hit or miss, for me its hitting for others its missing. The lyrics actually have some witty gems in it, i think lol if i translated right.

    For example he has braggadocios bars:

    Who sent him
    Steady losing momentum
    Old eat a rapper a day like Centrum
    The mask is like a gun dumb dumb dumb
    (um)
    And it don’t matter where you come from ya bum

    He has bars relevant to the industry:
    Stop telling codes through the youtube retarded fools
    It defeats the purpose
    Greedily slurp up the surplus and burp puss

    He has bars where he uses deeper metaphorical meaning:
    Wondering in pictures why his lips so black yo
    No question an ounce of prevention
    More than a pound of raw cure pure intention

    Its no coherent subject imo, but it is called Retarded Fren so maybe that’s the theme idk lol.

    Doom is my favorite rapper, so there is some bias but I legit listened to the bars and enjoyed them.

    I could see someone saying its not that good but we all have diffrent taste, and don’t put lil wayne’s name on a Doom post smh he couldn’t say shit like this so he is irrelevant.
